Neil Young has been reaching deep into the catalogue to dust off a few songs rarely played in more than a decade.
Two songs from 2003’s ‘Greendale’ are in the set. ‘Be The Rain’ has only been played three times since 2004 in 2014 and ‘Sun Green’ hasn’t been played since 2004.
Two Crosby Stills Nash & Young songs are from the 1988 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album ‘American Dream’ and 1999’s ‘Looking Forward’. ‘Looking Forward’ hasn’t been performed since 2000 and ‘Name of Love’ was last performed by Neil in 2014.
The main set hasn’t changed for the first three Euro shows but the encore rotates. Despite touring with The Chrome Dreams, there is also nothing from Neil’s new album ‘Talkin’ To The Trees’ (released in 13 June 2025). Neil recorded the album as Neil Young & The Chrome Dreams.
2022’s ‘World Record’ and 2021’s ‘Barn’ were also absent from the set.
In Sweden, 18 June the encore was ‘Rockin’ In the Free World’, Norway 20 June the encore was ‘Cortez The Killer’ and the 22 June show in Denmark featured ‘Down By The River’ and ‘Rockin’ In the Free World’
