Neil Young Plays BST Hyde Park London

Neil Young was part of the BST Hyde Park shows over the weekend with an 18-song setlist build on the past with none of the present.

Despite a new album, a first album with The Chrome Hearts, Neil bypassed every track from the album to give an audience of oldies, with the newest from the ‘Greendale’ album 22 years ago.

The show focused mainly on 1970’s ‘After The Gold Rush’ with three tracks, ‘’Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere’ from 1969 had two, as did ‘Harvest’ (1971), ‘Ragged Glory’ (1990) and ‘Greendale’ (2003).

BST Hyde Park was also meant to feature Jeff Lynne’s ELO with their final performance. It turns out the final ELO performance was Manchester earlier in the week. Lynne suddenly pulled out of touring citing a ‘Systemic infection”.
