Due to overwhelming interest in his upcoming Coastal Tour, Neil Young added two new dates to his summer run. The musician, known for his soaring guitar solos and distinct vocals, will now take part in an added appearance at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on July 10. He has also signed on for a gig at Outdoor Arena at Harvey’s in Lake Tahoe, Nev., on July 24.
Young’s return to the road was teased last week via a live Zoom call with paid Patreon subscribers from the Neil Young Archive. The artist and his team followed up days later by releasing an original run of shows slated for the Pacific coastline. Due to the fact that Young had not toured in approximately four years, the demand for a concert experience jolted.
On the road, Young will deliver sets of music that fray from his regulatory hits. In the initial Zoom call with fans, he stated: “I don’t want to come back and do the same songs again.” Thr musician continued, “I’ll feel like I was on some sort of carnival ride. I’d rather be doing these other songs I haven’t done… I won’t have to compare how I’m doing ‘Heart of Gold’ to [how I played it in] 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020.”
Young had also added commentary on the 15 tracks he plans to run through during upcoming appearances via Zoom, mentioning his 1995 Pearl Jam collaboration, “Song X,” and “Prime of Life” from 1994’s Sleep With Angels and others. “I did a demo of [‘If You Gotta Love’] a few years [after Trans] with a synclavier, a drum machine, harmonica, and some effects.” He added. “I listened to it [recently], and it turned me on again. I’m doing it with the organ and harmonica. It’s pretty cool.”
