Neil Young performed solo at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles last night March 30, 2014.
Thanks to a couple of fans, we can see and hear some of the show.
Over at Thrasher’s Wheat, some fans who saw the show were enthusiastic. However some fans at the show went overboard.

Great show .. Sadly still haven’t seen Thrasher .. Basically the same setlist except Blowin in the Wind instead of Thrasher, no harvest moon or flying on the ground and Reason to Believe instead of Are you ready for the country …
There was a complete ass who yelled for Cinnamon Girl after ever single song .. Just insane .. What’s wrong with these people? Neil finally couldn’t take it anymore and just screamed “fuck you” back. Everyone erupted in applause.
You can see Young scream “Fuck you” in this clip:
“Mellow My Mind”:
“Someday”:
“Harvest”:
“A Man Needs A Maid”:
“Southern Man”:
“If You Could Read My Mind”:
“Heart Of Gold”:
“Heart Of Gold,” another view:

Last night Neil Young performed at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times reviewed the show:
It wasn’t a big leap to wonder during Saturday’s opening night of Neil Young’s four-night run of solo acoustic concerts in Hollywood whether Jesus, if he returned to address a modern-day audience, would have to contend with a steady stream of shouts from the back for “Sermon on the Mount!” “Water into wine!” and “Free Bird!”
Young fielded a similar barrage of requests (“Cinnamon Girl!” “Down By the River!”) and comments (“You’re the man!”) from the sold-out crowd at the Dolby Theatre good-naturedly.At one point he tacitly acknowledged the tone of almost spiritual pilgrimage in the air by shaking the water out of a harmonica onto folks sitting in the first few rows, a rock ’n’ roll priest anointing his flock. He even shifted into request mode himself after another outburst from fans, mock shouting “The Beatles!” “The Rolling Stoooooones!” “Free Bird!”
Read the full review here.

Below I’ve got a full take of “Goin’ Back” that sounds awesome, and then fragments of some other songs. Hopefully more complete songs will surface soon.

Here’s the setlist for the March 29, 2014 show.

In theory, Bob Dylan performing with Keith Richards and Ron Wood at Live Aid in 1985 should have been a home run.
One could imagine Richards and Wood adding ragged harmony vocals, and each supplying wiry guitar solos.
Oh but that was not to be. Instead they’re like the two stooges, floundering and posing while Dylan does his best to deliver three of his classics.
Looking at these clips now, I’m surprised at how good Dylan sounds. Despite his loaded buddies, he pulls this three-song set off, even dealing with a busted string.
That night there was a private party inside the second floor suite at the Palace Hotel in Philadelphia. I was reporting a cover story on Live Aid for Rolling Stone (August 15, 1985 issue) and managed to get into the party, which was attended by Dylan, Wood and Richards, as well as Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Stephen Stills, former Temptations Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin, Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, Jack Nicholson, Neil Young, Miami Vice‘s Don Johnson and others.
I asked Richards what it was like for him to play with Dylan.
“Well it’s not the first time,” he said.
“It’s the first time you’ve played together in public,” I said.
“Yeah, first time before a paying audience. Course we didn’t get paid.” He laughed, and joked, “Would have been better if we’d gotten paid.”
I went up to Dylan and asked if he’d had fun on stage.
“Fun?” he said. “No, we couldn’t hear anything. We had fun rehearsing.”
“Ballad of Hollis Brown”:
“When the Ship Comes In”:
“Blowin’ in the Wind”:
Plus here’s Dylan at the Willie Nelson Tribute Birthday Party, May 1993, singing “Hard Times”:
