Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Bonnaroo 2003

[@johnmalmo2110]

21 years and hundreds of concerts later - this one hasn't been topped.

[@digitalmike1128]

woooooord.

[@SchreckDogg]

I was there, shortly after this show raced back to the car to try and make it back to upstate Ny, for high school finals to graduate. We didn’t make to far as my buddy fell asleep at the wheel, and we crashed my moms brand new car about 20 miles out of Manchester. Luckily we all survived, thank you mom love you!

[@SchreckDogg]

Teacher was a old hippie, and let us take the test 4 days later, as that how long the bus ride home was lol

[@tomahawkhead]

Glad you made it in one piece, man! Now that´s a story for your grandkids.

[@jrh4ua1]

Great story …the same year I was driving home and somehow found myself near 100 miles the wrong way, as everyone else was asleep , I had a head full of fluff , tripping over the speed limit lol….but no regrets on that, I had some good music to blast to get us home

[@JamesRowland-cj5wg]

God bless you Neil Young you will be missed by a lot of people God bless you know you will surely be missed ❤️👍 love 😂

[@jesapizza4197]

Despite the revolving jam sessions, this was a crowd with a long attention span, and the festival's best stretches were when bands just held their own for long chunks of time. Neil Young, on Friday, performed with his three-decade-old band, Crazy Horse, under a custardy full moon. For three hours he played expanded versions, some of them 29 minutes long, of his best songs -- ''Love to Burn,'' ''Cortez the Killer,'' ''Cinnamon Girl'' and others. He was the only soloist, breaking to solo at length several times per song. Playing in his ragged, stuttering phrases, he made strings of notes crumble into noise, then recohere toward graceful endings. (The festival's excellent concert sound made his guitar tone feel a mile thick.) It was extraordinary, the ideal of a gnarled yet sophisticated technique.---NY Times review--slightly choppy , but to me, spot on. And by the way--it was several miles thick.

[@jrh4ua1]

WAS THERE , BEST OPENING NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF BONNAROO ..

[@brennerholloman8379]

Well said my friend

[@martypeterson6747]

I remember convincing myself that Memphis and Knoxville could probably hear a faint rumble from this show. Just an incredible show with thunderous sound.

[@richardkirby9525]

I just love getting taken in & lost within Uncle Neil's long songs. Lights off & let yourself go😌🙂‍↔️

[@steveferraro7086]

No matter if anything..Neil Young is the King to ME..

[@BillBondsHasAPosse]

Best live set I ever seen and I been to over 75 Phish and 50 widespread panic shows and well over 100 Dead shows. This right here tho 👌🏼

[@jhendrixfanatic2]

I flew in from Arizona just to seethis set in particular. The first song was 23 minutes long. There were a lot of jam band aficionados who were not familiar with his jamming style, and after Love to Burn finished, he had them all for the rest of the set. One of the most amazing shows of my life! ( still talking about it in 2021, right?)

[@stewcoe8126]

So

[@rgw612]

Same! Top 3 show for me!

[@davidgistelli8384]

wow u b quantified. No phish here , no panic....plenty of Dead going back to 73. NEIL is king though...Last show I've seen was in Sac. way back when he did the Candle lit stage show with the horse. I'll guess early 90s. it was at the waterworks place there...saw the Dead there too but earlier.

[@mithrandirir]

One of my Highlights roaming this planet! What an awesome weekend that was!

[@digitalmike1128]

damn right. I was on top of an RV in a lawn chair just 30 feet beyond the mainstage perimeter. A random, crazy bastard set off a repeating rocket firework on the walkway mere seconds before this set kicked off. The way the wall of sound swirled around the gentle bowl of the natural landscape...ugh...perfection. Goddamn I've never heard anything like it since...and I've been around the block a time or two. It was an all-timer of a show, that's to say the least.

[@stuartasanders]

At the time, I thought, "Yep Neil is showing all these other young guns at Bonnaroo what the original Jam Band can do". I was simply blown away!!

[@PikoJoe]

I was there too!

[@brycencesar6273]

I was there too. Sad to say I was in a gripping heroin and OxyContin addiction. I remember my girl and I doing a bunch before his set and we were feeling so lovely. I swear the melted away during the buildup to Cortez the Killer.

[@peteshaw7848]

Love To Burn is a perfect set opener! Amazing concert

[@MrDrewderden]

This was an excellent start to an amazing weekend.

I LOVE how they all play so close to each other.

[@vinylanimyl]

What is significant to me, having been at the show as well. That in 03 Neil was only playing the Greendale album at his shows. Both solo and with the Crazy Horse, this was the first date of that year that he did this crazy horse set, of which he only did a handful of other times that year. So this was the first one of those shows, the super rare 03 Crazy Horse sets

[@boomerapproved414]

I went to a Neil Young and CH show in 03 in St. Louis and he played Greendale. I had no clue he was doing that and was kind of mad but, ultimately, I did enjoy it. Thankfully I had the album so I was at least familiar with the music. there were a lot of confused folks that day though.

[@charlesandrews2360]

That was also one of those rare years that he played with Crazy Horse at Farm Aid.

[@barryeinsohn2839]

You just get lost in the Music, Absolutely Love The Guitar Work. WOW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜

My favorite guitarist of all time. I’ve been laughed at for saying that! But if you know, you just know.

[@jonesmorrell2619]

I was there!!!! Amazing show.

[@waynesoveran9413]

What a concert Neil just plays and plays you can hear at times him missing notes but that’s how he plays, he’s very innovative and you might call him sloppy but he’s not he knows exactly what he’s doing.The rest of the band also great pure magic.

[@jhendrixfanatic2]

I flew in from Arizona just to see this set in particular. it was only the second Bonnaroo. The first song was 23 minutes long. There were a lot of jam band aficionados who were not familiar with his jamming style, and after Love to Burn finished, he had them all in the palm of his hand for the rest of the set. One of the most amazing shows of my life! ( still talking about it in 2021, right?)

[@TwinPawsFWWM]

drove up from MI, one of the best performances i've ever seen. I always thought i exaggerated the length of the opener but nope, it really was that long (and good)!

[@charlesandrews2360]

Missed this show but I still talk about their 1991 show in Chicago.

[@charlesandrews2360]

That reminds me of the time I went to see Neil Young when Dave Matthews Band opened for them. The place was packed with DMB fans and I came strolling in just as crazy horse started to play. I was in the 7th row dancing and grooving and when the song was over I turned around to look at the crowd reaction. All of the Dave Matthews fans were just sitting there with their mouths wide open in stunned amazement. I'm sure Neil and Crazy Horse captured a lot of Dave Matthews fans who most likely thought that their favorite was going to steal the show from old man Young.

My first year going to bonnaroo out of 5 years in a row 2003-2008! I was right up front for this show!!!! I remember the mud being so thick..it was like quick sand! What a show :) Love me some Neal With Crazyhorse! I was in tears, as this was my grandfathers favorite band...The way they came out Jamming out...i'll never forget this, as long as i live. "Keep On Rockin' In The Free World," was friggin Amazing to hear live. Loved every minute of this set :) I will hold the memory of all 5 bonnaroo's with me, as I have seen some amazing acts there in Ol' Manchester TN

[@gradyhensley5960]

Agree about the audio quality. Note that the stereo mix is reversed -- Neil's guitar on the left side.

I think we made it to the front at this show. I've seen Neil &CH four times but this was the absolute best.

I remember this show was my 'selling point.' Bonnaroo was young back then, only year two... I was only 20. Holy shit was this a good show, and I was in the front........

I found it after the show and screamed "Who's shirt is this?!" several times until someone I couldn't see shouted from afar, "It's your's man!". I gave up after that and just kept it, cuz I did want that shirt, but felt like I needed to try and find the owner before I could chalk it up as a ground score, lol...
