Neil Young and Crazy Horse Launch Tour With New Tunes in Albuquerque
Ferocious two-hour set features classics and previously unheard tracks from Young’s next LP

The official T-shirt of Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s 2012 American tour has a very simple message on it: “Equal parts past, present and future.” It’s not just an empty slogan. Throughout the course of a blazing two-hour-plus show at Albuquerque’s Hard Rock Pavilion, Neil and the Horse dipped deep into their catalog of classics, but gave almost equal time to material from Young’s next album with Crazy Horse, supposedly due on shelves later this year. The only real misnomer is the word “present.” Only a single song was played from their new folk covers disc, Americana.
