Neil Young closes Isle Of Wight Festival by covering The Beatles

He plays an epic set in front of thousands of ecstatic fans

Neil Young also played "Spirit Road" from the 2007 album "Chrome Dreams II". This was the track that he said he had written recently.It was not an empty arena, but many folk left before and during the set. Few people knew who Neil Young was, other than that he was a "legend". Many people gave up after the first few acoustic songs, but may have stayed if they had known what the electric set was to be like. I saw NY twice last year, at Hammersmith (V Good), and at the Hop Farm (stunningly brilliant). Each time the audience was made up of NY fans. Festivals such as the IOW are not always like that. A lesson for all festival performers.
