Neil Young closes Isle Of Wight Festival by covering The Beatles

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

I wasn't very familiar with his material but thought it was an enjoyable set, particularly the songs I did know like Heart of Gold and Rockin' in the Free World. However, I think it would have been better to have Neil Young followed by Pixies rather than the other way around. Pixies absolutely rocked and really got the crowd going and, whilst very good, it didn't feel like Young's performance maintained that level of atmosphere and excitement.
