The Neil Young Trunk Show Opens in Saskatoon!

We know this is somewhat off-topic, given the general theme of our website and blog, but we wanted to push out our adoration for Neil Young and even more so for Saskatoon’s Broadway Theatre for boldly going where no other Saskatoon theatre generally goes. In this case, for showing an epic documentary about Neil Young’s epic 2007 performance “Chrome Dreams II performance” in Philly’s Tower Theatre. We had the privilege to catch old shakes perform in both Regina and Saskatoon and can vouch that this documentary is worth watching! Thanks again Broadway Theatre for giving us so much more than what CGI driven no-plots ever could

The Neil Young Trunk Show can be considered a “sequel” to Demme’s “Neil Young: Heart of Gold”. This time he gives us raw concert footage from Young’s 2007 Chrome Dreams II tour performances at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pa. Word is that Young and Demme are looking to make this series into a trilogy and a third film will soon follow. If you’ve read this far, you’re a fan of Young, Demme or both – so don’t miss this one.

Young’s work is characterized by his deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and signature tenor singing voice. His clawhammer acoustic guitar style and often idiosyncratic electric guitar soloing are the defining characteristics of a sometimes ragged, sometimes melodic sound.
