Neil Young in Halifax I was getting ready for school one morning when my father said that my cousin Jennifer was on the phone and she wanted to know if I wanted a ticket to the Neil Young concert coming up in Halifax. I said I did and I kind of forgot about it. It was Halloween night and I was listening to an old Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young album when I looked at the release date when I realized that in a mere five days I was going to witness a legend in his finest form. Some say the Neil Young is playing the finest guitar of his life these days. Some people say that he's just an old man who can't sing, never could sing and should have retired a long time ago. I on the other hand see him differently. He is man who doesn't care about his appearance, doesn't care about what other people think about him. He is an entertainer. He is a healer. He is a Canadian. He is a man. When I picture myself at fifty I picture myself like him. We left for the concert on Tuesday morning and we arrived in the city at about noon. My uncle drove me and my cousin Edward up. We bummed around the city for a while and then we went to Jen's place where we were staying. There were a few other people from Inverness staying there as well. My uncle, Edward and I left for the concert at around quarter to seven. We kind of got lost. We got to the show at around seven thirty. While we were in line waiting to get in I could here the band that was performing. It was then that I realized what I was about to experience. I stumbled to my seat, half looking a my feet, half looking at the band on stage. I can't remember their name but they were good. As soon as we sat down the band ended their set and the lights came on. Then we just sat their for a while and I saw a lot of people that I knew from Mabou. The lights went out and the place started to rumble with excitement. Moist came out on stage and started playing their set. When the band started to play Push I ran down to the front along with just about everyone else. But we were pushed back by the security. So we just sat in our seats for the rest of their set. The lights came back on and their were a bunch of guys on stage who were
After the long wait to get in you found your seat and waited for the group who was first. You would figure that know one would be doing any drugs due to the search before you got in there, but I was wrong not even ten minutes before the show you could smell the pot in the air. That was one of the few things wrong with this wild and crazy concert. After it was over that was all you smelled like and you were feeling the contact buzz as it felt like things were moving in slow motion.
(Behind the limo shots) I think I got out on the street about 12:15 or 12:20 - something along there.
and end on Monday, August 18. The promoters had printed up 60,000 tickets to be sold making it the biggest concert event of it’s time. There was very little promotion of it
Sure, it was crowded: it was the only gig in town. I look at the yellow Franciscan statue, gaily painted, redolent of Mexico. As I glance back, the piano player has changed his tune and is swaying his head to something like Brubeck-does-Muzak. Exiting, I see the line is still wrapped around the corner. The rain has stopped, and four more people are trudging up the hill to get in line. Linus had finished his food before me, it seems, and is swapping three cigarettes for a quarter. He starts up again:

The show opening was not your normal “seating lights off, stage lights on, start the show”...
They started busting out a bunch of rap songs for an hour , even though it was kind of a long time everybody was still having a good time. A lot of celebrities showed up it was very packed. It was on live tv and everything it was a pretty
Once I made it through the security check, I then took the elevators up to the will call window to pick up my tickets. Then proceeded towards the line to get my

Both times he did not disappoint so I entered the Rickshaw Stop with high expectations. I sat there patiently scanning the room until the show started. Examining the crowd has got to be one of the most interesting parts of attending concerts. Saying nothing, they immediately jump right into their first song. The setlist of all the bands for that night has currently escaped my mind.
It was June 24th I was so filled with excitement and joy as I waited
It started off with Sabrina Carpenter, the girl plays Maya on “Girl Meets World”. Shortly after Sabrina’s performance, Jacob Whitesides took the stage. He sung a few songs and soon exited the stage as well. Jack and Jack came up, and then sing a few songs of theirs, in addition to a never before heard song that they performed. R5 appeared soon after, and played several songs, some heavy-metal. It was really awesome. Then it was Fifth Harmony. But before they got on stage, they made a grand entrance on the North side of the stadium where people entered. I was in the front of everyone, making a pathway for them. Meanwhile, security was holding people off. I was so close to them, I could have literally touched them. Except for the fact that there was a security guard standing right in front of me and surrounding Fifth Harmony. They got on stage, and sang and danced for an hour straight. It was pretty
It was no later than we went to bed and it was soon Saturday morning and we were up and ready for the day. My mom and I headed into the small town to see what they had and afterward to the big city. After we
