Neil Young: Brixton Academy, London, 21st May
Tim Clifford, Rock's Backpages, June 2002
NEIL YOUNG'S in a pretty unassailable position these days: revered by everyone from fresh-faced teens to grizzled pensioners of the Woodstock generation, and free to follow his muse without undue interference (can you imagine a record company exec, telling him "You've reached that critical 40th album stage, Neil"? Thought not).
