concert-info:
here's an evening full of local artists celebrating Neil Youngs 80th Birthday that day.
We got some acoustic and some electric songs.
We got some great and some not that great songs.
We got some well known songs and some rarities.
And we got some fantastic and some strange versions of his songs.

My fave "things" that evening were:
Seething Floors playing a loud Crazy Horse-a-like set
captain Kennedy (performed by Martin Kaufmann) - a Neil Young-song with akkordion
cinnamon girl (performed by Die Kickers) - never heard a version of that like this before - awful and nice
like a hurricane (performed by Michael Dilly & Martin Kaufmann) - this is more Avantgarde (also his second song)
Hope you like it.
