The time that I interloped with some Neil Young at a Patti Smith gig

Postby GoogaMooga » 04 May 2022, 15:33

It was Patti Smith and band, at a small venue in Copenhagen, back in 2003 or 2012, I don't remember exactly. I was a little bit bored, so I cheered them on, just to get into the spirit of things. Then I remembered a shout-out that I'd heard on "Live Rust" or something, a Neil Young live album where they went: "road-eyes!" Not roadies, but road-eyes. So I shouted "road-eyes!" several times, along with the usual cheering, and then between two songs, Patti said to us: "We've been on the road for quite a while now and seen many people. But you guys, you're something else again!"

So it was Live Rust, then? That would have been late 70s, I think.
