Yesterday I saw an organizator of the Brescia Summer Festival,
and he said that Neil maybe will perform in July, but not on the 6th,
because that day is Mark Knopfler's. Neil would be in the days after...

Subject: Japan virtually confirmed
Today I've just heard from Japanese Promoter SMASH
that Neil is confirmed for
Fuji Rock Festival,
for July 28. An official anouncement will be released on 03/26 in Japan.

From: Hiro Nishiyama <hhiirroo@tkb.att.ne.jp>
Subject: How likely Japan?
Yes, it's more than a rumor! Fuji Rock Festival (since 1997) is the biggest summer rock fest in Japan. In past years, along with many Japanese bands, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, Iggy Pop, Bjork, Rollins Band, Phish, ZZ Top, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave and many many more US & Euro musicians have played there.
The boss of the SMASH corporation (the promoter) has already announced half-officially about "The old horse-master from the land of maple" (not mentioned with a straight "NY&CH" yet). He also says "He said he would not appear as rumored at The Big Festival."
An official press release should be announced in a few days.
Oh please, European rusties, give us a chance for this time. We waited for 12 years to see Neil here, and 25 years for The Horse!!!

Since there's been confusion about this, here's info on the ticket sales for the Dave Matthews/Neil show in April from our local radio station, WWWV.

Subject: More on DMB Benefit
The Dave Mathews Band benefit show on April 21 is a sure thing. It has been reported in all the newspapers here, and the University has approved the concert. In fact, Dave approached the university last year about having a concert at Scott Stadium but it was nixed due to the expansion work that was currently going on at the stadium.
There has been no word as of yet about the appearance of Neil in the local press, or on the Dave Mathews Band website
By the way, DMB will be on Saturday Night Live this weekend, as well as on the Charlie Rose Show and Letterman on Monday night.

Subject: Neil at DMB benefit show?
Nancies.org, one of the big Dave Mathews Band fan sites, is reporting that “inside sources” tell them that Neil Young and Crazy Horse will be opening for DMB at the University of Virginia’s Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, VA. The proceeds from this show will benefit DMB’s charitable foundation. The people who run Nancies.org are from the Charlottesville area and are close with friends of the band, so that’s probably a pretty good source.
Tickets to the show go on sale next Saturday, March 3.

I've just got off the phone with the Robin Hood Foundation about the rumored show, and they say that the bill is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and NOT also Neil.

All tix would be purchased thru them, not thru Irving Plaza, only for those already in the membership.
Too bad, got my hopes up for a long minute there. Us East-coasters will just have to wait on this one.

"Rock icon Neil Young, who performs on the 20th, is the artist who has, so far, demanded the most dressing rooms for his crew. He asked for 7 dressing rooms to be reserved for his 25 companions. One room will be reserved so that he can receive visitors. Another one for him to be alone. Moreover, the order includes a room for Neil Young to work out, and another one for his dancers."Dancers? Maybe he borrowed them from Britney Spears, who performs on the festival January 18th...
The Warfield shows in San Francisco are now listed on Ticketmaster! They won't go on sale until noon. 2 tix per customer limit.

HyperRust Editor's note: direct links to the Ticketmaster purchase pages for the shows are on these pages: Wednesday and Thursday.
HyperRust Editor's note 2: There's a rumor that Neil is sick and that one or both of the shows may not happen. At this time, all I can recommend is to keep trying to see if tickets go onsale.
HyperRust Editor's note 3: The Wednesday night show is ON. See details here. Not sure about Thursday yet.
I did a little research this last few days and found that the Rock In Rio festival that Neil is playing on 1-21-2001, is being broadcast live on DirectV-Brazil. I checked with DirecTV-America and they informed me they didn't pick this up due to their belief there would not be sufficient interest on this side of the canal.
Also, the Rock In Rio site lists a radio feed site that may be broadcasting the entire festival live around the world.
Note that James Taylor will kick the festival off in just two days.

Subject: Yet more Europe rumors
As things stand, nothing has been confirmed about the Neilster coming over the big millpond, but my spies at the NME have confirmed that Neil 'has been approached' about the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany, Holland's Pink Pop and the All Tomorrow's Parties event in England. This wouldn't happen unless the Neilster let it be known that he was open to offers for the European summer festival season. As far as major acts are concerned, that covers June and July.
All Tomorrow's Parties probably comes too early in the year to be considered, so watch out for a possible UK one-dayer fest or two, like 1993's Glasgow and Finsbury Park dates with Booker T & the MGs.
Confirmed news has probably been delayed by the owner of the Glastonbury Festival pulling the plug on this year's festival. There'll be a lot of bands and promoters looking for alternative arrangements -- and the late confirmation of (and continuing uncertainty about) this year's Roskilde Festival, after last year's sad events.
Incidentally, Guns 'N' Roses have been confirmed at Rock Am Ring. Despite what we might think, they'll certainly top the bill on the last day. There's nothing the Germans like more than super-axe-metal-rockin-gruppen-musick. :-)
All in all, it's looking very positive, but we'll probably have to be patient and wait a while for confirmed dates. The big question is whether it'll be with CSNY (unlikely, and expensive, to take the show abroad) or The Horse...
