I also wonder if it’s not as casual as you’d think? I mean I’m going specifically for Neil, and everything else is a bonus. Go how little this guy tours, I would be surprised if most VIP Thursday tickets were bought specifically for Neil and are ready and willing to embrace solo acoustic set, if that’s what it ends up being
Farm Aid last year was solo acoustic. Since this will probably be the same weekend that’s why I’m expecting that here unless we get word otherwise. And I agree if you’re VIP or right up front you’ll probably be okay.
I saw Neil do a solo show at the Fox in Detroit, and the crowd wasn’t library quiet but it was in the range of normal for a seated show. Neil got all mad about it though and it became “a thing.” No way this audience isn’t worse (as you’d expect at a fest). Maybe he just keeps it to 45 minutes like a Farm Aid set but then even the “real fans” will be unhappy
He's 78 years old. I'll be happy if he's standing up and can sing at all.

I mean getting lectured by Neil kind of a plus imo
We’ve probably collectively thought more about what Neil will do than Neil. I’m going in with no expectations other than that it won’t be a festival set loaded with hits- it’s not his thing. I read somewhere that he wants to focus on deeper tracks in upcoming shows FWIW.
We saw him in 2016 at Beale Street Music Festival and he started the show with a 36 (!) minute version of Down By the River! Memorable, at least. Late in the show it appeared someone came out to tell him they’re running out of time, and they wrapped it up.
Whatever the set is, we’ll be seeing a rock legend in an ever-rarer live performance and it’ll be worth the whole day.

The comment about deeper tracks was specific to that tour and I don’t think he’ll continue that, but I’m happy to be wrong. But, a 36 minute down by the river sounds ideal lol.
I could be wrong, but if it’s solo acoustic and it’s a festival closing set, I’d be shocked if we didn’t get atleast 8-9 of the songs we’d expect to get

I was at bsmf for this as well and have the (audio) recording if you are interested in having a copy. Just let me know.
I’m wondering about walking logistics since we booked a hotel downtown. I’ve read about Uber/Lyft being a challenge, which is no surprise I’ve been to Boston Calling. We’ve thought about just walking a mile or so out and then calling. Is that a reasonable expectation or would snagging a shuttle pass to the downtown area really be worth it for the ~$45/person/day? There’s two of us so I can’t imagine an Uber being $90+/day.
