Full Show Friday | Neil Young & Crazy Horse At Bonnaroo 2003

With the festival currently in full swing in Manchester, Tennessee, today we’re looking back at just the second edition of Bonnaroo, held June 13 -15, 2003 and featuring an extraordinary headlining set from Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Neil and his longtime backing band set off on the Greendale Tour just about a week prior to their Bonnaroo visit. Over the course of the 43-show tour, the legendary rockers started each gig with a complete performance of the Greendale rock opera, with few exceptions. However, their Bonnaroo set quickly proved to be a major exception.
Young decided against using the bulk of his Bonnaroo set for Greendale and instead laid down exemplary versions of 12 fan-favorites from his back catalog. Highlights included the 20-minute “Love To Burn” opener, a raucous “Cortez The Killer” and a jam-fueled “Down By The River.”
Put aside two hours and 20 minutes of your day and get locked in with Neil and The Horse down on The Farm:
