Neil Young & Promise Of The Real Play ‘Cortez The Killer’ Encore In Spain

At the June 15 stop on Neil Young and Promise of The Real‘s current European Tour, the legendary rocker treated fans in Lyon, France to his first “Cortez The Killer” encore in three years. A few days later, while in Spain on June 20, Young and the band whose membership includes Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson delivered another “Cortez The Killer” encore. High quality, audience-shot footage of the 17-minute “Cortez” finale has surfaced.

Like other tour stops, Young’s appearance at Poble Espanyol in Barcelona, Spain began with a solo acoustic set during which he played “After The Gold Rush,” “Heart Of Gold,” “Comes A Time,” “The Needle And The Damage Done” and “Mother Earth.” After being joined by POTR for “Out On The Weekend,” the rest of the main set showcased favorites such as “Alabama,” “Words (Between the Lines of Age),” and the set closing “Rockin’ In The Free World” as well as lesser-played selections like “Revolution Blues” and “Vampire Blues.”

Video of the final song of the night was captured by Alfonso Outeiriño. Watch “Cortez The Killer” here:
