Recent concerts in the USA have been extremely well received with Young having delighted fans by playing old favourites like “Cortez the Killer” and “Alabama”.

Young’s career started with Buffalo Springfield before he began a long-running solo career, producing such classic albums as Harvest, After the Goldrush and On the Beach.
