It appears the Drones are opening the shows now too. Awesome!
They deserve it for being so good.
So it appears that The Drones were only supposed to do 1 gig with NY&CH but Neil liked them so much they're doing the rest of the Australian tour plus going to New Zealand too. Nice one.

Wow. That has to be the ultimate dream come true for them.

That's great!
Some band called Husky supported here. I stayed in the bar.
Yeah, Husky seem pretty bland from what I've heard.

Great moment during Dangerbird (I think) - Neil wanders over to groove with Billy, Billy asks ''what song's next?'' Neil replies ''not sure yet'' and wanders away.

They dropped in Welfare Mothers tonight. Awesome. That Walk Like A Giant outro was mind blowing. More comments in the morning

When we saw them in Central Park, after about 4 minutes of the outro, my wife yelled "enough already!!!" in the same way she would scold the dog for playing too long with a squeaky toy. I'm pretty sure Neil accomplished his goal.
Last night's setlist while we wait with bated breath for Fuzzcharger's detailed report.

2013-03-15, Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia w/ Crazy Horse
1. Powderfinger 2. Love To Burn 3. Born In Ontario 4. Walk Like A Giant 5. Hole In The Sky 6. Heart Of Gold 7. Twisted Road 8. Singer Without A Song 9. Ramada Inn 10. Cinnamon Girl 11.

Last night's gig at Rod Laver was amazing. The band tore the roof off the Arena.
The Drones are the best support band I've ever witnessed. Such a powerful band. The greatest Aussie band going around.
30 minutes after the drones packed up and left the lights went down the roadies did their thing with the huge microphone and speaker stacks. Powderfinger was a surprising opener but was good to hear something different open the show. Such a killer song still. Love to Burn was awesome although the first chorus featured mistakes from all band members. Crazy Horse stuffed up their bit and Neil sang the chorus wrong but it didn't matter because it was loud and ferocious. I love the lyrics in that tune. Walk like a giant was insane. My gf who was seeing her first Neil show couldn't take it and had her hands over her ears. I had a smile from ear to ear. The acoustic section was a drag I got to say and went on a bit too long. Ramada Inn was a guitar-orgasm for 17 minutes. It was the highlight of the night. Already a classic- Neil and Poncho left nothing on the stage for this one. The run of Cortez the Killer, Prisoners of rock n roll, welfare mothers, sedan delivery and Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) was just the best 40 minutes of music I have ever witnessed. Glad to say I knew all the words to Sedan Delivery and sang them loud as hell. Encores included a furious Mr Soul with an awesome charged up ending and Roll another number completed what was a memorable night! Worth every cent.
