Overview

• Young’s headline set featured no fireworks, backing tracks, or special effects, spotlighting live musicianship over spectacle.
• The Chrome Hearts, with veteran organist Spooner Oldham replacing Crazy Horse, powered the set’s blend of tender acoustic numbers and ferocious electric jams.
• Critics hailed the performance as an authentic showcase of classic rock, praising renditions of songs from “Sugar Mountain” to “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
• Despite critical acclaim, audience numbers were thinner than those for pop acts such as Charli XCX and Doechii.
