Overview

• On July 1 at Groningen’s Drafbaan Stadspark, Young and the Chrome Hearts performed “Ambulance Blues” live together for the first time.
• The nine-minute deep cut from 1974’s On the Beach received only its third full-band rendition ever, following performances with R.E.M. in 1998 and Promise of the Real in 2016.
• Young prefaced the song with the quip “I haven’t played this in like 100 years,” highlighting its rarity beyond solo acoustic shows.
• He largely bypassed material from his new album Talkin’ To The Trees in favor of classics such as “Old Man,” “Like a Hurricane” and other fan favorites.
• After wrapping Europe in Paris on July 13, Young will begin North American outdoor dates on August 8, culminating at Farm Aid’s 40th anniversary in Minneapolis on September 20.
