Editor's Note: Readers under the age of 40 who are not either guitar geeks or Guitar Hero geeks can just skip to the next item. Amid the ballyhooed returns of Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty, Neil Young just keeps on going. He's coming to the Orpheum Dec. 2 and 3 - that's a Sunday and Monday - for shows behind his new "Chrome Dreams II" album. "Chrome Dreams I" was an album he made that never came out in the 1970s, although the songs all came out eventually on other albums, notably "American Stars and Bars." "Chrome Dreams II" features mostly new songs, a couple written and recorded years ago, and features Young with Ben Keith, Rick Rosas and Ralph Molina, who will also be his band for the tour. Wife Pegi Young, who put her own album out recently, will also be on hand, and the shows will feature both acoustic and electric sets.
Apparently Young, always anti-corporate, has been paying attention to what music-biz rebel Prince has been doing lately. Tic prices are high for Neil - $68.50-$158.50, but each pair of tickets comes with a bonus copy of the CD. They go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. The boilerplate about the CD follows, but first, check this out.
