Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Neil Young has had a remarkably busy week marked by both huge headlines and some behind-the-scenes turbulence. Fresh off his triumphant return to the stage, Young and his latest band, The Chrome Hearts, played the much-anticipated Love Earth World Tour at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, on September 12, drawing a capacity crowd and delivering a set packed with classics like Heart of Gold, Harvest Moon, and Rockin’ in the Free World along with new material. The Chrome Hearts lineup features longtime allies Spooner Oldham, Micah Nelson, Corey McCormick, and Anthony LoGerfo. Ticket brokers and radio stations hailed this show as one of the hottest tickets of the season, and the buzz continues in anticipation of their next stop at L.A.’s legendary Hollywood Bowl on September 15.
Social media was ablaze with fan-shot videos and photos from the Shoreline show, with many celebrating Young’s raw energy and the chemistry of his new ensemble, while others shared setlists and reviews in real time. Meanwhile, Neil Young trended on music forums and playlist rotation as fans and newcomers alike rediscovered his iconic catalog in anticipation of the tour.
But it hasn’t all been music and adoration. There is a legal storm brewing, as Billboard reported Young was slapped with a lawsuit over his band’s name, Chrome Hearts, by the luxury fashion brand that claims decades-long ownership of the trademark. Despite attempts at a quiet resolution earlier in the summer, the apparel company is now moving forward with a formal complaint to protect its intellectual property. Neither Young’s camp nor Chrome Hearts’ representatives have publicly commented since the suit was filed, leaving fans in a state of speculation about whether the band might have to rebrand.
Amid the live excitement and legal friction, Young also managed to fuel collector mania with the announcement of four classic albums being reissued as part of his Official Release Series. On September 12, Reprise Records confirmed the upcoming October boxed set featuring Harvest Moon, Unplugged, Sleeps With Angels, and Mirror Ball, remastered from the analog tapes and featuring original artwork. Music blogs and vintage vinyl groups were quick to spotlight this news for its significance, especially with the insider detail that four Mirror Ball tracks have been specially remixed to mark the release.
Adding to the Neil Young fever, a high-profile tribute concert in Adelaide hit the headlines, demonstrating the Canadian singer-songwriter’s continued influence on several generations and genres, from folk to grunge. Multiple artists gave stirring renditions of Young’s best-known works, further cementing his reputation as a musical force.
So within just these few days, Neil Young reclaims his space on the cultural map: celebrated by audiences old and new, embroiled in a trademark fight that may decide the future branding of his band, and proving his lasting significance through fresh releases and tribute events that show his legacy is nowhere near finished.
