It wasn’t a greatest hits show per se. Neil Young doesn’t really traffic in ‘hits.
But by and large, the show was all about the music, man. So much so that Young chose to not use the video screens inside the pavilion, whose 7000 seats were filled. Or even on the less packed lawn, where the sound mix was clearer and a view across of the Philadelphia skyline was available to those at the very top of the hill.
