Two days after Chrome Dreams II hits record stores, Neil Young will embark on a twenty-date North American tour that kicks off October 18th in Boise and ends December 13th in New York City. The musicians who played on the album — Ben Keith (pedal steel, dobro), Ralph Molina (drums) and Rick Rosas (bass) — will also comprise Young’s touring band, and his wife, Pegi, will serve as the opening act. The trek includes two nights at Toronto’s Massey Hall, the site where Young recorded his acclaimed 1971 solo album Live at Massey Hall. A few weeks ago a Ticketmaster goof revealed Young will play a October 22nd gig in Portland, which is indeed a scheduled date on the tour. Keep reading for the full tour dates:
