Nietzsches was packed to the brim last night for their Neil Young Tribute show, Tonight's The Night, presented by the fine folks at the Good Neighborhood with benefits going towards Target Cancer.  We were able to get there just in time for Bearhunter's set, which covered "Cortez the Killer" and my personal favorite track from Young's On The Beach album "Walk On".


After the Albrights finished up their acoustic set up front, jam band Free Henry! took the stage to play their two songs, including "Down by the River".  If that seems like a short set, it wasn't as the band jammed out each song to the fullest extent.


We had to squeeze our way upfront to catch our friends Brad Gower and Evan Kaderbeck of Ramforinkus and the rest of the guys from the Brian DeAngelo Jazz trio, who had just finished up a set at Merge earlier in the night.  Their passionate takes of "Cinnamon Girl", "Cowgirl in the Sand", "Ohio", and even a sneaky crowd pleasing cover of the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" put the finishing touches on a great night of music.



Judging by the size of the crowd, Target Cancer should be receiving a nice donation towards their efforts to find cures for rare cancers.  Tonight was the first Neil Young Tribute put on at Nietzsches, and judging by the turnout, it will not be the last.
