Neil Young and his band, Crazy Horse, played a special private concert at The Rivoli in Toronto to celebrate Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss’ 50th birthday. The rock legend performed his 1990 album Ragged Glory in full—only the second time he has ever done this live.

With just 200 guests in attendance, the atmosphere was electric. Fans from Neil Young’s website, Thrasher’s Wheat, confirmed that he played nearly every song from the album, except Mother Earth. He closed the show with classics like Cinnamon Girl and Rockin’ In The Free World.

The night also featured rare live performances of White Line, Over and Over, and Farmer John—songs he hadn’t played since 1976 and 2012. Canadian rock band the Arkells also performed, with Young taking the stage before them.

This wasn’t Young’s first private concert—he previously played a private event in Paris for a finance executive. Interestingly, his song This Note’s For You criticizes corporate influence in music, a stance he has mostly maintained even after selling 50% of his song catalog in 2021.

The event also sparked some discussion due to Canada Goose’s past controversy with PETA over its use of coyote fur, a practice the company ended in 2021.

Now, Young is preparing for his Love Earth tour after a three-year break from touring. With a focus on outdoor venues, fans are eager to see whether he’ll perform solo or reunite with Crazy Horse or Promise of the Real.

Tyler was shattered. With a trembling voice, he stood under the spotlight, offering condolences to every grieving parent. He donated a significant sum to the relief fund and pledged all proceeds from his next show to the victims’ families.
