Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Patti Smith brought noise and inspiration to Philly (photos, review, setlists)

It’s quite simple, actually; imagination and inspiration go hand in hand. If you don’t use the one, you lose the other. So when folks wonder what goads on veteran rockers like Neil Young (67 years old, 52 years making music) and Patti Smith (65 years old, 41 years making music), this is precisely where they should look.

With their show launching at the Wells Fargo Center in a little less than 12 hours, Neil Young and Crazy Horse just announced another area appearance – this one a benefit for The American Red Cross’ Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. They’ll play at the Borgata Casino and Spa in Atlantic City on Friday, December 6, and tickets go on sale tomorrow, November 30, at noon. This is a significantly smaller venue than the Wells Fargo – 2,400 capacity, as compared to 19,500 capacity – so it will sure to be an up-close and intimate evening, for a good cause. Tickets and more information will be available here.
