I’ll bet all those lucky bastards who got to their phones in time to get tickets for the Neil Young (with opener Wilco!) concert this Saturday are getting stoked. They ought to be anyway. You can always hope for scalpers, gang. And maybe the Neil Young post-party at the Seahorse with Gloryhound and the Skyhawks and The Stanfields might console those who didn’t get tickets. That is, if you have enough energy left after the concert the night before at the Cunard Centre: April Wine, Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Sam Roberts Band and 54-40. (8pm, $35/$40). It’s like the radio is coming to you.
