Yep, Neil Young's display was awesome, the engine had a camera in it which was connected to the jumbo tron screen outside. I heard he also would set it up at one of his concerts.  That weekend Neil signed a tee shirt my son was wearing.

Funny story regarding signatures at that event.....

I forget if it was the VHS video that they had for sale or maybe a Lionel catalog, but my dad got into the idea of having Neil sign something from the meet. 

So he sees a gentleman dressed in railroad overalls operating the layout and asks him to sign.  The man replied that he would sign it if he liked, but his name was Larry!  He then pointed out where Neil was standing.

BTW, while I did not attend any concerts, I believe that was the whole premise of the layout was for his tour with his group HORDE at the time.  I don't know how many concerts there were or if the layout went to all of them or just certain ones.  That's also what led to the HORDE boxcar that you still see sometimes.
