I saw Neil Young play Harvest Moon in its entirety a few years back. This was six months before the album came out and you could have heard a pin drop for the entire show. In the end he finally did play some of his older stuff but the mood seemed to suggest that people were digging the unheard tunes better. I like being challenged and being allowed to hear new things. A few chestnuts at the end is always nice, but I don't think I'd criticize Van for shying away from the material. It's no mystery that he is an odd duck who is rather reluctant to be anyone's hero.
