Speedy tells us:

"In addition to seeing Neil with CSNY in April 2000, I've seen him on 5 other occasions, 3 solo acoustic shows (1989, 1992 and 199), and 2 concerts with Crazy Horse, in Godfather of Grunge mode in 1991 and a presentation of Greendale in 2004. You never quite knew what you would get when you went to see Mr. Young.

Speaking of Crazy Horse, in 1996, Neil Young reunited with on again, off again backing band to record the album Broken Arrow. Filled with hard edged tunes featuring extended jams, Broken Arrow was another in a string of albums that featured Neil’s electric side. In fact the only album in that decade that highlighted his acoustic folk tunes was Harvest Moon in 1992. 

Otherwise in the 1990’s, Neil was working with The Horse, Pearl Jam, and Sonic Youth to test just how loud he could play and how much feedback he could generate. Neil and Crazy Horse went on the road support of Broken Arrow including headlining the 1997 HORDE Tour, a fitting role for the man nicknamed the Godfather of Grunge. as noted above.
