Neil Young at Massey Hall

Anyone hear this yet? It has been a good long while since I have been so moved by a recording. This is the second installment from the Neil Young archives cut at Massey Hall (Canada's "Carnegie Hall") between "After the Gold Rush" and "Harvest". Neil plays mostly "new" material off "Harvest". Very good sound given the situation but more importantly phenomenal playing and, yes, singing by Neil in the prime of his life. Just had to share...if you don't have it, buy it--if you are a fan you won't be disappointed.

Chris,
Look on the liner notes it says Vinyl Photo: Joel Bernstein.
Neil is an advocate of Vinyl so I'm sure it is available. Try Amazon U.K.
I just love this Cd the sound is so lush. I wonder if someone has heard it on a HDCD player yet. When the crowd erupted after Ohio it brought back so many memories of what the country was going through in 1971.
If your a fan this is a must have,invite Neil into your living room.

cmrctrader,
Try the first Hot Tuna album. I used to listen to this in High school,a much appreciated endeavor. I believe they now have an expanded version. It's all acoustic and the sound is great.

Old Man was released on "After the Goldrush" and if you read the sticker on the outside of the Cd Neil states that he was urged by an individual in the industry to release this recording BEFORE Harvest but lamented not to. Upon hearing these tapes he felt he had made a huge mistake in not listening to this individual and dedicated the recording to him.

Yeah and to think at this stage of his life he had so many unanswered questions about where his life and career would take him.
