Neil Young at Massey Hall

Great CD. I had no interest in the combination set with the DVD included, but you may. The sound on the CD is very good - the performance and the music are sublime. You won't regret buying this album.

Regards,

I totally agree, this cd is sublime. It takes us back to a time when a lone artist and his guitar was all that was required for a great event. No sound machines, drum machines, fancy light shows or pyrotechnical fire balls, just a man and his words and music. For once, they let the tape recorder roll and what we hear is pretty much what happened, including remarks of all kinds, Neil Young tuning his guitar between songs, and incredible you-are-there sonics. Not saying it's the best sound, but it is very, very good and captures the warmth and wit of Young's concert. A must have for Neil Young fans, fans of folk music, borderline country music, and just plain lovers of acoustic guitar impeccably picked and strummed. And of course, Young's haunting vocals, in his prime, as previously stated. I grew up in Toronto, and went by Massey Hall so many times, walking under this big and heavy dark sign, I regret missing this one. Some of the nicer moments in the concert - ''heart of gold'', yet unreleased back then, but part of another song in the cd - Young telling a photographer not to take photos that will take his concentration away - and a very funny line ''...I live on a ranch now, lucky me '' in a somewhat satirical voice. Get this cd now, it's pure pleasure. When you think he was all of only 25 years of age at the time of this concert, it is amazing to witness such confidence and wisdom so early in his carreer and at such a young age.
Enjoy!

Just got this on Cd. I totally agree with the above..... Does anyone know if it's available on LP (or are they planning to release it?).

What a great performance, OLD MAN like you've never heard.
Very good indeed.

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.
