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.

Just brought this home. Holy crap. It's amazing. I couldn't believe the quality of the sound. Real quiet background, Neil was in my living room. I'm sure my new-to-me Ayre CX-7e had a little to do with it!

I listened to it again the other day and could do without the loud audience but Neil is great. I listened with someone who does not like him and she even thought it was good.

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.

It looks like Classic Records will be releasing a 200 gram LP version of this recording. Excellent!
