Neil Young Revisits Vintage Toronto Gig
January 17, 2007, 1:10 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
On the heels of the first release from his Archives Performance series last fall, Neil Young will unveil another vintage concert on March 13 via Reprise. "Live at Massey Hall" was taped Jan. 19, 1971, at the Toronto venue and finds Young performing solo.
Beyond favorites such as "Don't Let It Bring You Down," "I Am a Child," "Ohio" and "Down by the River," Young debuted material that wound up appearing on his next studio album, "Harvest." Among those songs were "The Needle and the Damage Done," "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold," the only No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit of his career.
Young claims producer David Briggs urged him to release the Massey Hall concert instead of the studio version of "Harvest," a suggestion he didn't follow. "I was very excited about the takes we got on 'Harvest,' and wanted 'Harvest' out," Young says. "David disagreed. As I listen to this today, I can see why."
In related news, Reprise has confirmed a fall release for "Archives Volume I," a vault-clearing project Young has been promising for decades. The collection will comprise 8 CDs and 2 DVDs full of previously unreleased studio and live recordings as well as concert footage and memorabilia.

The article doesn't state which show is being released.
Neil performed 2 shows on this date. A soundboard copy of the 2nd show circulates (probably what you have, pdog), but according to Sugar Mountain, the 1st show is not is circulation. |

Looks like it's the second show.
Article mentions Down By The River, which, according to Sugar Mountain, wasn't played in the first show.

It's time for the Stones to embrace their back catalog like this. What you were doesn't take away from what you are. Do the modern day Stones think they are so much inferior to their former selves that they don't want to force the comparison? Is the back catalog their retirement fund?
Nothing like re-opening an old can of worms...say...who's better? Woody or Taylor? |

Fnally something good coming from the music industry, Niel Young is awesome. That vaults collection, we will actually be able to hear it and appreciate Neil wll he is still alive. Too many times this stuff doesn't come out unless the person dies. |
