Neil Young Live At Massey Hall 1971 CD

List All Reviews

 One of the best, thanks Neil
When I was 16 I bought a bootleg, Neil Young, Live on Sugar Mountain, record on the '71 tour. The year, 1972. I still have that LP, enjoyed it all my life, and love it to this day. So when I saw this recording being released today I knew I had to buy it. With great anticipation I brought home the CD/DVD. I have to tell you I watched the DVD first and it totally exceeded my expectations. It was like my long loved bootleg came to life in a way I could never know. I'm a big Neil Young fan and can tell you this is special. All the great songs are here, Old Man, Tell Me Why, Needle and the Damage Done, performed by a young Neil in his prime. You will never regret buying this. Get the DVD/CD, it's worth it. Enjoy

 A Treasure
I knew I would buy this disc, even after the somewhat disappointing first release in the series. I played the DVD version first as well as the reviewer below and was fascinated by the sight and sound of this dated recording. If you want just Neil, with either his guitar or piano do not pass up on this one. There are songs played here that had not been recorded as yet in the studio and they are absolute treasures to hear. You are right there as a witness to the raw talent of the artist as he premiere's these clssic songs. As well we get acoustic versions of "Cowgirl in the Sand" "Down by the River" and "Ohio". The last treasure is found in the packaging which announces that there will be an 8 disc box set coming out this year archiving 1962 - 1971. Thanks for your time.

 Like a slow burning candle
A warm c.d from one of the most genuine singer-songwriters of the last thirty- plus years. Neil has always been true to his art and has never waverd into the commerical market.His voice travels inside of you like an unfolding of a rose petal. Thanks Neil!

 Excellent recording
Very clean, very good recording. Even though many of the songs are quiet guitar strums, the sound is 100% clean. But hey CD Universe, your entire song list is incorrect - none of this is with Crazy Horse. It is just Neil all alone, with acoustic guitar, some harmonica, and a few songs at the piano. Some of these songs I had never heard before - because Journey Through the Past and Time Fades Away have been out of print for decades. Dance Dance Dance is an early version of Love Is a Rose - same hum along melody. Cowgirl in the Sand and Down by the River are radically different - I only know those 2 songs in their fuzzy electric versions with Crazy Horse. Here they just have acoustic guitar. Includes several of Neil's most well known songs - there's a portion of Heart of Gold, and Old Man, Helpless, Needle and the Damage Done, Ohio, and I Am a Child. The DVD sounds even better than the CD - overall just a great package from Neil. I can't wait for more from Neil's archive series.
