Live at Massey Hall (CD/DVD)
Live at Massey Hall (CD/DVD) One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the rock era. Solo. Acoustic. January 19, 1971. Live At Massey Hall, the legendary concert from Neil Young, is finally officially released, and in highresolution stereo, in this CD+DVD package (also as a solo CD). The acclaimed Toronto performance features classics “Old Man” and, in a suite, “A Man Needs A Maid” and “Heart Of Gold” (before they were recorded for Harvest) along with some of his most popular songs (”Cowgirl In The Sand,” “Ohio”) as well as the most obscure (”Bad Fog Of Loneliness”). Live At Massey Hall is a newly mined rock gem.
Customer Review: This has been sitting around for 35 years unreleased???
If you’re any kind of Neil Young fan, you need to buy this now. Honestly, this is the best live Neil album there is, including Live Rust, imho. I was totally blown away; the sound quality is gorgeous, rich and full; Neil’s singing and playing are absolutely top notch; there are several unreleased great songs; the other hits are performed so well. A couple of favorites: the solo acoustic Cowgirl in the Sand sounds like a totally new song, and Bad Fog of Loneliness, previously unreleased to my knowledge. The chit chat between songs will get old after the third listen, it’s true. Also, the DVD concert footage is forgettable but the extras are nice. I read somewhere that his producer wanted this to be released instead of Harvest (he was just about to record Harvest, and many of the songs here are new to the audience), and that Neil now thinks that would have been a good idea. That’s how good this is! Buy it now.
