Rating: - Neil at the Start
I've been a hardcore fan of Neil Young since about 1967, and always look for live, acoustic performances of his. True, he has disappointed me with some recordings over the decades, but that's the nature of art, no? Still, I've hung in there with him, and this album sums up why. My wife and I were lucky enough to see him in L.A. in 1972, and it stands as one of the, if not THE, best live show I've seen. This album from 1968 is unique for a few reasons: 1) it contains, as far as I know, the only commercially ... Read More
Rating: - Great show from Neils early career
I love this show.
The sound is a bit hissy but the performance is classic Neil Young.
The DVD has no extra video content but does contain a preview of the Archives set.
All we need now is to see it in the shops.
Rating: - The "V" in "DVD"
I'm stunned by all the negative reviews that Neil is "ripping people off" by including a DVD that doesn't have video. The clue train has left the station without you all. The "V" in "DVD" is for "versatile" (or so it was originally designated), not for "video." It was a "versatile" disc because the developers intended it to be used in many ways, and in many devices. You can use it to read and write data on your computer. Use it to play movies or video games. Or, as Neil has opted to do, give his fans a copy ... Read More
Rating: - A Must for Neil Fans
Plain and simple, this CD is a must have for the Neil Young fan because of the banter heard between songs. It makes for a fascinating listen, especially if you are knowledgeable about his career.
Rating: - the man now and then
Neil Young continually amazes and this recent release of archived material is spectacular. Of course long time fans have wondered about this concert for many years but the quality and the intimate nature give a rare insight into this talented man. Having had the privalege to see his most recent tour i can tell you he is better at age 63. The release of sugar mountain at canterbury house gives that rare glimpse at then and now and who he is. The only weird thing about this package is the DVD which is the cover ... Read More
