With the New Year came the delivery of an unmastered, unsequenced advance copy of the next release from the Neil Young Archive series. Live at Massey Hall is an incredibly well-recorded document of Neil's show at the venerable Toronto venue on January 19, 1971. What makes this album an important historical document is that it features many of the songs that would end up on Harvest a year later.
The show features Neil solo (accompanying himself on guitar and piano) during the After the Goldrush tour. Neil's between song banter also give this record historical perspective as he talks about being asked to tape Johnny Cash's TV show and working with Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor (both of whom would later turn up on Harvest).
The album is scheduled for release in March. I'll post more information as it becomes available.
