A timeless and great concert

The concert was published here Neil Young 36 years ago in Toronto. Well it is now there, a shame that it took so long. The CD has a large number of impressive moments. Not only the artistic maturity, which appears in this for Youngs career relatively early document and the perfection of the only solo presented acoustic performances, but also the serene brilliance with which he was able to enchant his audience January 19, 1971 necessary, a reverent respect in front of him as a songwriter and performer from. Imagine that a musician who had just released two solo LPs and an album with Crazy Horse to his membership in Buffalo Springfield and the admittedly acclaimed guest appearance at the hippiesken Crosby, Stills & Nash times, sets in front of the audience and it mainly unreleased songs faced because of the 17 songs that are now published as an extract of the concert, were at that time at least nine have not yet been published (and two of them still do not - Bad Fog Of Loneliness and Dance Dance Dance). Apparently, Young had already at that time written enough songs for five or six more albums and presented them as a young man with a really old-age wisdom reserved for serenity and sovereignty, which singles out the concert from all his later concerts releases, such as compared with its 1993's MTV unplugged CD that falls here by far. He sings on the journey back in time for his return to Canada (causing what touchingly spontaneous applause - Journey Through The Past) and changes in the songs from guitar to piano and back. Great in its simple perfection also the pieces that he published shortly afterwards on Harvest (messed with orchestral arrangement): 'Man Needs A Maid and There's A World. Finally found at Live At Massey Hall authentic versions of these songs. Alone it is worth it to have the CD. In a label on the wrapper of the cardboard cover up Young speaks up. His producer David Briggs have Live At Massey then want to publish as his next LP after After The Gold Rush, but Young chose instead the recordings for Harvest and said today after knowing By listening to the old tapes, why Briggs wanted. Five points for this disk, which should be there not only for young fans.
