Neil Young - Carnegie Hall 1970 2xLP 1st Press Fantastic
These solo concerts are amazing ....Highly recomended Fantastic mastering and pressing, but moreover, the setlist is astonishing. By the age of 25 Neil had a striking set of songs, and he delivered them perfectly...
Maybe it's the best solo - live album I know by any artist...
Compared to "live at the cellar door" - this one leans more on acoustic guitar than piano, both are great, just a matter of your preference.
In September 2020, Young officially announced a new series of releases called the Official Bootleg Series. The original intent behind this series was to duplicate popular bootlegs, down to their original cover art, but upgrading the audio fidelity. However, the concept changed with the first officially announced entry, Carnegie Hall, which will take its audio from the December 4th, 1970 show as opposed to the heavily circulated December 5 midnight set.
On October 7, the first six entries of the Official Bootleg Series were announced, as well as that Niko Bolas will be helping Young in the production of these releases.
An article on the Neil Young Archives site announced a target release date of September 10, 2021. The first was released on October 1, 2021.
Official Bootleg Series 01:
- Carnegie Hall was officially released on October 1, 2021. It features all 23 songs recorded during the December 4, 1970 show as opposed to the heavily circulated December 5 midnight set.
Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter. After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, forming the folk rock group Buffalo Springfield. Since the beginning of his solo career, often backed by the band Crazy Horse, he released critically acclaimed albums such as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969), After the Gold Rush(1970), Harvest (1972), On the Beach(1974), and Rust Never Sleeps (1979). He was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with whom he recorded the chart-topping 1970 album Déjà Vu.
Young's guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature high tenor singing voice define his long career. He also plays piano and harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk, rock, country and other musical genres. His often distorted electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge" and led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam. More recently, he has been backed by Promise of the Real.
Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey", including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway(1982), Greendale (2003), CSNY/Déjà Vu(2008), and Harvest Time (2022). He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995).
Young has received multiple Grammy and Juno Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has inducted him twice: in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Young No. 30 on its list of the "250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".Young is also on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest musical artists, and 21 of his albums and singles have been certified gold or platinum in the U.S. Young was awarded the Order of Manitoba in 2006and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2009.
In the autumn of 1970, Young began a solo acoustic tour of North America, during which he played a variety of his Buffalo Springfield and CSNY songs on guitar and piano, along with material from his solo albums and several new songs. Some songs premiered by Young on the tour, like "Journey through the Past", would never find a home on a studio album, while other songs, like "See the Sky About to Rain", would only be released in coming years. Many gigs were sold out, including concerts at Carnegie Hall and a pair of acclaimed hometown shows at Toronto's Massey Hall, which were taped for a planned live album. The shows became legendary among Young fans, with Live at Massey Hall 1971 being released in 2007, and other shows as official bootlegs in 2021 and 2022, as a part of Young's Archive seriesprice rating
