Magnetic Neil The music is the same great Neil folk rock. The CD is rather dark, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. I like to see who is playing the music! Brings back the hippie days!.
At Last!
After The Goldrush
was my personal favorite and I was not a huge fan of the orchestral sounds on Harvest, though the songwriting and melodies were excellent. Neil Young was such a huge influence on me as a youth.
Point here is. . . I also owned a double-vinyl bootleg copy of a live performance which pretty much has the same playlist as Massey Hall.
I treasured it for years and still have it. However, the sound quality was
nowhere near the Massey Hall quality. This is a true nugget of pure gold!
It's my new treasure.
Good!
Much better than all the bootlegs floating around for the past 25+ years. Good performance and sound.
The Dream is Real!
Not much to say, music is pretty personal. . but this CD/DVD set is AWESOME. I'm not usually to into Music DVDs unless they're documentaries and it helps if they have a blues player. This DVD though is worth it, the mastering is very artistic and the sound quality it phenomenal for a live recording. There is a lot more than nostalgia here. Neil released a lot of love into the world not just music, I just want to say thanks for both!.
A CLASSIC
This is the Neil Young I like the best, every song is excellent. I have had this one since it first came out, what a classic. All the songs he chose for this show are to me his best at that time, his guitar skills are at there peak on the acoustic. His voice is also strong and clear, I can't get enough of this set. I hope he has more stuff like this to release for us, This is a must have anyway you look at it. If you are a Neil Young fan don't miss this one, plus the sound quality is top notch for the time period.
