Hi Everybody,
It has just been reported over at KLIZ's website by way of a Market Wire press release that Neil Young is now ready to release Live at Massey Hall on Reprise/Rhino. It is slated for a March 13th due date. The show is from Toronto's Massey Hall in January of 1971.
The story also had an update on the Archives Volume 1 release for the Fall. It is being described as an 8-CD + 2 DVD release.
Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to preordering the Massey Hall disc in what should only be a little while from now.

"I'm gonna sing mostly new songs tonight," Neil Young tells the rapt Massey Hall audience, "...I've written so many new ones that I can't think of anything else to do with them other than sing 'em." He steps to the mic unadorned, distant from CSNY's rippled harmonies or Crazy Horse's yowl, hypnotically nailing 17 tracks on this unreleased 1971 solo set. You hear him tower at vocal heights on the chorus for "Old Man" (then a debuted, brand-new song) and name-check Canada on "Journey to the Past" and North Ontario on "Helpless," much to the Toronto crowd's delight. The sound is impeccable, and the closeness to Young in this spare setting exhilarates--especially his vocal quavering in the high registers, his intricate guitar work, and an overall vibe that exceeds description. And the DVD: Here you catch Young in tightly framed, starkly-lit shots, flourishing in the early years of an unparalleled rock career. Not only that, you get commentary from 1997, a rare window on how Young thinks, how he speaks, his humor. --Andrew Bartlett


Product Description

Federico,
If I'm recalling the press release correctly, the Massey Hall show was a solo performance by Neil.

Wow! Massey hall should be a great release. Can't wait.

Re: Archives Vol.1, I remember reading years ago when Neil Young first started talking about releasing a full blow anthology. It was going to be something like 32 discs :)

Another harvest of Neil Young

Brad Wheeler, theglobeandmail.com
January, 2007



Tunes from landmark 1971 concerts will be released this spring.



A record of a homecoming is on the way home. Material culled from a pair of Neil Young solo concerts at Toronto's Massey Hall almost 36 years ago is set for a March release. Previously available in bootleg form as Going Back to Canada, the live album captures an enigmatic singer-songwriter at his career's early creative peak.

Young was a star rising, not much more than 24, when he introduced Old Man at Massey Hall as "a new song." On Jan. 19, 1971, with friends and proud family in attendance, the youthful brooder played two sold-out concerts, part of the Journey Through the Past solo tour that began in Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre and ended, in late February, at London, England's Royal Festival Hall.

The crowd-drawing event was documented by the press, including an account by The Globe and Mail's Jack Batten, who noted a young audience's devotion to an artist who presented himself as distinctly Canadian. Wrote Batten: "There's no mistaking his sly manner, his flat speaking voice and his rather dour facial expression (which not even long hair can disguise) for anyone but a northerner."

Batten was not alone in his characterization of Young -- in his onstage persona, at least -- as a lamenter: "He comes on wearing his private rain cloud like a halo," was how another writer put it.

As far as his career was concerned, Young had no need to be grim. The man in patched jeans, lumberjack shirt and work boots had sold more than one-million copies of his album After the Gold Rush (1970) at that point, and his quarter share of the success of America's biggest band at the time -- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young -- would have been substantial.

The songs performed on the Shuter Street stage represented a memorable surge of songwriting, with some of material already released (Helpless, Cowgirl in the Sand, Ohio, Down By the River, I Am a Child) and some issued later (Old Man, The Needle and the Damage Done, A Man Needs a Maid).

The concerts were recorded by producer David Briggs, yet Young himself never heard the tapes until 1996 -- a quarter-century later. At the turn of the seventies, Young was a driven artist, on the move creatively and otherwise. Once the material that ended up on 1973's Harvest was recorded (during and after the tour), the Massey tapes were shelved.

Those shelves and others are now being cleared. Fresh rumours have Young's long-imminent archival box set (possibly 32 CDs in all) coming out later this year. In the meantime, the first CD of the Archives: Performance Series -- the stellar, if truncated (at 43 minutes) Live at the Fillmore East: March 6 & 7, 1970 -- was released late last year on Reprise Records, long the label home of Young. The second CD of the series (the forthcoming Massey release) is rumoured to include a DVD component, with film footage or a photo montage from the Toronto shows. No further CDs in the series are planned.

Available now on iTunes is The Bridge School Collection, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, a massive compilation of recordings from Young's star-studded annual benefit concerts. The artists involved include Radiohead's Thom Yorke (who covers After the Gold Rush on the first volume), Willie Nelson and Pearl Jam, and Canadian acts Sarah McLachlan, the Cowboy Junkies, the Barenaked Ladies and Tegan and Sara.

Young only performs on five tracks in the whole set, all in the second volume (including Helpless with Bruce Springsteen and Down By the River with Crazy Horse and Elvis Costello), as well as on a pair of bonus tracks on Vol. 1 (Cortez the Killer and a Comes a Time/Sugar Mountain medley by Young and Dave Matthews, available only if the entire 80-track set is purchased).

Young, with cohorts David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, last performed in Canada this past summer in support of his anti-George W. Bush harangue, the Living With War album. Reportedly all of the tour's concerts were filmed, with a DVD scheduled to be released in 2008 (a U.S. election year). As well, a version of Living with War featuring stripped-down arrangements, a rawer guitar sound and a bonus DVD was released last month.

A blast from Young's past comes in the form of a rare Motown single, from 1966 by the Mynah Birds -- a Toronto-based garage band that included Young (on 12-string acoustic), bassist Bruce Palmer and Rick (Superfreak) James. The record (It's My Time, with
B-side Go On and Cry) was pulled the day of its release because of James's AWOL status with the U.S. Navy. It now sees the light of day as part of a five-CD set, The Complete Motown Singles: Vol. 6, 1966.

The humble song may have been called It's My Time, but Young's era was actually to come a bit later -- and to continue long after. In the review of the 1971 Massey Hall show, Globe reviewer Batten praised Young's singing, yet reckoned the green tunesmith needed "more seasoning." But he added that Young had so much talent and so much "quiet charm" that the artist was "bound to stick around for a long time, maturing and writing and rewarding his audiences."

And so it happened.

Tonight was the night

On Jan. 19, 1971, Neil Young played a pair of solo shows at Toronto's Massey Hall. The next day, a review by then pop-music writer Jack Batten, excerpted below, ran in The Globe and Mail.

"All of a sudden, without anyone (except a million kids) noticing, Neil Young of Winnipeg and Toronto has arrived as a major pop star, someone to reckon with on the rich, heady, crowd-drawing level of James Taylor. If you don't believe it, you should have been at Massey Hall last night where he played two concerts for sell-out houses of mostly young people who were there not merely to listen but to worship.

"From the opening ovation to the closing and standing ovations, the audience was positively adulatory, rewarding Young with constant bursts of clapping for every trivial move, from sipping water to announcing new songs, a fact I mention not merely because the handclapping was by itself a drag but also because it constantly intruded on any close relationship between Young and the best part of his audience. . . ."

"His songwriting isn't his strongest talent. (His lovely clean voice is.) He does have a knack for writing one- and two-liners that stick in the head, and occasionally, as in a new song he sang about a hired man on his ranch, he comes up with numbers that sustain a mood for their entire duration. . . ."

I have heard a grey area edition of the late show. Excellent musically, hopefully the official tape is in better shape then the boot, which has some significant tape drop out & wear.

Hopefully, with this archive release, we'll get at least one version of EVERY song played over those two shows. :wink:

Solo Neil usually leaves me cold, but the circulating boot from this night is fantastic, and leaves Harvest (which contains several of the new songs, but sadly not all of them) for dead, IMHO...

I have to confess that I was a little disappointed when I read that this was a solo performance. I really prefer the Crazy Horse Neil. But between Renny's post and the other endorsements I am pretty excited to hear this.

My very first concert was Neil solo in either 1970 or 1971, so I have a warm place in my heart for it. One interesting point on this is Heart Of Gold done on piano.

I have it on good authority that the new Neil Young will feature 17 songs, a more complete show than the recent Fillmore release.

That would mean that although the early and late shows were almost exactly the same, at least one song from the evening will be omitted. I think the late show had 18 songs to the early show's 17.

You know what sucks about this? I was planning to wait until this Fall to buy this recording as part of the 8-CD Neil Young Archives box, which - as I understand it - duplicates the "Massey Hall" CD. But this sounds like such a killer release that waiting from March until September is going to be impossible (at least for me).

Why not release both Massey Hall sets? Guess fans will still need to hang onto their bootlegs...

NEIL YOUNG'S "LIVE AT MASSEY HALL" SET FOR RELEASE MARCH 13TH

The 1971 Concert Is The Second Album in Performance Series


January 17, 2007 - Burbank, CA – On January 19, 1971, Neil Young performed at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada. In many ways, this was a major homecoming event. He had left Canada in 1966, soon becoming a member of Buffalo Springfield in Los Angeles, then recording his self-titled debut solo album in 1968. That was followed by "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" with Crazy Horse, then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Déjà vu" in 1970 and his best-selling album "After The Gold Rush." By the time Young came back to Canada for the Massey Hall concert, he had become one of the most exciting and successful singer-songwriters in rock.

Neil Young was performing solo that evening in Toronto, playing many of his well-known songs like "Down by the River," "Ohio" and "I Am a Child." But he also included several new originals that would be featured on his next new album, "Harvest," which had not been released yet, like "Old Man," "The Needle and the Damage Done" and "Heart of Gold." The audience had not heard any of these before, and the night was an historic and moving performance for all.

"This is the album that should have come out between "After The Gold Rush" and 'Harvest,'" Young says now. "David Briggs, my producer, was adamant that this should be the record, but I was very excited about the takes we got on "Harvest," and wanted "Harvest" out. David disagreed. As I listen to this today, I can see why."

Live At Massey Hall, produced by Young and the late David Briggs, is the second Reprise Records release in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series, following last year's "Live At The Fillmore East" album. Both are in anticipation of the "Archives Volume I" collection, due this fall. That 8-CD, 2-DVD audiobiography will include Young's music from 1963 to 1972, and feature a treasure trove of previously unreleased recordings, both studio and live, along with concert footage and rare memorabilia from the first decade of Neil Young's long and unequaled career.
