I Am A Child I had just finished downloading this a while back over at Dime when it was banned. Here was the reason : 'It is rumoured that one of the 1971 Massey Hall performances is to be included in Neil's next Archive release (fall 2006). To be on the safe side, this torrent has to go. Sorry.' Before this was pulled, about 250 - 300 people managed to grab this gem of a show - including me! It is incredible, and that is a HUGE understatement. There were many people downloading this when it was pulled and it really needs to be heard by everyone. The sound quality & performance is incredible. Even a casual Neil Young fan should have this in their collection, IMHO. When I grabbed it, there weren't even any MD5 or FFP files so I made my own. No lineage info was listed in the text file or elsewhere, but I am sure this is a SBD recording and seeing that it isn't Dead or JGB, I didn't really see it as an issue. If for some reason it is an issue, please let me know. It's been a while since I uploaded something and after months of downloading, I thought it was time to give something back. For once I had something to upload here that everyone else doesn't already have - I hope! Enjoy the Solo Acoustic Neil Young folks! =================== Hi,I got this Neil show from www.bigo.com sometime before it appeared on Dime. The songs were downloaded individually, the last two tracks are badly flawed, lots of noise etc, dunno if the Dime one was like this. This is what The Big O had to say about it.... "[b]Neil Young Going Back To Canada [no label, 2CD] Live in Canada, Jan 19, 1971. A [/b] soundboard stereo recording. While researching about lost albums, this entry in David Downing’s 1994 book, A Dreamer Of Pictures: Neil Young, The Man And His Music, revealed that Reprise, Young’s record company, had released a press statement in January of 1971 of an imminent live album. He wrote: "The track listing issued to the music press showed six previously unreleased songs: Old Man, Dance Dance Dance, See The Sky About To Rain, The Needle And The Damage Done, Bad Fog Of Loneliness and Wonderin’. Two of Young’s compositions for Buffalo Springfield - Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing and Flying On The Ground Is Wrong - would make their first appearance on record with the author on vocals." The absence of several songs on this show we offer suggests that that show is another one probably recorded late in 1970 either during his trip to Europe when he did play the two Buffalo Springfield songs or during his final US tour in December 1970 when he played at Carnegie Hall, Fillmore East and in Boston. This show we offer was recorded live at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada on January 19, 1971. It surfaced among collectors in 2005 on the Aurora Borealis label. This version was cleaned and mastered by THEFACE07 but as it is sourced from a few generations away from the master tape, it has some hiss. This was the tour when Neil Young was promoting After The Goldrush, an album that fired the imagination of young Americans. Together with James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James, it marked the arrival of the confessional singer-songwriter. But Young had so much more to offer. The standout of this show is how a solo Neil Young can rivet his audience with just his guitar and piano. No gimmicks, no SFX and no Crazy Horse. It was the anti-thesis of pop fluff. There were no obvious hit singles, catchy choruses or power pop hooks. It was his thin, sincere vocals and thoughtful songs that cut to the heart of the matter. There is also a clear sense of hopelessness running through this recording. Bad Fog Of Loneliness remains unreleased to this day. There has been some suggestion that this is the lost Reprise album but we think not. It may have been recorded to be part of a compilation live Neil Young album but at the time, the record company probably thought it best to step aside for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s double live album, Four Way Street, which appeared in stores in early 1971. This show sets the standard for the solo singer-songwriters to compare against. Whether lo-fi or hi-fi, Neil Young delivers." -->will trade as FLAC disc or CD Audio disc w/o artwork |
