Neil Young - Live At The Cellar Door

180g Vinyl Album Taken From 6 Solo Acoustic Shows From 1970! Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Artists - Rated 34/100! Taken from 6 shows recorded at The Cellar Door in Washington, D.C. November 30, and December 1 & 2, 1970, this album is released as part of the ongoing Neil Young Archives Performance Series. The solo acoustic shows feature the debut performances of "Old Man" and "See the Sky About to Rain". Available for the first time - Neil Young's historic live performance at The Cellar Door includes a rare piano version of Cinnamon Girl. "The solo acoustic shows came about four months after the release of After the Goldrush, Young's best selling album to date that featured "Tell Me Why," "Don't Let It Bring You Down," "Birds" as well as the haunting title track. Those songs are all on Live at the Cellar Door along with older favorites like "Down by the River" "Cinnamon Girl" and Buffalo Springfield classics "Expecting to Fly," "I Am a Child" and "Flying on the Ground Is Wrong." "The six Cellar Door shows marked Young's first concerts after a nearly five-month break. He spent some of that time writing new material, and the shows featured the debut performances of "Old Man," "Bad Fog of Loneliness" and "See the Sky About to Rain." It's also one of the few concerts where he played "Cinnamon Girl" on the piano. "He played two shows per evening at the Cellar Door, and they essentially served as a public rehearsal for his two-night stand at New York's Carnegie Hall on December 4th and 5th, 1970. Nobody knew it at the time, but Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young quietly broke up after their summer tour wrapped that July. The success of After the Goldrush demonstrated that Young was a genuine superstar outside of the short-lived supergroup, and his fame would only grow as the decade went on." - Rollingstone.com, Andy Greene, October 21, 2013 Other albums available from the NYAPS include Live At the Fillmore East 1970 (with Crazy Horse) (WEALP99819), Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968 (WEALP49839) and Live At Massey Hall 1971 (WEALP49972)!
