Just two months after the release of his seminal After the Gold Rush, Neil Young sat down for a performance at The Shakespeare Theatre on January 22, 1971. The Stratford, CT show captures the artist stripped down to the bare essentials—acoustic guitar, piano, and harmonica.
The concert was recorded for presentation on German TV later that year but was not publicly available until now. The original 50 year-old analog tapes have been lovingly restored (resulting in what Neil Young calls “one of the most pure sounding acoustic performances we have in the Archive”.), making available early acoustic recordings of two After the Gold Rush songs, early Harvest tunes, and beloved favourites such as Ohio. Both the film and audio have been painstakingly restored by Young’s team.
