With Richard Wilson's latest album (below or here ) dowsing 70's rocks history he'll know doubt be listening intently to another part of that real history which is being brought to life again by way of Neil Young's original recordings made in November and December 1970 of his famous solo performances at The Cellar Door in Washington D.C.
Just an acoustic guitar and piano was all Young needed to work over songs from his previous days in Buffalo Springfield and songs from his then newly released and possibly his most successful solo album (in the UK for sure), 'After The Gold Rush'. 13 songs are included in the second of Young's Archive releases. Cleaned and clear, they are released on all formats including vinyl on December 10th. Find it at iTunes and Amazon etc.
Although it should be available from his own site there's no sign of it as yet, but then his web site is one crazy horse. Check that out here
And here's the trailer for The Cellar Door.
