Neil Young kicks off his long-promised Official Bootleg Series with Carnegie Hall 1970.
This is a recording of the early show on 4 December 1970, which unlike the later show,
has evaded bootleggers over the years.
The show was recorded on analogue multi-track and therefore could be professionally mixed
for this release (by Neil Young and Niko Bolas).
It features a fabulous, and generous, setlist with stripped-down versions of songs
like ‘Down By the River’, ‘Helpless’, ‘Sugar Mountain’ plus the title track from
the at the time only-just-issued After the Goldrush. ‘Bad Fog of Loneliness’, ‘Old Man”
and “See the Sky About to Rain” hadn’t been released at all, at the time of this concert.
