Neil Young - debut of "Old Man" - Live at the Cellar Door

submitted by Zawash

1 decade 1 year 4 weeks ago

This is the debut performance of "Old Man" - an early version from Neil Young's solo concerts in The Cellar Door in Washington D.C.
Old Man was released in its finished form on Harvest two years later, and is still one of the very best Neil Young tracks ever made. And - I love this first live version. :)

From Consequence of Sound:
On November 26th, Neil Young will release the latest installment in his archival performances series. Titled Live at the Cellar Door, it collects recordings from Young’s intimate six-show solo stint at The Cellar Door in Washington D.C. between November 30th and December 2nd, 1970, which came in support of his album After the Gold Rush.

Spanning 13 tracks, the album includes a rare solo version of “Cinnamon Girl” performed on piano; an early version of “Old Man”, which would be released on Harvest two years later; and the rarity “Bad Fog of Loneliness”. The set also features acoustic versions of several After the Gold Rush tracks and selections from the Buffalo Springfield catalog.

And - can someone give me a *related=http://videosift.com/video/Old-Man-by-Neil-Young ? :)

I love how they've kept the hiss, and therefore also kept all the fine sound details and nuances that often are lost in later reissues.
