Neil Young - Sugar Mountain Live at Canterbury House - 1968



Uhhhh... I just listened to the new commercially released Neil Young bootleg, Live at Canterbury House 1968. While I really enjoyed the performances, the between song banter is priceless. Neil seems really happy and aloof during this show, and chats with the audience, telling stories and joking around. The downside to this release is the fairly obvious post production and digital mastering. This has been cleaned up A LOT, and as an ardent fan of bootlegs and tape trading, I don't like it one bit. This disc is just too slick and clean for my taste. I'd love to listen to the original, un-retouched version. I think the Massey Hall 1971 release sounds much more true to the source than this Canterbury House show. That being said, I've uploaded it so you can listen to it. See what you think.

Check out all the shit he talks about being in Buffalo Springfield. It's pretty fucking funny. He and Steven Stills are mortal enemies. Also, did you know that Neil Young and Rick James were in a band together? Weird.
