Neil Young - 1970-12-05 - Carnegie Hall, NY (HQ Aud)

In the book Neil Young: The Definitive Story Of His Musical Career, author Johnny Rogan wrote that “The performances at Carnegie Hall in December (4th-5th) were regarded by Young as some of the most important of his career. Young even stated that he would have gladly played for free, just for the pleasure of performing at that prestigious venue. The seriousness with which Young took those performances were evident in some of his adverse comments to the audiences. He demanded silence between songs and when one punter shouted for a song, Young gave him this stern reply: “Listen, let me tell you one thing. As a performer, when you play Carnegie Hall you look forward to it for a number of years. I don’t take playing here lightly at all and I think that you should have enough faith in me to know that I would plan ahead and include all of the songs that I thought you’d want to hear. That’s OK at the Maple Leaf Gardens… but I’m not Grand Funk Railroad.” This HQ Audience recording captures Neil from the 2nd night at Carnegie Hall, on December 5, 1970, 42 years ago today.  Download this one to hear Neil’s music match the majesty of the venue, as he transforms such well know electric numbers as Cinnamon Girl, Down by The River, The Loner, Cowgirl In The Sand, Ohio and Southern Man into acoustic masterpieces.
