Shout out for Neil Young's Sugar Mountain Live LP


Came out yesterday. Sparse and elegant, with lots of banter between songs. Hard to imagine 40 years have gone by since this was recorded. The Buffalo Springfield songs have never sounded better, played on only an acoustic guitar, and there are a few early NY solo gems, like "Old Laughing Lady". In a word--Essential.

Massey is the best of the four archival projects (The 1992 Harvest Moon sessions came out two months ago). Very intimate for a recording, a simple two track, but the vocals are incredible for that time period. Would highly recommend it in vinyl. Analogue is much better than the CD. Not impressed with Fillmore; rank it the third best of the four. Sounds more like a bootleg soundboard.
