Neil Young Announces Official Bootleg Series 'Carnegie Hall 1970'

Shakey Pictures Records and Reprise Records have announced the first of a new series – The Neil Young Official Bootleg Series — Carnegie Hall 1970, available on double vinyl, double CD and High Res Digital on Friday October 1st.

Five more series selections will become available in 2022.

Carnegie Hall, the first release, recorded on original analog multitrack, was mixed by “The Volume Dealers” — Neil Young and Niko Bolas.

This recording was made from the show on December 4th, 1970 and it was the first time Neil ever walked onstage at Carnegie Hall.

There were two shows at Carnegie Hall, one on the 4th and one followed at Midnight the next morning. No bootleggers ever captured this first show, and it was, by far, a much superior show according to NY.

The concert’s generous setlist covers one of the most revered eras of Young’s career, with stripped-down versions of the tunes “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,” “Down By the River,” “Helpless” and “Sugar Mountain’” plus “After the Goldrush,”  from the album of the same name, released only nine weeks prior to the Carnegie Hall show.

Neil even plays the poignant songs “Bad Fog of Loneliness,” Old Man” and “See the Sky About to Rain” before they were recorded and released. Carnegie Hall is an album full of gems.
