Video: Neil Young: "Old Man" / "Ohio" [Live at Massey Hall, 1971]
The second in Reprise Records' Neil Young Archives Performance Series (the first being November's Live at the Fillmore East, recorded in 1970 with the original Crazy Horse lineup) is a vintage solo performance from 1971, at Toronto's Massey Hall. This performance not only included established Young favorites, but also not-yet-released songs from his then-upcoming album, Harvest. Below are two performances from that night of classic Young tracks "Old Man" and "Ohio". What's most striking about the video is how ghostly Neil looks, his pale face peering out from behind his dark hair and a pitch black background-- and there's no audience noise on these recordings, either, giving the footage the appearance of being a completely solo performance.
