Neil Young - Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968
The latest CD-DVD in Young’s Archives series comes from a November appearance at a Michigan coffeehouse just five days shy of his 23rd birthday and six months after he left Buffalo Springfield. Like Live at Massey Hall 1971, what stands out is the warm intimacy of the performance and the unadorned brilliance of those early, now-classic songs. And Young’s between-song raps, including one hilarious tale about getting fired from Toronto’s Cole’s Bookstore for his pep-pill “irregularity,” are an insightful bonus.
