Album Review: Neil Young - Live At The Cellar Door

Sure it’s 43 years ago now, but Young’s archives continue to bear fruit.

More Neil Young Neil Young Profile



After the success of the majestic After The Gold Rush in late 1970, Young did six nights at The Cellar Door with just a piano and an acoustic guitar, and he's at his fragile eclectic best. There's a few songs from his Buffalo Springfield days including Flying On The Ground Is Wrong, but the highlights are the criminally non-album track Bad Fog Of Loneliness, a piano version of Cinnamon Girl and an acoustic Down By The River. Sure it's 43 years ago now, but Young's archives continue to bear fruit.
