The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website describes Young as "one of rock and roll's greatest songwriters and performers". He released his first album in 1968 and has since forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, spanning over 45 years and 35 studio albums, with a continuous and uncompromising exploration of musical styles. He began performing in a group covering Shadows instrumentals in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield together with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969.

Young Shakespeare is being released almost exactly 50 years after the original performance.This article is about the musician.
This beautiful concert is being released on LP and CD, plus a deluxe boxed edition that includes both LP and CD and, for the first time ever, a DVD of the concert. The ancient analog tapes have been lovingly restored – resulting in (as Neil says on NYA) “one of the most pure sounding acoustic performances we have in the Archive”. The wonderful set list also includes acoustic renditions of favorites such as “Ohio”, “Cowgirl In the Sand”, “Helpless”, “Down By The River” and “Sugar Mountain”. To my fans, I say this is the best ever.”Īs an insight into Neil’s prolific song writing at the time, the concert features two songs from the recently released After The Gold Rush but four songs from the classic Harvest album that was still over a year away from being released. “Young Shakespeare” is a very special event. A more calm performance, without the celebratory atmosphere of Massey Hall, captured live on 16mm. Neil has written on NYA that this show is “superior to our beloved “Massey Hall”.
