Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Recorded in Michigan in 1968, Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain concert at Canterbury House was performed during a transitional period for the singer-songwriter. Buffalo Springfield had recently dissolved and the 21-year-old Young was tentatively feeling his way towards a solo career. There are no orchestral embellishments here – it’s literally just Young, his guitar and a steady flow of stories and audience banter. Versions of “Mr Soul” and “Expecting to Fly” are stripped right down to the basics, and Buffalo Springfield tracks like "Broken Arrow" and “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing” are rendered more naked and honest in the same way. These songs are punctuated with newer material like “The Old Laughing Lady,” and "Birds" (which would show up on After The Gold Rush a couple of years later), as well as the singer’s often amusing anecdotes, which range from the rigors of owning a Bentley to being sacked from a bookstore for being high on “diet pills”. While not as immersive as Live At Massey Hall, Sugar Mountain is an alluring profile of a singer on the cusp of an outstanding career. --Danny McKenna

CD Description

After forty years in the vaults, this early Neil Young sololive recording finally sees the light of day. Recorded shortly after he left Buffalo Springfield, the performance was an experiment to see whether audiences would take to Young asa solo artist, the answer to which was obviously a resounding yes. This unique historical document provides a fascinating snapshot for Young's fans of a formative period in the nascent artist's career and is presented here in both CD and high-definition DVDA formats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for any Neil Young fan, 7 Dec 2008

By	Marc B (Edinburgh Scotland) - See all my reviews

If you are a Neil Young fan my advice is not to hesitate in buying this. Granted it is not as an assured a performance as Massey Hall but as a historical document of one of the most important artists of the 20th Century it is essential. This is Neil Young as a shy unsure 22 year old stepping out of the shadow of Stephen Stills in his first solo concert since the break up with the Buffalo Springfield, It's fantastically intimate with a lot of amusing anecdotes and stories even taking requests at one point. He audibly displays a nervousness in his ability that no release has ever highlighted, it is utterly compelling. The material is taken mostly from his first solo album but includes his best known Springfield tracks (a lot of which were sung by Richie Furay and not Neil) also includes Birds which was re-recorded for After the Goldrush and Sugar Mountain the same version which was included on Decade.
A word of warning as it is bound to come up and someone will cry rip off as on Amazon.com at present. The DVD is a DVD-Audio disc (commonly abbreviated as DVD-A) and is a digital format for delivering very high-fidelity audio content on a DVD. DVD-Audio is not intended to be a video delivery format and should not be confused with video DVDs containing concerts and music videos. It's actually very good value for money and gives you the same material on 2 different formats. If you don't have a DVD-Audio player then play the CD, as someone who has a DVD-A player I have the CD to enjoy in the car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Gifted and Canadian, 9 Dec 2008

By	Fletch-a-sketch "Fletch" (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Neil Young not long after Buffalo Springfield and way before he hit his stride with `Everybody knows..' and `Harvest'. This live album find Neil young in fine form telling stories and setting mental pictures for many of the songs which would later appear on his first two solo album.
Just acoustic guitar and vocal it is all you really need a two channel recording replicated very well from a 40 year old tape. The show while not quite as good as the Masey Hall release from last year is still a very compelling listen.
The bonus is that this comes with a DVD which gives anyone with a DVD player the opportunity to listen to the concert at maximum fidelity (there is not much video content but who cares it's about the music). As with most of Neil Young's recent releases this comes in a gatefold paper sleeve with a disc in each side. Reminiscent of the old days of LP's but with the need for much stronger spectacles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sitting Atop A Sugar Mountain. , 9 Dec 2008

By	P. Bessell "The better you look the more you see" (Exeter) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An absolute must for every Neil Young fan, this album is a piece of music history and should be listened to as such. Don't buy it to get-into Neil Young.
This CD is for the fans and yeah there are a lot of us and every hard-core Neil fan will love this album, I can't tell you how happy and excited I was when I got the CD, every song is amazing, but this album depicts the birth of a solo artist, and because of that it's absolutely fascinating.
