1968 Neil Young solo show to be released Nov. 25

It's not the part of the "Archives" releases, but jambase is reporting that a 1968 Neil Young solo show is scheduled for a Nov. 25 release date.

Just five days shy of his 23rd birthday, Neil Young's solo career launched in earnest with an engagement at The Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Having left the Buffalo Springfield only six months earlier, Neil brought just his guitar along to the facility operated by the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan as a ministry to University of Michigan students, faculty and staff. The truth was that the engagement was something of a "stealth" booking, an experiment to determine if audiences would accept Neil's music in its most elemental form. Having performed previously in the context of a band, he was unsure if he could deliver his music as convincingly alone. The Canterbury House experience erased all doubts and set the stage for the succession of Neil Young solo albums that continues to this day.

The night of November 9, 1968 (and the night following), he performed his music and told stories between the songs to a rapt audience. The performances were recorded those evenings on a TEAC 2 track tape recorder, the tapes kept in storage over the intervening years.

Aloha,

Hopefully will tide me over until the actual Archives box ... how long have I been saying that?
