Here's a description from the Archives section of his own
site, from before this all-acoustic gem was officially
released:
"In the last few weeks (as I write this in August 2021),
Neil Young has released an incredible acoustic concert he
performed in 1969, but only through his website,
neilyoungarchives.com. In my opinion, the recording of
this show is one of the best recordings he ever made in
his long career, so it's frustrating that it's not being
officially released (at least not yet).
This show is very unique and special indeed. Young played
some acoustic shows up through about February 1969, then
switched to playing with Crazy House or Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young for the rest of 1969 and 1970. It was only
at the last couple of months of 1970 when he did another
solo acoustic tour.
So this concert at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, was the only full acoustic show he did for well
over a year and a half during a very crucial part of his
career. It took place right in the middle of a CSNY tour.
It was professionally recorded, with the possible
intention of being released as a live album. However,
that never happened, and the show was never even
available as a bootleg.
The version that has now finally appeared sounds
fantastic. Young was in top form, both with his musical
performance and his entertaining banter between songs.
Plus, since this was the only acoustic concert he did for
a large portion of 1969 and 1970, many of the songs were
very rarely done by him at other times, at least not in
acoustic format. For instance, this concert is the ONLY
time in his long career that he's ever played his Buffalo
Springfield song "Down to the Wire." It's one of just two
times he played the cover "Oh Lonesome Me" prior to 2005.
It's the first time he played "Country Girl" in public,
one of only a small number of times he played it, and
this is the only excellent live acoustic recording of it.
It's the only time he played "I've Been Waiting for You"
prior to 2001, and the only live acoustic version. It's
the first time he played "Here We Are in the Years," and
the only live acoustic version he's ever done. It's the
first time he played "Everybody's Alone" in concert, and
one of just of four times he's played it in public. It
also was the first public performances of "Helpless" and
"Dance, Dance, Dance." I could go on with other rarities,
like "I've Loved Her So Long" and "Wonderin'."
Suffice to say this is a very unique "holy grail" concert
for Neil Young fans! It boggles my mind that it hasn't
been officially released yet. It may well be that he will
put it out as an album soon."
