    Recorded at the crescent peak of his 1970's career, "Live at the Cellar Door" exemplifies what Neil Young became famous for and still is. Bleakly beautiful folk rock that will leave you introspective yet satisfied. Fantastic sound quality, even among the sparsest of arrangements, this is a true testament to the legacy of Neil Young's fantastic career.

    Playing it, you're reminded anew of the restlessness and emotional range at the heart of Young's art. [Feb 2014, p.64]

    A beautiful and intimate set that stands in fascinating contrast to Massey Hall.
