This is a thread where anyone who has heard, or plans to hear this album is invited to post a comment :-

Counting from his self-titled 1968 debut album, Neil Young has released a total of something like fifty albums. If Massey Hall, recorded in front of a small, respectful audience in Toronto, had been released at the time, it would been his third album. Instead it`s actually his 42nd release, part of some complex ongoing archival series of a kind that only a few select artists attempt. ( Zappa, Phish, Dylan, the Allmans, the Dead and the Beatles are others that spring to mind.)
So, what`s your opinion of Massey Hall ? How does it stand up as an album ? How do the songs compare with the studio versions ? Which NY would you rather hear, the weary, rough-voiced stadium-filler of today or the fresh young troubador of forty years ago ?
