Neil Younger’s Official Bootleg Collection is increasing with the releases of Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (Los Angeles 2/1/71), Royce Corridor (Los Angeles 1/30/71), and Citizen Kane Jr. Blues (Reside The Backside Line) (New York Metropolis 5/16/74). All three albums will probably be accessible on CD and digitally (however not on Spotify) on Could 6, with vinyl editions to comply with on June 3.
Royce Corridor and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion have been recorded close to the top of a profitable solo acoustic tour Younger performed following the dissolution of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Younger. The 2 units are largely an identical and have Buffalo Springfield tunes (“On The Means Residence,” “I Am a Baby”), After the Gold Rush songs (“Don’t Let It Carry You Down,” “Inform Me Why”) and new compositions that wouldn’t be launched till Harvest over a yr later (“Coronary heart of Gold,” “Previous Man,” and “A Man Wants a Maid.”) Each reveals have circulated in bootleg circles for years, however the sound high quality on these new releases will probably be significantly better than something heard earlier than.
Citizen Kane Jr. Blues was recorded at an unannounced present that Younger performed at New York’s tiny Backside Line properly previous midnight following units by Ry Cooder and Leon Redbone. “In my thoughts it’s a hazy reminiscence,” Young wrote on the Neil Young Archives in 2020, “however this second actually captures the essence of the place I used to be in 1974. Two months later, the album On the Seaside was launched, together with songs I performed that evening — ‘Ambulance Blues,’ ‘Revolution Blues,’ ‘On the Seaside’ and ‘Movement Blues.’”
Neil Younger began the Official Bootleg Collection final yr with the discharge of Carnegie Corridor 1970. Future volumes will highlight a gig he performed at London’s Rainbow Theater in 1973 on the Tonight’s The Evening tour, and a present in performed in 1977 along with his short-lived band the Geese.
Younger hasn’t carried out for a stay viewers since Farm Assist in September 2019. In January, he instructed followers that he wouldn’t play extra reveals till he had an electrical tour bus. “For me, there aren’t any extra journeys with fossil fuels,” he wrote. “The tour is ready for the clear bus. Not for Covid. It’s concerning the life and loss of life of the planet as we all know it. However I’ll do all the things to come back to you and share some music.”
