The 75-year-old music legend will treat fans to the previously unreleased footage from the 1971 performance, which is the earliest known concert recording of Neil, from his set at The Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, on March 26.<\/p>\n

Originally intended for a presentation on German TV later that year, the recordings will now be made public for the very first time.<\/p>\n

The analogue tapes have been dusted off and restored and include acoustic recordings of two \u2018After the Gold Rush\u2019 tracks and the likes of \u2018Ohio\u2019, \u2018Cowgirl in the Sand\u2019, \u2018Helpless\u2019, \u2018Down by the River\u2019 and \u2018Sugar Mountain\u2019, plus tracks from 1972’s seminal LP \u2018Harvest\u2019.<\/p>\n

On his Neil Young Archives (NYA) site, Neil explained that ‘Young Shakespeare’ is \u201ca more calm performance, without the celebratory atmosphere of Massey Hall, captured live on 16mm. Young Shakespeare is a very special event. To my fans, I say this is the best ever \u2026 one of the most pure-sounding acoustic performances we have in the Archive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The live album will be available on vinyl and CD, while the concert film will be released as a standalone DVD, and all formats will come with a Deluxe Box Set Edition. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Neil is also set to release the lost album ‘Johnny’s Island’.<\/p>\n

The ‘Cinnamon Girl’ hitmaker recorded the tracks at Honolulu’s Commercial Recorders studio in Hawaii, during the same sessions for his 1982 LP ‘Trans’ .<\/p>\n

The collection was previously called \u2018Island In The Sun\u2019 and some of the songs made at the time, such as \u2018Like An Inca\u2019, \u2018Hold On To Your Love\u2019, and \u2018Little Thing Called Love\u2019, ended up on ‘Trans’.<\/p>\n

The record will now be released in all its glory via the Neil Young Archives \u201csoon\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neil previously announced on his website for the project: “‘Johnny\u2019s Island\u2019 a complete album now being prepared for release at NYA, includes a majority of unreleased tracks including \u2018Big Pearl,\u2019 \u2018Island In The Sun,\u2019 and \u2018Love Hotel,\u2019 plus others you may have heard before. It\u2019s a beautiful record coming to you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
