film/album: "Young Shakespeare" from January 1971 at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut as "the earliest known film of any of my performances."seems a little bit pointless since we've got both Cellar Door and Massey Hall from right around the same time, but oh well.

neil claims it's even better than the live at massey hall. it was recorded 3 days later

ok so if I've got this timeline right:
-Neil tours early 71, solo sets, hangs out with Briggs who's living in Toronto-Briggs records the Massey Hall show, tells/yells at Neil that it rules and needs to come out-Neil hems and haws about a live album, then changes his mind and puts out Harvest instead-Briggs, as usual, complains
Fast forward a few decades:
-Neil digs out the Massey Hall tapes, admits 'Briggs was right, this rules', puts it out-wants visuals to go along with, so he takes the footage from the Stratford Theatre shot for a Dutch documentary, puts it together
-2020 rolls along and now Neil decides to put out the Stratford show, the audio and the film again-claims it's 'better' than Massey, so basically back to ignoring Briggs
I say forget 'em both and stick with this:

This place is slipping; how come I had to learn about this album on Stereogum?
Neil Young has announced a new archival album set for release in 2021. Titled Road Of Plenty, it includes a smattering of ’80s recordings including a live take of the titular “Road Of Plenty” — which later became “Eldorado” on his 1990 album Freedom — captured in Minneapolis with Crazy Horse in 1986. Young believes this to be the best version of the song. Also on the tracklist are a number of studio recordings captured at the Hit Factory in NYC while rehearsing for Young’s 1989 Saturday Night Live — the one with “Rockin’ In The Free World” that rejuvenated Young’s career and essentially launched his ’90s run as a benevolent elder of the grunge movement.In a message on his Neil Young Archives site, Young explains:“ROAD OF PLENTY” is a song with a long history, finally morphing into “Eldorado” on the album ‘Freedom’ back in 1990. I tried it out with Buffalo Springfield in 1986 and it was my fault we didn’t get it together at that time and have a reunion, tour and album. I don’t even know why. It was my own fault. I should have done it. Apparently I was distracted by other things at the time. Life was moving fast, perhaps a bit too fast for me to see.‘Road of Plenty’ lived on with Crazy Horse on the road in a 1986 tour. We have a monster take of it! With the VOLUME DEALERS working again, Niko Bolas has mixed a real masterpiece! How this song escaped is hard for me to believe….There is a ROAD OF PLENTY album coming in 2021 and it includes that magical night in Minneapolis were the Horse nailed the song. Also included are rarities from that period, including a 17 minute studio version of ’60-0′ with the Bluenotes and the original studio take of ‘Fuckin Up’ — recorded at the Hit Factory in NYC with Poncho, Charley Drayton (bass) and Steve Jordan (drums), the band that played with me on Saturday Night Live when we did ‘Rockin in the Free World’ and ‘No More.’During the rehearsals for that show, we recorded some amazing music at the Hit Factory in NYC, all of which is in ROAD OF PLENTY. Moving around a lot during that time, I was restless and it shows in this music. Niko and (THE VOLUME DEALERS) have been working on this project now for a while and I think it will be a highlight of 2021…. ROAD OF PLENTY, another album to look forward to here at the Archives!Hang in there folks, we will get through this all together if we are meant to. Life will never be the same and that’s not bad at all. Look at what we will have…Love one another and be true to our beautiful EARTH. The future is ours to save.love!be well,nySo there you go, a lot of information on Road Of Plenty, albeit no official tracklist or release date. Too bad about that Buffalo Springfield reunion that never was!

"Try" from Homegrown is now streamable from the Archives site, and it's just gorgeous: https://neilyoungarchives.com/info-card?track=t1974_1211_04
As expected, Ben Keith and Emmylou Harris make this thing glow. And the major 7th chord he sneaks under the line "We got lots of time" is a really nice touch. Will sit nicely alongside other lighthearted country/folk-mode Neil from that era like "Star of Bethlehem" and "Human Highway"--pure cozy warm-blanket music.
I've been infuriated for years that it's taken so long for Homegrown to come out, but if it's at this caliber all will be forgiven...

listen, i'm just going to be straightforward with this. i was "listening to homegrown" this morning before learning about this news, and in my screenshot excitement i didn't realize that today is 9/20/20. for some reason i saw today's date above the tracklisting (seeing how it's a news item in the neil young archives time-contrarian, with a dateline) and thought it was the release date.
sorry about that neil, your website is fantastic and it all makes a lot of sense to me
