Info for Young Shakespeare (Live Remastered)

Just two months after the release of his seminal After the Gold Rush, Neil Young sat down for a performance at The Shakespeare Theater on January 22, 1971. The Stratford, CT show captures the artist stripped down to the bare essentials—acoustic guitar, piano, and harmonica.

The concert was recorded for presentation on German TV later that year but was not publicly available until now. The original 50 year-old analog tapes have been lovingly restored, making available early acoustic recordings of two After the Gold Rush songs, early Harvest tunes, and beloved favorites such as “Ohio,” “Cowgirl in the Sand,” “Helpless,” “Down by the River,” and “Sugar Mountain.”

Neil Young
Born on November 12, 1945, in Toronto, Neil Young is a musician, singer-songwriter, and filmmaker, and is considered one of the most influential figures in rock music. He began his career in the 1960s with the band Buffalo Springfield and later performed with Crazy Horse, as well as solo and with other artists. His distinctive style blends folk, rock, country, and grunge. Albums such as *After the Gold Rush* (1970) and *Harvest* (1972)—featuring the classic "Heart of Gold"—rank among the milestones of his discography. In addition to his music, Young is known for his social activism. He has held U.S. citizenship since 2020 but continues to live partly in Canada.
