Following on from the John Martyn video last week, it's worthwhile noting that Neil Young has released a recording of his 1971 gig at Massey Hall in Toronto. It's a 17-song collection where everything is stripped down to showcase the flawless voice of Young. It really doesn't get any better than this. Powerful lyrics, very unique melodies and a singing voice that sends neckhair shoot up makes this a must-have CD/DVD.

Any time I listen to Harvest or indeed Tom Waits's Closing Time, it reminds me of my final year in uni.
