Expecting To Fly) Setlist from Sugar Mountain: http://www.cruzio.com/~tah/sugarmtn.html Review from the Old Grey Cat: http://www.geocities.com/%7Eoldgreycat/csny/neillondon.htm It says something about his confidence in himself that at this February 27th, 1971 solo concert Neil included 11 new songs among a 20-song set. Or is that 21-song set? According to Johnny Rogan's book The Visual Documentary, "Flying on the Ground Is Wrong" was also performed that night but, alas, it's not included here. What is here, however, is pure genius. Presenting himself in the singer-songwriter mode then in vogue, Neil shapes a delicate and incisive set for an appreciative--and quiet--audience. Compare this set to, say, later solo Neil, and what comes across most is the slow dissolve of innocence and the dwelling on the down and dour; but, of course, that "dissolve" is the domain (primarily) of the young, and here it's captured by one of the best equipped chroniclers of such stuff in the arts today. It doesn't matter, really, how rich or poor you are, whether you're a rock star or a kid just out for a good time--eventually, life catches up to you. Typical for a Neil show, highlights abound: "Journey Through the Past" and a drop-dead, beautiful "Love in Mind" are two such moments. Quite a few songs that eventually surfaced on Harvest are also presented minus that album's MOR-ish sheen. Shorn of embellishments, "Old Man," "Out on the Weekend," "Heart of Gold," "A Man Needs a Maid," "Harvest" and "The Needle & the Damage Done" come across as what they, in truth, are: songs from a young man's soul. The sound quality is stellar throughout, with a minimum of hiss and audience noise. Even the most novice fan would/should enjoy it. (A) seeded by mrz
