Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Recorded in Michigan in 1968, Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain concert at Canterbury House was performed during a transitional period for the singer-songwriter. Buffalo Springfield had recently dissolved and the 21-year-old Young was tentatively feeling his way towards a solo career. There are no orchestral embellishments here – it’s literally just Young, his guitar and a steady flow of stories and audience banter. Versions of “Mr Soul” and “Expecting to Fly” are stripped right down to the basics, and Buffalo Springfield tracks like "Broken Arrow" and “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing” are rendered more naked and honest in the same way. These songs are punctuated with newer material like “The Old Laughing Lady,” and "Birds" (which would show up on After The Gold Rush a couple of years later), as well as the singer’s often amusing anecdotes, which range from the rigors of owning a Bentley to being sacked from a bookstore for being high on “diet pills”. While not as immersive as Live At Massey Hall, Sugar Mountain is an alluring profile of a singer on the cusp of an outstanding career. --Danny McKenna

Don't buy this if you are expecting a video of the performance. It is just a DVD with a single picture on the screen and audio.

That's partly my fault in that I prefer electric to acoustic Neil Young, which isn't to say I don't enjoy a lot of it. However, this acoustic performance is one of the ones I don't. Unusually for Young on stage he hardly ever shuts up which wastes a lot of the running time and greatly distracted me from the music which I might, just might, have otherwise enjoyed.
I received it on Monday when I listened to it and copied it to my Ipod. Tuesday I listed it on Amazon marketplace and sold it on Wednesday. Didn't bother to watch the dvd. Hope my buyer likes it more than I did.

Buffalo Springfield could have been a very big band indeed. Nevertheless, due to infighting and Neil Young's continual restlessnness, they became a group lauded only by musos. Hence the slightly nervous and goofy chatter that punctuates this release; Neil Young's future was by no means certain. Indeed his first album would sell poorly and, just like Bob Dylan, would quickly release a magnificent follow up in an attempt to cancel it out.
This concert from 1968 predates that first album and indeed appears to be a very rare early solo venture fresh out of Springfield's security. The chatter shouldn't come as such a surprise, his humour was evident all through Massey Hall though in an albeit more subdued sense. The music is genuinely what counts and here we have such a collection of songs that we are only likely to hear Neil sing live on this cd/dvd and that makes it such an attractive buy.
On The Way Home kicks it off, the same as Massey Hall as it happens. The version here doesn't ... Read More

This new release raises big questions about Young's overall CD catalogue. The usual excuse, that it is `one for the fans', is in no longer enough.
Firstly the extended `rap' between tracks is banal, twee, and completely unnecessary. Fortunately it is mostly in separate tracks and can be deleted. However this obliterates nearly half the length of the CD. Secondly, the tape hiss is so intrusive that when listening on an ipod, it spoils the quieter tracks. Thirdly, it has little of young's later guitar mix of finger picking and chords, and is mostly a sort of strum- along demo. Fourth, like Massey Hall, he has yet to master the coordination of voice, guitar and harmonica, which is absent, leaving gaps. Fifth, this version of the title track was released before, on Decade, so why do so again?
As a fan I don't regret buying it. It is amazing how the simple, chord changes and nuances developed into the full productions on subsequent albums.
However this ... Read More

The great thing about all these archive releases so far is the amount of care and loving attention to detail that has obviously gone into their creation. This is hardly a rush release- Neil Young is not taking advantage of the near mythic status of the archives to line his purse. I get the distinct impression that this is very much a labour of love - hence the ridiculously long waits.
The quality of the actual recordings is augmented by the quality of the presentation. The fact that this particular release seems to only be available in a combo CD/ DVD version shows that Neil wants people to enjoy this release in its optimum format.
I think the archives so far has been something special, not something that we have ever really seen before in these type of releases. Neil Young is breaking new ground here and we're all along for the ride!
