Release Round-Up: Week of October 1

October 1, 2021 By The Second Disc Leave a Comment

Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up!

Neil Young Carnegie Hall 1970

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Neil Young, Official Bootleg Series Vol. 1: Carnegie Hall 1970 (Reprise/Shakey Pictures Records)

2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

The Neil Young Official Bootleg Series launches with Carnegie Hall 1970, featuring Young's debut at the venerable venue on December 4, 1970 (the early show).  Carnegie Hall 1970 will arrive on double vinyl, double CD, and digital formats (including high resolution), with the promise of five more Bootleg titles coming in 2022.  The solo performance was captured on analog multitrack tape and mixed for this release by Young and Niko Bolas.  It was the first of two shows that evening; the second began at midnight on the morning of December 5.   The midnight show has been bootlegged numerous times over the years, but the "lost" early show is considered by Young to be the stronger of the two.  Songs include "Ohio," "Old Man," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Southern Man," "Helpless," "Cinnamon Girl," and Buffalo Springfield's "On the Way Home," "Flying on the Ground Is Wrong," "I Am a Child," and "Expecting to Fly."  Read more here.

Abdulla, and vibraphonist Woody Murray.  The styles range from freeform ("Those Who Chant") annd Latin (Kenny Dorham's "Blue Bossa") to a funky reworking of a standard ("Summertime" from Porgy and Bess).  This would be Bishop Jr.'s final album for Black Jazz.  Available on CD and vinyl.
