Mr Young is certainly knocking these “from the vaults” albums out at a fair old rate, (why don’t you give someone else a chance Neil?). Recorded just a couple of days after the Massey Hall show at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut & featuring the same songs apart from “Sugar Mountain” & although the sound is taken from a film, the quality is excellent. There are a couple of cuts in the show, so know is any songs were missed out. Young say's that he was a lot more relaxed at this show compared to Massey Hall, which comes across in between the songs, with Neil making jokes & even playfully telling off the audience during “Sugar Mountain” because they're not singing along to a song most of them have never heard before. It is incredible feet that Young can captivate his audience for an entire show with just a guitar or piano (although personnel I prefer when Neil rocks out), “Helpless” & “Ohio” are mesmerizing & “Dance Dance Dance” has some audience clapping & foot stomping. If you already own the Massey Hall concert “Young Shakespeare” isn’t an essential purchase, but this still a remarkably assured performance from a singer/songwriter who would go on to dominate the rest of the seventies.
