I was initially bummed that this was another acoustic release in the vein of "Live at Massey Hall 1971", but at least this is some early Young, playing the old pre-Crazy Horse stuff, something I haven't heard any bootlegs of.
I assume this is also where the "Sugar Mountain" recording from Decade came from?..
Some interesting songs in there. I think Neil is going to constantly delay the Archives while releasing all this other stuff, until one day The Archives will have been released, but secretly. It would be a very Neil thing to do.
