Product Description
Now greet the arrival of 'Sugar Mountain- Live At Canterbury House 1968,' another singular installment in the continuing Neil Young Archives Performance Series. On this CD+DVD set, recorded in Ann Arbor, MI, November 9-10, just days before the release of Young's self titled solo debut, one of the greatest singer-songwriters in rock history is heard solo and acoustic at the height of one of the must tumultuous and creative periods ever experienced both in music and culture. This set contains a CD featuring 14 tracks, a DVD disc including a high resolution audio mix of the album plus a 5 minute trailer for the archives set.
Album Description
Recorded over two nights in November 1968 at The Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Sugar Mountain album documents the launch of Neil Young's career as a solo artist following his departure from Buffalo Springfield just six months earlier. Captured on a TEAC two track tape recorder, the album offers a glimpse into the development of a legendary artist. The album includes songs written during his Buffalo Springfield tenure and newly written material for future solo albums. There are several moments of witty, engaging banter. These shows were an experiment to Neil would be received by an audience who knew him as part Buffalo Springfield. The experience erased all doubts.

 the man now and then January 7, 2009
W. Cone (Glastonbury, CT USA)
Neil Young continually amazes and this recent release of archived material is spectacular. Of course long time fans have wondered about this concert for many years but the quality and the intimate nature give a rare insight into this talented man. Having had the privalege to see his most recent tour i can tell you he is better at age 63. The release of sugar mountain at canterbury house gives that rare glimpse at then and now and who he is. The only weird thing about this package is the DVD which is the cover still photo with snow moving across the screen... that's it. Unneccessary IMO. However, that is minor, this is a must have for any music fan because it spans the years and provides fresh perspective not just for neil young but also the historical/cultural aspects as well. Buy it!
Canadian-American Primitive January 6, 2009
David (Wilmington, OH)
Years ago, when Young released the classic CD "Harvest Moon," his lyrics in the song "Natural Beauty" lamented about hearing "a perfect echo die into an anonymous wall of digital sound." Listeners will not find that "anonymous wall" in the recent release of "Sugar Mountain-Live At Canterbury House 1968." What they'll find are the stripped down raw versions of Young's songs, where the bare essence of each offering gives a pristine look into the raw genius of his songwriting. Hence, I would categorize "Sugar Mountain-Live At Canterbury House 1968 as delightfully primitive.
In an age where music is over-produced and increasingly controlled by Big Brother, this release gives us pause to distinguish between pure art and commercial art. Art is done for oneself. Commercial art is created for a mass audience. This CD is strictly art, with Young abandoning himself to the muse of emotion. Here is a rough-hewn recording that give us a rare look at how these songs might have sounded shortly after birth and leaving the safe haven of Young's own consciousness.
Some have argued in the past that Young's lyrics are self-indulgent and lyrically cryptic. Thankfully, for many of us, Young's explorations into his own emotions connect within others on a deeper level. Lest we forget, the modern age of poetry comes from the raw and primitive "first thought is best thought" intensity of Ginsberg and company, where we are asked to trust what arises in the creative muse before revision and production.
Yes, I do wish the DVD companion was the actual performance, but I'm giving it "four stars" for art. Those lamenting about sound quality are missing the point here.
 a historic moment for the fans January 6, 2009
E. De Lang (netherlands,europe.)
i.m a fan from the late sixties when i bought the second soloalbum from Neil Young,and since then i,m bying all his albums but i,m also a great fan from Crosby Stills & Nash since i'v seen Woodstock.
and i think that Neil young is a great performer with diverend styles of music.So i think that the dvd collection is a great gift and a lot of joy that the most Neil Young fans can be satisfied.

Young "the natural" January 6, 2009
R. Webb (u.s.a.)
The positive thing to say about this Neil Young Canterbury live recording is that Young shows us the true poet,musician, and entertainer that he really is,although no where near the impact of ,MASSEY HALL.- and acoustic is the natural way for Young to go about it anyway, as you listen to,THE OLD LAUGHING LADY,and, BROKEN ARROW, and then Neil takes a request from the audience and does,OUT OF MY MIND,you wonder ,where did that song come from. Probably the most interesting song on here is ,SUGAR MOUNTAIN ,Young displaying some fine acoustical work,and of course,Sugar Mountain recorded later on Young's classic ,Live Rust, and classic is this thirteen song, 1968, Live At The Canterbury House. The dvd is highway robbery ,but just forget about it and listen to Neil "the genius" Young and his poetic songs.
A young Neil Young shows great songwriting ability January 6, 2009
Russell J. Boquette
Neil Young, Sugar Mountain-Live at Canterbury house 1968. Sounds as if it could have been recorded in your living room among friends. Ok maybe it sounds a whole lot better than that but that is the vibe you get when listening to it. It is up close and very personal. A great beginning to a wonderful solo career that had been noticeably absent.
