The Canadian Songbook: A Tribute to Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall
Relive a milestone in Canadian music history.
On January 19, 1971, Canada's legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young gave a solo concert at Toronto's Massey Hall. Audiences there heard for the first time several of the iconic songs that would later appear on his albums, including his best-selling LP Harvest - yet the live concert recording itself wasn't released until 2007.
"There is in Young so much talent and so much quiet charm that he's bound to stick around for a long time, maturing and writing and rewarding his audiences." Jack Batten, Globe and Mail, Massey Hall concert review, January 20, 1971
Now, as part of the Festival-wide Guitar Festival, a new generation of musicians, led by Juno Award winning music director Kevin Breit, will recreate that landmark concert, performing their own distinctive arrangements of the album's eighteen classic songs.
Don't miss your chance to be part of a moment in musical history that promises to be every bit as magical as the one that inspired it!
