Neil Young - BBC in Concert, London, Britain, 2-23-1971

These days, as I write this in 2022, there's a lot of excellent officially released Neil Young concert material from the late 1970 and early 1971 time period. If you're a casual fan and have one or more of those, you probably don't need this. The sound quality here is excellent, as is the performance. But it's only 28 minutes long, and all the songs are on most of those official albums. But if you're a serious Neil Young fan, there are very few bootlegs that sound as good as this one does. 

I'm posting it because, like the Carole King one I just posted, I want to get all the "In Concert" albums I have out there, so I can ask help for the ones I still don't have.

There's a website called "Sugar Mountain" (https://www.sugarmtn.org) that aspires to have all the information about the set lists for all of Young's concerts. I looked up this show and discovered that there were some songs that didn't get broadcast. Specifically, he also played:

Cowgirl in the Sand
I Am a Child
There's a Word
The Needle and the Damage Done
Tell Me Why

 I suspect that if he played those extra songs, other artists who performed for the "In Concert" TV show around this time also did extra songs. Unfortunately, in Young's case, and most or all of those other cases, the extra songs seem to be lost.

What I find interesting is that, of the songs that were chosen for broadcast, the vast majority would have been unfamiliar at the time. Of course, in 1972, "Heart of Gold" would be a number one song in the US, and his album "Harvest" would sell millions. But that was 1972, and this was still early 1971. "Harvest" wound up getting delayed due to Young getting injured and some other issues. So even if the actual broadcast of this didn't take place until months later, the audience still wouldn't have known most of the songs. Plus, "Journey through the Past," "Love in Mind," and "Dance, Dance, Dance" wouldn't come out until even later. So probably "Don't Let It Bring You Down" would have been the only familiar song!

For this cover, I did pretty much exactly what I did for the cover of the Carole King concert I just posted. This concert also can be found on YouTube. So I took a screenshot from that video for the cover art. For the text, I used the same font and colors as the opening screen of that video, though I added in the red line at the bottom.
