The second release in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series is from Massey Hall in Toronto 1971. The original set lists for the two shows were:

19/01/71, Massey Hall (Early show), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

19/01/71 Massey Hall (Late show), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

On The Way Home / Tell Me Why / Old Man / Journey Through The Past / Helpless / Love In Mind / A Man Needs A Maid/Heart Of Gold / Cowgirl In The Sand / Don't Let It Bring You Down / There's A World / Bad Fog Of Loneliness / The Needle And The Damage Done / Ohio / See The Sky About To Rain / Down By The River / Dance, Dance, Dance / I Am A Child

I've no idea whether the release will be a complete show or an edit of both shows. It may also of course be a cut of the best tracks, similar to the Crazy Horse Fillmore show from 1970. Either way it's cool that Neil's finally got his finger out and cranked the archive release programme into gear. Strong rumours also are flying around that the first instalment of the archive box set will be out later in the year. Currently being touted as a 8 CD set with 2 DVD's, mainly containing unreleased material. Can't wait!
