This is a reissue of a rare title from a handmade label created by collectors for collectors, which was distributed only in very limited quantities. While copies quickly circulate these days, this item is an officially licensed reissue from the master tapes.

This is a live recording of Neil Young's solo concert from his 2010 "Twisted Road Tour." It's a superb audience recording that captures the acoustic guitar sound and vocals realistically. While Neil's performances with the band, shredding on "Old Black," are fantastic, these solos are also a major part of his appeal. The latter half features him singing and playing electric guitar. It's no coincidence that this performance sounds particularly poignant. The day before this concert, his bandmate and longtime friend, Ben Keith, passed away. His rendition of "Old Man," after introducing Ben Keith as "a longtime friend and great musician," is incredibly moving. And the ending, "Greensleeves," is unbelievably heartbreaking. Incidentally, this version of "Greensleeves" was performed by Neil himself at the Bridge School Benefit in 1991, with Ben Keith playing the steel guitar in the background. Titled "Rest in Peace Ben Keith," the album cover also features Ben Keith prominently as a tribute item.
