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 Luminato, a new generation of musicians, hand-picked by producer David Spelman, and led by Juno Award winning music director Kevin Breit, recreated that landmark concert, performing their own distinctive arrangements of the album's eighteen classic songs.
Here is your chance to take in a moment in musical history that was every bit as magical as the one that inspired it!
