Young Shakespeare is a live album and concert film from American-Canadian folk rock musician Neil Young recorded in 1971, and released on March 26, 2021. Recorded three days after Live at Massey Hall 1971, during the Journey Through the Past Solo Tour.

Neil Young, nugget #776544. With Young Shakespeare, the Loner unearths a stunning concert recorded at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut on January 22, 1971, three days after the essential Live at Massey Hall 1971 released in 2007, performances from his Journey Through the Past Solo Tour. The Canadian legend’s website boldly declares that Young Shakespeare is better than Massey Hall, describing it as calmer and less flashy, having been recorded in a less prestigious venue than Massey Hall. For Young, it ranks as “the best ever, because it defines the era”. It’s an utterly apt description, with the songs and themes here capturing the dreams and nightmares shared by his generation (he was just 26). The sheer quality of the tracklisting also helps push this album into the legend zone – just read the titles! Tell Me Why, Old Man, The Needle and the Damage Done, Ohio, Dance Dance Dance, Cowgirl in the Sand, A Man Needs a Maid/Heart of Gold, Journey Through the Past, Don’t Let It Bring You Down, Helpless, Down by the River and Sugar Mountain feature Young’s guitar or piano and utterly perfect vocals. Above all, that stark nudity highlights the power of his lyrics and the beauty of these melodies. – Marc Zisman
