Neil Young is releasing a 50th anniversary edition of 'After the Gold Rush' later this year, including film of a 1971 solo, acoustic show

, Reprise Records is planning a deluxe rerelease to celebrate. It’ll be the first album in Young’s catalog to receive such a treatment.

The album might be paired with a concert filmed at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, on January 22nd, 1971, just three days after his famous performance at Massey Hall in Toronto. “While Massey Hall was a homecoming for me and meant so much a the time, luckily recorded on a 7.5 ips tape recorder by David Briggs — it was not filmed,” Young writes. “At the time, Massey Hall was for me my best early acoustic performance to date.

He released Massey Hall on CD in 2007, although it had circulated as a bootleg for decades. Fans considered it his definitive solo acoustic concert from theera, a view that Young shared until very recently: “In fact, today as we listen and compare, [producer] John Hanlon and I both feel ‘Shakespeare’ is superior to our beloved ‘Massey Hall.’ A more calm performance, without the celebratory atmosphere of Massey Hall, captured live on 16mm film. ‘Young Shakespeare’ is a very special event.

Bits and pieces of the film have been seen over the years, but Hanlon and has team recently reassembled the entire thing drawing from old 16 mm work prints and lost tapes they rediscovered, including some from a German TV show. Young is calling it the “earliest known film of any of my performances,” but he seems to be discounting a June 5th, 1970 show at the Café Feenjon in New York City along with CSNY’s stand at the Fillmore East that same year.
