Live at Massey Hall 1971 is a live album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young. Released in 2007, the album features a solo acoustic performance by Young at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 19 January 1971 during his Journey Through the Past Solo Tour. It is the second release in Young's Archives Performance Series.[10]
The album reached #1 in Canada with 11,000 units sold in its first week. It debuted at #9 on the Irish Charts, #30 on the UK albums chart, and #6 on the Billboard 200 on 31 March 2007, with 57,000 copies sold. It spent 11 weeks on the latter chart, and in 2009 was named by Fretbase as the second-best album featuring a singer-songwriter on acoustic guitar of all time.[11] The CD release is paired with a DVD featuring footage from a performance at the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut.
