Neil Young Dreamin' Man Live '92 on 180g LP

Newest Archive Performance Series Set Chronicles Onstage Solo Acoustic Readings of Songs That Became Harvest Moon

All Acoustic: Intimate, Detailed Sonics Will Leave You Breathless

Young at His Most Heartfelt and Personal: Utterly Beautiful

Neil Young has topped himself again. Dreamin' Man Live ’92, the newest release in Young’s unprecedented Archive Performance Series, sheds unmitigated insight and offers an intimate perspective on the ten songs that became 1992’s mulitiplatinum Harvest Moon. Recorded at various venues at which the legendary artist tested out material in advance of recording in the studio, the ten selections include the poignant “Such a Woman,” reflective “Hank to Hendrix,” and stirring “War of Man.” For the first time ever, these tunes are presented in stripped-down form. Performed solo and acoustic, Young’s emotional readings and minimalist arrangements make Dreamin’ Man Live ’92 a stunningly unique live document that also sounds absolutely tremendous. This is a must not only for Young fans but essential for anyone who prizes mellow, acoustic folk.

Originally released in late October 1992, Harvest Moon became Young’s most commercially successful album in more than a decade. A sequel to 1972’s iconic Harvest, the album resonated with conviction, honesty, regret, and wistful beauty. And so it goes here, but to a greater degree. Dreamin’ Man Live ’92 presents these gorgeously crafted songs in an alternative sequencing and setting, sans accompaniment, allowing their earnest feelings, bittersweet moods, and soul-searching elements to come across with unfettered directness. Of course, there’s also Young’s near note-perfect playing and subtle improvisation on guitar, banjo, and piano. And the production is equally amazing.

Recorded and mixed by Tim Mulligan, and produced by Young and John Hanlon, the songs float and take on a you-are-there quality. Every pick of the strings, strike of the piano, and breath of Young’s vocals is delicately balanced and impossibly detailed. On this 180g audiophile LP, the deep soundstage reflects that of the small halls at which Young auditioned the material. The tones, microtones, frequencies, and dynamics will leave you breathless.

Don’t delay. Experience one of the best-sounding live, acoustic albums ever released. Featuring impeccable sonics and heartfelt performances, Dreamin’ Man Live ’92 joins Live at Massey Hall as requisite analog listening. Be prepared to be transported to a small club, where Young sits in front of you on a stool and ravishes your senses with the some of the most personal music of his career.
