Neil Young at Cantebury House, 1968

They say Neil Young has a vault, literally a vault, chock with orphaned material that’s accumulated over the years. Just in the last while he’s been cracking it open and letting it float along out. I don’t know if that’s what this is, but this is something: NPR will be streaming a full set that Young did at the Cantebury House in Ann Arbor back in 1968, possibly including a version of Sugar Mountain which people will know from the Decade compilation.

The audio will be up here at midnight tonight. An album version of the same thing will be out December 2.

The Canterbury House still exists of course, I’m not sure if it’s the same location, but it’s a good place to catch a low-key show.

Canterbury House is the Episcopal ministry at UM and is located on Huron St across from Rackham. They do a jazz mass every Sunday eve. Sometimes they do shows too.

Yeah, I’ve caught a couple of shows there and enjoyed it. “Intimate” and also free. Somebody told me that Canterbury House was in a different location back in 68 but I can’t recall where now, maybe in the basement of one of those places that’s a swank restaurant on main now.
