Neil Young & The Gate Crashers - Macky Auditorium, Boulder, 27th January 1971

"Neil Young & The Gate Crashers" is a bootleg of his 1971 "Journey Through The Past" solo tour, recorded in Boulder, Colorado, Macky Auditorium, University of Colorado, 27th January, 1971. It is a typical acoustic set with 11 tracks. This is Pprobably not the complete show (complete setlist is uncertain). This one is clearly from vinyl because there's the typical scratching you hear from those old fashioned albums. This acoustic (piano/guitar) concert was released on different bootlegs, for example "Rocky Mountain Review".

Tracklist: Ohio, See The Sky About To Rain, Don't Let It Bring You Down, Dance, Dance, Dance, Sugar Mountain, Old Man, Journey Through The Past, Heart Of Gold, A Man Needs A Maid, Love In Mind, The Needle And The Damage Done

Here´s a review from http://druglessdouglas.com/ that lifts the secret about the Gate Crashers:

"This show was in the beautiful Mackey Auditorium on the University of Colorado campus. (I ended up going to college there, and I took my chemistry exams there, too. Ugh!) I went with my friend, Charlie Stice (see Passion For Radio), who was a big Neil fan -- he turned me on to Buffalo Springfield.

Neil played solo -- acoustic guitar and piano. This was over a year before "Harvest" was released, but Neil played several songs from that upcoming album. There was no warm-up act.

During the show, we couldn't figure out why there were so many dishes being broken out in the lobby. At the end of the show, we were asked to leave through the side doors. We found out then that those "breaking dishes" were actually breaking windows -- there was a riot by those who didn't have tickets. So much for peace, love and tie-dye."
