Neil often wore the same clothes throughout his tours, as he still continues to do today, and the begining shot looks similar how it zooms in and all...but his facial expressions and the direction he faces and even the camera placement are different on both performances.

As for the the video of Neil in his car and that during "Old Man" is the same footage from the "Swinging mit Neil Young" documentary...so who knows.

But I believe the Massey Hall video is actual Massey Hall.

I really do hope they release the full "Swinging mit Neil Young" documentary in the archives...but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

VERY NICE!

I can hardly wait for March 13 (and then whatever else he has lined up for the fall release of Archives Vol. 1)
