Neil Young<\/a> has posted a second Fireside Sessions<\/a> concert on his official Archives website. Like the first edition from last week<\/a>, it was taped at the Telluride, Colorado, home he shares with his wife, actress Daryl Hannah. And like the first show, it\u2019s packed with rarities from his extensive catalog.<\/p>\n

The show begins outside in the show with Ian and Sylvia classic \u201cFour Strong Winds,\u201d which Young first covered on his 1978 LP Comes a Time<\/em>. He then steps inside to play the After the Gold Rush<\/em> ballad \u201cBirds\u201d on the piano before going into the bathroom to wash his hands. \u201cOur sponsor, folks,\u201d he says. \u201cWater and soap. That\u2019s what this is, a soap opera.\u201d<\/p>\n

The action then moves to the fireplace where he breaks out the title track to 1974\u2019s On the Beach<\/em>. He played it with Promise of the Real at a show in Belgium last summer, but it\u2019s the first solo acoustic rendition since 2003 and only the fourth time he\u2019s done it since 1975. It\u2019s a devastating rendition where lyrics like \u201cThe world is turning\/I hope it don\u2019t turn away\u201d have never felt so appropriate.<\/p>\n

After demonstrating how he made a homemade harmonica holder, he performs the 1974 studio outtake \u201cHomefires\u201d and then the Harvest<\/em> cut \u201cWords.\u201d This is quite possibly the first time he\u2019s ever done the epic song without a band. He wraps up the night with \u201cLove and Only Love\u201d from Ragged Glory<\/em>, another one he\u2019s never done solo acoustic.<\/p>\n

Young was originally going to tour with Crazy Horse this spring, but the coronavirus derailed those plans. Like many of his peers, he is using this time to perform for his fans via the internet. He has indicated the Fireside Sessions will be an ongoing series.<\/p>\n
