Neil Young has proved himself to be a timeless musician countless times over his 40 year career. His 34 studio albums and his countless other projects showcase his incredible range and the variety of styles that he easily makes his own.

In the winter of 1970, Neil Young played a series of solo shows at a small club in Washington, DC. It was a place called The Cellar Door, a room that closed its doors in 1981. The 200 person club played host to many artists that we would now consider legendary, names like Jackson Browne, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, and Neil Young.
