Neil Young’s 2003 and 2004 'Greendale' tour with Crazy Horse will be chronicled on "Return To Greendale", a live album and film coming out on November 6th, 2020. It will be available as a 2 CD set, a 2 LP set, or a limited edition box set with 2 LP's, 2 CD's, a BluRay of the full concert, and a documentary, "Inside Greendale", on DVD, about the creation of the album.
"Return To Greendale" is the next installment in 'Neil Young’s Performance Series' (#16) and features a concert from the historic and unique 2003 tour supporting the release of the Neil Young with Crazy Horse album "Greendale".
On the 2003 tour, Neil Young and Crazy Horse were joined on stage by a large cast of singers and actors to perform the story Neil Young wrote about the small town of Greendale, who are at the center of an impending eco disaster, alongside the songs played live by Neil and Crazy Horse. The tour was documented with a concert film, directed by Bernard Shakey, aka Neil himself.
The 10 songs from the powerful original album are performed in sequence, with the cast speaking the sung words, adding to the intensity of the performance.
