UncutNov 27, 2024Freshness shines through on this vivacious eight-track recording of 17 songs, here reproduced in flawless quality – all analogue, promises Young, who mixed the record with Stills. It sounds like a dream. [Dec 2024, p.47]

Nov 27, 2024Live at the Fillmore East, 1969 features two sets, one acoustic and one electric, released here on two sparkling, exquisite-sounding LPs. ....

Nov 27, 2024Thanks to some multitrack tapes of exceptional quality, mixed by Young and Stills, we get to hear what all the justified fuss was about. Divided between acoustic and electric sets, this is a joy from start to finish. [Dec 2024, p.85]
