Live on Sugar Mountain Release Source

There's been some speculation about what exactly the upcoming release of "Live On Sugar Mountain" will be based on. Scheduled for release on September 29, the next installment of the Archives Performance Series has been rumored to be 1969 The Riverboat shows or a variation of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion concert in Los Angeles on the last night of Neil Young's early-1971 solo tour.



After receiving a pretty good tip that the answer was laid out in Pete Long's indispensable Ghosts On The Road - Neil Young In Concert and some digging around, we've concluded that "Live On Sugar Mountain" is from the Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan concerts on November 9 & 10, 1968.

From Ghosts On The Road - Neil Young In Concert:

"Five of the six sets were recorded and the live version of Sugar Mountain that has appeared on the B-side of many of young's singles comes from November 10."
