Neil Young Live, 1968
Neil Young was just a few days shy of his 23rd birthday when he took the stage at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Mich., for what would become a legendary performance. It was 1968, and Young was about to release his self-titled debut solo album. His old band, Buffalo Springfield, had split up six months earlier, and few people even knew who Young was. But to his own surprise, and to the surprise of the Canterbury House, Young drew a sold-out audience.
This intimate, all acoustic performance has a scheduled release date of December 2, but you can listen to it streaming courtesy of NPR Music.

Great set. Neil is a great listen in whatever decade he happens to be playing in.
