Limited deluxe edition include two CDs, DVD, and Blu-ray. 2020 release. Return to Greendale is the next installment in Neil Young's Performance Series (#16) and features a concert (audio & on film) 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 and how a dramatic event affects the people living there. The ten songs from the powerful original album are performed in sequence, with the cast speaking the sung words - adding to the intensity of the performance.
Neil earned rapturous and well-deserved praise for his 2003 concept album "Greendale," and also for its companion film and the tour that combined live performances of the album’s songs with actors on stage and scenes from the movie. Now, as part of his "Performance Series," Neil is releasing stellar live recordings from that 2003 tour: "Falling from Above," "Devil’s Sidewalk," "Bandit," "Sun Green," "Be the Rain" and more. You’ll hear those Neil Young & Crazy Horse performances on 2 CDs or double vinyl, and the CDs and LPs also come inside the numbered, limited-edition deluxe box you see here. Also in the box: a Blu-Ray of the concert film and the DVD "Inside Greendale," a documentary about the making of the album. Contempt for corruption, love of the environment, respect for our elders—this is what Neil has been singing about for decades, and those are the themes of "Greendale," his evocative portrait of a small seaside town that still packs a wallop.
