Neil Young & Crazy Horse Perform 'Cinnamon Girl' Live in HD (1991)

Date: 1991

In January 1991, Neil Young was in the midst of the "Ragged Glory" tour, supporting the album "Ragged Glory," which had been released in September 1990. This album marked a significant return to a more electric sound for Young, showcasing his work with Crazy Horse and highlights of a loud, raw rock aesthetic. During this period, Young embraced heavy distortion and powerful guitar riffs, resonating with the grunge movement that was gaining momentum. The performance of “Cinnamon Girl” captured in the live recording exemplifies this high-energy approach, appealing to both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners. Additionally, the album "Weld," which features live recordings from the tour, was released later in 1991, further solidifying the impact of this era in Young's prolific career.
