With over forty five years spent working in an industry that has come close to driving him nuts on many an occasion, Neil Young remains the only musical troubadour to have emerged from the post-Dylan pre-Woodstock era to remain a wholly relevant composer and performer this far into the third millennium. But as with most of his contemporaries, the man’s finest and most cherished music was recorded and released during the first decade of his career - the period covered in this film.

From his glorious work with the ever joyous Buffalo Springfield and the majestic material he recorded with CSN&Y, through classic solo album after classic solo album, this programme looks at the life and music of Neil Young during a period of incredible creativity. Using rare and classic performance footage, archive interviews and contributions from those who have worked closely with Neil, the finest critics and other key personnel, among a host of other features.
