Live at the Cellar Door is a live album by Neil Young, featuring performances from his six 1970 concerts in Washington D.C.[7] It was released on December 10, 2013. The album is volume 02.5 in Young's Archives Performance Series.[8] Live at the Cellar Door features songs from multiple early albums created by Young, as well as Buffalo Springfield which include: After the Gold Rush, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Buffalo Springfield (album) and Buffalo Springfield Again.
Additionally, the album features the only known recording of Young performing his classic "Cinnamon Girl" on piano. As stated by his comment on the disc "That's the first time I've ever performed that song on Piano!"
The album closes with the stunning piano track: "Flying on the Ground is Wrong" in which Young humoursly quips: "I had it put in my contracts that I would only play on a nine foot Steinway Grand Piano, just for a little eccentricity."[9]
