99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating our first year on the air: 1971.
That year Neil Young hit the road for a solo tour that came to The American Shakespeare Festival Theatre and Academy in Stratford. Unfortunately The Shakespeare Theatre is no longer around (it sadly burned to the ground in January 2019), but the recording of this show lives on. In March 2021 Neil Young released a live album and concert film entitled “Young Shakespeare” from that ’71 show in Stratford.
