Neil Young has dug into his video archives, looking back on Jan. 21, 1971 with a newly released archival clip of "Cowgirl in the Sand."

The performance took place at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Conn. and it is a rare glimpse of Young's After The Gold Rush era.

“This is a song I wrote about a dream I had,” the singer/guitarist says at the top of the performance . “It was snowing outside. It was the kind of show that sticks on your nose.”
