Fun Facts
This disk has the most playable content of any disk in the Archives Series thus far.
There is a second "Harvest Barn Interview" Not Included on this set. It features Producer Elliot Mazer in front of the barn describing the recording techniques. It is found on the Harvest DVD-A disk. A film clip of Crosby and Stills recording their vocals on Alabama was seen in a trailer for the Archives but it was left off the release.

"Neil Young live at the BBC" was hoped for inclusion by many fans and was considered for the set but was ultimately left off. The reason for this is unknown, but it's possible that either it didn't fit on a DVD's capacity or licencing fees were exhorbitant. We just don't know. It's also baffling that "Out On The Weekend" didn't make the set in one form or another. The song was captured live both on BBC as well as the Dutch documentary "Swinging Mit Neil Young" but in both cases title graphics run over parts of the song.

A studio take of "The Bridge" and "See The Sky About to Rain" would have been appropriate for inclusion on this disk, but likewise, didn't get representation.
Errata
"War Song" is located in the wrong place on the timeline. It should be in late 1972 versus 1971.
