Chuck Lewis started his career in sound in the late fifties at Otto K. Olsen in Hollywood. While working there, he was the soundman/sound mixer for red carpet premiers at Grauman's Theater.In the sixties, Chuck was in charge of working at and overseeing performances at both the Hollywood Bowl and the Music Center.Chuck did sound for all types of performances; rock, jazz, classical, stand up, and theater. He worked with everyone from the Beatles to Baryshnikov. Chuck did have his favorites some of which were Robert Goulet, Groucho Marx, Don Rickles, Frank Sinatra, and Florence Henderson. In his later years, he worked solely for the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as sound director and overseeing the Center Theater Group.

Several years after Chuck's passing his children started to clear out his garage. Chuck had a sound rental business for a few years after he retired and his children were selling the sound equipment. They came across several boxes of reel to reel tapes that they had no idea existed. Among these tapes there was everything from rock, jazz, stand up, classical, and plays. These tapes feature live recordings that have gone untouched and unheard for 45 years or more.

Neil Young is one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. From the beginning of his solo career in the late '60s through to the 21st century, he never stopped writing, recording, and performing.

Young has continually explored new musical territory, from rockabilly and the blues to electronic music. But these stylistic exercises only gained depth when compared to his two primary styles: gentle folk and country-rock, and crushingly loud electric guitar rock, which he frequently recorded with the California garage band Crazy Horse. Despite his enormous success Young continues to move forward, writing new songs and exploring new music to this day.
