Reprise Records to release Neil Young's "Dreamin' Man Live '92"

As part of its ongoing Archives Performance Series with legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young, Reprise Records will release Dreamin’ Man Live ’92, on December 8, 2009, on CD, while the vinyl pressing will be released on January 12, 2010.
