A Treasure is a live album by Neil Young, released on June 14, 2011. It features performances from his 1984-1985 U.S. tour with the International Harvesters. It contains five previously unreleased songs (tracks 1,5,8,11,12). The album is volume nine in Young's Archives Performance Series and the sixth to be released.[3]
According to Neil, the album's name comes from Ben Keith. "I hadn't heard these takes in 25 years, but when we unearthed them co-producer Ben Keith said, 'This is a treasure.'" [4]
