Larry "L.A." Johnson, a documentary filmmaker who worked closely with Neil Young for four decades after meeting the rocker at Woodstock while working on the concert film about the 1969 rock festival, died Thursday at his home in Redwood City, Calif. He was 62.
He earned an Academy Award nomination for his sound editing work on the 1970 film documentary on Woodstock, where Young had played with rock's then-new supergroup of Crosby Stills Nash & Young. During his subsequent 40-year association with Young, Johnson worked on projects from 1974's "Journey Through the Past" to last year's release of “Neil Young Archives: Volume I.”
