Neil Young - Time Fades Away (50th Anniversary) [Clear Vinyl]

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Neil Young's very first live album Time Fades Away with this expanded audiophile edition that includes the track "The Last Trip To Tulsa" (originally released as a B-side to the 1973 single of "Time Fades Away").

The fifth release of Neil Young's ongoing Archives official release series, Time Fades Away was originally released in 1973 following the previous years hugely successful Harvest. He is backed on the album by The Stray Gators, the band who played on Harvest that includes the superb musicians Ben Keith, Jack Nitzsche, and Tim Drummond; David Crosby and Graham Nash also feature as special guest musicians.

"The tour was about three months and it was my very first big tour, traveling throughout the USA and parts of Canada, playing full sized arenas with between 15 and 19 thousand people in the audience. We had never done this before and neither had many other people. Our PA was lifted on towers on either side of the stage, not like today's tours where everything hangs from the ceiling of the building. The monitors, which were to allow me to hear what I was singing, were not big enough and I had to sing very loud just to hear myself. Again, no one had done this before at the time and we were blazing some new ground in 1973. You can hear it in my voice. We played a lot of Harvest songs on the tour but I wanted to make a live album of new material. That is what Time Fades Away is... Elliot Mazer produced and did a great job in the truck we carried to all the shows." - Neil Young
