Neil Young & Stray Gators

continuing his ongoing live archival series, This previously unreleased recording features Neil Young with The Stray Gators performing 11 tracks live at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa on February 5th,1973.

During 1971 – 1973, between solo shows and dates with Crazy Horse, Young would switch up his sound to suit the material he would focus on when touring with The Stray Gators. This is the line-up used on ‘Harvest’ and ‘Times Fades Away’. The setlist comprises songs from Young’s self-titled 1969 debut, plus classic songs from his two most commercially successful album of his early career, ‘After The Goldrush’ (1970) and Harvest (1972). The album also contains a stunning version of the title track from ‘Time Fades Away’ that would not surface until later in 1973, as well as songs from the seminal classic ‘Tonight’s The Night’ that would eventually be released in 1975.
