Neil Young & The Stray Gators - Toronto 1973 (2017)

Fascinating Broadcast Recording From The Legendary Neil Young 1973 "Time Fades Away" album Tour! This release features a set list that includes five numbers from the Time Fades Away album (albeit in different versions to those included on the record that would appear in the shops in November '73) alongside a handful from "Harvest" and others from earlier LPs. The "Time Fades Away" Tour began on 4th January '73 in Madison, Wisconsin; it was fraught from start to finish. Young would later describe it as one of the unhappiest times of his life and the worst tour of his career. However, the show performed at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens on 15th January, recorded for live FM broadcast and now featured on this release in its entirety, sounds far from chaotic and forms a fascinating document of a legendary tour from which a full performance has rarely been heard.
