Sad Movies: The Secret History of Neil Young / 1973-1978

JBNYsunn

Dig into an assortment of choice live recordings from Neil Young’s peak 70s period — the period that will presumably be covered by the next volume of the songwriter’s Archives series … whenever that comes out. Drawn mostly from vintage audience tapes, the focus here is on unreleased tunes (of which this is just a small sampling) and interesting re-arranged versions of classics, such as a solo acoustic “LA” from 1973, or Crazy Horse’s raggedly glorious version of “Helpless” in 1976.

  1. Awesome. I loved the Ducks stuff you posted a while back – what a great time to see live music.

  2. Praying for a Ducks Archives release one day. That version of “Little Wing” is some of the most sublime stuff Neil ever recorded.

    Track down their version of “Gypsy Wedding” for some of the most smokin’ leads Neil has ever played!
