Time Fades Away - Neil Young (1973)

 

“Neil Young's 1973 ‘Time Fades Away’ is one of the most remarkable live albums ever recorded. Certainly at the time of release, it was almost unprecedented for an artist to release a live concert recording  of previously unreleased material. Long out of print on vinyl, still unavailable on CD in the early 21st century and widely bootlegged similar to the original ‘Missing 6′, the album is considered to be the ‘Holy Grail’ of all Neil Young albums. 'Time Fades Away' is the first installment of the trio of albums known as the ‘Ditch Trilogy’ along with his two other early 1970's materpieces Tonight's The Night and On The Beach. The edgy moody darkness of recording and brilliantly erratic song selection offer the portrait of the artist undergoing a deep catharsis and unraveling simultaneously. ... Key to understanding ‘Time Fades Away’ is the context within Neil Young's album discography. ...“
