Neil Young - "Time Fades Away"
This is a live record that only came out on vinyl and is from the tour that Neil Young did right after Harvest. Everyone came to the shows wanting to hear the hits like "Harvest", "Old Man" and prolly even the stinker "Every Man Needs A Maid" but just to be a dick he didn't play any songs off Harvest on that whole tour. Neil's punk and he's psyched to sing about Canada on this record. From the first line of the title track (which starts the record off with the line "14 junkies too weak to work"), you know this record is gonna be raw. Yeah dudes, this record smokes like Chong! Oh and The Black Crowes covered the song "LA" off this one of the nights I saw em play in Los Angeles if that means anything to you. "LA... Uptight.... city in the Smog... don'tcha wish that you could be here too?" Fuck yeah you do.
(Download - "Time Fades Away")
Hipsters are too scared to listen to this record.
Poor them.
Unreal.
The guy who ripped this to MP3 for the first time is a national hero.

The first two songs are encoded "NY-LA.mp3". There are three versions of the same song. Someone fix this please.

These 4 tracks posted at the top are FAR BETTER QUALITY than the quality of the tracks posted at the link above (http://www.the-grotto.com/talk/thread.jsp?forum=1&thread=5075&message=17837). If you click the link, be prepared for some scratches, some hiss, and a high-pitched squeal barely audible throughout the whole ripping.
This album is one of Neil's best...if only someone could post the rest of the songs in the same quality as the 4 at the top...but thanks for at least getting those up there...I too have it on vinyl and have wanted good quality CD versions for a while...so thanks

The Black Crowes cover the track LA. They played it last night at the Greek theater in LA. I had never heard the song before and stumbled on this page by searching for song lyrics etc. Waiting for the download.

Neil's best? Maybe. I listened to this album when it first came out. It heralded the spilt between the Neil fans who loved his acoustic work, and the rest of us. Time Fades is a scare to those mellow sensibilities. Not as dark, I think, as Tonight's the Night, but damn great. I've had these songs in my head for over 25 years and finally hear them again---Thanks--now let's get this one on CD!!!

I have the rest of the album, but cannot find any info on how to put it on the site. If someone can please help me with this, I'll put the rest of the songs up asap. Thanks!!
