AboutNeil Young – Time Fades Away
Genre: Rock
Style: Blues Rock, Folk Rock
Year: 1973
Notes:
Time Fades Away is taken from a tour in 1973, a tough time for Young, right after the death of Danny Whitten.
The tour lasted about 3 months and saw Young and his band (Ben Keith, Jack Nitzsche, Tim Drummond, Kenny Buttrey and later John Barbata) travel throughout the USA and parts of Canada, playing full-sized arenas with between 15 and 19 thousand people in the audience. During the tour, the band played a lot of Harvest songs, but the live album consists of new material.
Time Fades Away is a 1973 live album by Canadian / American musician Neil Young. Consisting of previously unreleased material, it was recorded with The Stray Gators on the support tour following 1972's highly successful Harvest. Due to Young's dissatisfaction with the tour, it was omitted from his catalogue and not released on CD until 2017.
Nevertheless, Time Fades Away received much critical praise and was widely pirated after lapsing out of print because of the ensuing demand from fans. It was initially reissued on vinyl only as part of the Official Release Series Discs 5-8 Vinyl Box Set for Record Store Day in 2014. The album finally saw an official CD release in August 2017 as part of the CD version of the boxset. It was also made available as a digital download for purchase through the PonoMusicWorld website (closed), the iTunes store and Qobuz. In 2020 it is available on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music
Cameron Crowe pays homage to both the album itself and the Joel Bernstein album cover photograph in his movie Almost Famous. In great detail, as the lights go down during Stillwater's first concert performance of the movie, the short scene recreates the cover, from the raised hand of the concert-goer, to the solitary rose at the edge of the stage.
