Recorded in Nagoya on March 3, 1976, during Young’s first Japanese tour
Solo acoustic songs followed by Crazy Horse; imported double LP, catalog DBQP46
For fans of: Crazy Horse, Buffalo Springfield, Dinosaur Jr.
The Nagoya performance finds Neil Young working through both sides of his music: intimate solo songs and the loose, grinding electricity of Crazy Horse. The acoustic portion includes “Tell Me Why,” “Mellow My Mind” and “After the Gold Rush,” before the band joins for material including “Country Home” and “Don’t Cry No Tears.”
The electric set stretches into “Down by the River,” “Like a Hurricane” and “Cortez the Killer,” giving the group space to settle into the repetition and guitar interplay that define its live sound. Recorded at the start of the 1976 Japanese dates, this two-record edition documents an important period in the Young/Crazy Horse partnership.
