Time Fades Away is a 1973 live album by Neil Young, consisting of previously unreleased material. Long out of print on vinyl, still unavailable on CD, and widely pirated, physical copies of the album are highly sought after.

BROADCAST RECORDING FROM 1973 S TIME FADES AWAY TOUR Following the success of Neil Young s 1972 album Harvest, a new tour with The Stray Gators - to be augmented by Danny Whitten - had been planned, but it became apparent during rehearsals that Whitten could not function due to drug abuse. On November 18, 1972, shortly after he was fired from the tour preparations, Whitten was found dead of an apparent overdose. On the tour, Young struggled with his voice and the performance of drummer Kenny Buttrey, a noted Nashville session musician who was unaccustomed to performing in the rock milieu, was deemed sub-standard. Buttrey was eventually replaced by former CSNY drummer Johnny Barbata, while David Crosby and Graham Nash contributed rhythm guitar and backing vocals to the final dates of the tour. The album assembled in the aftermath of the tour, Time Fades Away, was released in October 1973, and has often been described by Young as my least favourite record"; it was not officially released on CD until 2017. But, despite Young s disappointment with the new release, the album did contain a number of truly great songs, and this CD, recorded for FM radio broadcast on the tour from which the album was compiled, on 28th January 73, features three of the record s very finest cuts, including the title track plus Don t Be Denied and Last Dance . The rest of the show features Young classics from previous albums, his unreleased tribute to Joni Mitchell, Sweet Joni , and two numbers that would be included on his next album, 1975 s Tonight s The Night , written largely for Danny Whitten.

How do you chronicle a life, especially as a widely acclaimed musician with a thousand hair-raising stories to tell, while simultaneously and simply documenting the present moment? And why would anyone assign themselves such a task?

Over the course of eight years the band have taken both music and visuals to yet another level and while listening to their new effort you´ll be taken on a journey through the doors of time, a journey beyond the stars, beyond the birth of the worlds to an infinite universe. Epic Metal that breaks through the boundaries not only of music, but the universe! The main goal was to make an album that would be really astonishing to listen to, because the concept of time itself is simply just that: astonishing, overwhelming, staggering.
