The next chapter of Neil Young<\/a>\u2019s ongoing archival series will spotlight a concert he played with the Stray Gators at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on February 5th, 1975. Titled simply TUSCALOOSA<\/em>, it will come out June 7th on a single CD and a three-sided vinyl album with etched artwork on side four.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s from the period right around Harvest<\/em> and Tonight\u2019s the Night<\/em>,\u201d Young told Rolling Stone<\/em> earlier this year.<\/a> \u201cFor me, it\u2019s edgy. It\u2019s like those mellow songs with an edge. It\u2019s really trippy to be down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and singing those songs from Harvest and the songs that we were doing for Time Fades Away before it came out. I found this thing and it had such a great attitude to it. I just loved the whole night, so I put that together with [engineer] John Hanlon.\u201d<\/p>\n

This tour was previously documented on the live LP Times Fades Away<\/em>, but that was recorded after original Stray Gators drummer Kenny Buttrey left the group and was replaced by Johnny Barbata. This show is from the Buttrey period. It is also incomplete since they played about 20 songs most nights and this set just features 11. According to Hanlon, the show tape didn\u2019t capture the whole thing and \u201cThe Loner\u201d was out of tune and \u201cOn The Way Home\u201d was simply on too many other live albums.<\/p>\n
