As detailed last week, Neil Young's 1st 6 ‘Official Bootleg’ releases have been announced on NYA's Surf Shack, including Under The Rainbow - Nov 3, 1973, with a tentative release schedule of April 2021.
In somewhat uncharacteristic -- yet classic Neil fashion -- the album cover image shows the title and date as *Somewhere Under The Rainbow - Nov 5*, 1973. So go figure.
Neil Young w/ The Eagles - Rainbow Theater, London Nov. 5, 1973
From NYA's Surf Shack:
The Santa Monica Flyers at The Rainbow Theater in London. This is a very unique audience recording.
For our NYA official Bootleg series, the Volume Dealers have remastered in the Surf Shack from tape and the sound is like nothing else.
The Flyer’s performance is mindless. Free. These are the kind of shows you get after being on the road for quite a while. . .
Ralph’s drumming in unbelievable. Nils and Ben are on fire. Billy is great. What a trip!
Noted NYA reporter Scoop Ashphalt said of ‘Under the Rainbow’s’ - ‘Cowgirl in the Sand’ encore . . . . “it’s Miles Davis meets the Monkees. . . . ‘Tonight’s the Night’ in its entirety . . . . . heard as never before.”

Old times, were good times...
too bad he didn't pick one of the shows with the version #3 of Tonight's The Night!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when they reverse photos to turn a right-handed person into a left-handed guitarist. Such an amateur move, and so obviously wrong. Just plain wrong.
ReplyDeleteAn homage to actual bootleg cover designs maybe?
DeleteNah, Neil was so hopped up on honey slides and tequila that tour that he played left handed the whole time. You don’t remember??

ReplyDeleteLuckily when the album was finally released two years later they heard your complaint and flipped the picture back to reality!
