just now I discovered this link and great offer of TFA mp3’s. Pity I’m too late and you seem to have closed down the downloads. Any chance of getting them still?

Fantastic! I ripped my old vinyl to mp3 but I have no doubt that these mp3’s will be higher quality. You can only get so far on a $99 Aiwa phonograph. When I think about my favorite Neil records, the three in the Ditch trilogy are right up there at the top… I really do like a little dirt on it. Or in the case of the Ditch trilogy, especially Time Fades Away and Tonight’s the Night, a LOT of dirt.

Good stuff, cheers for that. I’ve got an mp3 set of this one but I’ll take this too as I think it’s at a higher bit rate. Any more Neil Young entries would be most welcome, it’s how I discovered your page. You don’t happen to have an mp3 rip of the Journey Through The Past soundtrack by any chance?
Thanks again.

I’ve been meaning to review Tonight’s The Night for the longest time and this post finally pushed me.

I never even knew about the Ditch thing! Thanks for the record, I’ll buy it when they ship it.

Anyone who has followed Neil Young’s career knows enough not to expect a simple evening of mellow good times when they see him in concert, but in 1973, when Young hit the road after Harvest had confirmed his status as a first-echelon rock star, that knowledge wasn’t nearly as common as it is today. Young’s natural inclinations to travel against the current of audience expectations were amplified by a stormy relationship between himself and his touring band, as well as the devastating death of guitarist Danny Whitten, who died of a drug overdose shortly after being given his pink slip during the first phase of tour rehearsals. The shows that followed turned into a nightly exorcism of Young’s rage and guilt, as well as a battle between himself and an audience who, expecting to hear “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold,” didn’t know what to make of the electric assault they witnessed. All the more remarkably, Young brought along a mobile recording truck to capture the tour on tape for a live album and the result, Time Fades Away, was a ragged musical parade of bad karma and road craziness, opening with Young bellowing “14 junkies, too weak to work” on the title cut, and closing with “Last Dance,” in which he tells his fans “you can live your own life” with all the optimism of a man on the deck of a sinking ship. While critics and fans were not kind to Time Fades Away upon first release, decades later it sounds very much of a piece with Tonight’s the Night and On the Beach, albums that explored the troubled zeitgeist of America in the mid-’70s in a way few rockers had the courage to face. If the performances are often loose and ragged, they’re also brimming with emotional force, and despite the dashed hopes of “Yonder Stands the Sinner” and “Last Dance,” “Don’t Be Denied” is a moving remembrance of Young’s childhood and what music has meant to him, and it’s one of the most powerful performances Young ever committed to vinyl. Few rockers have been as willing as Young to lay themselves bare before their audience, and Time Fades Away ranks with the bravest and most painfully honest albums of his career — like the tequila Young was drinking on that tour, it isn’t for everyone, but you may be surprised by its powerful effects.
