Live at the Fillmore East captures Neil Young & Crazy Horse at their rawest, loudest, and most emotionally potent. Recorded just months before guitarist Danny Whittens tragic spiral and the bands fragmentation, this live set documents the original Crazy Horse lineup in full flightsloppy, soulful, and transcendent.

This show comes from the Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere era, right after the success of Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand, but before the folkier introspection of After the Gold Rush. Its the perfect snapshot of a young band wielding volume and vulnerability in equal measure.

Long bootlegged and heavily mythologized, this official release finally gave fans a properly mixed, high-fidelity versionpart of Neil Youngs long-delayed Archives Performance Series.

Live at the Fillmore East isnt just a great live albumits one of the definitive documents of Neil Youngs electric side. No frills, no long intros, no acoustic interludesjust Neil and Crazy Horse cranking it up and letting it bleed. Essential listening for fans of fuzz-drenched, emotionally raw rock & roll.

Reviews

"Young's contribution to this trend were his fraternal-twin epics 'Down By the River' and 'Cowgirl in the Sand', each with grand valleys of open space between brief scripted moments of verse and chorus. This release is dominated by those two songs, both of which gallivant past the 10-minute mark without ever growing stale, perfect demonstrations of the chemistry between frontman and supporters." Pitchfork

"Opening with a soaring rendition of 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,' there's no question that Young and Crazy Horse are in their prime." Slant Magazine
