Albums Of The Week: Neil Young & The Santa Monica Flyers | Somewhere Under The Rainbow

Shakey's latest archival set unearths a searing London gig from 1973, anchored by the newly recorded Tonight's The Night. The sound is so-so, but the performance is killer.

Neil Young and The Santa Monica Flyers (Nils Lofgren, Ben Keith, Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina) played London’s Rainbow Theatre on Nov. 5, 1973, with the first half of the concert dedicated to Neil Young’s masterpiece album Tonight’s The Night. The intense concert was recorded by Pete Long, and includes riveting versions of the Tonight’s The Night tracks, plus Young classics like Cowgirl In The Sand, Don’t Be Denied and Flying On The Ground Is Wrong.”
