The Stray Gators: Ben Keith-pedal steel, Tim Drummond-bass, Kenny Buttrey-drums, Jack Nitzsche-piano.

Here is the master tape of the Chicago gig from early in Neil Young’s “Harvest/Time Fades Away” American Tour of 1973. This three-month odyssey started on January 5, 1973 in Milwaukee. The setlist here is noticeably different than the recently posted Seattle March 17, 1973 show and features a number of songs that were dropped later in the tour. As such, this Chicago concert provides a nice contrast to Seattle. “LA” is performed here on acoustic guitar, rather than the electric version featured in the Seattle show. In addition, Kenny Buttrey also adds a distinctive difference on the drum parts. I rate this show VG+ in sound quality. Like Seattle, I think it’s another of the better-sounding shows from this tour. None of these Chicago tracks appear on the “Time Fades Away” album. Song samples provided. Enjoy.

This has a some hiss, but is still one of the better 1973 Time Fades Away Tour recordings.
You get a rare Here We Are In The Years along with the occasionally played Out On The Weekend,
and the rest of the Times Fades Away material.

source: Unknown (but low) generation Maxell C90s > AIWA AD-F810 > Creative SB1260 > Audacity > wav file >
edited w Nero > flac > Dime

a little work was done on balancing channels and a slight noise reduction applied to
minimise the more obvious tape hiss but no further EQ

This tape was acquired from a Non-Neil collector based in Chicago. He insisted on passing it to me
personally, along with a couple of other shows, and as a result came to my house when he was
visiting London in Summer 1973. Despite my requests that he use a better quality tape the show came on basic Maxell tape in label-less cassettes – the like of which I have never seen since. And I had to pay for the cost of the tapes as well as I had nothing he wanted in exchange. All very odd. But odder still is the fact that in the intervening 39 years I have never come across the master or even a better quality source tape. All copies in circulation come from dubs of this cassette and the previous Dime upload was from a lossy transfer. I have labelled this as low generation – it is possibly first but I have no evidence to support that. The quality of the recording is average only.

D & D Archives Master Series Volume 22

Notes:
JEMS is proud to be able to partner with and present some of the choice recordings in the D & D archives. Some of these recordings have been around for years but none of the master tapes or safety copies in some cases have ever been digitized until now. Dave and Donn taped many shows in and around the Seattle area in the 70’s and also were contemporaries of some of the JEMS members. Volume 22 captures Neil Young taped by Donn on a field trip down from the Pacific Northwest to California. This is an absolutely spectacular recording that has circulated for ages but most likely no copies have ever circulated from an analog source this close to the master prior.
