Magnificent version of this epic song. There will never be another Neil Young . He is the best of the best . Amazing talent. Must listen to . We love you Mr Neil ❤❤❤❤
In 1968 I saw Neil Young in a small theater in Stratford Conn. I was already a huge favorite of Buffalo Springfiled fan. It was a delicious evening. I saw him 5 more times once with CS&N at Woodstock with Crazy Horse at the Fillmore East and Capitol theater in NY The last time I saw him was at Carnegie Hall with Crazy Horse taking my last acid trip and it was so amazing I could actually see the music pouring out of the amps and splashing across the walls of the storied hall.
Tom...If you're bored one day, my old band made this a staple in our sets. We opened with it at our 25th anniversary show....band is called Scam Artists @ T he Silver Dollar Room....Hope you enjoy our version.
Time Fades Away continues to be one of my favorite Neil Young LP's. Neil Young is the greatest in my book. Top notch shit on par with Dylan's best. Love them both. 1a) Neil Young 1b) Bob Dylan (as far as solo artists go...& with others, too, lol. Thanks for this post. September 8th will be a fine day...Neil's "Hitchhiker" and the great Gregory Allman's final LP "Southern Blood" both getting released. My record player is salivating lol. As an Alabama resident, I can tell ya this, Southern Man needs him around anyhow! (And I'm not dissing Ronnie Van Zant or the rest of Skynyrd...they're great as well).
This version of "L.A." is, now that i hear it, the version i imagine when i listen to "L.A." on the album, 'Time Fades Away'. The only addition i can bring here to This wonderful recording are things i find out from playing with it, i mean the stuff i think sounds like fun to play in the midst of it. Thanks Neil for your both broad and specific representation of it, out here on the Interstate.
Just love early Neil - wish I could have been there. I first heard him on Expecting to Fly (on Radio Luxembourg or Radio Caroline) and bought the Buffalo Springfield - Broken Arrow is another masterpiece - love the guy.
I recall hearing Neil do this song solo acoustic at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago in I'll bet 1973. I hope that when he eventually releases his Vol 2 Archives that a legal acoustic version of this tune is released so I can play it on the radio.
Cool man i dont understand y i dont hear neil on the radio anymore did monsanto payola the djs such alegend and like neil sings i never hear my record on the. Radio iguess when u hit nerve s like ohio for what its worth and so on u get blackballed shame neil. Sings about whats goin on real powerful stuff but true fans of neil like myself can understand neil is a realist thank god we still have him here 2day iam a true neil young fan thank u neil i got it man peace out one of the true hippie from the sixtys and still kickin ass and takin aims
Well...I'm hearing it as I type... So, it surely exists... I think you also were able to comment because it was posted here as something that really EXISTS... So... kind of ridiculous to type such words. Right ?
Very interesting Tune by Neil. I think this is from Time Fades Away" or some tune on that record? Ever hear "one more sign" and "whatever happened to saturday night" with Buffalo Springfield. Ever hear Neils "Love in Mind"? Come on Baby let's go downtown? Oh this guitar sounds a little little like another Neil song .. so many great ones!
Neil wrote this in 1968 after having a vision of the future. It scared him so he kept it under his hat until 1973 then never performed it until 2016. If you look at the sky you'll see it. The Destroyer.
Don't just automatically believe anything that Neil says about Neil. Search for "Neil Young Live at Cobo Hall, Detroit, MI - 1/8/1973 Full Show AUD" where he he introduces it as a "new" song.
Neil Young is a treasure of humanity
Cmaj7 to Fmaj7 is always so fucking beautiful when this man plays it
Gabe Thornes and he uses it quite often
Gabe Thornes got that right....he used it a lot in the early days....Clancy, Only Love Can Break, LA, etc
Best part of the song!
@@davidbain2396 love in mind, little wing among them
clever remark
As someone who lived in the L.A. area for 25 years ... I simply adore how utterly vicious Neil's lyrics are in this song
🤗
Magnificent version of this epic song. There will never be another Neil Young . He is the best of the best . Amazing talent. Must listen to . We love you Mr Neil ❤❤❤❤
One of my favorites. This version is even more haunting and sad. Captures the essence of LA.
In 1968 I saw Neil Young in a small theater in Stratford Conn. I was already a huge favorite of Buffalo Springfiled fan. It was a delicious evening. I saw him 5 more times once with CS&N at Woodstock with Crazy Horse at the Fillmore East and Capitol theater in NY The last time I saw him was at Carnegie Hall with Crazy Horse taking my last acid trip and it was so amazing I could actually see the music pouring out of the amps and splashing across the walls of the storied hall.
My God, what brilliant memories!
would be brilliant memories if Neil had actually played in Stratford in '68 or ever at Carnegie Hall with Crazy Horse. Never take acid, kids!!
Never say never! Just take good notes
The show in Connecticut was actually in Jan.1971
Such a brilliant song from the first time I heard it back in the eighties on the album Time Fades Away
One of my top 5 Neil Young tunes and virtually no one has heard of it. I have never heard this acoustic version. Great. Thank you for this post!!!!!

It's off time fades away. One of my favorite album covers of all time
I agree, Tom. "L.A." was easily the best song on Time Fades Away, and one of his best ever. Genius!

I agree, and it's also one of my favorite Neil tunes. Never seen much about it anywhere. It's just a gem.
What a great track and this version is astounding thanks
Fantastic! Been so long since I’ve heard this! “Don’t you wish that you could be here tooooooo…”
I still remember where I was when I heard this song. Touches my soul. Nice to have an acoustic version.
Haven't heard this in many many years, decades, but as soon as it started, I knew all the words!
Haha me too!
This version of "L.A." is, now that i hear it, the version i imagine when i listen to "L.A." on the album, 'Time Fades Away'.

Hope he and Willy last forever....world would be diminished without them.

He didn't like the early shows. The later shows did this song electric. He did it with Promise of the Real last year. It's on here.

Didn't know this about the song. I always felt it to be sort of prophetic.
