Tuscaloosa is a live album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on June 7, 2019, on Shakey Pictures Records.[1] It is Volume 04 in the Performance Series of Neil Young Archives.
The album features recordings from the February 5, 1973, concert at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which was part of the Young's Time Fades Away tour with his backing band The Stray Gators. Unlike the album Time Fades Away, which was compiled from later tour dates, the lineup features drummer Kenny Buttrey (who was later replaced by Johnny Barbata). The album doesn't feature the whole concert, as not all the songs were captured to tape,[2] while "The Loner" and "On The Way Home" were not included for various reasons (although Young stated that both performances might eventually become available for the Archives subscribers to hear).[3]
^Willman, Chris (June 6, 2019). "Neil Young Unearths a Defining 1973 Set in New ‘Tuscaloosa’ Release". Variety.com. Variety Media, LLC. Retrieved June 6, 2019. "Tuscaloosa" isn't even a complete rendering of that Feb. 5, 1973, show; the soundboard recorder apparently wasn't turned on at the beginning and end, and Neil left out a couple other numbers in the middle because, well, he's Neil.
