Neil Young Revisits The Darkness With 50th Anniversary Edition Of ‘Tonight’s The Night’
Neil Young’s Tonight’s The Night turns 50 with a deluxe edition that revisits the raw 1973 sessions that defined one of rock’s most emotional albums.
Fifty years after Neil Young’s most haunting and cathartic album first saw the light of day, Tonight’s The Night is being reborn.
To mark the half-century milestone, Young has announced a limited deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition of the 1975 classic, complete with six bonus tracks drawn from the original 1973 recording sessions that birthed what many consider his most emotionally raw work.
Recorded in August and September 1973 at S.I.R. Studios in Los Angeles, Tonight’s The Night captured a musician at the edge – grieving, drunk, and defiant.
Young and his band, The Santa Monica Flyers (Ben Keith, Nils Lofgren, Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina), channelled loss into sound, crafting an album steeped in pain and honesty.
