Neil Young Performs Two Classic Albums At Historic Roxy Reunion

Neil Young has performed the first of two 50th anniversary concerts at the historic Roxy Nightclub in West Hollywood.

Young performed five nights at the Roxy on the Tonight’s The Night tour in September 1973. The recordings of September 20-22, 1973 were released as ‘Roxy Tonight’s The Night Live’ as part of Neil’s archive series on 24 April, 2018.

50 years to the night, Neil was back the anniversary show and performed his two albums ‘Tonight’s The Night’, released 20 June 1975 and ‘Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere’, released 14 May, 1969.

For the 2023 band, Neil reformed the same line-up except for Ben Keith, who died in 2010. The 2023 show featured Neil Young, Nils Lofgren, Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina and Micah Nelson. Nelson sang lead vocals for ‘Come On Baby Lets Go Downtown’.

The show featured some rarities. It was the first time Young had ever performed ‘Round And Round (It Won’t Be Long)’. It was the third time ever ‘Running Dry (Requiem For The Rockets)’ was played (played twice in 2019 for the first time) and the 12th time for ‘Borrowed Tune’ (last played 19 Jan, 1973).
