Neil Young is releasing a new Original Bootleg Series release called Somewhere Under The Rainbow.
This album features Neil Young with the Santa Monica Flyers, recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre in London on 5 November 1973.
The band featured Neil Young (vocals, guitar), Nils Lofgren (lead and rhythm guitar, piano, accordion, vocals), Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar, vocals), Billy Talbot (bass, vocals) and Ralph Molina (drums, vocals).
The setlist features most of the Tonight’s the Night album (which had only been recorded a few months earlier) along with a few classics such as ‘Helpless’, ‘Don’t Be Denied’ and ‘Cowgirl In The Sand’. This show is well known for its “completely spontaneous and high-revved performance” and this release comes with sleeve notes from recording engineer Pete Long’s who tries to “help listeners relive a place and time that won’t be repeated”.
