Neil Young with Crazy Horse Odeon - Budokan 1976 LP

Originally released as Disc 10 in the CD box set "Neil Young Archives Vol II", this is Odeon Budokan's first release on vinyl. Odeon Budokan is a live album from the Neil Young with Crazy Horse tour that occurred in March 1976. Side 1 of the album contains an intimate solo acoustic performance by Neil Young recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon. Side 2 contains an electric live performance with Crazy Horse, recorded at the Budokan in Tokyo.

Odeon Budokan stands out somewhat from even the stronger entries in Young's Official Bootleg Series, capturing two distinctive sides of his appeal in peak form....More so than some of the other bootleg-like releases from Young's archival expeditions, Odeon Budokan exemplifies how the mid-'70s was a time when he was operating at full force in several directions at once. As both a writer of gentle, humanity-affirming songs and as the leader of a reckless rock band, Odeon Budokan finds Young at the top of his game.
