Tonight’s the Night

Neil Young

A raw, tequila-soaked wake for fallen friends. Recorded live at midnight, these twelve tracks are famously unpolished, heartbreakingly honest, and deeply dark.

It's a messy, drunken, heartbreaking wake for lost friends that somehow became a rock masterpiece.

A raw, tequila-soaked funeral wake that prioritizes emotional wreckage over musical perfection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the voice cracking into a vulnerable rasp during the high notes of Mellow My Mind
the repetitive, hypnotic thrum of the title track that feels like it might fall apart at any second
the stark, lonely piano on Borrowed Tune that sounds like it was recorded in an empty hall
