NOTES ON THIS CD:
During the summer of 1976, Neil Young and Stephen Stills formed the Stills-
Young Band and began touring. An album, Long May You Run, had already
been recorded and would be released in September. Stephen had also just
released the solo, illegal Stills in March. The tour lasted only 26 days and 18
performances before Young walked out. Some of those performances were
inspirational with searing guitar work not found on the album, More than half
of the 45 songs performed were unreleased at the time but only five would
appear on Long May You Run.
This show, Providence, was the longest of the tour? 23 songs. It includes the
only performance of Midnight On The Bay and two Stills' songs Circlin' and
Tree Top Flyer which were only performed twice during the entire tour.
The crowd was rowdy? during Neil's Midnight On The Bay, after firecrackers
go off, he stops and warns the audience and at one point, before beginning
Word Game, Stills waits and finally says, "When you're through, I'll play.?
This is an audience recording mastered from tape. The first two songs played,
Love The One You're With and The Loner were not on the tape. As bonus
tracks, there are 3 songs from the 6/26 show at the Boston Garden including
The Loner, a Young song which Stills had covered on Illegal Stills and, as a
rarity, takes lead vocal.
After Young walks off. Stephen continued the tour renaming it the 'Stills Fills
The Bill' tour promoting his solo album. He'd walk on stage and announce
that Neil Young was not there? "if you're going to leave, leave now".
