Neil Young / Tonight’s The Night 50

50th anniversary edition. Available on 2LP and CD. Six bonus tracks, some unreleased.

Neil Young’s sixth studio album, Tonight’s The Night, is to be reissued for its 50th anniversary in late November.

Released in June 1975, but recorded almost two years earlier, in August 1973 at S.I.R. studios (Studio Instrumental Rentals), the album is a raw but compelling work, laid down in the aftermath of the death of both Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten (whose ‘Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown’ is the fifth track on the album) and Young’s friend and roadie Bruce Berry (whose brother Ken Berry ran S.I.R.). Berry died of a Heroin overdose in June ’73 and Whitten died in November ’72, as a result of ingesting a combination of diazepam and alcohol, while trying to get over his own heroin addiction. Whitten died within 24 hours of Young firing him for not being able to play (“I loved Danny. I felt responsible” Young said).

The 12-track album (which starts and ends with ‘Tonight’s The Night’) has a newly expanded tracklisting and will be reissued with enhanced cover art on CD and 2LP black vinyl.

In this new anniversary edition ‘Lookout Joe’, which until now has always been a version recorded earlier at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch (on 15 Dec, 1972) is replaced by the same song recorded at the actual Tonight’s The Night sessions at S.I.R., nine months later.

There are also six bonus tracks, – all from the S.I.R. sessions – including ‘Walk On’ (re-recorded later that year for On The Beach) and take 3 of ‘Tonight’s The Night’. These are both previously unreleased. The other bonus tracks are ‘Everybody’s Alone’, ‘Raised on Robbery’ (featuring Joni Mitchell), and ‘Speakin’ Out Jam’ are also included (released on Archives Vol II) and ‘Wonderin’ (only previously available to stream on NYA).

This new 18-track expanded Tonight’s The Night 50 is released on 28 November 2025, via Warner Records.
