History Though 'Love in Mind' dates from a 1971 solo tour, all other songs on the album are from the Harvest tour in early 1973. The program featured an acoustic solo set followed by an electric set with The Stray Gators. Longtime collaborator and former guitarist had been set to join the Gators as a second guitarist before being sent home from rehearsals after it became evident that he was in no condition to embark on the rigorous tour. He succumbed to a fatal combination of and alcohol on the night following his dismissal.
Unlike Young's previous ensembles, The Stray Gators consisted of notable and session musicians; keyboardist Jack Nitzsche was the only member of the group who had worked with Young prior to Harvest. During the rehearsals, drummer Kenneth Buttrey demanded a salary of $100,000 (roughly $571,000 in 2017) to compensate for lost session work, leading Nitzsche (with support from Tim Drummond) to prevail upon the singer to extend this salary to the other band members. Although Young reluctantly acquiesced, Nitzsche would later reflect that 'Neil got so pissed off. I don't think things ever recovered after that.' In the wake of the relatively dulcet Harvest, audiences did not always react positively to the new songs, many of which were emblematic of the Gators' raucous and heavily electrified live sound.
Struggling to cope with Whitten's death, Young lambasted band members' performances following concerts and scheduled soundchecks that were often cancelled on short notice. Such behavior frustrated Buttrey, who left the band and was immediately replaced by former / percussionist Johnny Barbata. Having previously stepped in to replace on 's 1970 tour, Barbata ultimately performed on all of the Stray Gators selections on the album. At the instigation of Drummond, Young also developed a notable penchant for, with the singer later remarking that 'it does something else to me than alcohol usually does.' Other band members performed erratically: according to producer Elliot Mazer, Jack Nitzsche would often spew obscenities into his switched-off vocal microphone, while pedal steel/dobro player was so inebriated at one soundcheck that he could not recall the key of 'Don't Be Denied', a song slated for the album. Following the loss of a pickup on his signature (a heavily modified ), Young switched to a; according to Young, the guitar 'wouldn't stay in tune' and had other problems.
Biographer Jimmy McDonough has characterized Young's performances on the instrument as 'the worst guitar playing of his career.' Alcohol abuse and strained singing would lead the singer to develop a throat infection in the final days of the tour. In a partial reunion of CSNY, Young hired and to augment the harmonies and play rhythm guitar. Despite their integration, the band's repertoire remained confined to Young originals.
Moreover, clashes among The Stray Gators continued, with Nitzsche complaining that he couldn't hear himself playing because Crosby's 12-string electric guitar overpowered the sound mix. Following sixty-two concerts over three months, the tour ended at the in on April 3, 1973. Recording Time Fades Away was recorded directly from the soundboard to 16-track and mixed simultaneous to LP cutting using the Quad-Eight Compumix.
There were no 2 track masters ever made of this record. The master discs were cut directly from the 16 track masters through the Compumix system. A mix was recorded to a second 16 track machine-we had 2 that would run perfectly together-to feed the variable pitch system of the lathe-but was discarded when we were through.
I was the mastering engineer who cut the masters. — Phil Brown While no master tape was created in the traditional sense, stereo tapes were in fact created while cutting to enable future remastering.

'Neil Young, having tasted fame and fortune with After the Goldrush and Harvest, famously said he would rather head for the ditch than stay in the middle of the road.
And that's just what he did with Time Fades Away. Young recorded the stoned, muddy, hard-rocking album on a stadium tour to confused audiences who had never heard the songs before. No atmosphere, no acoustic balladry, just memories of getting a kicking in the schoolyard and an extended moan about LA. Young's profile duly disappeared.'
—Bob Stanley of, talking about the album's release in 2008. Young's appraisal Neil Young commented on Time Fades Away in the original, unreleased liner notes for his 1977 triple-album compilation: Time Fades Away. No songs from this album are included here. It was recorded on my biggest tour ever, 65 sic shows in 90 days. Money hassles among everyone concerned ruined this tour and record for me but I released it anyway so you folks could see what could happen if you lose it for a while. I was becoming more interested in an approach than satisfying the public demands for a repetition of Harvest. In 1987, Young told an interviewer that Time Fades Away was 'the worst record I ever made – but as a documentary of what was happening to me, it was a great record.
I was onstage and I was playing all these songs that nobody had heard before, recording them, and I didn't have the right band. It was just an uncomfortable tour. I felt like a product, and I had this band of all-star musicians that couldn't even look at each other.' Young has rarely played songs from Time Fades Away live.
'Don't Be Denied' was included in the 1974 CSN&Y tour. In July 2008, he performed the record's title track at a concert in.

Pristine vinyl copies are still available in used stores and on eBay, often with the fold-out liner notes still intact; some CDs from the 1995 test pressings exist, and copies of these CDs are circulated as bootlegs. Additionally, some fans have made CDs from the more readily available vinyl copies.
In October 2009, Young told that a disc titled Time Fades Away II will be included in the second volume of the box set series, noting: 'It's interesting because Time Fades Away II has a different drummer than what was on that album. Was in there for the first half, and came in for the second.
It's a completely different thing, with completely different songs.' In 2014, Young released a limited edition box set of vinyl records that includes the original Time Fades Away along with, and.
