Notes
This is a new song I wrote in 1968. You haven't heard it yet. I was too paranoid to release it back then. It's called L.A. I thought I'd tell you a little about this song. xxx on the west coast - people live under palm trees looking out at the ocean and worry about earthquakes. Neil Young Arie Crown Theater, Chicago, Illinois, USA January 10, 1973
This is a new song I wrote about L.A. It's called L.A. It's not really new - I wrote it in 1968. My friend Jack reminded me about it a couple weeks ago. He wrote it down and I had to read it all out again because I had forgotten it totally. Neil Young Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York, USA January 14, 1973
This new tune here ... this is a song about L.A I wrote in 1968. At the time I wrote it I was too paranoid to record it. But since then I've been revitalized. Here's the tune. I don't know if I'll ever record or anything, aside from tonight - we've got a truck outside. Neil Young Boston Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA February 8, 1973
