As Time Explodes (Live Album)

About

<b>A 2025 tour document of familiar fave, deep cut, and one new tune.</b> There’s no such thing as too many Neil Young live album, because no two Neil Young tours are ever the same, and each record presents a revealing snapshot of an enigmatic, mercurial artist at a particular moment in time. <i>As Time Explodes</i> documents Neil’s summer 2025 treks with The Chrome Heart, the righteously ragged quartet (anchored by longtime sidemen Micah Nelson and Spooner Oldham) who made their official recorded debut that same year on <i>Talkin to the Trees</i>. But in true contrarian Neil fashion, that album is barely represented here. Instead, we get a smattering of familiar favorites alongside the deepest of deep cut, creating an alternate universe where the <i>Silver and Gold</i> country charmer <b>“Daddy Went Walkin’,”</b> the 1999 CSNY lullaby <b>“Looking Forward,”</b> and the battle-scarred piano ballad <b>“Long Walk Home”</b> (from Crazy Horse’s largely forgotten 1987 set <i>Life</i>) feel every bit as a canonical as <b>“Harvest Moon”</b> and <b>“After the Gold Rush.”</b> .
