Neil Young On The Beach 4/1/17 Prior to "Pumped Up KicksAfter working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH.

The set also features a trio of scathing songs "Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"
