Neil Young in Europe 76' with Crazy Horse

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

N.p. Warner Communications, 1976. Vintage German tour poster for the four German dates (March 18-21, 1976) of Neil Young's Japan and Europe tour, held in support of the 1975 album "Zuma." Features all nine of Young's solo releases up to that point along the bottom edge of the graphic.

In 1975 Young reformed Crazy Horse, replacing the late Danny Whitten with Frank Sampedro on rhythm guitar, alongside Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina, to record his eighth studio album "Zuma," named after Zuma Beach in LA, where Young owned a home. A return to a more commercial form, following Young's "Ditch Trilogy," 'Time Fades Away" (1973), "On the Beach" (1974), and "Tonight's the Night" (1975), "Zuma" contained some of the most pop-oriented tunes Young had created in years, as well as the brilliant seven and a half minute epic "Cortez the Killer," which contains some of Young's most extensive solo guitar work since his 1969 album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere."

In support of the new album, Young and Crazy Horse began a tour of Japan and Europe, his first full European tour as a solo artist, in Nagoya Japan on March 3, 1976.
Following seven dates in Japan, they began the European half of the tour on March 15 in Oslo, Norway and played a total of 15 concerts, ending on April 2 in Glasgow, Scotland, which included the four German dates on the poster offered here, March 18 in Heidelberg, March 19 in Offenbach, March 20 in Cologne, and March 21 in Hamburg.

30 x 23.5 inches. Folded, as issued. Very Good plus, with some light creasing to the far top left and diagonal crease to the top far right.
