Back It Up Alive

Nils Lofgren is well-known and respected as a E Street band member for Bruce Springsteen and as Crazy Horse guitarist for Neil Young. Nils 1975 promotional release of ‘Back It Up! LIVE (1000 copies), was one of the most highly-coveted “Holy Grails” of record collecting, captured LIVE in the studio for a radio broadcast on San Francisco’s KSAN-FM. It’s a great selection of songs,
including some vintage like the beautiful “Like Rain” from his former band Grin and some from Nils’ self-titled debut album like the soulful turn on the Goffin-King chestnut “Goin’ Back.”
This show has always been and will continue to be one of the best LIVE performances ever.
The finale “Beggar’s Day”, especially the jam toward the end of the song, are nothing short of spectacular!
