Neil had so many great records in the 70s but the "ditch trilogy" may be his best work. I'd put this one a touch above After the Goldrush and On the Beach as his best. Plus I'm a sucker for pedal steel in rock tunes and "Albuquerque" delivers in spades.

Very personal sounding record even by Neil Youngs standard.

Neil Young seems to be in a reflective mood. He's catching his breath, looking back on the toll the rock and roll lifestyle has had on him and his friends. A true masterpiece.

One of my fav Young albums.

This is Neil's low key and emotional statement of loss. As stated, this is not a happy album; however, it is deeply fulfilling.

'Tonight's The Night' is a solemn meditation on the pessimism that began to shape the 1970s - a grounded pessimism that emerged from the idealism of the 1960s. This is a record of immense beauty borne out of loss and redemption, and is arguably Neil Young's masterwork.

Very good! I like the guitar Neil Young plays and most of the songs are quite good. I should listen to more by him in future, see if it gets better with listens.

Tonight's The Night was recorded in 1973 and released 2 years later. Young dedicated the album to Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry, both of whom had died of overdoses. (Whitten sings and plays on "Come On Baby", which was recorded live in 1970.) Although it didn't have any big hits, the album is considered by many to be Young's best work. The title track, "Roll Another Number", and "Tired Eyes" are standouts, but the album as a whole is raw and powerful. Definitely recommended. A great album!

Not a happy album, but a masterpiece for sure.

I agree, for a sentimental pick I'd go with Mellow My Mind
