"L.A." is a song written and performed by Neil Young from the 1973 album Time Fades Away, a live album noted for its abrasive experimentation and its "wild, agonized, deliberately jarring" vocals. Johnny Rogan in his Complete Guide to the Music of Neil Young tells us that "L.A." was "Young's fantasy vision of the destruction of Los Angeles. There is an underlying glee in his apocalyptic vision that is both intriguing and disconcerting." Rogan also suggests that the song may have been written by Young a full five years before it was debuted during his 1973 Time Fades Away tour. Rogan talks about the song at greater length in the book Neil Young: Zero To Sixty.

- L.A. is een lied van Neil Young dat aan het begin van 1973 deel uitmaakte van zijn drie maanden durende tournee. Een versie van het nummer belandde dat jaar op zijn livealbum Time fades away. Aanvankelijk ontvingen de tour en het album matige kritieken. In de jaren erna begon er alsnog waardering te komen voor dit werk en in 2014 plaatste het muziekblad Rolling Stone het nummer L.A. op de lijst van 20 insanely great Neil Young songs only hardcore fans know.

| - "L.A." is a song written and performed by Neil Young from the 1973 album Time Fades Away, a live album noted for its abrasive experimentation and its "wild, agonized, deliberately jarring" vocals. Johnny Rogan in his Complete Guide to the Music of Neil Young tells us that "L.A." was "Young's fantasy vision of the destruction of Los Angeles. There is an underlying glee in his apocalyptic vision that is both intriguing and disconcerting." Rogan also suggests that the song may have been written by Young a full five years before it was debuted during his 1973 Time Fades Away tour. Rogan talks about the song at greater length in the book Neil Young: Zero To Sixty. In 2004 Rolling Stone rated "L.A." as Young's 74th greatest song, calling it a "tense, bitter rocker" that is a "tribute to 'the uptight city of smog' that made him a star." Young performed L.A. 22 times on the Time Fade Away tour and wouldn't play it again until 2015 The Black Crowes performed the song on some legs of their 2005-2006 reunion tour, with lead guitarist Marc Ford handling vocal duties. Several of these performances saw official release via the band's deal with Instant Live. Although the Instant Live versions are now out of print, several shows have been made available via the band's official live download site, liveblackcrowes.com [1]. Jubilee recorded "L.A." (released in January 2008) as a B-Side on their single "Rebel Hiss" with the participation of guest drummer Troy Petrey. Lukas Nelson, son of Willie Nelson, released a version of "L.A." on his CD, Promise Of The Real. (en)
- L.A. is een lied van Neil Young dat aan het begin van 1973 deel uitmaakte van zijn drie maanden durende tournee. Een versie van het nummer belandde dat jaar op zijn livealbum Time fades away. Aanvankelijk ontvingen de tour en het album matige kritieken. In de jaren erna begon er alsnog waardering te komen voor dit werk en in 2014 plaatste het muziekblad Rolling Stone het nummer L.A. op de lijst van 20 insanely great Neil Young songs only hardcore fans know. Het is een protestlied tegen de milieuvervuiling op dat moment, zoals de smog in L.A. (Los Angeles). Deze stad neemt hij in het refrein sarcastisch op de korrel met de slogan: City in the smog, don't you wish that you could be here too? Over het verontreinigde zeewater zingt hij: bubbles in the sea and an ocean full of trees. L.A. is een rustig rocknummer waarop Jack Nitzsche begeleidt op de piano en Ben Keith de steelgitaar en achtergrondzang voor zijn rekening neemt. Naast een distortion-gitaar is nog een melodie te horen van een sologitaar. Tijdens een show in Inglewood, L.A. County op 14 oktober 2015 speelde Neil het nummer voor het eerst sinds de Time fades away tour in 1973 weer eens live. The Black Crowes voerden het nummer op tijdens hun reünietournee in 2005/06 en de Californische band plaatste een cover op hun cd-single Rebel hiss (2008). Lukas Nelson, een zoon van countryzanger Willie Nelson, coverde het op zijn album Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (2010). (nl)
