Tonight's The Night

Heavy sorrow permeates these tracks, which were made in a haze of exhaustion and tequila. The results feel dangerously loose, documenting a band playing while on the verge of falling apart.
Sessions for the 1975 album were famously dark, rejecting standard studio polish for a live, ragged atmosphere. It remains a raw account of a performer dealing with profound loss in real time.
