In February and March 1970, Young and Crazy Horse went on tour to support Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969).

It also features Jack Nitzsche as an official member of the band, as indicated by Young in the band introductions; this four-man line-up of Crazy Horse backed Young for a short American tour in February and March 1970.

When Young resurrected live performances of the song after this release, the lines edited out were restored.

The release features two other songs from the era that wouldn't see the light of day until years after the concert.

"Winterlong" was first released on the 1977 compilation Decade and "Wonderin'" would feature on the 1983 rockabilly album Everybody's Rockin', complete with doo-wop backing vocals.

In previous interviews, Young had expressed interest in releasing a series of multi-disc box sets of unreleased material and performances, long referred to as the "Archives".
