I couldn't locate this on the tracker currently and it's a favorite show from a great tour.

All credit goes to the taper of this and the other Osaka shows, excellent location, nice equipment, a well mannered Japanese audience and an awesome performance make this one of the very best documents of the 1976 Tour Of Japan & Europe.

The 1973 tour had been a moody affair in which Neil was in no mood to pull out the hits to suit his audiences expectations.
In contrast, Neil was clearly having fun on the 1976 tour and many new songs were debuted at these shows: "Too Far Gone" would remain unreleased for 13 years until finally making it's appearane on 1989's "Freedom", a rarely played "Let It Shine", "Lotta Love" not appearing officially until 1978's "Comes A Time" and one of the highlights of the shows a lengthy version of the yet to be released at the time "Like A Hurricane".

This 1976 tour is legendary, a tour I never get tired of listening to and this show is one of the best examples of how great Neil Young & Crazy Horse were on any given night.
