The album features recordings from the February 5, 1973, concert at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which was part of Young's Time Fades Away tour with his backing band The Stray Gators. Unlike the album Time Fades Away, which was compiled from later tour dates, the lineup features drummer Kenny Buttrey (who was later replaced by Johnny Barbata). The album doesn't feature the whole concert, as not all the songs were captured to tape,[2] while "The Loner" and "On the Way Home" were not included for various reasons ("The Loner" eventually was made available for streaming for Archives subscribers in 2020).[3]
The album was also included in the Archives Volume II boxset released in 2020.

"Tuscaloosa" isn't even a complete rendering of that Feb. 5, 1973, show; the soundboard recorder apparently wasn't turned on at the beginning and end, and Neil left out a couple other numbers in the middle because, well, he's Neil.
