The Homecoming Concert is a live album by Tim Hardin, released in 1981. It was recorded on January 17, 1980 in the city where he was born, Eugene, Oregon. Hardin died later that year.
Hardin had moved back to Seattle, Washington after living in England for a number of years. He performed infrequently and continued to struggle with his heroin addiction. A television special called The Homecoming Concert was filmed that included performances and interviews. Hardin died later that year, on December 29, 1980 of a drug overdose.[1]
In an uncredited review for Allmusic, the album was called "eminently rewarding" and "It shows that Hardin, who was at work on a new album at the time of his death, was the owner of a musical fire that was still burning brightly at that late date."
All songs by Tim Hardin except where noted.
