The band released several albums with Neil Young under the name Neil Young and Crazy Horse , during the 73 autumn tour with Young the group appeared under the name The Santa Monica Flyers and in spring 1996 as Young's backing band The Echoes . In the course of some concert tours, only individual members of Crazy Horse play in other backing bands, for example during the 1988 concerts with the blue notes Frank “Poncho” Sampedro on the keyboard.
