In spring 1970, Young toured with Crazy Horse. He opened the shows with a solo acoustic set before bringing out Crazy Horse for a set of electric material. Live At The Fillmore East documents that tour.
In the fall 1976 tour that Songs For Judy documents, he did the same. During his acoustic sets, Young played different songs each night rather than the same songs at every show. As a result he played a total of 22 acoustic songs throughout the course of the tour, each of which appears on Songs For Judy.
In addition, whereas Live at the Fillmore East documents only electric performances and omits acoustic material, Songs For Judy does the opposite and documents only acoustic performances.
