"MP3s? Fuck That Shit! PONO!"

Don’t see that every day...decade, millennium, etc.

I don’t know, I think Neil could have had a great film. Love the first 20 minutes or so: the stuff at the radio station, the Springfield clips (fantastic), the CSNY footage. The framing story is obviously preposterous, but I even like a tiny bit of that: the guy shooting up (where I typically had to look away) at least gives it some grounding, reminds you that the film was made in the shadow of Danny Whitten, and the two minutes after where “Soldier” plays, and the camera wanders around, are suitably atmospheric (maybe just because I like “Soldier” so much). There are so many sequences that go nowhere, though, like Neil and Carrie pulling up in the car, silently sharing a joint and eating strawberries, then moving along--that scene felt like 10 minutes. The theatre was almost empty tonight; unless a lot more people bought Archives than I think, I don’t really understand that. The last shot, with the Beach Boys playing and the two crosses and the headlights, is stunning.

I hope these all come to DVD at some point

The theatre was almost empty tonight; unless a lot more people bought Archives than I think, I don’t really understand that.

I should maybe add that Neil the person was actually playing here last night...

Oh woah

XP "Hmmm, which ill-advised Neil Young venture shall I attend tonight?"

That's pretty amazing. I saw "Journey" years ago and it was off a bad VHS dub so I've always wondered what it would look like cleaned up and remastered. Or simply seeing a film print would be amazing.

Lots of scenes go nowhere and are pointless but are enjoyable in a kind of virtually-hanging-out-with-Neil way.

It really does look good when you see it cleaned up--obviously they were screening the Archives DVD last night. I imagine existing film prints, if there are any besides a master stored away somewhere, look pretty awful, Wish I could find a still of last shot. Big surprise: a lot of it looks really grainy, in the best way possible.

This just in from Reprise:

For Immediate Release:

NEIL YOUNG + PROMISE OF THE REAL CONFIRM WEST COAST LEG OF THE REBEL CONTENT TOUR IN SUPPORT OF THE CURRENT ALBUM - THE MONSANTO YEARS

"NEIL'S VILLAGE" WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE REBEL CONTENT TOUR, SHARING INFORMATION ON REGENERATIVE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND ENGAGEMENT

August 17, 2015 - (Burbank, CA.) -- Neil Young + Promise of the Real have confirmed a second leg of the Rebel Content Tour which will resume Oct 1st , in Missoula, MT., and wind down in Berkeley, CA., on Oct 17. All tour dates are listed below.

The Rebel Content Tour presents Neil Young + Promise of the Real - Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar), along with Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals), Anthony Logerfo (drums), Corey McCormick (bass/vocals) and Tato Melgar (percussion). Neil and Promise of the Real played together at the Bold Nebraska /Cowboys and Indians Alliance event last year along with Lukas and Micah's father Willie Nelson. They had such an instant synergy that Neil invited them to record his new album The Monsanto Years with him.

The first leg of the Rebel Content Tour has drawn a truly overwhelming response to Young + Promise of The Real's amazing energy. Ranging from solo acoustic, to full band acoustic, to full on raging rock jams these 2-to-3 hour, ever changing "dream set lists"* feature material from both The Monsanto Years and Young's entire catalogue and have left audiences enthralled:

"The ever-evolving ruby in the dust is back this summer, playing a mix of old and new songs with an enthusiastic backing band that includes the sons of the legendary Willie Nelson. The group unleashed a blistering 22+ song set that had a little something for everybody. Unlike those of some of his contemporaries a Neil Young concert never feels like a "greatest hits" money grab. Even when he's playing his classics, he invests them with the same passion and intensity that has drawn fans to him throughout his long career." -- Relix

"The show started out folkie and familiar and grew in electric intensity and volume as the evening proceeded. Young let the music do the talking. The musicians acquitted themselves with garage-band raggedness and youthful enthusiasm. Young still remains a commanding and often electrifying performer, one of the great instinctual rock artists and guitarists of all time." - The Boston Globe

"The band plays like a younger, scrappier version of Young's own Crazy Horse. Young's ragged and lived in, his voice a haunting yowl that's only grown more honest with age. He wears his rust well." - Detroit News

"Young is incapable of giving a bad performance simply because he's so committed to his music and his unique tenor voice is in fine form." - New Jersey Herald.

"Young has been sounding the alarm about environmental issues for more than four decades now. He's warned us...That kind of honesty has been at the heart of his music. It's the warts-and-all passion that inspires us to hang with Young down any road he wanders." - Rolling Stone

Once again, "Neils Village " an alliance of regional grassroots organizations, advocates and national non-profits will join this leg of the Rebel Content Tour. "Neils Village" will be set up on concourse level at each of the venues and will engage attendees in sharing issues of sustainability and action.

SO PSYCHED

Is there any way we can write Bardo Pond in as his next backup band?

man lot of covers lol

hah yeah don't know what's up with that

listening to The Monsanto Year right now, gonna liveblog some choice couplets

"too big to fail
too rich for jail"

really this record has a good sound, but a lot of the lyrics are painful earnest-Neil style

still it's kinda winning me over, and "Wolf Moon" is really pretty, he's been doing it along with "Harvest Moon" in the live sets and it fits.

"corporations have feelings
corporations have souls
that's why they're like people
but harder to control"

no good couplets from "Workin' Man" but it rocks super hard, got that herky-jerky rhythm hiccup and a lotta dense guitar, also upbeat tempo

"out of balance, money grows
corporations take control"

(btw everything else abt this track, "Rules Of Change", is excellent - light harmonics mixed with serious fuzz, a fragile delivery, good melody

OK lyrical clunkers aside, this record is great, dude is on a roll in the 2010's

"corporations have feelings
corporations have souls
that's why they're like people
but harder to control"

MY FRIEND

This album is one vocoder away from being the Trans sequel of my dreams.

what else has neil young done similar to the dead man soundtrack? i love it too much

Closest thing is probably Arc, which isn't even really that close -- lots of long instrumental passages, but few repeated melodies. That one descending figure on Dead Man is one of the most beautiful things he's ever come up with. That record is one of my favorites, up there with Tonight's the Night.

(I do love Arc, it's just a different animal with similar skin, from a distance)

haha yeah I was totally gonna say Arc

Tyler you really should give this new one a listen!

yeah Dead Man sdtk is p unique in his catalog. Arc is similarly abstract but yeah it's working w a pretty different sonic palette.

Monsanto is really good. There are some clunkers but on the whole it's excellent.

show was unbelievable. hit after hit, band was on fire, one of the young Nelsons did a showstopping version of "September Song" on piano, and they encored with "Vampire Blues" ((last time played 1974/03/26)

I feel like The Promise Of The Real is perfect for him, they were all having so much fun and totally locked in to each other, lotsa guitar-heavy jamming
