"where's the honey slides, Briggs?"

I thought that the Briggs version was going to be released per the Archives masterplan that once existed?

hmm no brown paper placeholder graphic for an alt TNN one the NYA timeline :/

I know it was talked about
there's also no placeholder for Oceanside/Countryside which I know was discussed at some point. original Chrome Dreams and Homegrown are there though

If anyone is interested I

If anyone is interested I created mp3s of the webstream. You can download them here

aw thank you!

thanks man! i was listening to a very solid audience recording, this is going to be an improvement.

xxp and i thought that there was an oceanside/countryside placeholder at one point on the timeline? maybe i'm misremembering ... lol Neil is definitely making all of it up as he goes though ... it's not like the last two archives releases were even hinted at in previous years.

my numbers might be off but...god has Neil really released 16 studio albums since 2000?

i really cannot keep up, i have a child to feed Neil!

sounds about right ... i mean, he's on a roughly album-a-year schedule. unstoppable.

Neil looks healthy enough, you don't need to feed him your child xp

"I ate a child, I'll last a while...."

lmao

at least 16

Are You Passionate
Prairie Wind
Living With War
Chrome Dreams II
Fork In The Road
Le Noise
A Treasure
A Letter Home
Storytone
Monsanto Years
Peace Trail
The Visitor
Paradox (is this live?)

w/CH
Greendale
Psychedelic Pill
Americana

i still love that at least a couple of us accurately predicted Neil Young would specifically release an anti-Monsanto album.

"I ate a child, I'll last a while...."
irl lol

that is a lot of albums

yeah not sure who else of his stature / age has kept up such a pace — willie nelson is probably the closest ... he puts out an album a year pretty much, i think.

starting with Me and the Drummer in 2000, Willie's released 21 studio albums.

also wtf that does not include collaboration albums

Van Morrison has put out 14 albums since 2000.

Hast thou already forgotten Live At The Cellar Door, Hitchhiker, Live at the Roxy? (19, right?)

think we were talking about newly recorded albums?

yeah, studio recordings, which is why I'm not sure abt Paradox and omitted "Earth" + a shit ton of other ones from various eras

Don't put a label, man!

not quite as old, obviously, but prince was keeping up the same pace throughout the 2000s.

2000s Van Morrison is underrated! But most eras after the classic era of Van are underrated...

anybody know if this show be archived anywhere more, err, permanent than Youtube?

Archives title #34, due in 3020.

xpost - paul - there is a post upthread by satans fav son that i think you will find very insightful :)

Neil Young has “four to five” albums recorded with Crazy Horse “that are sitting there ready to come out.”

wtf

!!!!

NEIL!

this is kind of misleading "news" — neil has been talking about putting out unreleased crazy horse related material for over a decade. There's Early Daze, Dume, Odeon-Budokan and Toast ... and then there's an Alchemy live album from 2012 they discussed earlier this year.

This too:

Young told Yahoo a 35-minute film accompanying his synthesizer-driven LP Trans will also soon be added to the archives website. A video was supposed to come out back in 1982, but Young’s label at the time disliked the album and pulled funding for the originally planned video. Young teamed with Micah Nelson of Promise Of The Real to create the soon-to-be-released animated Trans video.

“Some people loved Trans; a lot of people, they were just lost,” Young told Yahoo. “But without the [accompanying planned] video, it’s like really half of a letter, cut down the middle … This is what I wanted to do in the first place, and then the record company made me put it out without the videos, because they didn’t believe in the record, because it wasn’t Harvest. It would’ve been great [if the Trans video had come out in ’82], but it wasn’t to be. But we’re doing it now.”

still, psyched to be reminded :)

if only people had seen the video, Trans would have been a massive hit...

man i love 'sample and hold' so much

Watching that has me hoping NY found a way to sneak Lofgren’s “Transformer Man” interprative dancing into the this Crazy Horse tour.

they should do Beggar's Day too, seeing as Nils did it with Crazy Horse and sang it with Neil on the Trans tour (unfortunately not included in the Berlin video)

fucking with the Roxy record now: don't think I've ever heard a celebratedly imperfect band play a live set that so closely approximates the sound of a studio record. the harmonies on "New mama" are tight as fukk re: TtN. makes me even more impressed that Talbot and Molina could sing as well as they did, Danny and the memories and shit tons of tequila, honey slides etc notwithstanding. or did Nils do most of the heavy lifting, singing-wise? no harmonies on "walk On", and no "lookout Joe" (yes yes, leftover from Harvest), "borrowed tune" and "Cmon baby" (also understandable).

and take a bow in the hereafter, Ben Keith.

that's a really good point about the singing. I've thought about that quite a bit over the years, specifically how Crazy Horse were able to sing well-to-great despite whatever debauchery went on, vs CSNY sounding ear-grating on most live stuff. I mean, I get that Neil isn't exactly the easiest guy to sing with, but c'mon. New Mama's a good comparison point - try to sit through the harmonies on this version:

ben keith was a total fuckin wizard

remember crazy horse had were doowop fiends before they became the world’s greatest knuckle-dragging neanderthal backing band

yeah nash and neil have never really sounded that great together to my ears (there are probably a few exceptions i'm not thinking of). santa monica flyers harmonies on the live "New Mama" form Tonight's the Night Live are pretty amazing.

oh and this may be relevant: https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/173704794292/cowgirl-in-the-sand-the-losing-end-neil

New Mama's a good comparison point - try to sit through the harmonies on this version

i don't think it's the harmony singers who are the primary problem on that harvest tour version. ouch.

but yeah, neil and the horse's harmonies have been a thing of magic and beauty through the years and decades.
