been a member since it started basically and i literally JUST figured out that there is a search function - click the unlabelled Myst keyhole looking thing in the top right

click the unlabelled Myst keyhole looking thing in the top right

lol

The real story of trains more like

Lol just spent several minutes complaining to my wife that there’s no search, and invoked Myst as a comparison

gonna be legit pissed if he doesn't release some of this on vinyls

yeah this tuscaloosa performance has some great moments! it's got a really good "old man" on it with jack nitzsche's piano chords giving the verses a different shine, it's wonderful

haven't gotten there yet! excited. . . tuscaloosa has been released on vinyl i believes

sorry for another NYA user interface comment/question, but i'm basically just wondering:

1) when you click the little folder to get supplementary info about a song (lyrics, personnel, etc), is there a way to get back to this tracklist other than clicking the "Back" file cabinet button (NOT the browser's Back button)? If you actually look through the "folder" and the photos and lyrics and all that, you end up having to click the Back file cabinet button several times to get back to the tracklist?

2) is there a simple way to see how the songs are broken up between the Archives 2 discs/LPs? Again, looking at the tracklist/UI below, you can't tell where the live performances start and end, or really how it's organized at all

3) no big deal, I'm glad to just be listening! just wondering if anyone has solved these filing cabinet dilemmas

Also, I love this Tuscaloosa "New Mama". the TTN version is classic, of course, but it's neat to hear the band power through it Harvest style.

there are separate folders for each disc on the archives II (i think placed chronologically)

I've been browsing & listening with the Archives 2 wikipedia page up in another tab just to be able to quickly glance at what song is what, where the discs begin & end, etc

i'm realizing i can also click on the cover artwork within the folder to get to a tracklist for the disc (tuscaloosa on its own, and now i'm switching over to the santa monica TTN show)

still kind of weird, but i get it now! thanks tyler

I also would like to formally rescind my groaning upthread abt there not being enough new material on the new box, been listening nonstop and it all rules, might be close to shelling out for the box now tbh

old homestead disc is truly astounding — there's a whole extra ditch album in there. The Ditch Pentalogy!

agreed, by far my favourite disc. Yesterday I put together an 74-era comp that makes On the Beach seem upbeat in comparison:

Side A
-Little Wing
-Pushed It Over the End
-The Old Homestead
-Frozen Man
-Pardon My Heart
-Winterlong

Side B
-Revolution Blues
-Vacancy
-On the Beach
-One More Sign
-See the Sky About To Rain
-Give Me Strength

I love the sort of rave up on the final "think I'll get out of town" on the version of On the Beach on that disc.

that live On The Beach smokes

I didn't realize that was live but that makes sense.

also agreed on the old homestead--that's the one I'm thinking he needs to put on vinyl, alone with Dume

this is my version of the missing 1974 ditch album ... Frozenside / Countryside

Side A
1. Frozen Man
2. Pushed It Over The End
3. LA Girls and Ocean Boys
4. Bad News
5. One More Sign
6. Give Me Strength

Side B
1. Changing Highways
2. Homefires
3. Hawaiian Sunrise
4. Daughters
5. Love Art Blues

dumb question

is Old Homestead what would have been Oceanside/Countryside

no, oceanside / countryside is the early version of comes a time apparently ... I'm just borrowing/tweaking the title for fun.

ah right thanks

GAHHHH HOLY FUCK THIS ROXY SET

("Tonight's The Night Live")

Nils Lofgren shredding all over the fuckin place

(first listen, obv)

i listened to 5 of the 10 discs today.

it was a pretty great day!

Holy lol at the second Midnight on the Bay on Archives II. Neil does Jimmy Buffett.

lol have u ever heard 'Evening Coconut'?

No, but I am cracking up after I looked up the lyrics:

Evening coconut, evening coconut [x5]

lol

it's literally named after neil's yacht

Move over Powderfinger, we have a new contender.

lol

Look out, Mama,
there's a pina colada
comin' up the walkway.
With a big red umbrella,
and a platter of appetizers.

Shelter me from the skipper and the blender
Cover me with the thought that pulsed the mixture
Think of me as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so drunk
With so much left undone
Remember me to my boat
I know I'll miss her

Cover me with the thought that pulsed the mixture

Ha! These are great!

So, what if anything do yall think of The Times? Lots of complaints on Amazon, but I liked the phonebooth session well enough, so wondering about this.

pretty inessential, but it's OK. The version of "Little Wing" is lovely.

this has probably been noted a million times, but i love that part in Speakin' Out when he spotlights Nils Lofgren's guitar solo with an "Alright, Nils" that sounds just like "Alright Neils", which makes it sound like the entire band is named Neil too

Is this ever ending up on Apple Music/Spotify do we reckon? Will the separate albums surface on vinyl?

i bet it'll be on streaming services eventually.
he's said that they may put out separate albums on vinyl — specifically the Dume disc, but maybe others.

Loving the “Sleeps With Angels” mini doc up on NYA. One of my fave NYCH albums so it’s great to see them in the studio putting it together.

congrats on the sale

Is there some timing thing that has been triggering all of these catalog sales? Or just one of those, "hey, Dylan did this, must be some money to be made"?

My wife got me the much cheaper, second pressing of the Archives II box, can't believe I still have two more months to wait for it.

The only thing I can think of is that there are big holding companies willing to buy them up? Then again, there was that whole thing back when with Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and the rights to the Beatles and Buddy Holly and whatever else they could buy up, so catalogs as a commodity are nothing new. Bowie Bonds were a thing, too, though I don't know what happened in the end.

I subbed to the NYA today, loving Archives II so far. Raised On Robbery!!!

WTF at the company being named "Hipgnosis"
