Good to know he's only got (counts) 30 or so albums and boxed sets to catch up on.

crazy...

you know what would be really awesome?

an audio release of Trunk Show, cool band on that I don't think he ever used any other time? he gets into some really wild industrial feedback

yeah, that was a cool band, pretty versatile. there's a 2009 show on the timeline now — you have to be a "rust-tier" patron to listen though ... i haven't upgraded to that yet, but I might if he keeps it up with adding those full shows. That's like what the whole Archives should be really.

So it sounds like no individual releases of stuff like the Old Homestead and Odeon/Budokan, etc. from The Archives II?

I'd guess that's a no, just based on how it went with the first Archives

Thrasher's Wheat shows possible vinyl releases for Dume and Odeon Budokan as possible releases without a specific release date, so maybe those two might?

ignore the extraneous "possible releases"

Odeon Budokan would be a no-brainer standalone vinyl LP — it's the only disc on vol 2 designed for that format. would sell like hotcakes.

(other than homegrown, I guess)

Agreed. As much as I love the Dume disc, that seems an odd one to pull out for a vinyl release.

would be nice to have that powderfinger on vinyl tho

Fair, it's killer.

i put together a nice 35-minute playlist of the Zuma-era Crazy Horse outtakes — call it My Old Neighborhood, put it on LP and it'd be perfect:

Side A
Ride My Llama
Born To Run
Kansas
Hawaii

Side B
Sedan Delivery
Pocohontas
Powderfinger
River of Pride

Could probably put the original too far gone on there, too.

oh man nice sequencing

get tyler a job in Neil's vaults post-haste tbh

He should be the David Lemieux of Neil's world. A series of Tyler's Tapes archival live shows, monthly mountain side chat videos to hype them up.

i'm waiting for that phone to ring!

Young Shakespeare is out...as expected, good solo set, but have no idea why we needed a FIFTH solo live set from the early period of his career. For me, nothing will top Massey Hall...I dunno, there's Cellar Door, Canterbury House, and Riverboat too

but hey if you want more of him singing mostly After the Gold Rush live and Harvest stuff live

i'm waiting for that phone to ring!

the phone is already ringing, it's somewhere in neil's file cabinet at NYA. it's not THAT hard to find!

I was surprised by how much I like Young Shakespeare, honestly. I went into it expecting to be underwhelmed (as ums says, did we need more of this?), but it was really enjoyable!

But I'm really looking forward to those full band bootlegs later this year.

it's good! i'm not dissing it. like in a vacuum it's a good performance. but then i was curious about cellar door's tracklist and pulled that up on spotify (they both open w/"tell me why") and then got distracted by my daughter and came back and was like "yeah this young shakespeare is pretty good" and then realized i was listening to cellar door

all of them are good, i just don't personally need to own any more of them, like i said i'd reach for massey hall personally but i think they all are good examples of his live solo stuff during that period

It's a perfectly valid point, esp considering YS was recorded only three days after Massey.

i interviewed Poncho! (before you ask, we didn't have time to get to "doghouse" ... next time!)

https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2021/04/20/frank-poncho-sampedro-the-aquarium-drunkard-interview/

nice!

The Poncho interview is the best source of Neil dirt since "Shakey", amazing work, someone get Poncho to write a book!

That's great. Love that Poncho is making the rounds. It's a miracle that that guy is still alive, let alone still has all his fingers.

that was great, thanks tyler!

Really cool Tyler, great read!

so many good little interesting nuggets in that, awesome tyler!

Yeah, this is a terrific interview, thanks tyler.

great stuff. nice work!

thanks — the published interview makes my questions more coherent. the transcript is much more chris farley-esque. "when you guys recorded Cortez ... was that awesome?"

afterwards i did think about a book — seems like you miiiiiight be able to do a Crazy Horse bio without it being too redundant after Shakey. Not sure. Someone should do it.

I would buy it!

Great interview!!

what a great interview, jealous you got to speak to poncho!

this was a perfect 4/20 present, makes me wanna crank up some live Horse

I still want a Poncho shirt but I have a hunch Poncho has the only one.

just chiming in to say how much i enjoyed that interview

i only saw crazy horse twice - 2001 and 2012

2001 was a really solid selection of older songs - 2012 i really loved the psychedelic pill songs, it felt like it got close to that arc/weld feeling of touring a great new album where the (then) contemporary songs kinda feel like instant classics

oh whoops it was 2013! anyway time clearly meaningless for Crazy Horse

i saw them on that tour too, they were fucking great

they boiled a lot of boomer piss in the audience that night by playing 10 minutes of wailing feedback in the middle of the show instead of 'heart of gold' or whatever, there were numerous walkouts

just listening to the budokan set on archives ii now after reading the poncho interview and man he's really playing his ass off on 'drive back', the acid clearly agreed with him that night

xpost - it's kind of remarkable how long he's played crazy loud shit with crazy horse and how oblivious a significant portion of his audience seems to be shocked that he's not doing harvest

I've mentioned a friend before who claims to like Neil Young but "only his acoustic stuff," which really is actually not that much, especially considering this friend has without a doubt not bought anything by Neil Young in (er) decades, and is therefore probably only thinking of his '70s output. So, yeah, Harvest.

it was v funny to see some of the outraged faces around me as wave after wave of coruscating feedback crashed over them

speaking of which, a 2013 Crazy Horse show is the "Timeline Concert of the Week" at the Neil Archives site now ...

That Poncho interview is so great, tylerw. And imagining Neil and Crazy Horse playing "Tangled Up In Blue" with Dylan, fuuuuuuuck.

I love the idea of Dylan just sitting in a van out in front, listening to the Horse run loose.
