More Horse is certainly great news, but I'm seeing that it sounds like he pulled the Bootleg Series releases from his schedule? I'm not a NYA subscriber and not about to try to navigate, but the folks over at H0ffman boards are saying they are gone from the site's calendar. Not sure if this is due to vinyl delays or what, but bummed if these aren't going to come out.

there's always the possibility that whoever runs the archives just took down the entire bootleg "drawer" out of the "cabinet" so he could edit it (in pen, of course), so perhaps next time you "check the cabinet" it'll be back in there, possibly near the front. or the very back

if i was running his website i would just have everything be post-it notes. the entire website, notes all over the place, buried dozens of notes deep. it would be called thispostitnoteisforyouneilyoung.com

I could see this being a possibility. I'm sure Neil would rather delay the release of all formats than release the CDs first and the vinyl later.

Yeah, that would make a lot of sense to me too and I hope that's the issue, rather than just another Neil plan that fizzles out just before they were to get released.

I just saw an ad on fb for the Muddy Track DVD...has this been out for a while? I’m kind of weirded out that I missed any announcements about it.

Three more: This Note's for You, Chrome Dreams II (why "II"?), and Le Noise.

I'm a real downer on this thread, I know. My first engagement with Neil Young in high school was so intense--only thing ever to rival it was Husker Du in my early 20s--that everything I've listened to since exists in the shadow of that. I can count the later (meaning 1990 and beyond) songs on one hand where I felt something that came close to what I felt then: "Over and Over," "Driftin' Back," and (weird one, I know) "Scenery."

So there were a few songs that sounded pretty good--"Sunny Inside," "Ordinary People" and "Shine a Light," "Sign of Love" and "Someone's Gonna Rescue You"--and, except for the first two songs on This Note, nothing sounded egregiously bad. I'm listening in the car; most everything went right past me.

I'll plunge ahead. I see now that some of those most recent eight release are live are compilations, so when I get these eight, I'll count that as having everything (and any new studio release that appears in the interim): Greendale, Fork in the Road. A Letter Home, Storytone, The Monsanto Years, Peace Trail, The Visitor, Colorado. I could buy them all tomorrow, obviously, but I'm looking for used copies in physical record stores.

"live or compilations"

Chrome Dreams II is the sequel to a scuttled 70s studio album that was never released is (maybe? was?) going to be issued as part of the Archives series a la Homegrown

I've a lot of affection for A Letter Home, but it's a weird, weird record

burnt hombre (stevie), Monday, 28 June 2021 09:57 (three years ago) link

I picked up a copy of Ragged Glory at the weekend, pretty pleasing as you don't see vinyl versions of that one around too much over here in the UK. Now to compare the studio recordings with those on Rust Bucket!

Neil S, Monday, 28 June 2021 10:23 (three years ago) link

That was the first Neil studio album I bought, after entering the world of Neil with Weld. I have a beaten-up CD copy of it, was hoping Neil would get around to the vinyl reissue he trailed a couple of years ago some time soon!

burnt hombre (stevie), Monday, 28 June 2021 10:55 (three years ago) link

hard to believe that Neil would announce something like that then it just not happen!

Neil S, Monday, 28 June 2021 10:58 (three years ago) link

I only just found out about (or just remembered) Colorado's existence last week, so I'm listening to it this morning. I'm on the one big long track ("She Showed Me Love," 13:37) now and it's pretty good in a totally unsurprising way.

but also fuck you (unperson), Monday, 28 June 2021 11:58 (three years ago) link

it's all one big long track

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere >> After the Goldrush for me

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 28 June 2021 12:36 (three years ago) link

i'm looking forward to my first listen to Blue Note Cafe and A Treasure! was not a fan of either of the time periods they cover, but maybe i was hearing the wrong stuff!

― Karl Malone,

Well??

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 28 June 2021 12:36 (three years ago) link

If Everybody Knows This is Nowhere has fallen in favour, it might be because its three best-known songs (out of seven) appear on both Decade and Greatest Hits?

Halfway there but for you, Monday, 28 June 2021 14:07 (three years ago) link

That is, fallen OUT OF favour.

Halfway there but for you, Monday, 28 June 2021 14:07 (three years ago) link

why are we saying it's fallen out of favor?

tylerw, Monday, 28 June 2021 14:42 (three years ago) link

oh that was just me upthread, I just feel like it doesn't get discussed as one of the very best neil records? but that could just be my impression.

EKTIN is so classic, maybe ppl just went overboard praising the ditch trilogy etc at the expense of the early classics

I suspect this may be true, people tend to go overboard on the (so-called) ditch trilogy.

Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Monday, 28 June 2021 14:50 (three years ago) link

I'd say every subsequent Young album follows Everybody Knows' template. If he'd died in 1972, that album would fairly represent his strengths and few of his weaknesses.

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 28 June 2021 15:16 (three years ago) link

It's his first release that reveals (one of) his own style(s), but in what sense did it set the template for Gold Rush, Harvest, Tonight's the Night etc?

Halfway there but for you, Monday, 28 June 2021 15:26 (three years ago) link

The mournful ballads, buckets of crunch-guitar, epics, terse little indescribable things.

From the tail-end of the Mirror Ball sessions: Merkin Ball, so-called EP, actually a single, with Neil playing and maybe singing a little back-up---listen on headphones! Too bad the album wasn't more like this, but Vedder was afraid to come out his house because stalker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB2W3vuzVGk

Live acoustic version of that second song, "Long Road," also w Neil (from a fairly remarkable, barely post-9/11 benefit:

dow, Sunday, 4 July 2021 00:39 (three years ago) link

"The Long Road" with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan from the Dead Man Walking soundtrack may be the best thing Eddie Vedder ever did.

Hideous Lump, Sunday, 4 July 2021 06:24 (three years ago) link

I Got Shit/ID is one of my favourite PJ recordings, and Neil's guitar throughout is just absolutely inspired.

“Merkin Ball?” Didn’t know these austere dudes had a sense of humor

According to Shakey, Neil actually has seen E.C's balls, so he knows what's what.

Clapton would've done his legacy a huge favor if he died in 1972.

"Tweet unavailable". What was it? Neil dissing Clapton?

I'm sure this would be a devastating diss if an elderly Clapton had any hope of navigating Neil's bullshit website.

So the Demme doc is great but there was a moment where I saw EmmyLou holding backing vocal court and wanted to hear that story.

Shakey Pictures Records and Reprise Records are now happy to announce the first of a new series - The Neil Young Official Bootleg Series -- Carnegie Hall 1970 , available on double vinyl, double CD and High Res Digital on Friday, October 1, and for pre-order starting Friday August 20, at The Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives ( NYA) . Five more series selections will become available in 2022.

Carnegie Hall , the first release, recorded on original analog multitrack, was mixed by “The Volume Dealers” -- Neil Young and Niko Bolas. This recording was made from the show on December 4th, 1970 and it was the first time Neil ever walked onstage at Carnegie Hall. There were two shows at Carnegie Hall, one on the 4th and one followed at Midnight the next morning. No bootleggers ever captured this first show, and it was, by far, a much superior show according to NY.

The concert’s generous setlist covers one of the most revered eras of Young’s career, with stripped-down versions of the tunes “ Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,” “Down By the River,” “Helpless,” and “Sugar Mountain” plus “ After the Goldrush ,” from the album of the same name, released only nine weeks prior to the Carnegie Hall show. Neil even plays the poignant songs “ Bad Fog of Loneliness,” “Old Man,” and “See the Sky About to Rain” before they were recorded and released. Carnegie Hall is an album full of gems.

OBS 1: Carnegie Hall 1970
