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

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

Well??
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.
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.

(not that people think it's bad)
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.

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:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAlS378dxHM

"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.

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

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

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.

hell yeah Neil, that's why i use your shitty website!
this is wonderful news. i really, really love his early stuff
What's the difference between the Bootleg Series and the live shows released as part of Archives (Performance Series or whatever)?
He should just give every product he releases it's own Series name so it can be 1 of a series of 1.

Don’t know Stills input but the Stills-Young version of “Separate Ways” has goth-Neil vibes I wasn’t expecting.

ok, 1 Month after paying customs (they're a bit overwhelmed by the new EU import rules, apparently) I have the new Rust Bucket DVD ("New Audio") and okay, even though I could live with the previous sound, this sounds significantly better. Thanks, uncle Neil!

The official Carnegie Hall 1970 release is good. I haven't bought it though, I just streamed it because I'm wary of whether it's redundant. I lean towards his electric recordings, but so many of these live recordings have been solo acoustic and I'm not sure if I can really distinguish some of them in memory.
