"goin back" and "already one" are songs that really stood out the last time i played it.

Comes a Time is easy to underrate, considering what's before and directly after.

yeah, i might rate it as his least essential 70s album, but it is still totally essential.
― tylerw, Saturday, 8 June 2013 02:17 (eleven years ago) link
well, AS&B is his least essential.

sometime i'm going to have to listen to side a of American Stars and side b of Hawks and Doves back to back.
― da croupier, Saturday, 8 June 2013 02:42 (eleven years ago) link
though side a of Hawks & Doves followed by side b of American Stars would obviously be a cooler album

The unreleased Chrome Dreams might be a top 5 neil record, had some stuff from as&b

For some reason I always think of "Comes a Time" as the start of his '80s period. Like, a salve after "Rust Never Sleeps," before Neil drinks deep from the mug of mediocrity. If anything, the disc serves as a reminder that he's always been weird and erratic. Did "Rust Never Sleeps" take people by surprise?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 8 June 2013 13:46 (eleven years ago) link
Side A of Comes a Time is one of the best sequences of songs in Neil's back catalogue. It does feel like a sequel to Harvest but it's missing the more melodramatic moments, it's breezier on the whole. Silver and Gold and Prairie Wind are very much in the same mold I think.
― Gavin, Leeds, Saturday, 8 June 2013 14:48 (eleven years ago) link
Comes A Time also his first genuine hit since Harvest; it paved the way for RNS-LR.
― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
I think the proper sequel to Harvest was Oceanside/Countryside which is supposed to be on the next Archives, I think that's the one Neil thought was ”too good” to release
― unfinest DN (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:13 (eleven years ago) link
Never heard of Oceanside/Countryside before, did any material get reused on later albums?

Love Chrome Dreams. Hangs together so much better than AS&B, and that version of "Too Far Gone" is tremendous.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Saturday, 8 June 2013 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
Theres also the unreleased album Homegrown from that era

― unfinest DN (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 8 June 2013 18:29 (eleven years ago) link
i dunno, i think stars and bars is a totally strong album, even the throwaways are fun. and the guitar sound on the crazy horse/saddlebags tracks is A++++. chrome dreams is probably a bit better, tho, yeah. i'm under the impression that several of the oceanside/countryside tracks ended up on side 1 of hawks and doves.
― tylerw, Saturday, 8 June 2013 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
I do like AS&B, but once I heard Chrome Dreams, Neil's vision became that much clearer.
That said, I'm glad he put out AS&B and held back some of the Chrome Dreams stuff for Rust Never Sleeps; ultimately, it was worth it.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Saturday, 8 June 2013 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
I saw a track listing of oceanside online but it had to be fake cuz there were way too many songs on each side to fit on a vinyl record

The Neil gig was pretty good and I've been digging into hitherto unexplored areas of his catalog; mostly the post-Rust Never Sleeps era. I bought Hawks and Doves and am liking it, although at a mere half hour, it feels like a slight addition to his oeuvre.
Anyone have any particular favourite Neil albums between 1980-88?

On D1mead0zen at the minute.
The Ducks (short-lived band of Neil Young, Bob Mosley, Jeff Blackburn and Johnny C. (Craviotto). "July, 1977" compilation Santa Cruz, California, USA
EX soundboard! - Previously uncirculated!
This just came my way from a friend who I recently met here in Santa Cruz. It came from outside of the "tape collecting world" from cassettes squirreled away many years ago and were just transferred to share for the first time. The other three members besides Neil Young were associated with Moby Grape and this band only did perhaps 20 shows or so at most, and all in the Santa Cruz area. No soundboard recordings of live shows have circulated til now and nothing has ever been released in any form by this band. I transferred two 90 minute compilations of live tracks that were not well labeled but they are from more than one night with the likely venues being The Catalyst and The Crossroads. (This torrent is from two 46 minute cassettes and was labeled as being from July, 1977 but some of it actually may be from August, 1977.)

A friend of mine was there. He's the Fenway Park organist and a huge Spooner Oldham fan, and was pretty pleasantly surprised to see Neil show up. Posted about 20 fb updates with many exclamation points.

haha, awesome, yeah thought that was spooner there. i would post lots of exclamation points if i was seeing neil young play guitar at a club that size. johnny d's is probably , what, 300 capacity? when i lived out there, i saw richard buckner play there, if that gives any indication.

It was funny, all the fb comments were "Neil played in a club?! How did I not know about this?!"
I can't even fathom how mindblowing that would be to see Neil just pop out of the shadows like that.
