neil young

I saw him in 2001 and there were no giant amps that I recall - but in 2013 he had all the giant stage props and istr scientists with clipboards and lab coats scurrying around! really appreciated the dumbness of it!

2001 had a fantastic setlist of all the songs you'd want them to play but 2013 was the better show for me - the psychedelic pill material really gave the set purpose and cohesion

So they just dropped "Everybody's Alone" on streaming as a single with a vintage black & white cover pic of the Whitten-era band with the title "Early Daze"...

Facebook banner describes it as a "Historic Collection of Early Recordings from 1969" and it's out via Reprise on June 28th.

Very excited to see them in a few days, along with my dad. Will be my first time seeing Neil, his second - the first was at Woodstock. Was thinking about that yesterday and getting really tripped out about it, wondering if I'll be lucky enough to see 2 shows by the same artist 55 years apart, the mind reels

This early crazy horse single sounds great, look forward to the album

Kind of a slacker indie 90s vibe tbh

UMS and I drove to the Chicago gig, which was "postponed" but of course wasn't announced as such until we were at the venue and the whole rest of the trip was, at times a challenge and UMS kept saying "man, none of this would be bugging me if we had seen a great Neil Young show last night"

Hopefully everyone is ok

lol such a bummer, we were all just sitting in the uber stunned when we saw the "concert cancelled" sign

oooof. feels like neil should be gifting everyone who was canceled on a free year of archives subscriptions or something. and a hand-rolled joint? someone else i know flew to austin only to have lightning cancel the show.

He should let us decide what the next Archives release is

I admit I'm a little bit concerned about this, plz post any updates here

Man I would like to have a concrete update, naturally a lot of rumors flying out there without anything official to fill the vacuum.

from a facebook neil group guy: "For those just a little concerned over the lack of any news, I have heard from someone definitely in the know that in terms of the reported illness, “everything is ok and nothing serious”."

Yeah weirdly the lack of updates convinced me that it wasn't anything to be alarmed about, though obv these are some well-rode horses so it is always a concern but seems like a "no news is good news" sitch

I also drove through 3 hours of some the worst driving weather I've experienced in a long time so I trying to be philosophical about the whole deal
