Yes, I started a blog: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/
It is going to mainly focus on fuzzy live recordings from the past 50 or so years. So far, I've posted an incredible Television show from 1978, and a similarly incredible Neil Young show from 1974. So, yeah, that kind of thing. Future posts will include: Pavement, Richard Thompson, Don Cherry, Hank Williams, Sr., the Velvet Underground ... and more Neil Young and Television. Expect good times and tape hiss. And long-winded reminiscences in the comments section from my older brother.

great blog! I listened to the Television show and it's great; I already knew the "Marquee Moon" (totally epic version, maybe definitive?) from this set but the rest is great too.
― Euler, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 01:18 (4 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, I think in terms of live "Marquee Moon"s it's between that one and the one from "The Blow Up" ... Just awe-inspiring music.

glad you like it! those feelies bootlegs occasionally take the coveted "my favorite thing ever" title. i reeeeealllly want to be in a band that sounds like that. but i can't find other people who want to be in a band like that. anyone? lots more television coming up -- i think i'm going to do a series of posts through the years, starting with the richard hell days.

tyler:
this neil boot is obv awesome.
but what the hell is up with the audience..they are like cutting up during "long may you run" like it's some kinda fuckin' joke...wanna travel back in time and strangle these smug hippies.
― stank pony (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 17:32 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah, and they all laugh at the ambulance blues "you're all just pissin in the wind" line. Funny, "Long May You Run" sort of *seems* like a joke song, but I actually think it's one of Neil's most touching songs. The Beach Boys line (which yeah, the audience on that boot totally guffaws at) always gets me, as a former SoCal guy.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 17:35 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah i think long may you run is totally touching.
but i guess the beach boys line would hit ppl different then, pre all the "OMG smile is a lost classic brian is a genius" stuff...i guess they were just nerd band then probably.
― stank pony (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 17:38 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah, i'm sure a beach boys reference in 1974 would have people thinking lol corny beach boys ... though I'm sure Neil was always pretty into them -- "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is on that Journey Through the Past sdtk from around the same time.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 17:41 (4 years ago) Permalink
he was also bros with dennis wilson back in the manson days i think. some sweet times, i'm sure.
I don't see how "Long May You Run" could be heard as a joke song, but the Bottom Line version is so...downbeat and intense, I don't see how they bust out. At first I thought it was because of something else that was happening, like someone falling over in the audience, but no, they laugh at particular lines of the song. The reaction to "the last time I saw you alive" is especially weird.
― Euler, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 17:45 (4 years ago) Permalink
well, there's something funny about the concept of singing a downbeat, intense love song to your car, but Neil ends up selling it more convincingly than some of his actual love songs.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:22 (4 years ago) Permalink
hah! I've never listened closely enough to the words to pick up that it's sung to his car (despite listening to the song for 20 years now). Even in the original version he emotes so well that yeah, it comes across as serious rather than jokey.
― Euler, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:24 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah, it's def. about his car! kinda wry, but overall, I think it's in earnest! Dude loves his cars.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:29 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah I get it now, the "chrome heart" business, long may you run rather than malfunction. I could see laughing now except for the way Neil pulls it off on the boot, so slow.
― Euler, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:31 (4 years ago) Permalink
plenty more Neil on the way, once I get through with this epic television overview I've got planned. might go deep into the 80s with neil next time. was just listening to a great int'l harvesters set.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:26 (4 years ago) Permalink
hey tyler since u seem to be a neil bootleg ninja...
is there a different version of "ordinary people" floating around, without the bad 80s production that's on the "chrome dreams II" version?
― stank pony (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 22:16 (4 years ago) Permalink
there's a live version with the Bluenotes, but it sounds essentially the same -- almost like they recorded it on the same day! i made a neil young in the 80s bootleg mix a while back with that, the 20-minute crime in the city, interstate and a bunch of other interesting stuff. maybe i'll post that as the next neil installment.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 22:22 (4 years ago) Permalink
wow, that would be great! I've never heard the 20 min "Crime In The City".
What about the Eldorado EP? I guess that's not technically a bootleg but I've never heard it...the ones floating around the net seem to just be the versions off Freedom plus "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love", but I gather there's a different version of "Don't Cry" that's like a minute longer (all feedback). I'd love to hear it sometime.
― Euler, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 22:41 (4 years ago) Permalink
i might be wrong but i think the songs from the el dorado EP that also show up on Freedom are the same versions? Maybe they're different mixes. the long "Crime in the City" is definitely worth hearing! A lot of verses!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 23:53 (4 years ago) Permalink
ok, even more Television has been posted. We're not even past 1975! This show is a great one though. Maybe the best pre-Marquee Moon show ...

"Dude loves his cars"
And his dogs.A friend of mine had a 1976 bootleg from Osaka, I think - I remember it being totally killer, do you maybe have something like that too? :)
― Marco Damiani, Thursday, 2 April 2009 07:13 (4 years ago) Permalink
yeah the osaka 1976 show was one of the first neil bootlegs i ever heard, i think -- a friend bought it on tape at some random pasadena record store. it's incredible -- that whole 1976 Japanese tour is one of the best Neil Young/Crazy Horse period. There'll definitely be some of that on the blog soon.

― Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:08 (7 months ago) Permalink
nope it's from the same tour, but a diff show. setlists were pretty static during that tour. i think the budokan show has "cowgirl" in place of "down by the river" but they might be exactly the same otherwise.

Keep forgetting to visit yr blog. Got that Beefheart instrumental "Clear Spot" from you which is definitely worth listening if you are stupid enough to think that Beefheart had lost some sort of edge on "Clear Spot" - something like "Crazy Little Thing", which sounds sort of conventional on the actual album, is actually completely nuts when you hear the instrumental version. Zoot Horn is giant.
