scraping together a few amazon.com gift certificates and getting in on the pre-order price will probably take the edge off this one.

wow, thanks man.

― Edward III, Friday, 16 March 2007 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

this will be the first box set i've ever bought. i'm dreading finding out how much this'll cost.

don't worry I'll hook you up with an illegal download just like you like

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 16 March 2007 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

Back to Mono goes for like $15 these days

― sexyDancer, Friday, 16 March 2007 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

timely

― modestmickey, Friday, 16 March 2007 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

This sounds fantastic. Just hope I don't have to sell a pint or two of blood to afford it.

thx for all the info shakey...i couldn't get the link on the mynah birds response to work...

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 16 March 2007 21:51 (nineteen years ago)

its supposed to be a link to the iTunes store entry for the Motown Box Set, which contains a few Mynah Birds singles. I think it comes up if you search for "Mynah Birds" in iTunes.

(btw I have not listened to them yet meself)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 16 March 2007 21:55 (nineteen years ago)

so just to backpedal a bit, does anyone else think it's kinda lame that the Fillmore and Massey Hall shows are apparently going to be included in the big box set? i mean, most hardcore Neil fans (who this archives box is almost certainly aimed at) are going to have already bought the single disc editions on the day they came out--even though the nerds (like, uh, me) already have them on bootleg! So if I get the 8 cd/2 dvd set later this year, I'll have three versions of the same show? I guess I'd rather just have a six disc/2 dvd set, if it'd be cheaper. anyway...

EBAY

― Edward III, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

more updates: Journey Through the Past is not gonna be included in the box set, either in music or film form. The DVDs are primarily home videos and unreleased live footage, young Neil driving his gear around in a hearse, etc. Stuff that was made for official release (like Human Highway or Rust Never Sleeps or Journey Through the Past) are not in there.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

that's kind of lame

― akm, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

was it confirmed that massey hall and fillmore are on this? Iwouldn't assume they are and have seen nothing to indicate taht they are

― akm, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

I think Neil said something like there would be spaces for them in the box design at least

― sexyDancer, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hoping there's a lot of mis-information floating around this thread because, to be perfectly honest, the more I'm reading the less I actually care about ever seeing these things. Releases I've already paid for? Home movies? Come on Neil.

thanks shakey

NEIL WHY U BRAEK HEART ALL TIME

― Edward III, Monday, 19 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

i would love to have a good copy of that 1974 bottom line show, but it's probably not up to neil's audio standards. er, and i guess it would go on massive box vol.2.

― scott seward, Monday, 19 March 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

vol 3. is gonna rule with 9 discs of NY classics done in "Trans" fashion

― sexyDancer, Monday, 19 March 2007 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

that's how I start each morning

― Edward III, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:53 (nineteen years ago)

hmm, yeah that 74 Bottom Line show is probably the best Neil Young bootleg ever (which is saying something). It ought to have been included as a bonus disc with the On The Beach reissue. But it's an audience recording (I think), so it probably won't be officially released. Still, I'm glad it exists in any form. That opening "Pushed It Over The Edge/Citizen Kane Jr. Blues" is up there with his finest never-released tunes. Wonder if there's a studio version of that song in the archives...I've heard the sort of wonky CSNY live rendition. Good, but not as good as the song deserves.

Anyhoo, don't mean to be ungrateful or anything. Regardless of what's on these Archive box sets and what's not ME LOVE NEIL YOUNG.

― tylerw, Monday, 19 March 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

News from Billboard:

"Massey Hall" and last fall's "Live at the Fillmore East" will be included in the box as bonus discs. The remainder of the chronological collection features material cut with Young's early Canadian band the Squires, recordings from the period during which he lived in Topanga Canyon, Calif., scores of previously unreleased studio tracks and a live disc drawn from a week's worth of concerts from the Toronto venue the Riverboat.

"This really is an audio biography, not a boxed set," enthuses Standish, who says three additional "Archives" boxes will follow. "The photos in the book are unbelievable. Those in and of themselves are incredible pieces of art."

The notoriously press-shy Young is expected to do some interviews in support of "Archives" but for now is not planning a tour around the release. "A lot of people don't realize how extensive and intense the Freedom of Speech tour he did with Crosby, Stills & Nash was," says Standish. "I think Neil is taking a little bit of a break at the moment. But you never know what's around the corner. If the muse moves him, anything can happen."

― tylerw, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

soooo, the Fillmore and Massey Hall shows are in addition to the 8 discs? Or what?
Also: "Notoriously press-shy?" I mean he doesn't give interviews every five minutes, but he's not exactly Dylanesque in this regard.

― tylerw, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

can anybody help me obtain the 74 Bottom Line show?

― QuantumNoise, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

btw,

if anyone were to email me at m@tt@[email protected]

there's a possibility you might end up receiving a yousendit link to the legendary "lost neil album" chrome dreams

― M@tt He1ges0n, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

matt, did you get that one when i posted it on nzbrd? def. my favorite of the stack of boots I got.

― ian, Monday, 26 March 2007 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

i got chrome dreams from a friend...did you post anything else on nzb brd?

i could also hook someone else up w/a so-so vinyl rip of time fades away. not the greatest quality.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 17:27 (seventeen years ago)

yeah! i look forward to enjoying it in my own inferior non blu ray way

― tylerw, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 17:37 (seventeen years ago)

"Blu Ray Way" is one of the most underrated Beatles song ever...

― henry s, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 19:39 (seventeen years ago)

When I read a story about this thing, I take whatever is said, especially if it's by Neil, and I add a "not" in front of it.

But I want to believe.

― Euler, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 21:06 (seventeen years ago)

I'll believe it when it's in my hands

― Vision, Friday, 31 October 2008 04:46 (seventeen years ago)

so is there really not going to be a plain old CD release of this? i see amazon has the blu ray and dvd versions ... both of which i can't afford or listen to.

― tylerw, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:49 (seventeen years ago)

lol @ $300. I know Neil is in his own world, but I can't imagine this is a good time to release music with that price tag. I hope there's a CD set, b/c I'd like to buy this, but Neil must have some idea how this stuff will work out otherwise in 2009.

― Euler, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:48 (seventeen years ago)

Dudes its not even Blu-Ray, Blue-Ray. Neil is WORKING ON NEW TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE THIS AWESOMELY AWESOME AND WORTH $300.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:50 (seventeen years ago)

Don't worry, Neil Young has a winning economic plan that ties in with the Archives.

does his hybrid lincoln continental have a blu ray machine is what i want to know

― tylerw, Friday, 31 October 2008 18:09 (seventeen years ago)

The archives box will be a bit too much for me, really. But does this mean that his back catalogue will finally get remastered afterwards too?

I mean, I can manage without what he has done for the past 35 years or so, but up to and including "Harvest", everything he did was great, whether it was alone, with CSNY or with Buffalo Springfield.

He and Joni went back to Spotify last year (or before that?) when their exclusive rights to Joe Rogan ended.

― Lithium Just Madison (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 21 October 2025 22:15 (seven months ago)

The important thing is that Archives III had been blocked from non-NYA streaming in favor of a sampler (shades of some of the bigger Dylan Bootleg boxes).

― Lithium Just Madison (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 21 October 2025 22:55 (seven months ago)

Full thing is on Qobuz

I read a couple posts on the Hoffman forums which were not entirely pleased with the new mix on Mirror Ball , but more that were thinking it sounded pretty good. Since I’m not nitpicky, I’m not too concerned. Going to try to pick that box up this weekend since I’ve been waiting for these to show up for years. Though apparently harvest moon is the same cut as the RSD release from a few years ago.
