I like how the cameraman has picked out the coolest members of a Neil Young audience.

so wait are these different versions of the same songs that are on the bootleg of the Chrome Dreams acetate? Because at one point he said he was going to issue Chrome Dreams.
Also what about the status of Homegrown and Oceanside/Countryside?
And I think he mentioned a Time Fades Away II once?

neil you've got me in a tizzy!!!!!!
only #braggin a little, but i've heard a stream -- i think that the "powderfinger" here is the same as on chrome dreams, but the rest of it is unbootlegged, i believe (not positive about "campaigner"). whole thing is pretty aaaaaaamazing as a whole. rumors of even more stuff coming in 2017.

i was kinda hoping will to love would also be on it, but maybe it's the same version from stars 'n bars, anyway?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:08 (seven years ago) link
this looks rad
― marcos, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:11 (seven years ago) link
xp "Will to Love" is from a different all-nighter with Briggs iirc?
― cwkiii, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:14 (seven years ago) link
yeah i believe so -- same era/studio, different night
― tylerw, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:17 (seven years ago) link
yea will to love was recorded at neil's ranch iirc
― marcos, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:21 (seven years ago) link
fireside, also very stoned
think it was overdubbed at Indigo in Malibu (iirc neil recorded the basic track somewhere else on 4-track)
― tylerw, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:26 (seven years ago) link
ya i think you are right re: overdubs

― marcos, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:29 (seven years ago) link
i hope the hitchhiker songs have a similar "stoney" vibe, because it's my favorite neil recording
― Karl Malone, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:32 (seven years ago) link
yeah it was pretty obvious the acoustic was done at a fireplace and overdubs in a studio.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 26 May 2017 15:33 (seven years ago) link
you can hear the distortion on the live vocals "S's" especially. imo the phasing was brought in to try and cover this up as well as enhance the watery feel.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 26 May 2017 15:36 (seven years ago) link
i just hope this actually comes out
― a (waterface), Friday, 26 May 2017 15:36 (seven years ago) link
looking likely -- though they just delayed the "original release series" set w/ Time Fades Away on CD lolz
― tylerw, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:41 (seven years ago) link
heh, the 1977 RS review of stars 'n bars is something else
Unless one understands the "On the Beach"/"Motion Pictures"/"Ambulance Blues" trilogy from On the Beach (and "Don't Be Denied" from Time Fades Away), one simply cannot write intelligently about Neil Young. But when one understands these songs, one begins to perceive the exciting possibility that perhaps Young is rock & roll's first (and only?) postromantic. That he knows something that we don't, but should. Indeed, I suspect that Young took one of the longest journeys without maps on record, never even slowed up at the point of no return, but somehow got back anyway, a better man with all senses intact. When nearly overwhelmed by marital difficulties and the death of friends, he apparently looked into himself and managed an instinctive or willed act of Jungian purification that put him somewhat safely on the far side of paradise, if not paradox.

When Neil Young performed with Crazy Horse at the Palladium in New York City almost two years ago, he made such an impression on me that sometime during the opening show (for which I had a ticket), I knew I had to see them all. For the first time in my life, I patronized the scalpers. Though the tickets cost something like thirty bucks apiece, they were the only way to get in, and I just couldn't let the music stop. Here was rock & roll so primal and unexplainable that I simply wanted to let it wash over me, pulse through me. When Young wandered out and began to play songs like "Cortez The Killer" and "Like A Hurricane" on his black electric guitar, I figured I'd at last found the perfect target for the most overused of adjectives: mythic. For once, none of the answers mattered, because the questions themselves formed such complete and satisfying entities - entities that had long crossed the border of Freudian logic and were now headed out toward the farthest of the far countries. Neil Jung, I wrote in my notebook. A not-inappropriate pun.

I wonder if Archives II doesn't happen as a box set, and ends up being a string of individual releases instead? Might make more sense economically. Liner notes have always been pretty thin on these, even on the first box, so it's not like we're waiting on a big accompanying book or anything.

― tylerw, Friday, 26 May 2017 18:35 (seven years ago) link
yeah i remember someone on ilm who worked for a WEA label said that there were stacks of that box set on the free table at company functions?
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 26 May 2017 18:37 (seven years ago) link
yeah i've bitched about it before, but it's just crazy that an artist of Neil Young's stature was totally outdone by, say, an obscure detroit gospel singer who was lucky enough to be reissued by Numero Group. fwiw, maybe the blu ray version was better, but that shit was way overpriced. and who has a blu ray?
― tylerw, Friday, 26 May 2017 18:41 (seven years ago) link
man imagine if Numero got ahold of NY's shit!
― a (waterface), Friday, 26 May 2017 18:49 (seven years ago) link
