there's a good bootleg summary in issue 004 (btw i love the optimistic 3 digit numbering system)
the results of the first Broken Arrow fan poll, from issue 3:

...and the final results, from issue 6:

i'll stop summarizing (or i'll continue, if people find it helpful) but it's actually a really good, kickass zine! there are lots of things in them that i really appreciate, like full transcriptions of radio interviews, attempts to exhaustively list all the covers of neil's songs (starting in issue 006), the aforementioned bootleg reviews, xeroxed copies of nme reviews, extended interviews with people like dave fanning (issue 029), etc

Nice! I had a couple of these back in the day, thanks for the heads up ....

ned retweeted it, so it's him we have to think.
i love a good zine. these are all fresh to me. i wish more fanzines would be digitized like this.

think thank
Yeah the VU what goes on zine would be good too ...Maybe it’s out there somewhere.
― tylerw, Saturday, 15 September 2018 00:11 (five years ago) link
my dream job, which i just thought of, is for someone to pay me the bare minimum livable amount to seek out full collections of those kinds of zines and make them available online
― https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZZlQ4Tmrc (Karl Malone), Saturday, 15 September 2018 00:21 (five years ago) link
i would guess that the difficult part is obtaining permission to make them available online from the artists and zinemakers, rather than the difficulty of finding them

otm, although older stuff can be very hard to find (e.g. older role-playing games & related scifi fanzines)

god damn I am really feeling this Harvest Moon vinyl reissue, I've played it once or twice before but here on the cusp of the equinox it resonates particularly well
― sleeve, Saturday, 15 September 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
That album is so lovely, was listening just last week and it (like Freedom) still sounds like a timeless classic.

I saw "Songs For Judy" yesterday at the record store and I didn't get it cuz I had other things I was looking for (Xmas gifts) & also the album cover is just awful
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 10 December 2018 20:20 (five years ago) link
haha yeah, the cover is baaaad. really is such a sweet collection of music though ...
― tylerw, Monday, 10 December 2018 20:22 (five years ago) link
I didn't even realize it was out, for some reason I had it in my head it wasn't coming out for awhile? Probably becuz I assume that with all Neil.
I wish this were a box set with a double disc collection of the Crazy Horse sets as well.
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 10 December 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
Tyler - were these the "Bernstein Tapes" in bootleg form?
Yeah this kinda passed me by
― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 December 2018 20:41 (five years ago) link
this is basically the Bernstein Tapes, yes
I love Neil but could go the rest of my life without ever hearing another solo acoustic NY performance

otm
― Οὖτις, Monday, 10 December 2018 21:15 (five years ago) link
I mean I do like that stuff when I'm in the mood for it but there's also pleeeeeenty of it
yeah these are just the Bernstein Tapes. really should've added a second disc of crazy horse stuff, the '76 bootlegs rip. love this period's solo acoustic jams, though! he's looooose. seems like it was a pretty improv'd release — wasn't even rumored as a possible thing until a month and a half ago.

I'm kinda relieved as weird as Neil can be that he didn't end up being a Trump apologist
― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 December 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
there's at least one more solo acoustic performance series he's planning — the boarding house shows from 1978. oh and maybe Solo Trans (a little bit unclear as to what that will include).
― tylerw, Monday, 10 December 2018 21:47 (five years ago) link
Solo Trans I'm super excited for....
Do you think they'll release that wacky Trans tour thing where Nils looks like he's a space ninja?
― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 December 2018 21:57 (five years ago) link
I've got the video of that.

Not much use as I don't have a video player anymore.
― Monica Kindle (Tom D.), Monday, 10 December 2018 22:00 (five years ago) link
Solo Trans is weird because I think it's the soundtrack to the 1983 video (which is pretty rare) and it doesn't even have any Trans songs on it haha. It does have the shocking pinks! i imagine he'll put the Berlin Trans show up on the Archives at some point ... there's just one video up there now. anyone else subscribe? $20 ... nothing tooooo amazing up there just now. we'll see.
― tylerw, Monday, 10 December 2018 22:05 (five years ago) link
if anyone's got it, I'd like to see that recent video of Neil tearin up Born in the USA at some show with suit people again

who's on backing vocals? lofgren?

All this stuff is cool I think the frustration is that there is so much more interesting stuff out there, esp Homegrown, Oceanside/Countryside, Chrome Dreams
In a weird way, it's not the *best* but I really love Bluenote Cafe because I really wasn't looking forward to it and it turned out to such a good surprise, also obviously it has Doghouse, the best Neil Young song

I remember bringing this up somewhere on a Neil thread about how "War Song" was issued on a after the fact various artists comp. I've recently discovered which one: Hard Goods, a pretty sweet Warner Loss Leader album wherein Neil'n'Graham rug shoulders w/Kiss, Zappa, Steeleye Span, Foghat, Leo Sayer, Robin Trower, and this archival thing featuring John Denver, which comes after WS to close side 3:

That's great.
I don't know much about CSN, but I'm always impressed by Stills' singing and soloing. Or, you know, how Neil always looks like the most sober one on stage. And that's being generous, esp, when you see this awesome video again:
