Hi gbx, here's the entire Tzadik catalog in one massive, unwieldy playlist

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QzGKbxwEXyW5caVfcPqm1?si=MX0OKIvlS9iSnQiZrgi9gw&pi=u-qysLtrpeRI2L

Meanwhile, imagine being part of this blunt rotation

The '60s & '70s Joni albums are now up individually, as is Taming The Tiger (which was also absent from the initial uploads). Shine, however, is still missing.

Crosby back too

welp my tax return is coming the same week tix go on sale for an slc show, i guess it was meant to be.

Listening to the two released tracks from Fu##in' Up (Ragged Glory (Neil's Version)?) and they're...OK? Plenty of loud guitar, but additional instruments tucked into the corners of the arrangements. I'll give the whole album at least one listen when it's released. But he was a better singer 35 years ago, that's for sure.

I like his voice more than his guitar playing here, that feels more... labored than it used to. Still, makes me want to listen to Ragged Glory when he played all the right notes all the time

Premiere of the "lost" verses of Cortez The Killer

Neil opened the tour last night in San Diego with a 14' performance of Cortez which included two original verses not included in the original Zuma recording or at any time since.@NeilYoungNYA #NeilYounghttps://t.co/YSC2m74n1g

— Neil Young Unreleased - NYU (@UnreleasedNeil) April 25, 2024

New verses wherein we learn that Cortez was really innocent, and was on a quest to find the "Real Killers"...

Fu##in' Up: his guitar playing gets better as the album progresses though

I really hate the bowdlerization of the album title btw. The original song on Ragged Glory is printed as "F*!#in' Up"; they should have gone with that.

Fkkkin' Up

I didn't realize until I read the AMG review that this album was actually recorded live. I thought he went back into the studio to re-do the songs.

So nils lofgren is no longer in Crazy Horse and Micah Nelson is now, then

I thought it was touring conflicts with the E Street band

Ah right - that makes sense.

That clip is pretty scorching. It definitely drives home that these are some Old Guys, though.

yeah it's great wow

i was worried about nelson playing guitar cuz i think promise of the real stinks but he's really good and solid on that cortez, not doing too much

The best way to join Crazy Horse is not learn any of the songs and just have Neil tell you the chords as the curtain goes up

Cortez: I know the missing lyrics are in a book somewhere as "I ate that ocean wave" but I distinctly hear "thousand" in there (at 11:47 ) :-/

+ this isn't the first time new lyrics were added to Cortez, look:

If they were going to change it, it really ought to have been modernised in some way, e.g. F😜💩in Up!!!! 🤪

eggplant - peach, surely.

so weird to see neil back on spotify! i gotta admit i will be listening to him a bunch more in the car now

Imagine seeing the tracklisting back when the album was originally released and doing the “gee willikers, I wonder what that song is. Maybe it’s ‘Fartin’ Up’?”

I've got like 30 plus meal releases on vinyl, looking to add to it because why not. Out of releases from recent years, I've got hitchhiker, homegrown, songs for judy, tuscaloosa, TTN at the Roxy, rust bucket, Young shakespeare, citizen Kane Jr, Barn, Colorado. What should I prioritize next wrt rcent studio albums, official bootlegs, live releases...

Got to see him here in phx last night. Encore was Danger Bird!

New album sounds like a soundboard bootleg - is it? - and I'm all about it. The Horse marches on!

Kind of, I assume:

The album was recorded at a private birthday party held at the Rivoli in Toronto, Canada on November 4, 2023.

Surely the internet has identified the birthday girl or boy in TO?

it was the CEO of Canada Goose clothing, who is apparently one of the richest people in Canada

ain't singing for Pepsi, am singing for goose

Ahem

"Ain't singin' for Pepsi, ain't singin' for Coke
I will sing for Canada Goose, 'cause goddamn those are some nice coats"

I humbly apologize for badly redoing the same thing, months later :-(

That's ok. It's a pretty obvious connection/joke.

Saw Young & Crazy Horse tonight @ the huge Jiffy Lube Amphitheatre in Virginia 40 minutes or so from Washington DC. Nice rocking version of Powderfinger with the band, and tuneful takes of "I am a Child" and "Helpless" solo

I was there. Fantastic show.

US Secretary of State Blinken playing “Rockin in a Free World “ on guitar with a bar band in Ukraine, and then Neil Young adding that song as an encore in US had Young trending a bit on Twitter x.

i was there for that encore last night and i confess the name antony blinken did not cross my mind. pretty much exactly as great as so many other crazy horse shows i've seen thru the decades. that man and that band are miracles of nature. a little more low-end noise and feedback than usual, maybe, and they had to power through some annoying sound system glitches in the final 20 minutes, which they did with zen-like grace. neil miming and playing acoustic air guitar during the first breakdown was adorable. damn that version of "sedan delivery" during the encore -- ragged glory, as it were. and "vampire blues," hell yeah.

i was there too. was very pleasantly surprised to hear "vampire blues." bold move to start your show with the best song ever ("cortez the killer"), but he pulls it off.

one of my favorite moments was when the mic wasn't working so he thanked the crowd by shouting into his les paul pickups

thanked the crowd by shouting into his les paul pickups

oh yes that was great

i almost forgot about the organ dangling from the scaffolding for "like a hurricane." that was cool and amusing.

that was the only song that used the organ and it hung by the horse's head for the whole show

i was checking resale tickets for tonight's show but the price and for standing in the rain had me make other plans. obviously regretting it.

I heard tonight's show was supposed to be much better than last night's. Video for last night's is up FWIW:

FWIW, here's them in 2012, and I was at this show, about the same distance away too but in the center. They still sound great but seeing how much they've aged, I feel like this could be the last time they play NYC.
