Heylin's Behind the Shades basically repeats the same narrative for each and every Dylan album: that it coulda been something much greater had it been recorded/mixed/sequenced/whatever differently. You come away with the feeling that Dylan's career was just one huge missed opportunity

I love Neil, but Archives remains a shit deal. I can't justify it. Such a pity that he isn't as laissez-faire as Dylan, and can't allow something à la Bootleg Series.― Duke, Thursday, September 4, 2014 6:17 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkthe performance series is pretty similar, no?― mizzell, Friday, September 5, 2014 5:48 PM (3 hours ago)

Fair point. But there could be so much more.

You doubters will be shocked and saddened when Neil suddenly makes dozens of shows available for download exclusively to those who bought the Blu-ray edition.

He's always thinking about what he's doing today and tomorrow, and right now he has acoustic shows, Pono and he's working on a fiction novel."
Not mentioned: Archives 2.

Ha those poncho interviews are so funny. For a guy who has been pretty close to shakey for 40 years he still has zero idea what is going to happen next.

Yeah, and apparently they don't exactly hang out while on tour if Frank had to send Neil an email about set list suggestions.

After he wraps his current tour in October, Young will continue work on Archives II, the follow-up to 2009's Archives, which collected unreleased material up to 1972. Young says the project will include Dume, an album of songs from the Zuma era, and Hitchhiker, an acoustic LP from the mid-Seventies. The major holdup has been developing technology for presenting the ambitious project: "We're gonna have a website that's, like, 60 years of music in chronological order, with links so you can look at my archives and play the music off the high-res source at the same time." So what's it like to reflect on all he's accomplished over the years? "I don't," he says. "I need to take a break and go to the bathroom."

also no mention of the albums Homegrown, Oceanside/Countryside, or the original Chrome Dreams??
would "Dume" or "Hitchhiker" be another name for one of those?
Chrome Dreams definitely existed, I have a bootleg of it, and it think it might have even gone to test pressing before being pulled
― Steve Gunn Mann-Dude (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 16:39 (seven years ago) link
yeah i think this is just in addition to those other ones -- Dume and I'm assuming Hitchiker are collections that have been recently put together, as opposed to albums that were sequenced and prepped back in the 70s.
but it's just crazy, does neil young even look at the internet? why does he care about a website. put out DUME on vinyl, that's all you need to do. it'll look and sound great!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 16:42 (seven years ago) link
tbh I really love the version of "Hitchhiker" one Le Noise, I love the songs on that where the song quality actually rises to the level of the production and that vers. is p psychedelic
― Steve Gunn Mann-Dude (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 16:44 (seven years ago) link
yeah that one is great ... probably mentioned above, but neil's people talked about these coming out separatelyFour unreleased albums from this period are being rebuilt and will be available in the NYA Special Release Series. Chrome Dreams, Homegrown and Oceanside-Countryside are the three unreleased studio albums. Also from this period is the unreleased Odeon-Budokan live recording produced by David Briggs and Tim Mulligan. These albums initially will be released in vinyl from analog masters as they originally were created for that format.

sweet i hope they stick to that plan
― Steve Gunn Mann-Dude (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
or better yet can Bob Dylan's management and production team stage a hostile takeover of Neil's archives and handle it from here on out?

Oh, man, what a bummer. If Neil is designing a website to play music, that means the internet is truly on the cusp of irrelevance. RIP internet.

Hm, he says you can "see" unreleased albums, but doesn't explicitly say you can stream them. It would be incredible, though, if he just dumped everything onto the site. And "associated...films and videos" would theoretically mean the '76 Crazy Horse tour...!
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 4 August 2017 15:24 (six years ago) link
haha, yeah, pretty vague at the moment -- will there be things on here from 64-72 that weren't on the archives box set? i don't really know anything else.

I think it's been locked out of the market by the domestic reissue, but there used to be a nice official German press of Zuma that retailed for about $15.

Considering it's all acoustic I really like the energy of this OG "Hitchhiker" (the song), at least in its first two and half minutes or so.
― Jeff W, Friday, 4 August 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
yeah, so good. i do wonder if there's a crazy horse version from that era in the vaults. i can imagine it, anyway.
― tylerw, Friday, 4 August 2017 19:22 (six years ago) link
Neil has a very heavy downstroke/palm mute on/off thign on acoustic, he can get a real heavy feel to an acoustic song that no one else quite does
