Liked the vid, didn't like the song...I just didn't want to hear the same thing over and over after a minute or so.

Well, tonight's the night: At the stroke of midnight, Neil Young will premiere his new album, Fork in the Road, on MySpace. Fans of Young's guitar salvos can stream the entire album for free before it goes on shelves April 7.

guitars sound great .. so far, better than Living With War -- I was basically expecting this to part 2 of that album.

did you like Living With War? I thought it was great...

i liked it when it came out, but it's not something i have any urge to listen to very often.

the cover of this one is hilarious

haven't bought this yet ... but probably will ... Neil's setlists look intense on his current tour. pretty heavy tonight's the night stuff! Speakin' Out / Tonight's The Night / World On A String / Albuquerque ... urgh i may have to shell out the $100 for the Denver show.

so i went and made an 80-minute Neil Young in the 00s mix, and honestly, after listening to all these records again, it seems like kind of a weak decade. Not terrible, but just not a lot of classic tunes ... Silver & Gold is really the only album I really enjoyed hearing all the way through. But it's not a bad 80 minutes -- send me a webmail if you want to hear it ...

Can you just post the track listing?

anyone else heard the recent Dreamin' Man live '92 set? listening now for the first time and think it's a real improvement on Harvest Moon
― pobrecito (outdoor_miner), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 03:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I like it-- wouldn't call it an improvement but I like Harvest Moon a lot.

Is there any other artist who's been making music for pretty much five full decades who we actually might expect would be putting out in his 6th? Like "the 00s were a little weak, but there might be some right nuggets in the 10s."
― Did you say you were going to mangle the light? (staggerlee), Friday, 15 January 2010 03:53 (fourteen years ago) link
dylan's 00s were pretty tight and his 10s could be even better

really like dreamin' man too. just disappointed there will only be 9 more live archivealbums recorded between the 1970-1992 period
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 15 January 2010 09:28 (fourteen years ago) link
is that official? i remember there being a list of possible releases, but I think it turned out that was just conjecture on the part of a fan ...
― tylerw, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:02 (fourteen years ago) link
(still need to get Dreamin' Man)
There's no official list, but Dreamin' Man is labelled 'Archives Performance Series No. 12', so you can probably make a decent stab at what 4-11 will be.
― Joe Tackleberry (Some guy from Goole), Friday, 15 January 2010 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, i mean Dreamin' Man might not be the last one ... There's gotta be an uhhh Mirror Ball tour CD, right? Right?
― tylerw, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah...but i was thinking this was gonna be a really long term archive project so a bit disappointing at the small amount of shows
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:16 (fourteen years ago) link
* for that period
I've heard Dreamin' Man and it's pretty nice but nothing more. But maybe it will reveal more secrets next listening.
― Euler, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe discs 13-25 will just cover '93-'97 (inc. complete Old Princeton Landings recordings, obv), who knows? But yeah, considering how everyone talks about that European tour with Pearl Jam in Shakey I'd be amazed if there's nothing released from it.

yeah, totally ... i mean, there are a ton of under-represented (and great) live bands/tours in Neil's career, esp. post 70s. Int'l Harvesters, Young & Restless, Mirror Ball Band .. . Trans Band, Shocking Pinks!

here's that list of possible performance series thangs -- again, no idea if this is official or just someone filling in the blanks0 Canterbury 19681 Riverboat 19692 Fillmore 19703 Massey Hall 19714 Time Fades Away II 19735 Rainbow 19736 Doom Tour 19747 Hammersmith/Budokan 19768 Boarding House 19789 Trans Tour 198210 Int Harv/Grey Riders 198511 Bluenotes 198812 Dreamin Man 1992

tyler, you might know: are there any performances of "Cortez" from 1976 that are long, say 20+ minutes? I have two 1976 shows, one from March in Paris and one from November in Chicago. He only plays "Cortez" at the first and it's an 8 minute version, in the same spirit as the album version. But did he ever really cut loose on "Cortez" in 1976?
― Euler, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think so! All the ones I've heard don't stretch past 10 minutes. even the 1976 version of Cowgirl in the Sand is on the shorter side. but that is definitely one of my fave periods for Neil's guitar playing all the same. not a single note wasted, perfect Zuma tone.
― tylerw, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link
closest comparison to neil's guitar in 1976 would have to be tom verlaine, actually!
huh, I need to listen to those shows more closely then. There's a ten+ minute "Down By The River" on the Paris show, and a 12 minute "Like A Hurricane" on the Chicago show. But o/w the songs don't reach epic liftoff.
― Euler, Friday, 15 January 2010 16:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Japanese shows are probably the best of that year ... I'll get around to posting some of those soon!

yeah, compared to a lot of singers from his generation, he sounds pretty great. maybe neil was never a heavy smoker? of tobacco, that is?
