Search and destroy: Neil Young

only weak link is Stills Young IMO

Neil's songs on this are great imo. Stills songs are absolute garbage, unfortunately.

yeah neil coasting in 1976 is still neil. stills is terrible.
ha i guess so ... i think the key stuff from that -- the "words" and "alabama" alternates and "soldier" -- were included on archives vol. 1?

(referring to the journey through the past soundtrack)

all of those are great except for long may you run, which only has a couple of decent songs

I've never heard LMYR either, the title track never really did it for me.

AMS&B is fantastic, best of the post-zuma 70s records imo

er AS&B

These collections will trailer a Still-Young Band reunion.

i love "long may you run" (the song) but there are plenty of other places to hear it. i was just listening to a pump organ live version from 2000-ish that was just gorgeous. i always want to like "fountainebleau" more, but it's a poor substitute for "pushed it over the end" ...

yeah neil coasting in 1976 is still neil. stills is terrible.

Good point. I've never actually seen a copy, nor have I seen the film (never found a decent-looking/sounding, um, download), but I assumed it was all live/rare. I see now that the Neil stuff is all previously released, apart from those three songs.

...and "Let's Go Away For Awhile"--Neil bringin' the Beach Boys deep cuts!

haha yeah, really is a weird release

seems he's never really considered it part of the oeuvre -- here's what neil said in 1975

So you don't really consider the soundtrack album an official Neil Young release?

No. There was an unfortunate sequence of events surrounding Journey Through the Past. The record company told me that they'd finance me doing the movie only if I gave them the soundtrack album. They took the thing [the soundtrack] and put it right out. Then they told me that they didn't want to release the movie because it wasn't...well, they wanted to group it with a bunch of other films. I wanted to get it out there on its own. So they chickened out on the movie because they thought it was weird. But they took me for the album. That's always been a ticklish subject with me. That's the only instance of discooperation and confusion that I've ever had with Warners. Somebody really missed the boat on that one. They fucked me up for sure. It's all right though.

that's interesting, i didn't know he had kind of disowned it. makes sense. you'd think it would be some prime-era neil jamming but it just kind of plods along

yeah it doesn't seem to have a whole lot of thought put into it.

anyhoo, just imagine if all of these "official release" series were complemented by a bonus disc of era-appropriate unreleased material. that would be great.

aaargh damn u tyler

Didn't know that about the soundtrack album. Makes sense.

I'd just like to point out that, in the years since Neil put out Archives 1, Dylan has released no fewer than FOUR Bootleg Series volumes.

yeah, but you have to admit that telling one of your underlings to prepare a couple boxset options and then reviewing them over a weekend a few months later is a lot of work, takes a decade at least

release fucking homegrown altready

I'd love to know where this was shot, the audience are great...

Amazon says those 4- and 5-CD boxes listed upthread have been pushed to September 8.

Whaaaaa? Last week they said mid-June.

They're never happening.

man those really are some awesome wtf audience shots in that vid

xxp

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

yes, an inspiring watch

we might have a thread for awesome audience shots

It's, like, realsville, daddy-o:

hmmm

Maybe the best thing to come out of the archives yet

we'll see if it comes out!

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.

psyched this is actually happening

really have my fingers crossed for homegrown coming out

hot damn! this is fantastic news

i was kinda hoping will to love would also be on it, but maybe it's the same version from stars 'n bars, anyway?

this looks rad

xp "Will to Love" is from a different all-nighter with Briggs iirc?

yeah i believe so -- same era/studio, different night

yea will to love was recorded at neil's ranch iirc

fireside, also very stoned

think it was overdubbed at Indigo in Malibu (iirc neil recorded the basic track somewhere else on 4-track)

ya i think you are right re: overdubs

i hope the hitchhiker songs have a similar "stoney" vibe, because it's my favorite neil recording
