NEIL YOUNG ARCHIVES BOX: IT'S REALLY HAPPENING

Welcome to NYA, the doghouse of my music

Is this before or after they fix the pono web site?

neil only knows.
in the meantime, this is back on the schedule -- https://www.amazon.com/Hitchhiker-Neil-Young/dp/B072JVDRWC/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1501870010&sr=1-1&keywords=neil+young+hitchhiker

glad the vinyl doesn't seem to be absurdly overpriced ...

yeah if they went back and put some sane prices on shit i'd buy a shitload of neil vinyl

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.

neil has confused amazon, though. the status of my hitchhiker pre-order, which had today as release date:
Arriving today by 8 PM
Not yet shipped

special sedan delivery

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.

yeah, so good. i do wonder if there's a crazy horse version from that era in the vaults. i can imagine it, anyway.

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

what's the difference between the cd archive 1-4 box set on amazon for £66 quid and the one i picked up in hmv this lunchtime for £13? (2009 remaster, hdcd it says)

I wouldn't think anything, I got a set of those for about $20 USD in eBay

Volumes 2 and 3 of that series are currently scheduled to come out in two weeks. We'll see.

Yeah, but they are also listed at £60+ making them over 15 quid each. Forget that.

That's insane. They're listed at $45 each on Amazon US, and I'm sure they'll be cheaper on eBay.

Vol. 2 (On The Beach, Times Fades Away, Tonight’s The Night, and Zuma) is $44.79 from Amazon US.
Vol. 3 (Long May You Run, American Stars 'N Bars, Comes A Time, Rust Never Sleeps, and Live Rust) is $48.24 from Amazon US.

confusing as hell and a lot of missing stuff! it's got some weird gauge that tells you how good your audio quality is? NYA Xtsream audio? pono? lincvolt mp3?

who knows

big news:
While they are not yet populated there are placeholders on the timeline for Homegrown, Oceanside/Countryside, Chrome Dreams & Odean Budokan!

!!!

*choke*

also something call Live Freedom? (unreleased?) from 89? tyler?

goddamn it, they have the Eldorado EP but only On Broadway and El Dorado, no Cocaine Eyes!!

Unreleased album from 86 (after Landing on Water on timeline):

Crazy Horse Garage (placeholder)

films are on the timeline too but just placeholder...."Solo Trans" dir Hal Ashby?

yeah that was briefly on youtube ... pretty wild shocking pinks encore.

Unreleased album "Solo Trans"!!!!!!! (all these are placeholder but still)....

btw Neil Young in Berlin is on the timeline too so Solo Trans is not the concert on YouTube

Unreleased album 78 - The Boarding House

so much stuff is happening today i feel a bit faint tbh

fingers crossed for doghouse obv

lol the info about the unreleased stuff is ... not helpful. but Roxy Live from 1973 is new to me ... that would be awesome.

Unreleased album 69 - Crazy Horse Early Daze

Crazy Horse Garage (placeholder)

I wonder if this is a live recording from the "Rusted Out Garage" tour?

browsing through this archive is a total fucking nightmare

classic neil

i love neil but this is what you get when someone who doesn't know anything about UI designs the UI

it's like i realize it's an archive and in some ways a filing cabinet is a metaphor but you didn't have to make us all literally "thumb through" the digital file cabinet neil!!!! fuck

the website is shaped like a Toblerone

the mynah birds motown single is up but not playable

‘fuckit, they’ve waited 40 years for this stuff, let’s make ‘em jump through some final hoops before getting to that dictaphone recording of ‘t-bone’ from 1981’

this is so weird.
if you see a song, click on the little "file" icon on the track list, it brings up all sorts of stuff like photos and even sheet music and stuff, handwritten lyrics

doesn't seeeem like there's anything to listen to that isn't just previously released stuff

he talks about that early daze thing in one of the memoirs — from what I understand it's early horse material from before neil hooked up with them.

what's "The Complex Sessions" (w/Crazy Horse directed by Jonathan Demme 95?)

also there's weird unreleased tracks in the file cabinet thing that aren't attached to any album if you spot em, like I found a file for an Americana-era Crazy Horse cover of this Pistol Annies/Miranda Lambert song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spjaA8rZEXM

there's content-free "files" for Soundtrack 1, Soundtrack 2, Soundtrack 3, and Soundtrack 4 that look to be placed between Peace Trail and The Visitor

this is too much

this interface is ridiculous

complex sessions is a sleeps with angel-era live in the studio vhs (can't remember if it ever came out on dvd)

yeah I have no idea what any of you guys are talking about because navigating this thing is totally impenetrable

oh well

to think I once saw the archives with my own eyes

i was going to say "hey if anyone manages to find something cool send a link" but i'm not sure links would work?

like, this is a link to Le Noise: does it work for anyone else: http://www.neilyoungarchives.com/#/album?id=A_072&_k=x71iqr

nope

lol at this thing. there are pop-ups on top of pop-ups
