Forgot about this until just now, but I'm knee-deep in this site and trying to swim. Some of the extra memorabilia is frustrating cause there's not enough info on it, like the multiple handwritten tracklists for the 1st album with titles I don't know:
http://images.contentful.com/2okapnzdylk2/1968_0828_02_docs02/9a34d36a680bd9e86ca507cc4ce7215e/1968_0828_02_docs02.png
Based on the way he's set it up, you'd think those weirdo-titles would show up as individual listings, just without a playback option, but nope.
Also, if any of you still use soulseek, I just checked and somebody's got a DVD-RIP of the Hal Ashby Solo Trans Film that downloads quick. It's a great document of that era - during Don't Be Denied the giant video screen starts playing Springfield TV and Harvest barn rehearsal clips from Journey Through, and the crowd flips out. 'I've Got A Problem' is there too, better than the Catalyst Crazy Horse version imo.

also also, if you're patient you can manage to pull the photos/scans out:
Briggs' tape box art from 'Everybody Knows' era:

has anyone tried buying a track?

interesting thing lurking in the archives code ... this would be GOOD. live debut of Tonight's the Night in 1973.

another unreleased placeholder album that either has been added or I didn't notice before:
Alchemy from 2012 (grouped w/Americana and Psychedelic Pill)...the art says it's a Crazy Horse album but when you click it says Neil Young

Toast is on there now in 01 not sure if it was
― Joan Digimon (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
Alchemy was a post-psychedelic pill live album that Neil teased at some point if I remember correctly. Think it was touted as the completion of the Rust Trilogy, which is something Neil made up (after having forgotten about year of the horse).

Glanced at this site, still confused. Is it just a pile of streamable files? Can you download, or does that cost money?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 December 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
right now it's just a very weirdly organized streaming site built around either a weird timeline or "file cabinet" interfaceyou can buy hi-rez files from some weird neil young orastream site but the albums end up costing $20+ for downloads, or it links off to physical copies on amazonhaven't had much lucking getting songs to actually play today could be my work connection tho :/

I want to share with you that I have made a place for my music to live.It will also be the place where I live on the web. I won’t be here.I wanted a place where I could hear my music from the very beginning, from the high school bands I was in, to my latest recordings-audio and visual. I wanted to be able to hear it all, all the sound, all the sound I heard when I made those records and poured my heart and soul into every one, the good and the bad, the great and the ‘should be gone’. They are all there in the new place.A giant time machine cabinet.There are files and files for years and years, all full of music. Albums and tracks, bits and pieces, manuscripts and art, film and video. I live there.Each song is being backed up with the archival material that relates to it and to the creation of it, from song writing to band jams, the history of this music is there. It’s never finished, it is huge and growing. We work night and day expanding the window you can see this archival stuff through.Come and visit the cabinet and take a look inside. If you like my music, this should be a good place to wander and spend the light and dark hours.I am here now, reaching out to you, but I wont be here for long, I’ll be there at NYA with my music, new and old.

maybe not the most exciting release, since it's been bootlegged for decades, but it deserves to be in the official canon (and the cleaned up "Campaigner" definitely sounds great). Does seem like it should be a double disc with Crazy Horse performances from that tour rounding out the picture, but that would make too much sense, wouldn't it.
― tylerw, Friday, 19 October 2018 15:50 (five years ago) link
so these are just the songs already available as the Bernstein tapes? they are great! but yes not so exciting then as a new release.

Is there anything supposed to be exclusive to subscribers? I can't really find anything so far...

― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:38 (five years ago) link
i dunno, i think it's my favorite of his solo acoustic things? nice and stoney and loose, some real deep cuts. massey hall is probably the closest competition. it's just dumb that there isn't a second disc of crazy horse stuff from the same tour.

yeah, it sounds awesome! just funny that 30+ years into the archives process, they're like "what the hell is this? we should put this out!" dunno about crazy horse touring ... my guess is if they do more shows it'll be along the lines of this year's california shows (a short run).

They seemed to have learned the lesson from the unsold copies of A Treasure and Americana that will be in record stores for years to come
Songs for Judy is double lp and $25ish, Hitchhiker single vinyl I think I paid around $17 but was also at my local Mom n pop so could have been cheaper probably

I'm confused...are they saying only these unreleased tracks were recorded at Plywood Analog? Because the album (according to the liner notes) was recorded at Plywood Digital, and was the second of three (or four, if you count Arc-Weld) albums he recorded digitally before he realized he hated digital recording.
