omar little, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 17:21 (six years ago) link

I figure Neil misses the sideburn battles he and Stills use to have and figured Nils would be up for it.

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link

i feel like someone's mad at nash too. or at least nash thinks someone is mad at him and that makes him sad.

tylerw, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 17:32 (six years ago) link

isn't that kind of Nash's default state though? No offense (well, a little).

I read an interview with Nash in our local paper recently and I got the distinct impression that Nash was pissed at Croz for being #CROZ and that everyone was also was mad at Croz for different, if probably somewhat similar, reasons and that that it seemed like all of them were mostly tired of dealing with #CROZ.

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link

Like these dudes are my dad's age and are still dealing with their one friend who has being pulling the same shit for *checks watch* 50 yrs.

Pretty strange but I guess nils was in Crazy Horse before poncho! Wonder if it’s a health thing for Sampedro.

tylerw, Thursday, 26 April 2018 23:37 (six years ago) link

Stills might be chill via recent refreshment of at least the professional side of his relationship with Judy Collins, recording and touring. I saw him and Cooder backing her in the late 60s. Stills played bass on that occasion, put some some eerie guitar notes on her excellent recorded version of "Pretty Polly."
oh yeah, Neil & CH: will the Fresno show be *kind of* an xpost Roxy-promotional reexamination of Tonight's The Night, or would that be too obvious? Maybe he'll settle for one of those 30-odd minute tests of the title song (then "Dog House," "Cortez," half of Greendale etc.)

Crosby was recently on Live From Here (offspring of Prairie Home), and kept talking in a bad-tooth old man hillbilly twang, in between singing just like The Croz, which was a little disappointing, far as I was concerned.

dow, Friday, 27 April 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link

No reason was given for Poncho's absence from the Fresno shows. In 2013, the group had to call a world tour short when a road manager accidentally slammed a tour bus door on Sampedro's left hand. "When I looked at my fingers – from the tip of the fingernail to the cuticle – they were pointed straight up in the air," he told Rolling Stone in 2014. "They were just smashed to death." They returned to the road the following summer, though Talbot suffered a minor stroke and had to sit out the tour weeks before they were scheduled to begin. He was replaced by Rick Rosas, who died just months after it ended.

the wind of mortality fair whips about this para

if the price of nils is poncho then the price is too damn high imo

Mahogany Loggins (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 27 April 2018 08:48 (six years ago) link

when i saw neil and crazy horse a few years ago poncho struck me as being the world's chillest dude

hopefully all this means is that he just wants to spend more time on his garden

Malkmus gettin swole

Lou Grant, the Iranian cinema of late '70s TV (stevie), Saturday, 28 April 2018 16:18 (six years ago) link

what would be worse, being the guy the cros doesn’t remember or being the guy who the cros really vibes with and wants to spend more time with

Mahogany Loggins (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 28 April 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link

what makes that even funnier is that Malkmus had to have been the one to suggest that they sing “What Are Their Names?”

sciatica, Saturday, 28 April 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link

Croz prob also hit Malkmus up for money

Reactor is great. Everybody’s rockin is the first bad Neil Young album

tylerw, Saturday, 28 April 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link

As some of us agreed, maybe on this very thread, A Treasure rescues good stuff from that wobbly niche---take it, Wiki:
The album results from a tour following Young's recording what he later called the first Old Ways, an album of country music that his record company refused to release since they claimed it wasn't commercial enough. In this period, the early to mid-eighties, Young played music in many different genres.[5] His backing band, the "International Harvesters", consisted of professional country musicians from Nashville some of whom had also played (as "The Shocking Pinks") on his rock and roll album Everybody's Rockin'. The album contains old Young songs and newer songs from Old Ways.[3] It contains five previously unreleased songs (tracks 1, 5, 8, 11, and 12).

According to Young, the album's name comes from Ben Keith. "I hadn't heard these takes in 25 years, but when we unearthed them co-producer Ben Keith said, 'This is a treasure.

Ditto the overall excellence of Bluenote Cafe, although some of those horn arrangements sound as dated as they did at the time.

dow, Sunday, 29 April 2018 00:37 (six years ago) link

Although the horns' beer commercial association was apparently deliberate, at least in part---after all, "This Note's For You." Tee hee, stop it you scamp!

dow, Sunday, 29 April 2018 00:41 (six years ago) link

Loving this Roxy set. Not exactly worlds apart from the album as released, but weird to hear these very bleak tunes rendered this way. The band sounds like they're having a good time. There are some flubs (mostly lyrical ones) that actually bug me, but that's only because I know the original TTN as well as I know any record.

The banter is pretty classic, too. I love when Neil says "thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, it's been real average." What a dick

Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 29 April 2018 12:25 (six years ago) link

Lol yeah real average def goes in the Neil banter hall of fame
