congrats neil and daryl

*too bad* my invite got lost in the mail, but it's fine, it's fine

I hope Wall Street wasn't the part she was playing that he could understand.

i haven't looked into this yet but it seems appropriate to bump the thread

If you're a Neil Young fanatic (and I mean fanatic, not just fan), all the back issues of the legendary Broken Arrow zine have now been scanned and put online. https://t.co/7d4iMEyMsR

tylerw you might be interested in these though! i'm just skimming through but the first issue includes a review of various bootlegs, rated 1-10, and it appears to be a recurring feature across the issues.

there's a good bootleg summary in issue 004 (btw i love the optimistic 3 digit numbering system)

the results of the first Broken Arrow fan poll, from issue 3:

...and the final results, from issue 6:

i'll stop summarizing (or i'll continue, if people find it helpful) but it's actually a really good, kickass zine! there are lots of things in them that i really appreciate, like full transcriptions of radio interviews, attempts to exhaustively list all the covers of neil's songs (starting in issue 006), the aforementioned bootleg reviews, xeroxed copies of nme reviews, extended interviews with people like dave fanning (issue 029), etc

Nice! I had a couple of these back in the day, thanks for the heads up ....

ned retweeted it, so it's him we have to think.

i love a good zine. these are all fresh to me. i wish more fanzines would be digitized like this.

think thank

Yeah the VU what goes on zine would be good too ...
Maybe it’s out there somewhere.

my dream job, which i just thought of, is for someone to pay me the bare minimum livable amount to seek out full collections of those kinds of zines and make them available online

i would guess that the difficult part is obtaining permission to make them available online from the artists and zinemakers, rather than the difficulty of finding them

otm, although older stuff can be very hard to find (e.g. older role-playing games & related scifi fanzines)

god damn I am really feeling this Harvest Moon vinyl reissue, I've played it once or twice before but here on the cusp of the equinox it resonates particularly well

That album is so lovely, was listening just last week and it (like Freedom) still sounds like a timeless classic.

"Give Me Strength" from the Hitchhiker release is so good

All acoustic autumn yall:

there's some talk over on the ARCHIVES thread

:(

Neil Young Loses House to California Wildfires
“I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another”

:(

I saw "Songs For Judy" yesterday at the record store and I didn't get it cuz I had other things I was looking for (Xmas gifts) & also the album cover is just awful

haha yeah, the cover is baaaad.
really is such a sweet collection of music though ...

I didn't even realize it was out, for some reason I had it in my head it wasn't coming out for awhile? Probably becuz I assume that with all Neil.

I wish this were a box set with a double disc collection of the Crazy Horse sets as well.

Tyler - were these the "Bernstein Tapes" in bootleg form?

Yeah this kinda passed me by

this is basically the Bernstein Tapes, yes

I love Neil but could go the rest of my life without ever hearing another solo acoustic NY performance

otm

I mean I do like that stuff when I'm in the mood for it but there's also pleeeeeenty of it

yeah these are just the Bernstein Tapes. really should've added a second disc of crazy horse stuff, the '76 bootlegs rip. love this period's solo acoustic jams, though! he's looooose.
seems like it was a pretty improv'd release — wasn't even rumored as a possible thing until a month and a half ago.

Ain't singin' for Barclay's:

Ha, some of Neil's comments in that article almost read like Trump tweets to me

I love Neil but could go the rest of my life without ever hearing another solo acoustic NY performance

This.

I'm kinda relieved as weird as Neil can be that he didn't end up being a Trump apologist

there's at least one more solo acoustic performance series he's planning — the boarding house shows from 1978. oh and maybe Solo Trans (a little bit unclear as to what that will include).

Solo Trans I'm super excited for....

Do you think they'll release that wacky Trans tour thing where Nils looks like he's a space ninja?

I've got the video of that.

Not much use as I don't have a video player anymore.

Solo Trans is weird because I think it's the soundtrack to the 1983 video (which is pretty rare) and it doesn't even have any Trans songs on it haha. It does have the shocking pinks!
i imagine he'll put the Berlin Trans show up on the Archives at some point ... there's just one video up there now. anyone else subscribe? $20 ... nothing tooooo amazing up there just now. we'll see.

if anyone's got it, I'd like to see that recent video of Neil tearin up Born in the USA at some show with suit people again

here's the audio:

fantastic, thanks!

neil is ROCKING HARD on that one! so heavy

haha that recording is off the hook

who's on backing vocals? lofgren?

and neil reading from the teleprompter, improvising as he goes

such a cool cover

"BRUUUUUUCE.... BRUUUUUUUUCE.... BRUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!"

there's at least one more solo acoustic performance series he's planning — the boarding house shows from 1978

aka more widely bootlegged shows that have been available to fans for decades

Yeah, but not in PONO Quality ®

yeah i think only audience recordings circulate ...
i dunno, i think it's all pretty good. Neil Young is great!

it's all pretty good. Neil Young is great!
