neil young

All of you who frequent this thread have to see Echo in the Canyon, a documentary on L.A. bands of the mid-'60s (but melded with newer performers being interviewed and covering famous songs). The end-credit sequence is one of the best and funniest things I've seen this year.

Haha yeah I saw this over the weekend. Neil shreds!

XP I believe the only pro TTN tour tapes are the Roxy shows.

isn't there the bootleg from the UK? or is that after

Yeah, there are bootlegs from audience tapes.

that one is way more edgy than the roxy

just posted one of the better audience tapes from the english TTN tour: https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/185588492977/neil-young-crazy-horse-rainbow-theatre

R.I.P. Elliot Roberts

oh man that's sad, Neil must be gutted

Damn yeah that is huge. RIP.

Honest question: as unpredictable and erratic as Neil Young has been with Roberts at the helm, I wonder what we can expect from Neil in the coming years, especially as he gets older?

Oh no, the Archives release schedule will be all chaotic now

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXpost thanks Joni, but somehow I've never found "The Circle Game" to be a cheer-up song---especially not when I hear all the sad Boomers singing along with her on that live version, from Miles of Aisles maybe (staple/filler on Collegetown radio still). Maybe it's cheering to some to be sad together, resigned to be passengers doing time.

i think "there'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty" is the key line there

But the chorus seems to counter that

Neil's got a PONO memoir out soon.

He got PONO sideburns

Gonna get a PONO haircut

On a huuuge Neil Young kick these days after years of not really caring - mea culpa - and kicking myself for missing him here in Amsterdam just a few nights ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCpquw6jdrE

15 new films!!

Yeah, right on, man, fuck a Crazy Horse tour, what I want is 15 Neil Young movies.

(Cries Crazy Horse tears)

13 of those movies will only be available on Neil's streaming video service, VOYO

but whats the over/under on how many will actually be finished in the next 8 years? 3?

dunno if you can postpone a tour that was never even announced in the first place.
those films would be cool, I guess ... especially the Boarding House stuff (which is 1978 not 1977, Neil, come on now).

and hey here's a look at side one of COLORADO

also in re: to the films, would be great if neil just put them up permanently on the NYA site, as opposed to having them appear for a lame 24-hr window and then disappearing again.

I miss everything on that site!
Really irritating

13:36 long song...hell yeah give it to me

he played "she showed me love" with promise of the real last month — pretty bad lyrics, but the jams are good.

how bad on a scale of 1 to 5 hip hop haircuts

gonna give it a 4

https://www.democracynow.org/2019/8/9/monsanto_fusion_center_surveillance_of_critics

...Monsanto ran a “fusion center” to surveil and discredit journalists and activists who criticized or wrote damning reports about Monsanto, as well as legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young, who released an album in 2015 called “The Monsanto Years.” Monsanto monitored Young’s Twitter activity and even analyzed the lyrics of his album.

"Sir, in order to analyze Mr. Young's lyrics we're going to need to purchase large quantities of the strongest marijuana available ... in order to 'get in his head.'"

"Sir, we've found some blatant misinformation in Young's music. His hometown was not in North Ontario after all"

Wow so they read his twitter and the lyrics to the album?

can’t believe monsanto killed the pono, smdh

Lol

If the fidelity got too high, ppl might have been able to hear jthe Truth

Monsanto ceased their investigation when they gave up trying to navigate the Archives website.

There must be a copy of Mirror Ball somewhere on the shelf of albums I've downloaded and burned--I don't know how else I'd know "Scenery," where I got the title for the Neil Young poll I ran a few years ago. I found a cheap used copy of Mirror Ball (also Broken Arrow) today. I somehow missed "Truth Be Known" first time around--excellent. Haven't played Broken Arrow yet.

Amazon's got Neil Young (and the International Harvesters, says on the cover shot), Live at Austin City Limits listed for Sept. 13--dunno how much, if any, of it's on 2011 A Treasure, but I do treasure that, so want to check this--take it way, Blazin' Bezos:

2CD SET FEATURING NEIL YOUNG S ENTIRE ACL SHOW FROM 1984 Austin City Limits, started as a showcase for country and roots performers, invited Neil Young to perform in 1984, a man never reluctant to mix and match his genres. Young had released the least popular and poorly received albums of his career in the years prior to this performance, lastly the rockabilly infused Everybody s Rockin - an album which clocked in at a mere 29 mins - and before that the synth pop infused Trans. But for his ACL show Young had a hell of a band backing him in The International Harvesters. This group of Nashville cats may not have blown down arena doors with the same ferocity as Crazy Horse, but as this 1984 concert proves, they could more than hold their own with Neil Young, even on an extended version of concert favourite, the rocker Down By The River. Not previously released on CD, this quite sterling performance is now available in its entirety on this two-disc-set, displaying perfectly what a wholly competent and enthralling outfit Neil Young & The International Harvesters were during this period, even if the album they recorded together, which was released the following year, Old Ways, was panned by fans and critics alike and seen as yet another vanity project in a string of similar weird releases from Neil in the 1980s.

“wholly competent”

Checking Amazon, that ACL thing doesn't look legit. Might be worth picking up before the lawyers find out about it.

Some of that show (starts about a minute in)

That's some fancy struttin' Tim Drummond (?) is doin'.

Sounds good!

Just realized this ACL version of "Down by the River" is the first one I ever heard -- when I was a teen a good friend / Neil stan put it on a mixtape before I'd ever heard the original. Still fantastic.

Oh shit my man Drummond is on this?!
