I've accepted that being a Neil Young fan means constant disappointment punctuated by occasional elation, but the fact that Homegrown still hasn't been released frustrates me more than just about anything in the world

2) Try (unreleased)
3) Mexico (unreleased)
4) Love Is a Rose
5) Homegrown
6) Florida (unreleased)
7) Kansas (unreleased)

Side B
1) We Don't Smoke It No More (unreleased)
2) White Line
3) Vacancy (unreleased)
4) Little Wing
5) Star of Bethlehem.

ooooh this is the real shit

oh and hey here's a pdf of this homegrown essay I wrote (kind of an expanded directors cut of a section from an uncut feature i wrote a few years ago) https://we.tl/t-olOP9wZZ8A

should say that both "white line" and "homegrown" should be unheard/unreleased versions of those songs, too. Not positive about Star of Bethlehem of Little Wing.

thanks for that PDF

was just going to ask if Star was from Stars n Bars

I like how road map-y that tracklisting is, all those songs named after places or car travel stuff.

He went back to the seventies to press the vinyl? shiiiit Neil!

Love is a Rose is a real clunker

XP These are actually OG pressings he found behind a neglected Buick in one of his lesser car barns.

Sure Neil, sure you will.

Where's Delaware? I heard that's for the real heads.

I guess this post is what finally convinced him to pull the trigger on Homegrown :) Still bracing myself for a cancellation or delayed release tho...

or an announcement about it being PONO/NYA exclusive or whatever. maybe this is the overarching strategy - make it so the $39.99 LP release seems like a great, accessible deal

yeah tbh my first thought was "what infuriating way are they going to release this, CDROM or reel-to-reel or realaudio stream or what"

i'll be a v happy camper if i can just go into a record store and buy it on vinyl (...as it was meant to be... made in the mid-nineteen seventies!)

The ultimate dick move would be to make it a Pono exclusive, since Pono no longer exists.

(Not ruling this out.)

not to let the facts get in the way of everyone's bitching but the last spate of Archives releases have all been about $22 on vinyl including Songs for Just, the Roxy ($18 right now on Amazon) and Hitchhiker which is the most directly comparable to Homegrown

yeah if it's a single LP it probably won't be more than $20.

hey, what great news!

also i missed the bus on the roxy and tuscaloosa sets — worth it?

(some background: i liked the cellar door, fillmore east, and massey hall sets alright but did not get much out of them past the first few listens)

Roxy (imo) much more essential than Tuscaloosa

Sorry to bitch! And that’s good news

neil apparently is going to ask archives subscribers to vote on what they want released out of these things (some new additions)

not to let the facts get in the way of everyone's bitching but

new board description plz

I am so tired of Neil's bullshit now. I am going to join NYA to hate vote Monsanto Years.

just put out Homegrown FFS

maddening

I hope Homegrown will be out closer to January and not December 2020.

innarestin'

it's by one of the promise of the real guys. would probably be more exciting if it had been made in the early 80s?

less innarestin'

Did he just make some of these up for the hell of it? 'Homefires' in particular sounds like the stuff that's already been around for decades ('Pushed It', the 74 live songs etc). The Stratford show might be the most redundant release ever, considering he already used the footage for the Massey Hall show and the set was more or less identical.

Homegrown will be an Easter egg on the trans 2020 laserdisc

xp i think homefires is essentially a Homegrown companion album. Some stuff has floated around, but there are songs like "Barefoot Floors" and "Frozen Man" that have never been bootlegged, as well as studio versions of "Love Art Blues", "Homefires", "Give Me Strength" etc (and weren't listed on that possible Homegrown release). Maybe some of the aborted CSNY sessions too?

Neil's not about that life, but it seems like some of these (that '71 show, the Tower show) would be better as RSD exclusives than full-fledged Archives titles.

to answer your question: "Did he just make some of these up for the hell of it?" the answer is yes.

is Over the Rainbow that Tonight's the Night UK show where it's a way more dark and confrontational vibe than the Roxy?

lol, at this point I figure Homegrown will just be 40 minutes of preamble to 'Tie Plate Yodel #3'

yeah, that's the one. Lots of talk about the seniors in Miami with their electric scooters and whatnot.

Real heads know that Homefires is the later version of Homefries.

Homefries, the legendary lost Neil Young concept album about side orders.
