neil young

I suppose another way to look at it is these dudes are finally getting back the millions and millions their labels likely stole from them over the years.

Oh I absolutely understand all the motivations behind the whys of doing this, I get it! I just wondered if there was more than just the loss of touring income that triggered it to all happen right now.

Like is Hipgnosis more aggressively courting these musicians in COVID times? Just curious is all.

All this is discussion is fine but can we please address the REAL ISSUE?!

Who here knows Nile Rodgers and how do we get Tyler in control of the Neil reissues?

"Nile I represent a consortium of internet nerds and we have a proposal to place one of our own in charge of all Neil Young's reissues. Yes. Yes. The internet. Yes. Actually it is all in the file in front of you, yes the one labeled "DOGHOUSE". We did a poll."

And for the record I am 100% not joking

giving tyler control of the neil's catalog should be part of biden's first 100 days agenda

^^^^^ otm

Here's me talking to Nile

stimulus package includes archives vol. II for all americans

campaigner!

"Even the venture capitalists who own my catalog have got soul!"

another vote for Tyler and I'm not even American

i actually imagine the deal doesn't have anything to do with how / when neil releases his music, though — it's just publishing, right? he still owns the masters? don't listen to me though, i don't know anything about this stuff.

suckers only bought the half with the geffen albums.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN ALL SYNTH VERSION OF TRANS!!!!!

They only bought the A sides? xpost

i actually imagine the deal doesn't have anything to do with how / when neil releases his music, though — it's just publishing, right?

correct. hipgnosis has shown an interest in buying masters, too, but virtually all of these sales are publishing only.

... does this mean everything that was coming up is going to be rescheduled again

It shouldn't impact that at all, since it's just the publishing end. Lord knows Neil needs no further reasons to delay his promised releases.

Isn't that first batch of "bootlegs" due out soon?

I'm afraid to look

I checked the articles again, guess it was "beginning of 2021" for those bootleg series releases. For some reason I had February in mind.

the rust bucket 1990 crazy horse show comes out next month, bootlegs are now scheduled for May, I think.

there's even artwork for one of the bootlegs ... which isn't even the bootleg recording, it's neil's own master recording. confusing!

lol Neil, never change

Neil fans might dig this:

Wet Tuna (Matt MV Valentine & Pat PG Six Gubler) have a killer 16-minute version of "Walk On" on their latest Eau'd To A Fake Bookie volume.

Thanks for that.

I'm going to guess he will get some flak for the last couple of paragraphs.

jesus, that's one hell of a facepalm from Shakey

oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg

I mean it's not as bad as when he was dressing up like Waylon Jennings and sucking Reagan's dick

he's old as fuck, so he does well when you grade him on a curve with his cohort of old white hoots

what is needed is a political show that features BOTH SIDES

perhaps this could be a CROSSFIRE of political opinion, night after night, and it would be good for the nation

Way Down in the Rust Bucket
Release Date: Feb 26, 2021
Pre-Order begins: Jan 15, 2021

After recording Ragged Glory at Broken Arrow Ranch in the spring of 1990 and releasing it that September, Young and Crazy Horse took the stage at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz on November 13 to unleash the songs upon a live audience. In true Crazy Horse fashion, the incendiary show ran across three sets and over three hours, with songs like “Love and Only Love” and “Like a Hurricane” hypnotically stretching past ten minutes. The Catalyst gig also marked the first time “Danger Bird”—a cut from Young’s 1975 album Zuma—was played for a live audience, thundering on into psychedelic six-string fireworks. Other live debuts on Way Down in the Rust Bucket include “Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze,” “Love to Burn,” “Farmer John,” “Over and Over,” “Fuckin’ Up,” “Mansion on the Hill,” and “Love and Only Love.”
Way Down in the Rust Bucket—which is #11.5 in Neil Young’s Performance Series—will be released in a number of variations. A deluxe edition box set will contain a DVD of the electrifying live concert—directed by Bernard Shakey and produced and directed for Shakey Pictures by LA Johnson—alongside four LPs and two CDs. The DVD contains one additional performance of “Cowgirl In The Sand” (13 minutes’ worth!) which does not appear on the vinyl or CD editions. Other versions include a 4LP vinyl box set and a 2CD set. Purchasers of Way Down in the Rust Bucket from the Greedy Hand Store will also receive free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store © at NYA.
PRE-ORDER HERE
Way Down in the Rust Bucket will also be available digitally from the Xstream Store © at Neil Young Archives. Only at NYA can you find Young’s music in the highest possible digital audio resolution alongside a seemingly infinite store of archival files. It’s also the home of Young’s virtual daily newspaper, The Times Contrarian, and The Hearse Theater, where you can see rare footage and stream live shows. NYA is a fittingly sprawling repository for Young; few artists—perhaps none—have explored such a vast spectrum of sounds and styles over more than half a century. Way Down in the Rust Bucket is a worthy reminder of all the greatness he has up his sleeves.

whole thing does not disappoint, amazing setlist, some of Neil's greatest guitar playing, a very cool vibe ...

hey, while I'm here, on dublab this sunday (1/17) I'm playing a bunch of Neil rarities / deep cuts / oddities etc. a good listen! https://www.dublab.com/schedule/87590/radio-free-aquarium-drunkard-7

Here's the video for Country Home, by the way: https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=My-Country-Home-Rust-Bucket-February-26

bunch of new outtakes on NYA — including the amazing "barefoot floors" from 1974 which has only been heard via an obscure nicolette larson cover previously. idiotic that he didn't put it on vol. 2, haha. also an insane "tonight's the night" and a great acoustic "mellow my mind" w/ ben keith.

it's really annoying he's putting high quality songs from the vol 2 timeframe up on nya, there was another one like a month ago

yeah, not like there wasn't space — the archives discs average out at about an hour apiece I think. oh well, glad to hear this shit however he does it.

Mayne he'll have to start x.5 in-betweener Archives boxes like he had to do for a couple of those Performance Series albums. Archives Box II.5, up for pre-order in 2026!

God I fucking hate Neil. What fucking door handle do I pull and puzzle do I have to solve to find the new outtakes on NYA? Is there a wizard I can talk to?

I never look at anything except the fucking timeline.

well then you're missing out ... you gotta open up the cabinet! the key will only cost you three golden coins, which you have to get by defeating a wicked sorceror.

the solo demo of "expecting to fly" is very nice

Your Pocahontas Is In Another File Cabinet

I don't see anything like those titles in the cabinet. Is this alphabetical or some Youngian Decimal System?

Shakey Decimal System

some of the best stuff is in the Archives. . . doghouse

I eventually found the track I was looking for by reading the press release, which cited a date the outtake was recorded, then looked on the timeline on that date and found it.

IDG how the cabinet works, at all.

"copy this list to the forums before the mood passes and we return to opacity!" - what, they're actually proud that their site is such a chaotic mess? damn.
