Neil Young

[onthewall2983]

Recording first album with Crazy Horse in nearly a decade. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-young-recording-new-album-with-crazy-horse-20120123)

[frankie teardrop]

i have more respect for neil than i have time for him these days, but he's released some great material over the years. i might be the only trans fan on the planet, though...

[DVYDRNS]

I love trans. Ive got a few copies on vinyl. its an epic record. Neil is like an uncle to me. He's always been there since I was a wee lad.

[botley]

Trans is epic? No, this is epic:


bbc tv 1971

[Andrew]

I've had a copy of Trans around since I was a kid. I imported the CD which sounds pretty good, we'll probably never see a remaster of that one. I wish that album would get mentioned more. Way ahead of its time, especially in 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_(album)).

[frankie teardrop]

i wouldn't say it's too ahead of it's time as far as the musical climate is concerned, but i'm especially touched to hear that a lot of this record came from therapy excercises with his son.

[emptydesk]

Big fan of TRANS, but my favorite is TIME FADES AWAY. Young doesn't seem to want to release it again, but it's not super rare on vinyl and a test pressing of a cancelled HD-CD was ripped and is floating around in filesharing world.

[onthewall2983]

Time Fades Away will be released with the next archives set.

[botley]

Yes, Trans is kind of fun and certainly a valid artistic statement, but it also slyly repositioned one of the most prescient and clever pop songs of the 20th century:


Mr. Soul

...as a Krautrock tune. Neil wrote this when he was in Buffalo Springfield. When he was twenty-one years old. It's absolutely timeless.

[allegro]

The husband is a HUGE Neil Young fan so I went to a whole lot of Neil Young shows and, gotta say, I grew to like some of Neil Young's music, and I respect him a whole lot as an artist who does whatever the fuck he wants. (Course, he can AFFORD to.)

I love the Crazy Horse stuff most, and G and I were disappointed to get Crazyhorse tix only to see Greendale, but were then pleasantly surprised.

[botley]

New film on www.neilyoung.com entitled "Horse Back".

[DVYDRNS]

love this man

[DVYDRNS]

The man still has the rage of 1000 hurricanes... its good to see him and the horse back together. This song gave me chills and brought a tear to the eye. Nobody does that for me... except Neil.

[henryeatscereal]

a fuckin legend hads down, had the luck to watch him perform live in Glastonbury ...what an awesome experience!
Im happy he's back with Crazy Horse, the only "bad" thing about him is the number of records he has it's so hard to keep track of him and that's because every record he has recorded is special in it's own way ...even TRANS!!!

[Maximilian]

Just seeing this thread reminded me of a 90's song he had called "War of Man". Anyone remember this?

I play it every time i play live. its one of my all time faves.

also on that album that doesnt get enough love is the closer. Natural Beauty.

[botley]

Pretty excited for the new NY&Crazy Horse record Psychedelic Pill — a double album reportedly stuffed with many of the long-awaited 15-minute-plus jam sessions.

[DVYDRNS]

So the new album is out today. It's pretty fantastic.

[botley]

I can't get into the first two tracks (luckily, the other seven are good); too gimmicky and harsh. Neil is better when he's subtle. I'm glad the Horse still has that fire in its belly, though!

[Stereo75]

Off to see Neil Young, Los Lobos & The Sadies tonight in Winnipeg. I'm hoping the wolves join NY & CH on stage as they cover a few of N's songs that are in the setlist. I hope the tour print is nice, too.

[carpenoctem]

I just started listening to this guy in my quest to open myself up to older music. He's great. I got a greatest hits album for a taster but I want more. What are the best, most classic Neil Young records to keep me interested?

[DVYDRNS]

Everybody Knows this is nowhere, Harvest, Live Rust, Weld, Ragged Glory, Mirrorball

[onthewall2983]

Decade is a great compilation of his classic 60's and 70's stuff (67-77 to be exact, nothing from the Rust period).

[Stereo75]

What a great Winnipeg show! I mean these guys are older, obviously, but still true to the CH form. Very psychedelic. Just wish I had some psychedelics of my own. Gave away a few papers during set change & that kinda helped. Bought a shirt $35, 2 packs of rolling papers $5 each & a tour poster for $20. Add beer & it cost me quite a bit. I just cut the tour poster in half (it's pretty big!) & put it 2 identical frames, over the mantle & it looks great. "Alchemy Doesn't Work" Canadian Tour 2012

Go see Neil Young & Crazy Horse (& Los Lobos!) if you get the chance. If you are a fan to begin with, you will not be disappointed.

[clodhopper]

Everybody Knows this is nowhere, Harvest, Live Rust, Weld, Ragged Glory, Mirrorball

On the Beach. Also try the Dead Man soundtrack (my personal favorite).

[DVYDRNS]

I also really love old ways and harvest moon. Wayland Jennings. Willie Nelson. Linda rondstat and emmylou Harris helping Neil out is a beautiful sound.

[onthewall2983]

Neil's (rightly) considered in some circles a guitar god, but his piano/pump organ playing and songs are something to behold imo.

Bachman's 'Any Road' album was actually pretty good when it came out.

[Blackbookpress1984]

Time Fades Away will be released with the next archives set.

Have they set a release date for that yet?

[onthewall2983]

Nothing yet. I imagine it will not take as long as the first one did. The whole point of it finally being released was that the Blu-ray technology made Neil's vision of it when he started a reality.

Neil's 35th album, A Letter Home, to come out in March. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-youngs-low-tech-new-album-a-letter-home-due-in-march-20140122)

[botley]

Neil files for divorce (http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/neil-young-has-filed-for-divorce-rolling-stone-says-1.2747707)from Pegi Young after 36 years of marriage. Sad news.

[onthewall2983]

That is sad, considering the work they've done together for the Bridge School. Hopefully they can continue that.

[botley]

That is sad, considering the work they've done together for the Bridge School. Hopefully they can continue that.
Probably in some capacity, they will. I believe she is no longer listed on the bill of musicians performing at this year's benefit shows, but she is releasing a new album (http://www.musictap.net/2014/08/27/new-pegi-young-and-the-survivors-album-expected-in-october/) in the fall.

[onthewall2983]

Listening to some of the classic albums tonight. I've seen a bit of him with Lukas Nelson's band, sounds even better than Crazy Horse. Has anyone seen his recent shows?

[allegate]

Time Fades Away will be released with the next archives set.I know this is a quote from 2012 but it's no less funny. Or sad, maybe?

[onthewall2983]

The first one took so long to get out it shouldn't be a surprise that the 2nd one will either. But yeah I'd say it's a bit of both.

[allegate]

It's been so long that Neil's said that Time Fades Away II will be on Volume 2.
In October 2009, Young told Guitar World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_World) that a disc titled Time Fades Away II will be included in the second volume of the Archives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Young_Archives) box set series, noting: "It's interesting because [Time Fades Away II] has a different drummer than what was on that album. Kenny Buttrey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Buttrey) was in there for the first half, and Johnny Barbata (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Barbata) came in for the second. It's a completely different thing, with completely different songs."[23] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Fades_Away#cite_note-gw-23)

[onthewall2983]

I watched his movie Muddy Track today. A nice (but warped, shot on some of the worst VHS I've ever seen outside of home videos) hodgepodge of footage, featuring Neil and Crazy Horse touring Europe in 1987. A good amount of the footage made it's way onto Jim Jarmusch's Year of the Horse, including what's probably my favorite scene of either film, where they're rehearsing vocal harmonies on "Cortez the Killer".

Two of his other, more well-known films, Rust Never Sleeps (http://www.amazon.com/Neil-Young-and-Crazy-Horse-Rust-Never-Sleeps-Blu-ray/dp/B01D58BE3K?SubscriptionId=AKIAIY4YSQJMFDJATNBA&tag=bluray-000-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01D58BE3K&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER) and Human Highway (http://www.amazon.com/Human-Highway-Directors-Cut-Blu-Ray/dp/B01D58BDTK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_74_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=514QxufLIDL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR129%2C160_&refRID=0A51DDG2VHTGTM6NTR80) are coming out on Blu-ray next month.

Neil Young: Archives 2 latest news! (http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/neil-young-archives-2-latest-news-93329)


Earlier this year, Neil Young gave Uncut an update about the status of his anticipated Archives 2 project.

“I’m putting a website out, probably just before Christmas,” he told us. “It’ll be my entire archives on a website. You can listen to music, and you’ll see where albums are that are penciled in, not finished. From throughout a 40 or 50-year span, you’ll see unfinished records behind you, in front of you, right now, way in the future.”

Now Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts, has further updated Billboard on this second volume, telling them it is “nearly completed and should surface in 2017”.

“Neil has a whole series of Shakey Films that we’ve done through the years,” Roberts says. “We haven’t really had a chance to put a lot of them out. Either he tours or starts doing an album or moves on to the next one. But we have about six or seven full-length films that will be coming out over the course of the next two years. These are really the first two.”

The contents include Hal Ashby‘s film of Young’s 1982-83 one-man Trans Tour, a Tim Pope chronicle of an early Young concert in England, and 2003’s Greendale.

This is excellent news for Young fans, following on from the announcement that four of Young’s classic albums – the long out of print 1973’s Time Fades Away, 1974’s On The Beach and 1975 Tonight’s The Night and Zuma – are coming on Septemer 6.

Roberts says Young has finally signed off on Time Fades Away, Archives 2 should arrive next year.

“Neil had a lot of things that were important to us – not because they sold well,” Roberts notes. “I think of it as we’re introducing him to a younger audience, a new audience. We know there’s our core audience that’s 50-70 or so. That’s always been the case, and it’s nice to actually have. But it’s like discovering Dylan – you may like EDM, but at some point in your life you’ll be into Dylan and you’ll get it, whether you’re 23, 24, 21 or 26. Discovering Neil or discovering those catalogs, that material. It’s still fun for Neil to create. He doesn’t mind going back or going forward.”

[elevenism]

Exciting, @allegate (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1739)r !

I adore Neil. His work was guitar 101 for me when i was a child, and i've grown to appreciate more with every passing year.

And it's awesome that he's still working.

[onthewall2983]

That's interesting, I just thought it would collect material from a 10-year period like the first one did. I'll withhold judgement on whether this is disappointing or not but it's a little surprising.

[botley]

I am currently stuck on the Old Homestead disc. So many fucking beautiful tracks. This whole box is a triumph; I didn't realize there was such a great depth of material Neil cast aside for whatever reason. "Frozen Man" is an absolute stunner — and he never used it for anything!! What!!!

Do yourself a favour and sign up for the Archives site to stream this puppy NOW.

[allegate]

See, that last sentence is why I'm not: I'm not a streaming person at all. That and I'm beyond pissed that I bought the first Archives on Blu-Ray right about the same time he decided to take the BD-Live downloads down so I never got to hear them. And then Pono going ass over tea-kettle?

[botley]

Well the Pono thing was predictable. Other companies do a great job with portable DAPs, there was literally no need for Neil to make his own.

I understand why people don't like streaming on the major sites but everything wrong with them is just not there on NYA. Immersive, informative visual interface and super high quality sound for dirt cheap ($20/year!) ... kind of a no-brainer if you're a fan of his.

[allegate]

yeah, Pono was just the proverbial straw that's all.

The amount of time I'm actually in front of my computer at home is almost nil so I always have downloaded music with me.

[onthewall2983]

[allegate]

Time Fades Away will be released with the next archives set.
I was bored and saw that I had already quoted you on this in 2016. With Vol II out it seems he only sort of got this one right.


"Time Fades Away" (4:21) – Neil Young with The Stray Gators – previously unreleased version

[botley]

I am really digging the new "bootleg series", with a bunch of terrific concerts from the 70s restored from the best sources and seeing wider release in physical form as well as on streaming platforms outside Neil's own Archives site. Finally hearing the whole Royce Hall performance (which the Harvest take of "Needle and the Damage Done" comes from), the infamous Bottom Line '74 tape, Carnegie Hall '70 — all excellent in their own ways. I think I need to make a supercut of Young Shakespeare, Massey Hall '71, Royce and Dorothy Chandler Hall to fabricate the ultimate solo set.

[imail724]

Oh hell yeah. The Carnegie show is one of my favorite Neil record, and I've got a lot of Neil records. Not Bootleg Series, but the recent Way Down In The Rust Bucket boxset is another scorcher.

[DVYDRNS]

the rust bucket is so epic. the ragged glory era is the last amazing NY&CH era. there's been great stuff since then, but that era was AMAZING. love this release.

sounds great.

[DVYDRNS]

just picked up the new box set with Freedom, Ragged Glory, Weld and Arc.

It sounds so epic. every one of these is a grail.
