"The video – clearly a webcam recording of Old Shakey chomping on an apple, mouthing along, cotton buds in his ears – doesn't inspire much confidence. A few minutes in, he sings about blogging. Later in the video he plays air guitar as a flat-screen TV seems to be repossessed."
LOL
"A few minutes in, he sings about blogging."

cd box set version is pretty reasonably priced :)
would love to see the blu ray thing but not for $300
― ie: BANGING (M@tt He1ges0n), Friday, 16 January 2009 22:40 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah I'll be getting the cd version, even $200 for the dvd is kinda ridic. I mean how often are you going to want to watch Journey Through The Past? Hopefully I can borrow it from somebody once, but if not, the tunes are where it's at.
― Euler, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, it's not ridiculously priced or anything -- hopefully the book does not take its layout cues from the booklet in the Buffalo Springfield box set ... !
― tylerw, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:44 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i am bummed they didn't include that but you're right, that seems like something you watch once and never again...
99 for 8 CDs and nice packaging is pretty awesome actually...glad i held out on buying massey hall, though i couldn't stop myself from buying the fillmore gig

feeling glad I didn't buy the massey hall or crazy horse cds, and I think it's pretty lame to include them here.
― Euler, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:46 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, I bought a bootleg of Eat the Document a few years back, watched it once, got nauseous, and gave it to my brother. From what I've heard, Journey Through the Past is less worthy.
― Euler, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link
eat the document at least is kind of beautifully filmed in parts. Journey is just kind of gross and boring for the most part. There's some LOLs in there, but it's pretty tiresome overall.

So glad there's going to be a CD-version! If it ever actually comes out. But kinda bummed that I was over-eager and bought the Fillmore and Massey discs.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, well, who could resist? the fillmore and the massey discs are incredible! just irritating that i'm going to pay for them twice ...

these neil young fans who don't like "fork in the road" are dumbasses, the song is hot stuff. the video's kinda lame in a funny way - OH SHOCKER, NEIL YOUNG FANS - neil thinks videos are a joke? really? you don't fuckin say.

but honestly i never get mad if neil makes stuff that is really painfully o_O or just bad...that's all part of neil being neil. he's gotta make like 4 weirdo records for every normal-ish "good" one
― ie: BANGING (M@tt He1ges0n), Saturday, 17 January 2009 00:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Greendale's about the same level of quality as the rest of Neil's movie projects.
I find it weird that there are still Neil Young fans who get angry at him for doing weird, inscrutable, fairly half-assed things. This is what he's done his entire career!
― Courtney Love's Jew Loan Officer (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 17 January 2009 00:26 (fifteen years ago) link
I never bought Fillmore and Massey because I knew they were going to be on here -- and i'm getting this as soon as it comes out obviously -- but woah, there is no Canterbury thing on here!
Hadn't bought that yet either ... now I guess I have to, yay!

Neil Young is a tremendous artist, possibly on par with The Who but in a different style, playing his country rock. My favorite record has always been Ragged Glory for White Line. About trucking or cocaine I wonder?
― Dan Landings, Saturday, 17 January 2009 01:07 (fifteen years ago) link
It's not about cocaine - he wrote it decades before Ragged Glory, slightly different lyrics and the title 'River of Pride'. Great song though.
― iatee, Saturday, 17 January 2009 01:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh I see. Yes a great song.
― Dan Landings, Saturday, 17 January 2009 01:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Also I think 'Fork in the Road' is great, or, at least the idea of it is great. I probably won't listen to the song more than 10 times in my life, but it does have some great lines. 'I got hope. But you can't eat hope' = zeitgeist of 1/2009 in 8 words.
He's an old fogey and it comes through once in a while (Twist and Shout reference, vinyl stubbornness) but he's the type of old dude who's always willing to live in the contemporary world instead of the 1960s - both musically and politically.
― iatee, Saturday, 17 January 2009 01:24 (fifteen years ago) link
ok I'm getting kinda excited about this, I am appreciating the positive anticipation for this here
― Euler, Saturday, 17 January 2009 17:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Excited about the new album Neil's going to put out instead of the archives? YEAHHHH. But for real, stuff like "Fork in the Road" is a big part of being a Neil Young fan! He's a lovable curmudgeon! Does what he wants! It's been that way ... forever.

finally listening to A Treasure the Neil country International Harvesters thing....gotta say, while it's certainly better than Old Ways which as bad as some of his albums have been might be the absolutely worst for me personally....a lot of this is kinda shit :|
I like Amber Jean and the version of Flying on the Ground is Wrong is pretty...actually I really like the version of Southern Pacific and Grey Riders
buuuut...man the real "country songs" on here are really fucking phony and annoying....god "Motor City" is right up there with "Let's Roll" or "This Note's for You"...obv I love Neil to death but his real strident obvious songs are just barf to me
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
or basically haha the album isn't bad when Neil Young is being Neil Young with a slightly kooky country band but when he tries to play the role as some kinda country singer it's really fucking bad in my opinion
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
it makes a case for the country years, for sure -- things like "southern pacific" and "grey riders" are fantastic. but neil's "voice of the people" country stuff can be a bit hard to swallow, it's true. you kind of want to think he's just trolling reagan america, but that might be giving it too much credit.
it's missing this great version of "interstate" which is a shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc65mHWrS1k

you kind of want to think he's just trolling reagan america, but that might be giving it too much credit.
yeah i'm reading shakey again now and i think he was into that schtick for real - he seems really changeable (haha obviously)
i mean, it's good he put it out, at least you see well there was SOMETHING going on there, cuz god like i said Old Ways is just awfully produced and just such a horrid attempt at "country"...but hell, I guess it's got a few gems I would put on a Neil mix like Grey Riders especially
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:19 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i think it's an interesting release for sure -- a lot of the 80s albums would be better served by live collections like this. i need to re-up those "Bad News" 80s comps I did a few years back --did you get those?

The audio format is a good idea, and more power to him...but "Neil Young says this audio format is sonically superior" is right up there with "mastering personally overseen by Pete Townshend." In other words, someone who's spent decades playing loud, and is pushing 70, maybe doesn't have the hearing to be the go-to authority on this kind of thing.
