anyone heard the Revolution Blues outtakes 4 LP set, which is basically just a few minutes of the song and then three hours of Rusty Kershaw and Stephen Stills struggling over a knife while Neil eggs Rusty on to kill Stephen?
― omar little, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
yeah "Thrasher" was a real moment for me
also we literally were just naming obscure songs like oh he's gonna open with this or that and I had just joked he's gonna open with "Last Trip to Tulsa" and then he actually did

There's a video of Neil doing a beautiful version of "Birds" from a CSNY Fillmore East show on the site right now....is that something that's been released before??

a bunch of video stuff that's new or i never noticed....in the 90s he did some weird "show" where it was model trains and they did funny voices for the little small model train model guys???
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 4 April 2019 18:13 (five years ago) link
If so, I wonder if he ever ran into Ringo (of Thomas the Tank Engine game) during that period. “Hey, how’s your make believe train world going?”“Good, and yours?”

haha, haven't seen that ... i think the CSNY videos were on the OG BLURAY. archives site remains totally frustrating ... whole lotta talk about unreleased stuff, not a lot of actual unreleased stuff.
― tylerw, Thursday, 4 April 2019 18:21 (five years ago) link
IIRC, those CSNY Fillmore shows were filmed for a movie that didn't come out, but Neil hijacked the footage for Journey Through The Past and other docs.

no but can't wait to read it
it's super frustrating because we paid $20 to join so me, cbesigner and a friend could get presales, there's literally no benefit to being a member outside of 1 live Promise of the Real HD track I got to download

does anyone know much about Oceanside/Countryside?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 4 April 2019 19:01 (five years ago) link
here's what I know:
Neil’s Comes A Time LP went through a variety of iterations before it was finally released in 1978. The original was Oceanside-Countryside, recorded in Fort Lauderdale and Nashville in early 1977. “Oceanside-Countryside was a record I felt really good about,” Neil wrote in a recent Times-Contrarian post. “It was quite a personal record, mostly made up of acoustic songs which had no bass or drums.” The LP was done and dusted – but Reprise suggested that Neil add more instrumentation to the mix. Uncharacteristically, he took his label’s advice and recorded the more fleshed out material that ended up dominating the released Comes A Time. But Oceanside-Countryside promises a more intimate listening experience. Neil calls it “a breath of fresh air.”

hmmmm interesting...kinda like the hitchhiker vers of comes a time sounds cool....
one thing I ignored until today was the CSNY 1974 set that came out a few years ago...some Neil gems on here

I can't think of any act I like more than Neil Young that I've lost track of more. That awesome streak of Le Noise, Americana and Psychedelic Pill seemed really promising - and that was only six years ago! - but now I don't know what the hell is going on.

the archives stuff is consistently greatas far as studio stuff, the only thing you've missed is Peace Trail which is really quirky and coolPromise of the Real sucks as a band

Don't Be Denied off CSNY 74 is really great
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 April 2019 13:33 (five years ago) link
I really like the Neil stuff on the csny 74 set, but yeah, the rest is pretty skippable. Pretty bloated.
― tylerw, Friday, 5 April 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link
man them huffing and puffing through "Long Time Gone" in a football stadium is like almost cliche "death of the 60s" shit...
cool to hear Pushed it Over the End
Revolution Blues is surprisingly tuff, Crosby must've stopped wetting himself about that song

re: Oceanside/Countryside, there was one more step before it became Comes A Time, which is the rejected title (and art) of 'Give To The Wind':

wow i've never heard of that, thanks!
Comes a Time (which is a good album for sure)...but it's funny, I sometimes wonder in a couple cases if there were times when Neil was running low on cash...not that they are uninspired albums at all, but Comes a Time and Harvest Moon for how contrary he is usually those both seemed like times when he was like..okay we need something people are going to like - not a problem

i like the give to the wind cover a lot better than comes a time

one time I got invited to dinner by a Mormon couple & I went & they played Comes a Time

Comes A Time (the song) is one of my all-time Neil faves

“I have been talking with our team about releasing all [the albums] here at NYA exclusively in 2020,” he writes. “Initially, these albums would not be released as CDs or vinyl. Eventually they may, but they would be here at NYA exclusively in the meantime and there are quite a few of them.”
How are they still so bad at this?

uuuuggghhhhhh
I'm guessing they'll all get released, but you have to spend hours digging through the virtual filing cabinets on his streaming site to find them.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
does anyone have a rough idea of how many people are paying members of the NYA? is it like...10,000 people or so? 50K?

"I want you to hear the music but I also want to present it to you in the clunkiest, most inconvenient, most unappealing way possible. Come to think of it you are probably better off just listening to the boots."
― chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 16:57 (four years ago) link
in order for you to hear the pristine sound, i am releasing this on NYA so a friend can record it off of their computer and then send it to you after converting it to .wmv for no particular reason

so long, Neil

i think the NYA has around 20,000 subscribers. pretty much a nonstory, lol. "hmm it never occurred to me to release these things i've been talking about releasing for 25 years! i'll get right on it!"
― tylerw, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:10 (four years ago) link
Maybe if we all write personal letters to Neil explaining that we'd like to pay to hear some of his music before we die, he'll speed up

i haven't been on NYA in a while, not since the brief period when it was free.
i see they have stuck with the whole Replicate the look and feel of a file cabinet, on a computer screen, concept
― at home in the alternate future, (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:25 (four years ago) link
personally i wish they would go even further back and replicate the look and feel of Winnipeg in the early 1960s, with all the people around town telling stories about Neil, and you can walk around the local venues of the time and see the Squires play. perhaps you could then talk to Neil and join his band, and then play music with Neil for 35+ years as his best friend and songwriting partner. all in NYA!
― at home in the alternate future, (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
note to self in the year 2065: if you're reading this, maybe it's possible to do what you just wrote above. go check NYA and see if you can patch in an update that does all that, accessible only by looking at small hole cut into the back of the 2019 NYA's file cabinet.

does dylan spend much time, directly, on his bootleg series? or does he just delegate that shit? if so, have that person get in touch with neil
