Analogman Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Neil Young is finally ready to roll out releases from his long-rumored "Archives Performance" series. First up is "Live at the Fillmore East 1970," due Nov. 14 via Reprise. The album features six as-yet-unannounced selections from Crazy Horse's March 6-7 runs at the New York venue, at a time when late guitarist Danny Whitten was still a member of the band. "Fillmore" will also be available in a CD/DVD edition featuring a high-resolution audio mix, photos from the show, Young's handwritten song lyrics and press articles from the era. In addition to core members Whitten, Billy Talbot (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums), the four shows found Crazy Horse augmented by producer Jack Nitzsche on electric piano. Among the songs featured in the set lists were "On the Way Home," "Broken Arrow," "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." Young just wrapped a summer tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young but will return to live duty Sept. 30 for Farm Aid in Camden, N.J., and Oct. 21-22 for the Bridge School Benefit outside San Francisco. http://billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_di...t_id=1003155579 http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/index.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrNo Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The album features six as-yet-unannounced selections from Crazy Horse's March 6-7 runs at the New York. Does that mean only 6 songs? A 20 minute "Down By The River" perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicburto Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 6 tracks feels like a bit of a letdown after all the times the archives has been promised. They'd better be some damn good tracks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What happened to the Archives @#%$ box set!!!!! I suppose Neil may have changed his mind (again!) and decided to release this stuff piece by piece like Dylan... but even the Bootleg Series started with a box set (Vol 1-3).

rwrkb Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 What happened to the Archives @#%$ box set!!!!! that's what i want to know! sure i would have gone broke, but it'll be even worse if i have to buy them one disc at a time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 A 20 minute "Down By The River" perhaps?correct. Neil talked about that version in an article recently as for the Archives going piece by piece, i don't think it's gonna happen that way, i think he decided to release this live show seperate from Vol 1, for what reason i don't know.

suites Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 WOO FUCKIN WOO......This is just the beginning....once he starts it it will come out fast I bet. I think I already have that show on bootleg....the Harmonies are priceless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'll believe it when I see it. Neil's archives are like GNR Chinese Democracy. Promised often yet thus far never delivered. (Note I do nto want GNR at all in any way shape or form. I just used them for comparisons) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Campaigner Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 This will be just the beginning, don't worry. I think part of Neil's new deal with Reprise that he signed a couple of years back included a big chunk of money demanding the Archives be released. As for the Fillmore thing, the tracks are all killer, including the definitive 'Cowgirl in the Sand' and a 'Down By the River' that will make you wet yourself. Also included is a Crazy Horse version of 'Winterlong'. Tracklist (rumoured); Everybody Knows This is NowhereWinterlongDown By the RiverWonderin'Come On Baby Let's Go DowntownCowgirl in the Sand Bear in mind that the shows the release is taken from were two shows from the same day with identical setlists, apart from DBtR and Cowgirl, and that the first half of each show was an acoustic set. The only song that's missing from the Crazy Horse section of the shows is 'Cinnamon Girl', something he's already released two live versions of. Apart from 'Downtown' (which appeared on Tonight's the Night), all of the above songs are first timers for a Crazy Horse live album. We'll see if the bugger gets released!

Shortage of Cashews Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 If this is the first piece to finally see the light o' day, I'll be a happy camper. We've all been patient--reward us, please Neil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willkoman Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 For someone who insists the Archives will contain the bad Neil as well as the good Neil he sure is picky taking only six songs from two shows. He originally said Archive I was to contain a live show of Crazy Horse from 1969 with Danny Whitten. That's a far cry from six live songs from two different shows. Fucking Neil. The walking talking contradiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 From Glorious Noise Wait a minute. Six selections? Six? We've waited all these years for the Archives and we get six songs? What the fuck' date=' Neil? Why you wanna tease us like that, daddy? Just give it the fuck up already! Seriously. Joel Bernstein, dude, you've got to convince Neil to stop hoarding this shit and let us have it...[/quote'] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willkoman Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I think being a hardcore Neil Young fan requires the patience of a Zen master.Yes indeed. "I won't bore you with the story" of my length of service but I have reached a plateau of complete serenity when it comes to Mr. Young . Aka Joe Yankee, Phil Perspective, Shakey Deal, Waterface, the estimable Bernard Shakey, Flyface, Neil and last but most definately not least Neil Percival Kenneth Robert Ragland Young. I've never read Shakey. Didn't want to. I wouldn't know which parts to believe. Plus "Once you start talking about the mystique it's gone". I do have this nagging feeling I'm missing out on another alias though. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. All quotes are from NY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
