wheelco Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 man, I can't keep up with Neil releases as it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Seems to me he is turning this into a DP thing. It may actually be better this way - if it came out as some 8 cd set - I bet it would cost a lot of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks for posting this Judy! Looking forward to this...whatdisay threw me a link on the 1/19/71 awhile back. Great stuff! And I hope like hell Mike is right about a Dick's Picks-style series of archival releases...my wife will be as excited as me about something like that ( maybe even more so).

Willkoman Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks for the link Judy. I love this line fom a reviewer: "He comes on wearing his private rain cloud like a halo". Good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Campaigner Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The plan is for both the Performance series *and* the box sets to be released, the first of which (8cds, 2dvds) is due later this year. What makes this year different than any other year that the first box has supposed to be released? That one older concert has already been released and another is due in a couple of months. The Fillmore and now Massey Hall gigs are signs that things are actually moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Campaigner Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 (I posted this on another site... will port it over) From uncut.co.uk http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/neil_young/news/9279 Long-awaited details about the forthcoming Neil Young Archives box-set have surfaced today. The anticipated release date of 'Archives, Volume 1' is September this year. The collection will feature eight discs, including "Live At the Filmore" (released last November) and "Live At Massey Hall", a solo set from 1971 which is due out on March 26 . Thirty-eight previously unreleased songs will feature on Archives, billed as a 'musical autobiography' of Neil Young. Tantalisingly, the eight CDs only cover the period from 1964 to 1971, suggesting it is only the beginning of a vast release campaign. Allan Jones, Editor of Uncut says "This is incredible news for Neil Young fans, like myself, who seem to have been waiting the best part of our adult lives for the release of this archive material. Neil has been talking about it for years.When I interviewed him in 1989, he told me it was coming together and to expect it soon. Which is also what he told me when I interviewed him in 1993. It looks finally like it's s happening at last, though, incredibly enough. On the evidence of the Live at The Filmore CD, it should be mind-blowing stuff." We'll announce more details about Archives, Volume 1 on Uncut.co.uk as we get them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This does not look good.....if you are a hardcore like me, you bought (or will buy) the 2 live CD already, now you will have to buy them again when Archive #1 is released....maybe you can just buy the unreleased stubb but I would Doubt that.

intodeep Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 http://www.repriserecords.com/neilarchives/ It's coming. Trailor is up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 That's the Massey Town Hall promo + I wish he would put out Journey Thru The Past (the film) - or better yet - I wish I would find it on a BitTorrent site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortuneinmyhead Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'd buy it. Not sure if anyone else would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Archives rumours have been such a cruel tease for so many years, but I can't help getting excited when I see that trailer. Oh. My. God. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cusacker Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 http://www.repriserecords.com/neilarchives/ It's coming. Trailor is up. that is different from the massey hall trailor i saw a month ago. it looks like it could be a trailor for the box set...lets hope so! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 There was, of course, a whole track list and whatnot up on his website a few years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calexico Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I freaked out this morning when I saw the trailer...will it ever come? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 And will Neil freak out at the last minute and find some reason to delay it again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I wet myself when I saw that trailer. If Neil's Chinese Democracy is this far along, I think we'll really get it this time. Here's hoping, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 i think he's starting to realize that if he wants to put the entire thing out while he's still alive, he can't really be delaying it all a ton... sucks to say, but you never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Perhaps since Neil's health scare he's gonna let some stuff see the light of day. We'll see. I might have to take out a 2nd mortgage, but wtf...ya gotta have priorities! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Maybe it has been hard for Neil to finally let go and release the Archives because this might seem like a tombstone to him. (I imagine there must be some existential angst lurking there somewhere.) For someone like Neil, it's probably much easier to keep making new albums than to look back and acknowledge that you've reached the twilight of your career (life). As a fan, even I'm not ready to face that yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
