Vacant Horizon Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Love Neil. Not downloading Spotify. I can wait a few weeks. Why no spotify? LOL! I have a love hate relationship with it. It's overwhelming and takes away the fun of buying new music and letting it sink in. On the other hand, it has everything! Looking forward to this release. I don't think it was mentioned in his biography which i find curious as it does discuss Homegrown etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's great, it'll still be great then. So much great music out there already. I'm an old curmudgeon when it comes to music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Even stranger - PONO is now a streaming service. And I thought he pulled all of his stuff off of streaming sites. I don't do streaming either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Aha Has anyone heard the Decade re-master? I think that was one of the first cds I bought a long time ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Aha Has anyone heard the Decade re-master? I think that was one of the first cds I bought a long time ago. No but I did see the vinyl of it in a store for $85. I laughed out loud. Get real, Neil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I am curious to how it sounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Acoustic demo of Powderfinger. Full band electric probably better, but interesting. An enigmatic song that sounds as relevant as ever. Too bad Skynyrd never got around to recording it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTV6QB3btQs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 First Listen: Neil Young, 'Hitchhiker'(NPR) Love love love this version of Powderfinger. Hopefully Chrome Dreams is the next "lost album" to get a physical release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think he is doing some sort of FB live thing tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 i have always liked this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7wZKj7ps2A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Pocahontas and Ride My Llama are two of my favorite NY songs. Of course - I am use to hearing the Rust Never Sleeps versions. I have not bought a NY album in years. It was cool to listen to the new one. But I don't think I need to buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 i have always liked this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7wZKj7ps2AThat whole tape is one of my favorites. One of my first NY tapes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 First Listen: Neil Young, 'Hitchhiker'(NPR) Love love love this version of Powderfinger. Hopefully Chrome Dreams is the next "lost album" to get a physical release. Definitive version of "Hitchhiker" to my ears. A proper, physical release for Chrome Dreams would be excellent. (Damn you, Carole King!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo Jones Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hitchhiker is excellent. I highly recommend Tyler Wilcox's cover story in Uncut about Neil's archive. Very well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hitchhiker- the song is worth the price.the rest is gravy.real good gravy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Already Great Hi there,December 1st will be a big day for me. The Visitor will be coming to your town. I will be going to my town. You will be able to hear me and see me. My archive will open on that same day, a place you can visit and experience every song I have ever released in the highest quality your machine will allow. It’s the way it’s supposed to be. In the beginning, everything is free.Lots of Love,neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I picked up the reissue of Harvest Moon yesterday. I haven't heard this album in a long time so it's nice to be able to listen to it again. It's a nostalgic filled album that actually really reminds me of my parents, I have faint memories of them playing this album a lot when it came out. That's not really a surprise, not many baby boomer acts did a great job of recreating something from the 70s in the 90s, but Neil did here. I think as far as NY albums go, this one might be massively underrated. With the (huge) exception of Such A Woman, every song on here is great, even if Old King is a bit of novelty song (I might be biased as I love hound dogs). But Dreamin' Man, From Hank to Hendrix, One of These Days, Unknown Legend, might be as good as it gets for post-Geffen Neil. If this album is a sequel to Harvest than it's an Empire Strikes Back kind of sequel. While Harvest might have higher highs, Harvest Moon is more consistent overall, in my opinion.

Analogman Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 That was the last NY album I ever bought. And maybe one of the last cassette tapes I ever bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I thought Psychedelic Pill and Le Noise were pretty good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I thought Psychedelic Pill and Le Noise were pretty goodAgree. Thought Le Noise will stand with his greatest. Great songs. Psychedelic Pill is a bit more of a mixed bag, but if you like the Horse you have to like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 new record = meh. hopefully there will be some songs that get better when played live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Listened to the new record once, kind of in the background while working. Don't think I'll listen again. Did I miss anything? Nothing stood out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Already Great .. gave it a listen ..Initially, It does take me back to his more constructive 70's sound, then it goes awry. After starting bit of story telling filled with some good hooks, he incorporated A group of people saying words that were difficult to dechiper in one listen. More recently Another vote for Le Noise as a good song.Caught that tour and many others over the years.It's been an interesting ride in last 15 years seeing him LIVE. Hope he heads out again soon..

calvino Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Read that he is doing a webcast tomorrow. Young’s livestream will take place at a currently undisclosed location on Friday, December 1 at 8 p.m. ET. Canadians can watch live on CTV.ca and viewers around the globe can tune in via Facebook. Young’s recent announcement revealing the upcoming opening of his extensive archives stated:December 1st will be a big day for me. The Visitor will be coming to your town. I will be going to my town. You will be able to hear me and see me. My archive will open on that same day, a place you can visit and experience every song I have ever released in the highest quality your machine will allow.
