Analogman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Old Neil never gives up - that's for sure. I didn't figure his new streaming deal would be free forever. Even though the messages he was posting or maybe various articles about the messages seem to suggest it would be free all the time. He is also having a big auction of cars, clothing, guitars, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 What's up with this 'new streaming deal'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It is suppose to be everything he ever recorded. And I am guessing he is going to charge a fee at some point. I don't think there had been any talk about what that will be as of yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think the archive will be everything he has released so far, not everything he has recorded. Though I'm sure he will be gradually adding recordings until they run out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Is there a link to this site, yet? I guess I have been following any of this. Is it the neilyoungarchives.com site? (his site has always bugged me - too cumbersome. Thrasher Wheat isn't any better) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think that is right. I guess that is what people want now. I am not really interested in streaming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yeah - the new one is not so good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think that is right. I guess that is what people want now. I am not really interested in streaming. Not a Neil Young specific comment, but I am not interested in streaming either. It's frustrating that I can stream most every album ever for free, with ads, or for the price of one downloaded album a month, without ads. But to own a digital copy of a new album costs me $10 or more. I have neglected to buy downloads of several releases because, compared to streaming, it's highway robbery.

Analogman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I am into the whole process of pulling whatever I want to play off the shelf and going from there. I do apparently have hundreds of songs on Amazon from cds I have bought. I hope this venture works out for him. I am guessing he must be in the hole from the failure of Pono.

NoJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Perhaps his electric Cadillac will increase his revenue stream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 http://youtu.be/tfyNPxM-M-w I can't help but roll my eyes at those opening lyrics. Yeah Neil, you have way more freedom in Trump's America than you would in Canada. Oh well, at least it's better than Children of Destiny. Looking forward to the livestream tonight. Hopefully him doing a solo concert in Ontario is a hint towards a solo Canadian tour in 2018. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I still can't get past that name - Promise of the Real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I still can't get past that name - Promise of the Real.Assuming you know that it's from a lyric in Walk On, which makes it a little better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The archive is up on his website....it's insane. Some stuff not able to play but says coming soon. If you drill in he has photos and lyric handwritten sheets. Pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It looks like Muddy Track is on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Neil Young talking about Neil Young. I am listening to Sugar Mountain first. That is probably the first NY song I ever heard. Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It's really insane good...watching Birds at Fillmore East 1970. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 There must be some songs that were left off of The Buffalo Springfield box. I will have to dig around and find those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It's really insane good...watching Birds at Fillmore East 1970.OMG Neil Young going to a record bootleg store early 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 That has been around on YT for a long time. I think it was filmed for Journey Through The Past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ya, Neil gets all self-righteous in that, hassling the store clerk, who did a great job at standing up to Neil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I figured it would be a week: Between now and June 30, you’ll have free access to the entire Neil Young Archives with unlimited streaming. So have at it! (And don’t worry; once your trial is up, you’ll be able to sign up for a subscription at a very modest cost.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 So I take it unreleased recordings will start being posted on July 1st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 That's probably right. In recent years L.A. has become one of my favorite NY songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
