This is a thread for appreciation, it is a thread for news, a thread for reviews.. whatever - if it is neil young you are looking for then let this thread be a home away from home....
another in my never ending quest to fashion a corner of M&N for me :)
But yeah - anyone heard any news regarding archives?
Hi MM....
hahaha u got an admirer with tremendous bossoms.
Like i said www.myspace.com/neilyoung for an amzing interview on the track impeach the president and about the marketing of the record.
A man went to a Costume Party with nothing but a young woman on his back. "So what the hell are you supposed to be?" the host asked. "I'm a snail." The man replied. "What a load of crap!" the host spat. "How can you be a snail when all you've got is that young woman on your back?" "You've got it wrong, mate," the fellow replied. "That's Michelle".
Hahahaha pisser maate
I think that Living with War has put the Acrhives back til November time, but you know what Neil's like, he never does what's expected, so its just as likely to be released on Monday...
I've ordered the DVD of Heart of Gold, £15 inc postage, from playusa.com
I'll never forget the night I went hunting through old cupboards and drawers and came upon 'Mirrorball'-my sister and mother had gotten it at some gig and had use for it so shoved it into darkness, and then I came upon it.
Around that time, a few months later, I saw 'Deadman' for the first time....And then they played a special with Neil and Crazy Horseon TV and the first song was 'Hey hey, my my' and they had this massive metal ferris wheel spinning in the back ground, with a carnival kind of tinkling tune going to the leading riff of the song....
It all started from there!
I love Dead Man so much.
My primer for Neil was "After the goldrush"...I'd liked the solo Bernard Butler album, and frequently came across reviews that mentioned him as something of a modern day Neil Young...both in guitar playing and vocals, I was in my local library, and that was the first Neil Young album I borrowed...listened to that, thought it was fucking great. I think from there I went onto "Tonight's the night", then "Harvest", before "Everybody knows this is nowhere". Classics, the lot of them.
I caught rust never sleeps on tv and my mind proceeded to be blown.
i joined a band where the dude was a huge Neil Fan (well a fan of the harvest like stuff)... so I bought Decade to find out what he was talking about. fucking hell. it was a slippery slope from then on....
I think that the one track that really swung it for me was "Tell me why"..can't explain it, but that day I first stuck the album on, that was just totally the right song at the right time.
Neil is best when taken in cojunction with intense volume and fiery lead guitar. I think the latest effort is ordinary and I hated Greenfield (or whatever the fuck it was called).
I downloaded "Celebration at Big Sur" DVD the other day, fucking great version of "Sea of madness" by CSNY, it's one of those tracks that I wish Neil had officially released. I've got a couple of live versions of it, plus a rehearsal version, but it's such a cracker.
Some kind soul has uploaded it to YouTube too;

Whaddya reckon, Angelic? I love that hairy hippy in blue, he's so far gone.
Yeah, soz dude, still ain't got round to it...i can post a pic of the package sitting next to my monitor if you want? Heh. I've got a few things to post, so i'll try to take 'em into town on thursday.
That vid should still be manageable on dialup, click the link, then when the video tries to play click on pause, then carry on yr net usage...click Play in 15/20 minutes or so and the whole thing should have loaded, so it won't be all jerky...
Excellent!
Sound quality goes off a bit in places, but hey, it's late 60s, for something that's nearly 40yr old we can let them off...
oh my god.. i just purchased Crazy Horse Live in Berlin in 76 and CSN&Y Live at Wembley in 1974 on DVD... should arrive in the next few days - i cna't fucking wait to watch them!!!
bags first lend

Off Time Fades Away, he's been playing:
Journey Through The Past, Love In Mind and Time Fades Away. Not all at the same show though.
if only he would play Don't Be Denied!
just purchased the Deja Vu film from earlier this year on DVD and hope to get a chance to watch it on the weekend.
is it in all good video libraries?
Wouldn't mind seeing that one. In the meantime I think I'll rewatch ''Year Of The Horse''.
a full chart of all the songs neil has played this year and when
yr stealing my thunder, god.
Wow, I'll be sending that link home to investigate. (Stupid work internet policy.....)
I've been watching Year of the Horse too over the weekend and listening lots to Live Rust. Fuck, I'm getting excited and it's not even January yet!
Yeah...happy about ''For THe Turnstiles'' and 'Cowgirls In The Sand'' but if he decides to bust out ''Ambulance Blues'' or ''Motion Pictures''. I WILL lose my shit.
watched Deja Vu over the weekend - it's very good in places... and quite mediocre in places.... the section of the tour where they play atlanta and half the audience walsk out when they start Let's Impeach The President is good though.
I didn't get a ticket.....am now kicking myself.
I've decided that not buying tickets to see Neil was perhaps one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life. If for ANY reason one of you with a ticket can't go, please consider selling it on to me. I'd love you forever.....& I've got a lot of love to give.
I'm sure someone told me it hadn't sold out in Melbourne the other day, on the grass obviously.
oooooh...I thought it had, I'll check. Thanks moke!
No such luck, all gone. :-(
Nothing like listening to ''Ragged Glory'' way too loud! I love Neil.
I'm going to say WELD is my favourite. The Ragged Glory material is just all killer. I'm a much bigger fan of rock and roll Neil than his other side (which I do understand and love as well but nowhere near as much).
I have a ticket!!!!! Thanks cerealgirl...you are my hero.
I want a ticket... is it sold out yet?
so yeah...anyway.. I want a ticket. Anyone wanting to offload... let me know
Weld is pretty good, although I just got kind of bored during ''Blowin' In The Wind. I love Greendale. I'm really looking forward to giving that another listen soon.
