do you know cinnamon girl, cowgirl in the sand, or down by the river?

 

my 3 favourite songs off everybody knows, my favourite neil album - and when i check wiki he specifically wrote those 3 when he had a 106 deg F fever. neil should get a fever more often.

 

i'm also very partial to tonight's the night, on the beach, and after the goldrush or live rust from time to time. although i hella overlistened to AtGR when i was 17. i much prefer dirty fucked up electric guitar warrior to the acoustic stuff. his soloing style is as unique as zappas.

 

 

i'm only looking at listening to early stuff right now. i'm listening to whatever the book (shakey) is discussing. right now he just quit buffalo springfield and signed with elliot roberts.

 

i think i may agree on the style i prefer too, maybe depends on the day though

Neil's album "Everybody knows this is nowhere" is unequivocally awesome and one of my favourites of all time. I'm completely for a Neil Young sub-forum :D

 

yeah, it's the one i just keep on coming back to over the space of years and years

that solo is attached. fuck man, it blows me away. just play a note, let the rhythm section provide the context. which they do.

it's like watching brian eno and john coltrane unexpectedly spawning a mariujana-loving hick baby

still no buffalo springfield love?

 

i posted mr soul youtube. not the bs version but.

 

i hadn't heard (or hadn't known i'd heard) any buffalo springfield so i looked some up. not really what i expected. the band name makes them sound pretty rocking but their kinda 60s pop type shit, what i heard at least. neil didnt write much for them either. maybe 10 tracks total no?

 

thats like saying the fall are some 80s indie type shit

 

listen to broken arrow.. better than anything neil young did solo or with crazy horse (in my opinion)

not even close to as good as the original but interesting. thom sounds pretty bad on it.

 

i paused on the beach (the album) to listen

 

 

my library (or internet) doesn't have 'everybody knows this is nowhere' so i've got to hit the rekid shop. managed to download zuma so gonna listen that next

Neil Young is legend but will be forgotten about way sooner than say timeless legends like Dylan and the beatles. I don't time will be as good to him. But his songwriting is unreal, andh is early work with buffalo springfield was political rock that was true and trendy to like.

picked up tonight's the night too. was intrigued by the description of it in shakey. on first listen now.

 

the part in the book about "here's one you've heard before" as they burst into the title track again made me proper lol

Tonight's the night is even better appreciated when drunk.

 

 

Get the unreleased "Time Fades Away" on the web, there was a HDCD pressing bootlegged a couple of years ago and it sounds great. It was part of the batch of Neil CD's that appeared around 2000 (like On the Beach, which was only available on vinyl), but didn't for that one. So the only way to hear it is via bootleg. Typical Neil.

 

 

Like releasing his archives in Blu-Ray (a lot of material in it isn't high fidelity for sure), saying CDs sound crap, but then a week later he re-released his first 4 albums in remastered format, but on itunes and CD only!

i got the archives 64-77 and its fucking awesome. so what if some are released already its a nice retrospective of a few live discs and some nice alternitive mixes and such. its nice to just put on and sit back.#

The original "tonight" exist as an acetate, you can easily find it on the web, just search "tonight's the night acetate". Some people have said of it as not being the real acetate, which is probably true. It's made by bootleggers but is pretty much how the original version would be.

 

As for Time Fades Away, well most of the time the downloads are the vinyl rip, the HDCD bootleg really sounds good. Again, "time fades away hdcd" in google :biggrin: But yeah Archives II will be massive, imho he was even better post-Harvest.
