Got back from the 5/20 Detroit show. My only show on this tour and I liked it a lot. Despite having heard a number of tapes and CDs from the tour, there is just nothing like being there. The Fox is a truly unbelievable theatre. I've never been in a place that is so wedding-cake baroque over-the-top. Wall to wall gilt, statues, orange-pink marble columns, little loges,wow, what a place.
After the show we went around back to check out the buses. Neil really does have the coolest buses on the road. Saw Pegi and Bear. Talked to Zeke a couple of times. The second time he came over to us to let us know that Neil wouldn't be out until probably 3 a.m. since they were filming in there. We wondered what was going on since we'd seen a roadie go to Neil's bus, and take a guitar back into the theatre.
Wonder what they were filming? Video for a new song? Which song? Zeke claimed he didn't know, but smirked that he had to stay up till it was over.

For Rusties in southern Ontario, Q107-FM is airing some live shows on Sunday nights @ 9PM, starting this week with the Black Crowes.
Schedule is here.
No other information is given, other than air dates, and the other
artists include NEIL YOUNG on June 28th.
I assume that this is an old show, not one from the current tour.

Subject: Neil and Pocahontas
I saw Rick Stephenson's post about Neil being mentioned in Smithsonian Magazine and thought I'd search for it. Found it in the January 1999 issue - The Object at Hand column "Picturing Pocahontas". Here's a snippet, with the Neil reference:
"Anyone trying to get a reasonable fix on the lady, somewhere between dry history and the Disney version, soon finds out that none of the details of her real life come from her own words. Historians have pieced together her life from the accounts of others, most notably her friend, Capt. John Smith, whose veracity of detail and recollection is, to put it mildly, questionable. During the intervening four centuries others have showered her with virtues. Poets and writers from Thackeray to Hart Crane celebrated her charm. More lately rocker Neil Young sang, "I would give a thousand pelts / To...find out how she felt." And now we have the animated eco-warrior princess from Disney."The full text can be found here.

Subject: Barlow on Neil
In HUMO, an independant Belgian magazine for music and television, I found lots and lots about Neil...
Rustie-soldier tortured Lou Barlow (ex Dinosaur Jr., now leading man of Sebadoh) said a lot in a HUMO-interview... (I'll translate it for you. I know that you Rusties are still working on your Dutch.)
Barlow: Which is your favourite song on the new Sebadoh album?A little bit further...
HUMO: Love is stronger
Barlow: Ha, that's my favourite too. What do like so much about it?
HUMO: It could have been a song by Will Oldham, but maybe you don't take that as compliment.
Barlow {surprised}: Yeah? That's a compliment, I think that Oldman is great, but you are the first one to say that. I like to make myself believe that Love Is Stronger sounds like Neil Young.
HUMO: That was the second comparison I wanted to make.
Barlow: Neil Young is one of the only musicians that I truely respect. When we listened to Love Is Stronger for the first time after the recording, I thought: 'Hey, I sound like Neil Young.' And immediately I was ashamed for having that thought, because I think that nobody can touch Neil, so certainly I can't. And I didn't consiously write a song in the style of Neil. It was afterwards that we had to establish that.
HUMO: Also the guitar-solo sounds pretty "Neil."
Barlow: I think that Neil is the only guitar-player who can play a relevant guitar-solo. I try to avoid solos as much as possible, and more guitarists should do so. But when I play one, it will always sound like something by Neil.
HUMO: Did you avoid your Neil Young influences on purpose until now because of your adventures with Dinosaur Jr., where these influences were omnipresent?
Barlow: No, because in Dinosaur it was especially Jay Mascis who took care of the "NEIL-element". Jay and I, we both loved different Neils. {laughs} He loved the heavy electric things, I'm more a fan of the acoustic work: Buffalo Springfield, Harvest... The feeling he puts in that kind of songs. When you're a musician yourself, you often only pay attention to things that you can use yourself, and then it is very difficult to get emotionally involved with music. But Neil Young is the only musician who can make me weep. Neil is always there when I need him and when I least expect him.
HUMO: Neil Young is said to be a Sebadoh-fan, how happy are you with that?
Barlow: Not really happy, as I know that it is exaggerated. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth is a good friend of mine, and he played with Neil recently. He made him listen to Sebadoh. Neil said, 'What's that? Sebadoh? Sounds good.' It was nothing more. I hope that he only hears our new album, but he really should not listen to our old records...
HUMO: Do you understand that there are young people who like Marilyn Manson AND Sebadoh?This guy really understands what Neil is about. What he says is how I think of Neil as well. He expresses it in a wonderful way...
Barlow: We even have fans with Offspring-shirts, so obviously anything is possible. {laughs} No, I do understand it. Those people must hear something in the music of Marilyn Manson and The Offspring that we don't hear,but it means as well that they are open to everything. Those who like Marilyn Manson AND Sebadoh must think that image is not the most important thing. And if they worship Marilyn Manson, the door to other stuff is open. Then they'll end up buying a Bauhaus or a T-Rex record sooner or later.Thanks to one group you often get access to loads of other groups: if you discover Neil Young at a young age, for instance, you have the key to a huge amount of musical history in your own hands. Neil opens the door to country, rock, blues etc. That's true for a group like the Velvet Underground as well.

learned ALL of Neil Young's songs when she attended this school.

Speakin' Out
Oh, man, oh, man!Last night I went to the Tractor to see the Picketts (my 38th time). Also on the bill were the Penningtones (opening) & the Minus 5 (closing). I wasn't quite sure if I was gonna stick around & check out the Minus 5, but after the Picketts' set I saw a sales rep who does business at Tower & chatted with him for a moment or two. He mentioned that I should stay for the set, something about a Neil Young song coming up. I thought "what the hell" & got back to my spot on the floor.
O.K., the Minus 5 came on-stage. The main guy of the band is Scott McCaughey of the Young Fresh Fellows. The rest of the members come & go, with an appearance sometimes by Peter Buck of R.E.M. (he didn't make it this night). Tonight, however, Hugh Jones of the Penningtones was on guitar as well, since the band's regular 2nd guitar player didn't show up. I know Hugh from Cellophane Square & know him to be a big Neil fan.
Scott approaches the microphone & his first words out of his mouth are: "Tonight's the night..." It was a damn fine performance. I was very surprised & happy that I saw this version.
Standing there waiting for the second song & the chords sounded familiar to me. Oh, no, can it be? Yes, it was! A splendid version of Albuquerque! Anyway, it didn't stop there. Here's a complete set list -- a good job of choosing songs, I might add...
Tonight's The NightWow, the band played their hearts out. It was an excellent performance. The people who stuck around were treated to a very special, one of a kind show. I'm so glad I decided to go. I wish you & Lisa could have been there. The set lasted 65 minutes. I still can't believe the choice songs they selected!

Had the pleasure of seeing Trey from Phish Monday night in Ann Arbor. He did a 45 minute solo acoustic set. Played a bunch of new tunes that were really good and some Phish tunes. He also made a couple of comments about the internet and how fast people find info out. Guess he's been hanging with Neil.
After the intermission he played a 2+ hour electric set with a bassist
and a drummer. Included in the set was Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown.
They really played this well, with the bassist singing along the way Neil would
with Danny. It's such a great song - Neil and Trey could do a dynamite
version of this together. Show ended with a long cover of Hendrix's Voodoo
Child. See him if you can.

During the show she said that she was going on tour with Tom Petty and then the Allman Bros. She said something like "Tom Petty and the Allman Brothers -- it doesn't get any better than that. 'Cept maybe Neil Young!"

Trey Anastasio of Phish was at the Neil show in Chicago last night. Only a few people recognized him.

SonicNet is running a feature article on Neil focusing on this "new" songs. The best part is the that CSNY have reportedly recorded Looking Forward. As much as I love it solo, its one of the few new tracks that could sound awesome with some sweet harmonies.
The article loses a bit of credibility by calling Razor Love

Hello there! So does anybody remember my exciting Neil Young evening in Tel-Aviv a few months ago? So, yeah! there's a second one!
The band from the kibutz will do Neil covers again, and they have added a second guitarist and a bassist, so that should be nice :)
Uri will give a lecture yet again (and will correct that 'Neil-is-an-ex-junkie' comment from last time -- He claimed he didn't exactly say that, but I said that he implied it, and he admitted that yes, so the phrasing shall be changed).
Official videos like last time, plus (hehehehe) unofficial videos supplied by ME!
Anyhow, I'm really excited. Should anybody be in the neigbourhood: it's on
the 24th (next Wednesday) at 22:30, Bein Zionay America (that means,
I guess, "Zionists of America House"), Daniel Parish 3, Tel-Aviv.

Subject: Neil In Rolling Stone Twice
In addition to the Wiltern review I posted last night, from the new Rolling Stone, I didn't notice then that they also have an article entitled The 150 Essential Recordings of the 90's. Ragged Glory is one of them. Here's what they say:
Neil Young and Crazy HorseRick 'proto-rustie'
Ragged Glory Reprise, September 1990To kick-start the Nineties, Neil Young reunited with Crazy Horse, cranked the amps and, as a songwriter, took a look back to see if anything was still standing. There's some blood on the tracks (Love to Burn, Fuckin' Up). But Days That Used to Be and Mansion on the Hill revisit the era of peace, love and granola with a sentimentality that Young rarely permits himself. The long guitar solos are this album's real story, however. They're ragged and glorious, indeed, and they turn this look back into a look ahead: The guitar barrage of grunge is right around the corner.
Hi Rusties, the Rolling Stone that came to my door has a review of the Wiltern March 23 show, the show I attended. Coincidence? I think not! But anyway, they loved the show. Here's a few quotes:

Subject: Frank Black compared to Neil
In today´s issue of Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet, there is a favorable review of Frank Black and the Catholics´s new album Pistolero. I'll translate a part of the review:
"Let me be a guitar riff. Especially the one at the beginning of I Love Your Brain. It is dirty, rusty(!), tearing, and restless(!) enough to be Neil Young -- who has delivered a few such gems himself."Benny
After getting a Mr.Soul cover at the Widespread Panic show last Saturday night in Huntsville - I thought that would be it for Neil covers at the rest of the shows I'll be at this spring.
Well, Monday night at the Orlando House of Blues I got a double surprise...
I got Walk On and Last Dance !!!! The first time I've seen 2 Neil songs at a Panic show. I also thought it was cool the way that they played the Panic song Walkin' into Neil's Walk On during the first set, and Last Dance appeared during the second set.

Subject: My Thoughts on Archives/DVD
Of course Elliot's "In October" could just be an update of the old "In July" buzz-phrase -- but it actually does make sense. First the CSNY album comes out in July (there's that expression again :-) followed by their Tour. Then after the album has had its chance to sell for a while, later in the tour while CSNY are still "in the news", the first set of the Archives could be released. This would benefit both the tour and the Archives.
That is, later CSNY Tour dates would get the benefit of those "Meanwhile, Neil continues to tour with CSNY..." mentions in the publicity around the Archives. And the Archives would get the "Also, Neil has just released the first installment of...." mentions in the publicity around the tour stops.
The timing would be about right, to get the Christmas boost, and to not interfear with CSNY album sales. It also fits with the push-off to 2000 of the next Neil album (can't have TOO much new product out there all at once!)
Left out in the cold is the Buffalo Springfield Box Set. Supposedly that's been ready to go to manufacturing for a while now. But if you think about it, it's only been recently that the three BS albums have been remastered (with HDCD technology). Indications have been that the BS box was merely going to hold the same 3 CDs with an additional "Live & Rarities" CD thrown in. Selling a package like that this year would probably irritate a lot of folks who have recently bought the re-issues. By waiting until next year after the CSNY album, the Archives & the new Neil album, (maybe until Xmas 2000), that factor would be reduced.
This all seems to fit. We'll see how it develops....

For a few days I've been spreading Neil's music here in Belgium and it is finally starting to work!!! In the past whenever I'd say I like Neil Young, I'd get a 'Neil...who?' reaction. I wondered if I was the only fan in this rainy country...
I was told that it was was up to me to spread Neils music around Belgium. "You will be a hero. Once they hear Neil you know what will happen. So turn it up."
So I've played non-stop Neil music for three days and it really paid of. Last (Sunday) night I was watching a programme on Belgian National Television (VRT, Choît Naturel, for you Belgian & Dutch Rusties). I couldn't believe my ears when (at the end of the programme) I heard a famous Belgian singer (P.P. Michiels from Soulsister, for you Belgian & Dutch Rusties) sing Harvest Moon...!
Conclusion: I'll keep on playing Neil's music and soon everybody will be rockin' in Belgium. Neil will get his own statue in Brussels...

At the Meet & Greet after the St.Louis show, I walk up to Elliot and another guy:
Me: "Neil mentioned On The Beach tonight. When will it and the other albums not yet on CD be coming out?"No mention of CDs. Might have just been the context of the conversation or maybe they're not doing them on CD. Hard to say for sure. But my gut feel walking away was that it was DVD only. Just a gut feel, but that's kind of how I read what they were saying and how they were saying it. And that's what Neil said on stage during the show.Elliot: "In October, we're doing them on DVD."
Other guy: "Yeah, the sound quality is awesome. It's true 24-bit [blah blah blah]."
Me: "Is Neil going to be happy with it, given how he feels about digital in general?"
Other guy: "Yeah, it's really clean. You don't get any of the [technical weaknesses, clip, chip, chop, blah blah blah] that you get with CD"
Me: "October, then, huh?"
Elliot: "Yeah, October"
Me: "Thanks"
The Nashville show was filmed last night by a single Hi8 video camera. The camera was sitting on pillow next to a monitor on the stage. Pretty inconspicuous.
I spoke to LA Johnson, Neil's film producer guy, after the show and he said they were filming the next half dozen shows or so. I asked him about what might become of it? Will they blow it up to 35mm like YOTH? No. They're going to put it out on HiDef vid with a low-fi soundtrack. Kind of a reverse YOTH. A Muddy Track #2.
As usual who knows?
LA said they're still working on the video box archive set. Muddy Track will be in it. (Oh great, now that we've all got decent copies.) He said it will be released by Rhino. So when, LA? Someday. After the audio box? Probably. It depends on Neil.
Quite enlightening....

Just recovering from an absolutely mind-blowing performance by Zero 3/10 at the Maritime Hall in SF.
This was a very emotional show as Chip Roland, the keyboard player, is leaving Zero. This may (?) have been the last Zero show. The music was *stellar* - the band was in THE ZONE for most of the show. In the second set, Chip picked up a guitar and did a solo acoustic version of My My Hey Hey. A quite credible and respectful version - the crowd loved it.
