    Damn, this is huge. Suger Mountain comes from these shows. They were 3 months before the Riverboat shows. I bet these versions of Neil's Springfield songs will be amazing. I can't an acoustic Expecting to Fly. I wonder if any of these were played on piano?

    I was hoping for a picture of The Canterbury House.

    It's strange that the picture is from the Springfield era. Hmm. :confused:It seems suspicious.

    This picture is from the same session as the one that's used for the cover of disc 3 in the box set:

    Well, 1968 was the Springfield era.

    I know that. I would think that there are plenty of 1968 Neil photos post Springfield to use.

    Agree. But, this one has already been bumped at least once. The original release date was September 23, 2008.

    I don't think Neil played the piano on stage until his late 1970 solo tour. That's when so many of his early seventies piano ballads started to pour out. He played "Expecting To Fly" on piano at Carnegie Hall in 12/70 and it's really a great performance. Those were important shows to him. If he doesn't have recordings he should issue the audience recording, although I think it WAS recorded. Those shows represent the consolidation of Neil Young as a solo artist of stature, distinct from any band connections. He played almost every song he'd written as if to "own" them. He scolded the audience for making noise and requesting songs.

    I'd be surprised if there WERE a lot of pictures of Neil in 1968. Of the top of my head I can't think of ANY. Certainly there are some, but Neil wasn't really on the map at the time. He finished Buffalo Springfield in May then shortly thereafter started to record his first album. Springfield wasn't a big act, and they ended with a whisper. Apparently, when Reprise sent promo copies of the album to radio stations they misspelled his name as "Neal". He wasn't exactly a top priority.

    Imagine a time when the crowd didn't burst into applause at the opening notes. This Sugar Mountain was first the flipside of the "distorto" single version of Cinnamon Girl. Absolute classic single. Delightful to have this show finally come home to roost.

    Looks like it says 'Disc 00' of the performance series on the sleeve.

    My new theory is that all the Archives material will trickle out as individual CDs between now and the year 2076. At which point I'll be 109 years old!

    Which is good, because I'll no longer care if the recordings are too loud or compressed.

    Fell free to distract yourselves with the CSNY DVD that came out recently.

    I couldn't really afford the Archives anyways, I will take this instead.

    I'm extremely excited about this release. Massey Hall and Fillmore were top and I'm positive this will be more of the same. By the time Archives comes out, I'll likely have everything I want from it on cd anyway! Keep 'em coming, Neil! :thumbsup:

    How many of us will be disappointed if the Archives are ONLY these periodic releases? Not me. Just as long as he starts putting the demos and unreleased songs.

    While we all wait for the Archives, it seems that Neil is trying to save the world by creating an effort called Lincvolt, a car that runs on electricity only, totally clean, and no need for fuel whatsoever. If Neil Young, of all people, is actually somehow successful in spearheading a technology that major automakers someday adopt, our irritation about the delay of the Archives will be trivial at best.

    I'd be more than happy to just get one or two of these type releases a year. :D

    And, if like Bob's Bootleg Series, there were an occasional batch of studio outtakes, rare tracks etc... all the more better... :righton:

    Much more so than this Achives Blue Ray Debacle... :shake:

    :cheers:

    Can't wait to get this new one (and Massey Hall on vinyl...) :winkgrin:

    Who knows, if he continues to push his archive each year *and* give us a performance series release here and there, we won't be needing the big boxset :)

    I wonder if this is availible in BluRay? I don't know about you all, but I would prefer several seperate releases rather than a massive 10 disc multiset that runs $300+

    Thanks for the link. But more confusion? It reads: "Sugar Mountain WON'T be part of the long-awaited Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972), a 10-disc Blu-ray and DVD set expected early in 2009."

    If true,then Sugar Mountain won't be in the first Archives set despite falling into the right period, yet Live At The Filmore and Massey Hall are included?

    Maybe I'm just a simpleton, but I don't want to buy any more of the individual releases and then buy them again when/if the boxset comes out. I'm not impatient for the boxset's release but a little information about potential duplicate buys wouldn't go amiss...:sigh:
