New Neil Young Archives release: Roxy 1973

The Roxy performances should be Special Release Series #2. I hope this is true.

 

The tour was also in 73..... Roxy shows in Sept.

It's really sad that people have nothing better to do with their time than come up with this crap. Take that time and do something productive...

 

Is this from Neil’s obtuse glam/Eno phase, or was he already doing his velvet jacket crooner thing?

 

god, thrasher's wheat (and the nutjob that runs the site) is the WORST.

 

Ugh. Fell for it. !!!

 

Maybe a gort can change the title in FAKE NEWS.

 

I don't mean to say "I told you so...."

Ah, who am I kidding. I LOVE to say "I told you so"!!!!

 

My thoughts exactly. Can't wait for this one.

 

If this got released for real this year, we would get:

Roxy Music's debut album deluxe edition.
Frank Zappa complete live run at the Roxy, 1973.
Neil Young live at the Roxy, 1973.

In a way, it's the Roxy year

 

Springsteen's camp might release his Roxy '78 show to round it up.

 

Yep if you go to neilyoungarchives.com there is a note on the main page saying "NYA News Update Timeline 1973" - so this must be how they are going to keep us updated on the archives.

 

More likely it will be Performance Series #4. Or if we still believe in Time Fades Away II, it could be Performance Series #5. Roxy is a true multi-track recording and this will be great. The first night was filmed by Briggs, but the film was lost. Some lucky bugger probably has it in a basement somewhere. Hope that finally turns up.

 

So, is this release still happening?

 

According to the note in the archives, it's "Now in production"

 

This.

Neil knows how to get my $$$.

 

I'd be happier if it was 4.5.

 

Neil Young Highlights 1973 Show, Rare Movies in New Archival Releases

 

Not sure if this has been covered somewhere before but in the latest NYA Times-Contrarian Neil talks about his thoughts on vinyl record production (analog masters etc., etc.) and there is an interesting picture. There are 4 records on display, one with Roxy on the label (the other labels are covered up by the other records). So, is this going to be a 4 LP set? Or is it just the 4th in the series?

 

Or just both sides of a 2LP release. The Roxy shows were only 60-70 min.

 

Or those other three records don't mean jack diddly and are just there to make the figure look better!
