  • Just bought tickets for both Seattle shows today. There are amazing tickets available, even with on sale starting days ago. I bought row G in the center sections of the floor for each gig.

    Just came across this on YouTube, footage of Neil in the studio composing the Dead Man Soundtrack:

    Neil really is a genius!

    I love that he was watching a rough cut of the movie and just played what he felt. Such a spontaneous and haunting soundtrack

    Yeah, didn't he watch the movie and recorded a soundtrack twice, and that was it?

    Picked up a pristine used copy of Decade at my local shop today. $10. Shockingly it’s the first Uncle Neil album in my vinyl collection. Can’t wait to spin it tonight.

    One of the big surprises of the NYCH tour of Australia/New Zealand in 2013 was that they broke out Opera Star at 4 of the shows. I think it had only been played once since the late 80s before that tour.
    We got it as the final encore in Sydney, and it was completely unexpected.

    That's a great place to start.  Now my biased advice would be to start with the first one (self-titled) and then go for...
