I can't afford to keep up with neil on vinyl anymore. At this point I will jump in for special stuff like neil jam live, or a live set from the Silver and Gold tour maybe Crazy Horse at Warfield if that were to come out, but as magic as neil is, I am definitely at saturation for NY Vinyl

It's a lot. I'm 100% in for Unplugged, Mirror Ball and Ragged Glory though.

Oh yeah Unplugged is a definite, I am lucky to have got an OP Mirrorball when it came out so I am not in a rush to add another to the collection...Ragged Glory Deluxe, well yeah that too...damn neil and his late stage money grab!
I agree, there are not any artists off the top of my head that can create the atmosphere he does in a live setting...Damien Rice is one person that I have seen accomplish similar feats, although his music is not as varied. Tom Waits live is also magic in an otherworldly way, but I get your point, nobody consistently delivers the live magic like Neil.

I didnt bother with Live on 2 Legs because I'm saving for Neil's upcoming releases. Its hard to keep justifying it but I'm absolutely in on Toast, this PoTR live album and also the Ragged Glory reissue. Assuming there'll be a Weld reissue as well and that's another must-purchase for me.

I was at the Berlin show of that tour and it was awesome! Enjoyed that more than his Crazy Horse tours in 2013 and 2014. I remember the goosebumps when he did Danger Bird. Never thought I'd hear that one...

Only a few days later Neil postet on his website "Berlin could be a live album", so he must have liked it, too:)
I was at Berlin and Dresden the day or two before. I dug them both. And had a nice spread of songs.
Dresden:
Mansion on the Hill Powderfinger Love to Burn Alabama Words (Between the Lines of Age) Bad Fog of Loneliness The Needle and the Damage Done Comes a Time Human Highway Lotta Love Walk On Winterlong Fuckin' Up Cortez the Killer Cinnamon Girl Rockin' in the Free World Powderfinger Roll Another Number (For the Road) Piece of Crap Like a Hurricane

Also a nice one. Well, it seems we get some tracks from both shows on this new album...
Now that most of the OBS are dropping, look at this list and what we know is supposed to drop this summer, that’s not off base.
Maybe things are delayed by 7 months? ORS 4 came out mid April (7 months), Toast early July (7 months), noise and flowers is done and produced right now (7 months)
that would put Harvest 50th in September. Hopefully those Early 22 LPs are pushed to early 23 with ORS5 soon after.
This seems to be what is happening. -ish. Probably more production specific for how these releases are landing in the marketplace. But this list seems to be on track still.
Neil Confirmed Ragged Glory 2 is coming later this year still (vinyl and everything). So we have Harvest 50, The new record and Ragged Glory/Smell The Horse confirmed for this year. Maybe we'll see ORS5 too (because he also confirmed it will have the original RG)?
Maybe Archives 3 to kick off 23? I'm betting the PJ Dublin album will be timed around ORS 6 to make a big push for those 90s LPs and the era.
If they did a bundle, they would sell a lot of copies to PJ fans. But I'm sure they are aware of that.
Honestly, I expect a much bigger push for that reissue/live record compared to most of the other archival releases because of how dedicated and huge the PJ fanbase is. Like, Neil keeps pumping stuff out and outside of a news release, an Uncut/Mojo piece, and 1-2 singles, other than reviews, the archive stuff doesn't really land outside the fanbase's attention. Mirrorball has some bigger reach. Would be cool to see some sort of larger promotion. Maybe even a late night set or a one off concert (if Neil feels like performing again).
maybe there will be some edition with mirrorball and the Dublin show.
Neil has said that Mirrorball Live would be a vinyl/CD/blu ray box set like Return To Greendale, Noise & Flowers etc, but he hasn’t mentioned a bundle. The original plan for Young Shakespeare was for it to be part of After The Gold Rush 50 but that didn’t happen.

Really liking Toast on first listen. Pretty heavy lyrics, very wistful and self-reflective at times. Some lovely guitar jams in there as well. Will take a few more listens to fully absorb.

I wrote a longer mini review in the just-received on vinyl thread, but essentially 4 1/2 out of five for me. Leave off "Boom", make it one LP, and I'm in Crazy Horse Heaven!

I’m really enjoying Toast. I’m only listening on NYA at the moment because shipping to AUS takes a while. I can’t wait for the vinyl to get here.
If you think about when it was recorded, Toast actually completes a really cool NYCH 90s/00s trilogy:
Sleeps With Angels (94) Broken Arrow (96) Toast (01)
I think these 3 sound pretty good together. You could include Greendale (03), but it has a different vibe to it.
As it stands, we’re due to have 4 NYCH records in the space of just 3 years:
Colorado (Oct 19) Barn (Dec 21) Toast (July 22) New record (late 22)
Throw in Return To Greendale (Nov 20) and Way Down In The Rust Bucket (Feb 21) and it’s been a pretty great few years for The Horse!

How come Neil produces magic live in a way no other artist can? It's so fucking weird.
There are no kings inside the gates of eden
Neil Young is the one artist creating pure magic
There are no kings inside the gates of eden

But that should be an UHD obviouslyyyyyyy.
