    We not talking about OBS 02-05 going up for pre-order this week with a 4/1 release date (I know, I know).


    Sorry for possibly a stupid question, but what is this release?

    Original Bootleg Series. The Carnegie Hall release from a few months back is the first of the series.

    For further context, there are old bootlegs that Neil swiped the art or sometimes the recordings of (most are replaced with his own tapes) and reissued proper.

    These were supposed to be out late last summer, but got pushed because of pressing plant backlogs, and then eventually got split up because of delays. These are the rest of wave 1 (maybe, only looks like #3,4 and 5).

    Not optimistic on any of those other than OBS 3,4,5. Which I feel like should have been announced by now.

    I sat down to immerse myself fully in an album this evening as I usually do.  I wasn't sure what to play today, it seems like a very heavy day, a heavy weight hanging over the world.  I decided to listen to Le Noise.  It was the perfect record for the day.  Beautiful, devastating, and real.  Parts of it left me in tears and thinking, thinking about everything going down, the feelings reflected in the songs.  It was the right record for this day, for sure.

    You're 100% right Brian, sometimes Le Noise is the perfect album for those kind of days.

    Did you hear 'You Never Call'? It was written for Le Noise, but never made it onto the record (because... Neil).
    It's a beautifully haunting song Neil wrote for LA Johnson after he passed away

    No, I've never heard that.  It definitely has that Le Noise vibe. Beautiful, thanks!

    Le Noise is a fantastic record. I really don't think it gets the credit it deserves. A late career classic, for sure!

    Le Noise needs a reissue.  It is expensive.

    Where are the concerts on this NYA app? I feel so dumb that I can't find them.

    My wife had to work late last night, so I decided to make it a NY night. I listened to Decade and then Mirror Ball.

    Well said, Edved, it truly is.  It's an intense album that deserves, almost requires one's full attention while listening.  Because there is so much depth to it, whenever I return to it I feel like I experience it at least a bit differently each time- last night in particular as the music and lyrics seemed like such an intense reflection of the world around us today.  Le Noise is truly a Neil Young stand-out and major work.

    After listening to it last night, I was reminiscing about how when it first came out on vinyl I was put off by the price- somewhere between $25 and $30.  By the time I got over it, the price had soared and I was really bummed that I had been so tight.  Over the next several years, I watched for a copy with a more affordably price and totally lucked out on a NM copy on eBay.  I think it was around $40.  I'm not seeing any under $150 right now.  That's just crazy. 
    You are so right- this needs a re-issue and a re-discovery.   I think a lot of fans were a bit put off by the strange production but I also think if they gave it time it would all come together and make sense.  I wouldn't change a single thing about it.

    After the NY show on the Le Noise tour I overheard some cranky guy "don't like all these political songs".

    About Neil Young

    Still cracks me up.
