    I agree, he should have included CD copies too.
    No no no

    But he should/could have released it when the Harvest re-issue was. So people doesn't have to buy the album a second, to third, to fourth time.

    Nice!  Love seeing Nils play some slide!
    This is interesting to me also because I notice Neil not using a pick.  In fact, I'm thinking he may have stopped using a guitar pick altogether.  I'm starting to have a hard time holding on to picks.  Les Paul developed similar issues, even to the point of gluing sandpaper to his picks.  I was thinking about trying that myself... but maybe Neil has the right idea.  Just do without?

    I think I saw Doyle from misfits chewing gum and sticking it on his fingers a few years ago. Makes sense now. Also the stage was littered with dropped picks, which I was happy to help clean up ;)

    I have had enough of early 70's Neil with all the great releases.  I'm burned out.   I would like to see some 99 solo tour stuff, Alchemy, Mirror Ball film or more late 60s CH releases A Neil Young with Booker T + the MGs would also be great, The Garfield crazy horse shows etc.  When it comes to Harvest, I feel like the field has been overworked.   There is so much more than 70-76 Neil, but a majority of the archive and bootleg releases have been from here

    Listened to Jason Newstedt talking to Bill Burr on Burrs podcast. And he talked about Rock Werchter 1993 and how Neil Young (and Booker T + MGs) played before Metallica but should have played after them because he blew them off the stage. Without any pyro.

    An official 1993 tour release would be nice. The Stockholm bootleg sounds great. Pearl Jam on Rockin' in the Free World. Would be lovely to have something official.

    I love it that there's a lot about Nils here (one of my favorites) and great to hear mentions on Poncho. 
    My wife saw me reading this article and said, "Order that record.  That's what I'm getting your for Christmas."
    "OK!"  :smiley:

    Neil Young has not performed live since September 2019, and it now seems that might have been his fans' last chance to catch the Canadian icon in concert.

    Last year, Young told Rolling Stone that he was holding off on touring behind his latest Crazy Horse album at the time, Barn, because of ongoing COVID-19 concerns, telling the magazine, "I don't want to put people in danger. I don't want people to see me out there and think I think everything is okay. I don't think everything is okay."


    And while the pandemic is still causing concern and complications among touring musicians, Young has added a more definitive reason why he may never hit the road again. 

    In a new interview with Q's Tom Power, promoting another new Crazy Horse album, World Record, Young explains that his environmental views, especially when it comes to eating sustainably, are something he refuses to compromise on, and which can be difficult to uphold when touring from city to city.

    "When I look at the compromise that I would have to make to do that, the things that I don't believe in, that I'd have to endorse, it doesn't turn me on," Young tells Power. "I can deal with the power for the venue, I can make it clean. I can make the P.A. clean, the lights clean, the electricity in the building clean. I can clean up all my vehicles. I've got the right fuel. I can do all of that. But the food — all those places are fed by factory farms."

    Young is referring to the industrial method of raising farmed animals, which has been criticized by environmental advocates as an intensive form of agriculture that prioritizes maximizing profits over the treatment of its livestock in addition to generating as much greenhouse gas emissions as "all cars, trucks and automobiles combined," as Greenpeace states.

    Young has been speaking out against factory farming for years, and in 1985 he helped establish the annual Farm Aid concerts, which raise money for family farmers in the U.S. One of Young's last performances was at the 2019 edition of Farm Aid.


    "I can't support it," Young continues, noting that most venues' foods are sourced from caterers who use factory-farmed foods. He notes that it can be difficult coming into venues, demanding "good food that has to be clean food, sustainably grown, and presented in a sustainable way." 

    Ultimately, Young states: "Fuel is half of it, and food is the other half."

    When Power asks Young if that means he's no longer touring, Young replies, "Unless the venues are clean, and that they work that way, I won't be there."

    "I've seen too much," he continues, "I can't do it. I believe in what I believe, and it's grounded in science. I know what's going on in the planet, what caused it, what we're continuing to do, and I cannot support buildings, organizations and companies that will not change that. If they change it, then I can consider going."

    never saw him solo, but saw him with CSNY, so I guess that's something. 
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

    It'll be a shame if he doesn't tour again, but there would be a time it would have to stop anyway. I've been lucky to see Neil quite a few times over the years (with the Horse, and with PJ on the Mirrorball tour), but the dream would be a solo acoustic show.

    I also have been lucky to have seen him 4 times. Once with CSNY, and three times with Crazy Horse. Last time I saw him live was 2007. It would be great to see him at least one more time.

    Why couldn’t he do a long residency and we’ll come to him? I’ve only ever seen him solo and would love to see him with a band. I missed him with POTR in 2016 because I was in Raleigh to see PJ🤬
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
