    Besides Neil, I hope Billy, Ralph, and Micah are doing OK. Anybody heard anything lately?

    As you can see, there's a lot of material in this box. The problem for me is that so much of it is already available on other albums (Neil did say he'd try to limit that...), and there's a lot of the 80s stuff I know I'll only listen to once or twice before it gathers dust on the shelf.

    Wow, yes, a lot more than just the 80's years stuff.  I agree, there's just too much here and definitely too many dust collectors for me as well.

    If all of this is on the NYA to stream, I’ll work my way through it. I’m sure there’ll be a few gems, but that’s a lot.

    If you didn’t get the last ORS box, the individual albums are being released separately in October.

    This is worth getting for ‘Interstate’ alone, but it also sounds great spread out into 3 discs.

    This reissue, remastered, expanded Ragged Glory is an absolute "must have" for me and very likely and big Neil Young fan.  It completely opens up the sound of what has always been one of Young's best records anyway.  This first time I heard this improved three LP version, I was simply floored.  All the songs were totally familiar and etched in my brain, but it was as if someone had cleaned the dead bugs and grease from the windows, changed the oil, boosted to octane, pulled everything up out of the mud, and sent me on my merry way down that ragged, glorious road.  A+ with extra credit added!

    Neil is hosting another NYA Zoom call right now. I asked him if there was any update on the Mirror Ball Live box set, but his answer on the date was pretty vague…

    I also asked if there were any plans to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Mirror Ball next year… Neil said “Probably! Put that on the list Frank!”

    He said he was calling it ‘Scenery’ now, as that is his favourite song from that era, and they also had some cool stuff from Israel (the 8th show of the tour). Presumably that will be in the Archives IV box. He loved playing with Pearl Jam, “what a great band,” calling out the rhythm section of Jeff and Jack first, then Mike, Stone and Ed.

    Other news:

    Archives Volume IV covers 1988 to 2002 - all “first time takes”

    ‘Alchemy’ will be in Archives Volume V

    Live shows are being planned with Micah, and Corey and Anthony from POTR, playing a few East Coast shows after Farm Aid. Small outdoor venues or indoor theatres.

    The last tour dates were cancelled because Neil “listened to his body” and couldn’t do it. He is feeling better, but “not all members of Crazy Horse are back yet”

    Bridge School show videos on NYA - the next one is ready to go, just one thing that Neil needs to approve first.

    That’s GE Smith (Hall & Oates, Dylan, SNL etc) and Andrew Watt on guitars, Ivan Funkboy Bodley on bass, Charlotte Lawrence singing and Chad Smith (RHCP) on the drums.

    A few days before Ohana. That’s a bit annoying. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Did you ever hear anything more about someone in Crazy Horse being ill?  I hope they are all doing OK!

    Neil mentioned on the Zoom call that there was a point on the tour when his body told him to stop. He couldn’t do it anymore and he had to listen to his body. He said something along the lines of “not all of the Horse are back yet, but they will be, God willing”. He didn’t say who else was affected, or what the illness was.

    Thanks.  I guess "no news is good news".  At least I hope so!
