    Just found out Jonathan Demme (who passed today) shot Neil Young playing with Crazy Horse in 1996 on 35mm film with the guy who shot Silence of the Lambs and Sixth Sense etc. Would love to see that.

    It was called "The Complex Sessions", and it was 4 songs from the Sleeps With Angels record. It was only released on VHS, I've got a copy in a storage box somewhere. The audio tracks were included on a bootleg called "TV EP and Best of The Unreleased" (which includes a fantastic version of Interstate, by the way)



    It's never come out on DVD but the videos are all on YouTube:

    I have the VHS of "Complex Sessions" and watched it a LOT when I had the sound from my VHS player run through my stereo set up. I need to get the DVD so I can watch this yet again that way (my DVD player is set up through the stereo). Unfortunately, "Weld" is not available on DVD nor, for that matter, Lou Reed's live version of "New York". I wish more of these things would be released on DVD!

    Edit: I'm not seeing Complex Sessions out there anywhere on DVD. Bummer!

    There's always hope for an Archives release. Journey Through The Past, Rust Never Sleeps, Human Highway have been rereleased recently so fingers crossed for Weld and The Complex Sessions - and Trunk Show while we're at it!

    I laid down all the songs in a row, pausing only for weed, beer, or coke. Briggs was in the control room, mixing live on his favorite console.  - sounds good - hope he has another tour in him.

    The Diverse Vinyl site has a track listing for Hitchhiker. It remains to be seen how accurate this is (there's been a lot of speculation) but, either way this could be a real classic.

    SIDE 1 
    1. Pocahontas 
    2. PowderFinger 
    3. Captain Kennedy 
    4. Hawaii 
    5. Give Me Strength 
    SIDE 2 
    1. Ride My Llama 
    2. Hitchhiker / Like An Inca V1 
    3. Campaigner 
    4. Human Highway 
    5. The Old Country Waltz

    Thanks goldrush! LOL, yeah one of these days I'll add that to my other 36 Neil LP's, which for completists is a relatively small Neil vinyl collection! Nice RSD additions to yours, by the way! Edit: I should file this one under the "You know you're getting old when..." thread. I had already replied to your comment a while back Goldrush! I had scrambled brains for breakfast this morning along with my coffee, waffles and blueberries. :lol:
    Ha ha, no worries Brian! I'm pretty pleased with the 2 new additions. Decade has the tri-gatefold layout (with record 2's sleeve inside record 1's), and 2 cool Henry Diltz photographs. A Letter Home has 2 LPs, 7x clear vinyl 7"s, the CD and a DVD, as well as a really cool book. I've also got one more 'replacement' on the way that I'm very excited about. I'll post a pic when it gets here...
    So, the replacement that I was excited about actually turned out to be two replacements...





    Two awesome albums that I'm VERY happy to have in my collection again :)

    Thanks Brian. Yeah these 2 were pretty hard to find, I'm really happy to have them again.

    The first time I heard the Weld version of Hey Hey, My My on vinyl I thought there was something wrong with the needle! I mean, it sounds like Neil is murdering Old Black! It's just a filthy sound.

    I believe all of Neil's vinyl is being reissued, as the 4lp box sets and as individual albums - he did say Archives would be 5 boxes, reaching the 2000s albums (although that was years ago now!)

    Harvest Moon would probably be in the 6th or 7th box set (depending on what he does with the 80s Geffen stuff)

    Here's a new rumour/update on the possible Hitch hiker release.
    Neil Young will release a new studio album—which he originally recorded in 1976. The disc, dubbed Hitchhiker, is set for an August 4 release via Reprise Records and will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally.

    The 10-track acoustic album was recorded live in the studio August 11, 1976, at Indigo Studios in Malibu, California. It contains some of Young’s best-loved songs plus two previously unreleased tracks.

    The original session was produced by Young’s longtime studio collaborator David Brings with new post production by John Hanlon, who has worked with Young since 1990 and produced his most recent works, including Peace Trail, Earth, The Monsanto Years, etc.

    As these songs were recorded in a single session, the resultant performances are breathtaking and passionate. The simplicity of a single voice and guitar captured here are as pure and powerful as the creator intended with only Young and Briggs in the room at the time of recording.

    Many of the songs would not appear on vinyl until years later. The title track, for example, did not officially appear until 2010’s Le Noise and naturally sounds worlds apart from the original. The version herein of “Captain Kennedy” has certain raw spontaneity compared to the slightly gentler version that would eventually surface on Hawks & Doves in 1980.

    Perhaps the most noticeable jewels in the crown of Hitchhiker are the two previously unreleased tracks that have remained in the vaults since 1976: “Hawaii” a soaring ballad and unlike anything else Young had recorded at the time. Side one closes out with “Give Me Strength,” which would be occasionally performed live in the mid-Seventies but now available here for the first time and may well be considered one of Young’s best long lost gems.

    Hitchhiker Track Listing:
    1. Pocahontas
    2. Powderfinger
    3. Captain Kennedy
    4. Hawaii
    5. Give Me Strength
    6. Ride My Llama
    7. Hitchhiker
    8. Campaigner
    9. Human Highway
    10. The Old Country Waltz
    There's plenty of time for Neil to "do a Neil" and change his mind about releasing this - or it just could be fake news! - but I really want to hear this record

    The title track from Hitchhiker is streaming on a few websites now. It sounds great, classic mid-70s acoustic Neil, more of a raw feel than the Le Noise version
