Fantastic.  Neil voice sound great here as does that fine old Gretsch Falcon!  And the message still rings loud and clear.  Right on, Neil.

Always very moving.

I just added this book to my Neil Young Book collection, Neil Young FAQ, by Glen Boyd.  It's chock full of interesting articles about Neil and loads of details about releases etc., and it has a very cool Forward written by Thrasher, the wonderful whom ever who oversees the ThrasherWheat.org site.  Very cool book!

Trawling through some of the responses to questions on the 'Letters To The Editor' page of the Contrarian, you can find the following info:

• 'Alchemy' will be a triple vinyl set, possibly released next year
• The takes have been chosen for 'Boarding House', along with the videos that go with them
• The vinyl lacquers are being checked for 'Odeon Budokan', and it could be coming soon
• 'Are You Passionate' is "a sleeper. We are looking at it, and deciding what to do"
• "Interstate and Don't Spook The Horse belong with 'Ragged Glory' and we are remastering that one" J Hanlon will be remastering it and has "found all of the original analogue masters"
• Somebody asked about videos of the Mirrorball tour - "The Mirrorball songs are all part of a film from Dublin that has never been seen. We are formatting that now and it will probably appear in the Hearse Theater"
• There is something "in production" from The Ducks shows
• They have film of the complete Greendale concert and it is slated for review. As is Acoustic Greendale.
• TOAST is complete, except for the videos

I think Are You Passionate got unfairly panned by some critics- there's some great stuff on that album.

Remastered Ragged Glory?  I would LOVE that on a double vinyl album!  The original LP which I bought when it came out is too long for one LP, not long enough for two and thus the grooves are very thin and the sound, for an album with so much potential kick, is too weak.  With the added songs, remastering and (likely) two records, this could be KILLER! 

Mirror Ball film.  OH YEAH!

There are also posts that say “we are coming to the UK next summer,” and “I love Italy”.
Also “plans are being made” for Canada.

GREAT NEWS !

Spiritual_Chaos

OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOD.

Spiritual_Chaos

Gonna force my dad to go. Even though he has been concert-bitter/concert-shy for like 15 years. Wouldn't even go when Patti Smith played here. And he didn't go when Neil Young played here in 2016 at dalhalla. But gonna give him a ticket, and travel wherever Neil might play.

Dalhalla - pretty cool place for concerts

Yes!!

Zuma saved rock 'n roll for me.  By the early 70's, the great music that had been made up to and maybe through 1970 or '71 had pretty much run it's course and was morphing into music that I won't call "bad", but for me was mostly BORING.  That's when I got into jazz a lot more and pretty much only listened to older rock.  But then in around 1975, while I was working with troubled teens in a detention-like class at a middle school and we played music for a while on Fridays, this one kid brought his copy of Zuma and we put it on the classroom record player and I was blown right out of my teacher's seat.  That kid knew what was up!

A long time favorite for me too!
