in The Porch
I posted about this in the Official Neil Young Thread, but I figured it was worth a mention on The Porch as well.

Neil and his Archives team have been regularly answering questions from fans on the 'Letters To The Editor' page of his NYA Times-Contrarian newspaper. Someone asked if there was any video available from the Mirrorball era...

"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"



The Hearse Theater is part of Neil's Archives site that screens concert videos and occasionally live streams shows (there's an awesome new solo version of 'Ohio' on there right now). The Archives site is free for now, but once the subscriptions launch the Hearse Theater will only be accessible to paying members. No word yet about whether or not any of the Hearse stuff will be released to purchase or download, but it's good to know they are working on the Mirrorball era.

    At long last. Something from this show. Was supposed to be released as a live album at the time.

    What does "formatting" mean?

    Neilism for getting it ready for digital streaming, probably has a bit of getting 16mm film into a proper digital format that he is comfortable with too.  The  man is particular to a fault.  
    His eminence has yet to show.

    There is a great audience bootleg of this show.  So, interested to see how much of the footage they actually drop

    Was it shot on 16?

    Any chance a vinyl release of this show will be released also? Or a Bluray release? Or are we talking proarbly just a streamed version on his site?

    I wouldn't count on much more than streaming.

    I would think there’s a better chance of getting a CD/vinyl release from this tour than a blu ray. Nothing that has been streamed in the Hearse Theater has been made available to buy yet, so it looks like video will just be streaming for now.

    The live Archives vinyl releases have been from random years so far, and some have been tour compilations or incomplete shows, so we may get the Dublin show one day or a mixed-show compilation release.

    On the other hand, Neil could go off on another tangent and we may not see it for years!

    Neil generally had his people shoot in 16, I am just hazarding a guess, I have no definitive evidence on this particular show.
