    I'll be ther too.

    I didn't try for tickets for the Philly show, so i'm glad this Borgata show was added. Plus, the Borgata is a BETTER venue then the Center.

    Still available. Great print
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Thom Yorke on Neil Young - Interview - January 27th 2008
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdm-VC_z8FI

    This interview was conducted by Mark Cooper, Creative Head at BBC Music Entertainment, on january 27th 2008 at the BBC TV Centre in London. Sections from this interview were supposed to be used in "Don't Be Denied", a documentary on Neil Young. In the end, the footage went complete unused, and only 2 brief excerpts were posted on the BBC website. Mark Cooper has kindly agreed to make the unedited footage available for [the] Radiohead fansite (citizeninsane.eu).

    The strange thing is that the lyric booklet is the same size as the one in the cd, it kinda gets lost in this size packaging. Also, both versions of Psychedelic Pill are listed as 'Alternate Mix'

    Looking forward to the Borgata show, tickets were actually reasonable for a change with Neil. But judging from all the reviews on this tour; sounds like he might be one of the only older acts that is worth it.

    Trey is also playing there tonight 8-) .
    What a great night. Thinking they'll BOTH be on the stage at some point during the evening 8-) .
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)

    I bought this album about ten or 15 years ago and had no idea that this was Neil Young's first band. I only found out after watching the interview with Patti Smith where he mentioned being in The Squires. All this time I had a classic record by Neil Young's first band and didn't realize it. I should learn to read the sleeve notes on records more carefully.

    Squires+Front+CD+SZ.jpg

    From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Squires_%28band%29


    The Squires from Bristol, Connecticut were an American garage band in the 1960s.

    They released just one single, which failed to be even a regional hit, but which is now regarded as a classic of its era. One critic wrote: "The yearning lyrics and melody, vibrant jangling guitars and brisk propulsive beat all combine to make The Squires' 'Going All the Way' a transcendent rock n roll record. That the song wasn't a huge hit and isn't heard daily on today’s 'oldies' or 'classic rock' radio stations is shameful - but when it comes right down to it, it doesn't matter. The fact that 'Going All the Way' is little more than a secret, known only to a few thousand fanatics, only adds to its greatness. Success can be measured in terms other than units sold, and with "Going All the Way" The Squires succeeded in ways that much wealthier musicians failed.

    I hate to bring you down but that's not The Squires that Neil was part of. They're from Connecticut, Neil's Squires were Canadian. He was in this one

    Ah, I wondered why 'Going All The Way' wasn't included in his Archives.

    Thanks for setting me straight. :oops:

    They played this last might live in philly. Sounded real good. They were joined onstage by Jason Lytle of the band Grandaddy who were opening up for Band Of Horses earlier that night at the Electric Factory down the road. :)

    Has anyone read this? I was considering purchasing.

    I read 'Shakey' but found it kind of dry and long for no reason.
