    Picked up a few more replacement Neil records to fill in some gaps in my collection:

    I've always liked Trans, it's a very misunderstood record. Everybody's Rockin is a harmless bit of fun, but I fully accept that Landing On Water is pretty awful! :)

    Trans is cool! A few cuts don't hold up so well but mostly great and the really good stuff is terrific!

    Unbelievably, I still don't have the Shocking Pinks LP. 36 Neil albums but no Shocking Pink!

    Recently repurchased Landing on Water because I had to hear "Hippie Dream" again!
    Hey Brian, welcome back!
    But what do you mean you don't have Kinda Fonda Wanda on vinyl? Shame on you! =)
    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...

    I got After The Gold Rush on RSD today for $11.99. Hawks and Doves is the only one I had on vinyl before.

    How come you have Hawks and Doves (out of all the NY albums released)? :)

    Possible new Archives release?

    This photo was posted on Gary Burden's website a few days ago, but has been taken down now.



    Hitchhiker is one of the unreleased acoustic records from the mid-70s, and a Gary Burden collaborates on a lot of Neil's artwork...

    Who would be responsible for a Mirrorball reissue?

    I would think Neil still has the word on that.

    I wonder what a reissue would go for? Looks like used, near mints start at around $35 to $40, US. If pressed on 2 LP's like the original, probably at least that much.

    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!

    Neil was on stage at Willie Nelson's birthday at Stagecoach on Saturday. There's a video of him playing harmonica towards the bottom of this article:

    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.
