Hi
just a question about the forthcoming Archives Bluray format....
I've read weeks ago that you have the contact with Archives Guy directly.
The problem is: a friend of mine pre-ordered the Bluray version on Amazon
but they responded that the Bluray will be out in Region 1 and not Free...could you ask to Archives Guy
the real format and codes of this release??? We live in Europe. We'd like to know if
there are chances to "see" the Archives here in Italy and Europe....at the Amazon.com you'll see that they're indicating region 1.
The Blu-Ray is region code free. That's what the Archives-Guy said.
in reply to SF's region code question-
Yes, the BD edition is region-free.
-Archives Guy
Thanks for everyone's patience on the debut of the new Archives website and an official announcement of the release date of Vol 1 on BD, DVD, CD and Digital Download.
In a rare turn of events, we took some time off over the Holiday's are just now getting back behind the wheel.
Please standby...and thanks again for your support.

See ya down the road...

Hi Archives Guy....While We're patiently awaiting the Website Splash and enjoying "Fork", could you give us any hints about the PLANNED BD-Downloads? ie: how many unreleased songs, unreleased versions, unreleased mixes, etc?
Thanks! LRR
I for one am glad to hear the Team took some time off...man oh man we have learned first hand how busy things really are thanks to Archives Guy...
Hope everybody had a great Vacation. Now back to the regularly scheduled anticipation lol
LIVE RUST
Oy....
"and an official announcement of the release date of Vol 1 on BD, DVD, CD and Digital Download."
OK, so I take it we can forget about that release date on Amazon since we're now waiting for "an official
release date"?
Signed - "waiting so long.." in SF
Damn!!! I was hoping they'd come out in February because I'm sick of the endless delays.
The Kid in the Archives video is it Neil Young?
Hilarious yet sad. He's been promising this thing since 1988. I seriously doubt he'll ever let it out. Pathetic psychodrama....the guy obviously enjoys stringing along his fans. There was a time that Neil didn't have a bigger fan than me. But let's face it, he has an abusive personality. He's beyond self-involved. Nothing could be good enough to justify this kind of build-up.
Compare to the humility and quiet dignity of Bob Dylan. He would never grandstand or clown his fans the way Neil does.
Note to karate-chop yoda, Dylan screwed loyal fans with his latest 3cd Bootleg Vol.3 costing an extra $100 for what amounted to one extra cd. All the rock-gods are tempted by the greedy hand
Paul B
This is frustrating!
I don't know if I'm the first person to say this but when Neil was gonna put this out a couple of years back before Blu-ray came along and messed everything up, he was going to have it as a 8-CD, 2DVD set with a 200 page or thereabouts booklet. Now he's put it to different formats - Blu-ray, DVD & CD. The thing is the CD version now no longer has the booklet and the two DVD's (one I presume contains Journey Through The Past which I've been looking forward to seeing). Please don't tell me we're going to have to fork out more cash to get the DVD or Blu-ray (if that's possible) just to get this missing stuff? I'm from Europe by the way.
From,
A very disappointed Neil Young fan
god, i´m so fuckin´ tired of the archives, really. how can somebody stick to this for so long..? bring it on or leave it for good, mr. neil, i´m really tired of it.

"I been Waiting for you.....
And you've been coming to me...
FOR SUCH A LONG TIME NOW !!!!!
For those of us from Aus ... JBHIFI has the DVD version of the set up for preorder now- see the following link :
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/Product/431126/ARCHIVES_(10_Audio_DVD_Set)
Is $323.99 AUD plus postage - hate to see what the bluray version would be , but seems like you would have to o be specially imported anyway. I bought off neils site, so with preview disc and single I think it will be a fair bit cheaper and better value to get from his site anyway.
Anyone from Aus got their preview disc yet, and how long from date your order was confirmed before you received it ??
Cheers,
Mick
Mick,
I got my preview disc on 12 May. I ordered a while back so I am not sure how long it takes. I remember the receipt had a link to check the progress of your order. (Definitely worth the wait as the remainder will be).
'Best
Percy
i had a dream last night....no kidding.....that archives was delayed by a week.......just to make us suffer.....no kidding....a dream.......wtf.
rss
Thanks Percy, have found the link you are referring to. It was in the first email I received back from warners after submitting order, but it wasnt in their subsequent emails to me. Status is "shipped" for the preview disc.Ordered on the 12th May, so cant be too far away !!
Cheers,
Mick
It's coming. I just know it.

I just received an email saying my order won't ship until 6/30/09. What happened to 6/2?
AG
Please confirm if release date put back until 30 June?
Thanks
Percy
The word now is that if you ordered individual disks rather than the entire box (like me), they will ship 6/30/09. If you sprung for the entire enchilada, you'll get it 6/02 (lucky dogs!).
Hey AG, I'm having a problem with the preview Blu-Ray Disc 0. The BD-Live kicked in and I downloaded the basement version of "I Wonder" and it appeared in the timeline etc no problem. I played it several times without issue.
However I went into it today and the blue-pin is now NOT appearing on the timeline but I can see on my PS3 that the file (72Mb in size) is still there.
When I go to the downloads page on the timeline, it says that my PS3 doesn't have an internet connection which is nonsense 'cause I can browse the web with it.
I deleted the file via the PS3 GUI in the vain hope that the file my download again but nada, and I'm still getting a msg that it can't connect to the internet.
What gives?

What happened to the MP3 links on the side?
Regarding MP3 on right, see the Amazon widget.
Hello,
Please,HELP ME !!I live in Italy and I'm looking forward to buy Neil's Archives BLU-RAY but I have a question for you:
If I buy Archives In USA or Amazon can I play it on my Sony PS3 and my TV??..We here use PAL system and in USA I know they use NSTC sytem.
Hope in your reply.
Thank you
Guido
ciao guido ti rispondo direttamente in italiano.
allora, la ps3 legge tutti i formati. i blueray sono in regione 0 (internazionale) quindi non ci sono problemi per l'interazione ps3-disco.
(anche se potevano evitare la bazza delle regioni almeno per i blueray, vabè)
il problema sta nell'interazione ps3-televisione.
semplicemente la tv dev'essere abbastanza recente da leggere il formato americano. quindi ok per tutti gli schermi digitali in lcd, mentre per i tubi catodici dipende... io per esempio avevo una piccola tv LG acquistata 4 o 5 anni fa che supporta l'ntsc, mentre ne ho una di 10 anni che non lo supporta. capisci che non supporta il formato perchè vedi l'immagine in bianco e nero, e anche disturbata o tagliata.
per tagliare la testa al toro io ho comprato un megaschermo lcd così si leggono bene anche le scritte.
spero di esserti stato utile. ciao!
altroche' sei stato gentilissimo e utile.
Grazie
:-))

Auch aus Germany grosse Anerkennung für das Archive. Bin überrascht von der Fülle des Materials. Habe mich noch lange nicht durchgearbeitet. Für mich als NY Fan ein grosses Ereignis.
About BD-live. The timeline in NYA Vol. 1 only goes to about 1973. Does that mean that BD-live downloads from the time period after that (i.e. the one contained in NYA Vol. 2) do not show up on the timeline of the discs in NYA Vol. 1? And what bout the timeline in NYA Vol. 2, will that contain the BD-live downloads of Vol. 1?
Has anyone else noticed on Neils Living with War website he has a few videos catagorized under archives 3 an 4?

Hey Neil Young's album "Le Noise" is an instant classic. So it's great that NY is active with that. To the powers that be, can we get a new BD live download soon? I think it's been almost a year since the last one. I don' expect a new one each week, but I think almost a year is pushing it.
bd live??
come on !
I knew the bd updates were bullshit from the get-go. We got a couple of moderately interesting tracks and then Neil pullled a "neil" and went on to something else.
Predictions for Volume 2? Anyone?
How 'bout this:
First track: Don't Be Denied (Nov. 19,1972 - solo acoustic)
Last track: Hey, Hey, My My (May 28, 1978 - with Devo)
(Though I'll go with The Boarding House video as the last disc, so technically the last track is from that show.)
If you think that's not a long enough period for volume 2? By the middle of 1972(end of vol 1) Neil had about 134 known songs written, many of which were early and never recorded. By the end of 1978, he had an additional 108 known songs.
1978 also marks an important transition in Neil's life. Marriage, the birth of Ben. The recording with Devo forshadows much of what would happen to Neil musically in the next Volume.
