damn thrasher, when it rains it pours eh? what a great time to be a neil young fan, the hits just keep comin'.
Not available in Canada. Booo.
Eric in Ottawa
... or in Holland. Booo indeed.
Nor in Sweden... bleh
Not available in Finland...
nor in UK..
Save you all some trouble and tell you it's just available in the US.
Although I'm sure one of those youtube-to-mp3 or video things would work, if you were inclined to go that route.
Just copy and paste the youtube link on this site
http://www.youtubeunblocker.org
and you will be able to watch the video wherever you are. It works for me in France :.)
Sorry folks on the block.
Maybe the folks can open up to Int'l fans??
This sounds really great. Unusually for Neil, I actually prefer this version to the versions I've heard from the live sets so far.
Ramada Inn on the other hand - the version from Austin City Limits annihilated the album version. I sure hope they make a live album out of this one.
Lemme see what can be done about that.
It looks like the outlet that has an exclusive on this video today is only making it available in the USA.
Tomorrow it will be posted on the Shakey Pictures YouTube Channel.

Thanks Archives Guy! Nice to see you.
Wonder what will drop next???
Thanks, Anonymous!
That youtubeunblocker site worked for me here in Canada too.
The song sounds great. I love that shot of Roy Orbison too.
Is that Neil's old bus that burned up?
https://proxtube.com/install.php
THAT WAS NEILS OLD BUS BUILT IN SAUSALITO CALIF IN 1973 IT IS A 1970 BELIGUM BUILT SILVER EAGLE MODEL 05
AND FURTHERMORE IT APPEARS THAT VIDEO WAS SHOT INTHE LATE SEVENTIES BY THE LOOKS OF THE DODGE PICK UP WITH THE TABBACO INDIANS IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK THE BUS WAS LATER PAINTED BLACK HE CALLED THE BUS POCAHANTAS I HAD THE PICTURES OF THE BUS WHILE IT WAS BEING BUILT AND GAVE THEM TO NEIL ALONG WITH A SCALE MODEL THAT I BUILT USING THOSE PHOTOS HE AND PEGI WERE BLOWN AWAY I CANT TELL IF THAT IS THE LATE GREAT JOE MC KENNA HIS DRIVER FOR MANY YEARS I KNOW ALOT ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW SILVER HE RIDES IN TODAY IF ANYONE CARES
Yes Rudy, we care. inside voices...
Sorry that this is a little off-topic - can't find an appropriate spot. Is the 'For the Love of Man' track on the album the old 'I Wonder Why?' unreleased track? If so - is it a new version?
...Hello Archives Guy, nice to see you're up and around these days. Must be a bit hectic at the ranch, eh? Thanks for the upcoming connection tomorrow here in Canada. Just picked up a fresh copy of 'Journeys' to watch tonite...the autumn of '12 is turning out to be a wonderful harvest of Neil fruit, wouldn't ya say?!!
Billie in Calgary,
PS...had the unending pleasure to watch NY & CH's set at ACL on YT yesterday and now can't wait even more for Nov. 13 here in Calgary. A big thanks to Neil, Elliot and the gang for comin' back here. We luv ya man, we just luv ya!!!
Hey Rudy, thanks for the info. Never knew those Silver Eagles were built in Belgium. But what do you mean with this: "THAT WAS NEILS OLD BUS BUILT IN SAUSALITO CALIF IN 1973 IT IS A 1970 BELIGUM BUILT SILVER EAGLE MODEL 05" Built in Belgium and rebuilt in Sausalito? Or did it have an American engine?
for those viewers outside of the USA who could not watch the exclusive showing of Twisted Road yesterday, the video is now available for you at the Shakey Pictures YouTube channel:

"let the good times roll"
-Archives Guy
Quite an average song for Neil...not very impressed with this one...sounds like a throw-away to me that should have been left off of the album...plus the descending riff is pretty much 'The Weight' by The Band anyway...
Thanks AG!
Post updated and should be now avail for all Int'l viewers.
Thanks! Archives Guy. After all those solo acoustic versions of Twisted Road I completely forgot that the Horse is involved. Very nice song and great video!
"let the good times roll"
funny, Lesh with a beard looks as out of place as Jer without one. :)
BACK ON THE BUS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION YES SILVER EAGLES WERE BUILT IN BELGIUM TIL 1974 THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE SENT THERE FROM THE U S A THEY USED A DETROIT 6V92 DIESEL AND AN ALLISON TRANS IN MOST CASES THE BUS WAS CUSTOM BUILT IN SAUSALITO CALIF AND COMPLETED IN 1975 IN THE VIDEO THE TWO CARS MOUNTED TO THE TOP WERE A HUDSON HORNET AND A STUDEBAKER NEIL LOVED THAT BUS AND SO DID I THANKS FOR ASKING RUDY

Don't know if reading WHP caused this or my memory from the clip from 'Going back', but my guess is this is the bus on it's way to a bonfire where Neil burned a couple of Wooden Indians (beats me why on earth he did that) and he filmed it too, while making the 'Human Highway' movie.
So while it is Neil at the drivers wheel could it be Dean Stockwell with glasses next to him?
Hey Rudy, if you want to share stories, pics etc... I'm all ears. dean_af@hotmail.com.
Video works in Canada. and... It's awesome!!! I miss Jerry Garcia/the dead so much! So many greats gone, love and respect the ones we have left while we still can. Good music is a dying art.
Fun song, fun video. I'm digging every aspect of the PP album so far.
@peter d. - good call on Stockwell, looks to be about the right size and appearance. And could that be Dennis Hopper on the left? Hair color/facial shape seem pretty close.
so i know this is an old post but i would love to swap pictures and information of the old model 05 silver eagle of neils. ive been looking all over for info on it. My grandfather actually did all the work to the outside of the bus. he added the car tops the teak wings, and the teak top deck along with many of the other modifications. i have originals of the bus alo ngwith blueprints. contact me at julianhiggin@gmail.com, id love to swap info
Dude, please share! I would love to hear or see anything you have. There is an old bus near me that I would love to get. Check it out.
