A new Neil Young solo concert from Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Il on June 30, 2018 is now streaming on Neil Young Archives.
TIMELINE - CHICAGO 2018An acoustic performance for my friends in Chicago at the old Auditorium Theater comes with good vibe. That is such a beautiful place. I played there a long time ago with CSNY and played Tonight’s the Night there with the Santa Monica Flyers on another memorable tour. That was a long time ago.
This is a loose show with a good vibe. Enjoy it now at NYA on the Timeline. Lots of love!

We had the honor and privilege to be in Chicago 2018 both nights -- one of which we were front row, center as you can see in the top photo.
When Neil is performing solo inches away, you literally hold your breath for 2 hours. And then you exhale a great sigh of joy and happiness.
So it is a true joy to hear this concert in all of its pristine soundboard glory. Thank you NYA!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet and is more new NYA content:
Subscriber News page post on 22/07 about a "making of " series of videos, starting with a 23 minute piece called "Boom Boom Boom" (How Ya Doin?) from Toast.
The implication in the piece is that this series will only be available on NYA and not posted on Youtube or other sites.
Also I got a Patron NY zoom call alert for today - anyone else see it? 10.00am Pacific Time, which I make 6pm here in the UK.
Tony "Hambone" in the UK
@ Hambone : I got the patron zoom notification for 11:00am my time today. Unfortunately I’m at work, but I’m hoping my wife can record it for me.
Peace 🙏
@ Hambone - thaks for noting. Keep us posted here on what you hear, as well.
@ Dan - shall we say Welcome Back really LOUD?!
To say we missed you terribly would be an understatement. Brother Alan has posted that he had been in touch with you. Hopefully what ever kept you away has been resolved.
Your calming presence has been missed greatly here @ TW especially as these various Neil conundrums have fired up.
Maybe that's why you went on hiatus?! Understand completely if so. Things have been rather grueling of late on NY News desk.
Regardless, we've tried to keep our head and not forget what our good book said ...
peace
Thanks Thrasher, I never actually left, I just took a break from commenting. Things just got out of hand at that moment in time, and I wasn’t interested in engaging all the hateful comments. But I’m still checking in every single day. As for Toast…. I can’t really add to what others have already posted, so next up is Noise & Flowers…. Stay calm, and know that all will be revealed….. eventually.
Peace 🙏
Logged in and waiting for that patrons meeting. See you there...
Patrons Meeting snippet: There is no release date for the new album. As far as I understood it likely will be containing 11 songs. One of these songs was created before Barn and "forgotten", another one after Barn when Neil was in Canada, but long before the other "eight or nine songs". The latter ones were created in a new mode during daily (winter) walks in a short span of time in April of this year (Suggested album title: Walks?).
Hi Everybody,
Just got off the Patron call and wanted to share with you all (its good to share). Neil looked great and was in good form. Sound was poor at times but so nice to see the great man answer any old question that was put to him by moderator Bonnie, then John O and a few others in the NYA team:
⁃ He played the new album for Warners on the roof of the building. Said is was very cool. No release date yet from WB for the record.
⁃ Big announcement coming sometime soon that NYA is turning a profit for the first time!
⁃ Working on a series of behind the scenes stuff about the new record and Toast. Episode 1 of the Toast story is done (around 21 mins long) and they are going to work on the next episode today after the call. 4-5 episodes planned on Toast.
⁃ Best thing for Neil are the letters and the people of NYA. He loves obscure details he has forgotten about and then they go look for them and find cool things they didn’t know they had. Acoustic Ordinary People is an example and getting ready to drop that soon (along with 7/8 other things in the “ready bin” of the Surf Shack with Nico)
⁃ Greendale is based on Half Moon Bay California.
⁃ Going Home on Toast - Neil did not actually visit any historical places. All made up. Its pictures. Not autobiographical.
⁃ How has songwriting changed since you've not been touring for a while? Neil really liked this one: “Good question!”. Stark difference in making this new record. New style (apart from two songs - one written before Barn as the pandemic hit / another after Barn but before the others in Canada - both conventionally written). The other 8 / 9 written while walking every day in winter in snow for 2-3 miles and would whistle and noticed that he was whistling new songs. All had rhythm of walking. Recorded on phone. Then did lyrics over full moon in April this year. No corrections to the lyrics! Most cases the first couple of takes were the masters. Unique approach as the choice of instruments wide open because the songs were not written on a specific instrument.
⁃ Archives 3 - Believes there will be some Bluenotes material but not sure. Something with Devo will be included.
⁃ Gateway of Love. Knows it’s a special song. Horse is great. Singing is really good. Instrumentation is really good.
⁃ Electric Tour Bus. Decided not to do that. Biodiesel instead.
⁃ Nico says hello as the “Quietest of the Volume Dealers”. Says Atmos is a lot of fun if you have the way to play it. More separation between instruments.
⁃ Asked about differences between large stadiums and theatres. The same for him. What matters is if he is singing the song from his heart and it is working for him. No preference.
.... continued.....
⁃ Johnny’s island is in Archives III. 7 tracks never been heard before, some songs as well maybe never heard before. Not chronological. Album order.
⁃ Might be more live Stars and Bars but not found anything that is interested in yet.
⁃ Will not be another Greendale. But was one of his favourite projects.
⁃ Answered my question about where he was doing the call from! He was in his agent Frank Gironda’s office. Behind him were a lot of records that he mention to the call: Batman Forever / Bob Dylan / Tracey Chapman / Spiritualized. All Frank Gironda albums.
⁃ Animated Version of Trans is in Volume III.
⁃ Johnny’s Island and Island in the Sun are different albums but a few songs are the same. Island in the Sun recorded after Trans (but had thought before?) and made in Hawaii. Johnny and Love Hotel are two songs on the album and there are some other unknown songs.
⁃ Talks to the difference of digital and analogue. All vinyl has a source code so that you can tell where it came from.
⁃ John O’Neil asks some questions: 1) Anymore fireside sessions? 2) If no touring, what about a live show? Neil says that if he feels like doing more than doing what he’s doing right now then will do. If he is in the right place he will do it. If there is a reason to do it and feels like doing it. Not trying to recreate the live experience.
⁃ Neil says that Joni’s set was fantastic. The essence of music. Nuances of the melodies. Did a big favour for the muse and music in general. Neil spoke to Joni yesterday to congratulate and tell her how touched and moved he was!
⁃ We will get a full Ducks live set. Vol III has a section of the Ducks with the songs he wrote. The Ducks bootleg will be a complete performance.
⁃ Lot of Joel B pictures in the Harvest 50th book and there is a 2h movie about Harvest to go with it.
⁃ Loves playing the pump organ. No answer to what is his favourite new instrument.
Please feel free to correct me!

@ Greying Rider - Many thanks to for updates! Lots of nuggets to digest in coming days, weeks, months, ...
Welcome back, Dan! Hope you’ll keep popping up, from time to time at least. Sorry things got a little heavy, though I don’t recall details—maybe I was tuned out myself around that time? I’ve always tried to find the right balance of saying what I think while remaining civil. Not necessarily easy.
Thanks Ian. You have never said anything that would cause me to question your character, or your integrity. It was just several intense and negative posts at the time that I simply didn’t wish to engage with. One can’t reason with unreasonable individuals, so it was important for me to take a break. The vast majority of people who post here are incredibly important voices that add such quality to the conversation, which you are definitely one. I will post again when I have something of value to add.
Peace 🙏
@ Dan : I am happy to see you posting on TW again. We have a good little community here in the TW Neil Young blog. Like you, I never miss a post. I enjoy the conversations and info shared. We look forward to the summit in Boise when Neil returns, perhaps with Promise of the Real again.
@ Greying Rider : Thanks for compiling and sharing this info. It is most exciting to hear!
@ Thrasher : Healing up here on the blog. Our feelings are like fingertips on guitar strings. They hurt, get calloused, heal. Maybe a little tougher the next go round. Thanks for running the blog, Brother. You make a place where all of this happen. Good vibes, sometimes not. Much appreciated.
-Your Brother Alan in Seattle
