- 71 outtakes/demos
- 30 timeline concerts
- 3,000+ viewable assets (covers, photos, memorabilia, etc.)

"NYA has been at the intersection of art, business and community for the last five years. It has been a dance like no other."

No other site has even come close to besting NYA, and as a Patron it’s the best bang for your buck.
ReplyDeletePeace 🙏
NYA IS a tremendous accomplishment. I am so glad it’s not going by the wayside like Pono. Neil hit a home run!
ReplyDelete30 live shows on NYA?! That is quite a number. I would have guessed half that. I need to go and look for live shows I have not listened to yet. Rust Bucket may be tops for me, but hearing them all is worthwhile, as any big Neil Young fan can tell you.
Dan, the patron access sounds good, just as long as you save some dough to hit the local show in Boise, Idaho! I took a vow to never miss Neil at Outlaw field, and I will keep that vow.

brothers, maybe this is the summer for beers on TW @ NY+CH?!

If and when Neil visits Outlaw Field, I will definitely find a way to make it happen. The years are gaining on all of us, and we need to embrace those moments that matter most. And Neil Young ‘live’ is certainly one of those for sure.
ReplyDeleteNYA has become the official venue for everything Neil Young, and what a bounty it has become. The availability of his output is astonishing in its diversity, and quality. NYA has evolved in ways that only a very short time ago would have been unthinkable, yet here we are with unprecedented access to a musical archive that defines epic. I never thought in my wildest dreams that anything like this would ever be possible. I will never take it for granted.
Fingers crossed for a sustainable tour in the near future. 🤞
Peace 🙏
@ Thrasher & Dan : Awaiting word of Neil CH tour news, should the stars align… Indeed we will meet up in Boise and throw back a pint, one at a time anyway! All together now! 😂
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that NYCH returns to same place last Idaho show was at, an outdoor venue with stands and a grassy sloping field. The place is picturesque, & the site of a former penitentiary, part of which is still standing. This is also the site of the Boise Botanical Gardens, same location as concert venue, if we are so lucky! Outlaw field would be a perfect meetup, perhaps a Rusty TW summit of sorts! NY-CH with Micah! He is great. I have seen him with PotR / NY 4x, and he has mad skills.
It would be so cool to meet up, after all the Pandemic stuff and the drought of live music! Thrasher, you were not wrong: Live music IS the best. Another go round is what we are after! And what a time it would be. Maybe Neil & Band will help us cross the rainbow bridge! It could happen!

In regards to throwing back a pint, that could mean root beer or ginger beer. But yes T, we will toast the fates, yes please!
