UNCOVERED: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young @ Fillmore East, 1969

A new CSNY concert recording discovery from the vaults has been announced on Neil Young Archives.

According to NYA, Neil Young  is working on a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young double live album consisting of eight-track analog recorded at the Fillmore East in 1969.

The concert is apparently from September 20 since he mentions Graham Nash's song "Our House" being a track performed solo as a new addition to their setlist. (thanks Dionys!)

Neil Young writes:

“The acoustic set was soulfully sung and played, full of great songs and then unknown gems. Staggering harmonies. Happiness,” he writes. “The electric set quickly moved to a new space.

Now, we have the tapes, and they sound so real,” he shares. “We’re staying all analog throughout the production with a goal of creating a live double vinyl album. Pure. Analog. No digital.”

From a comment by Jim:

If you are thinking, Four Way Street from 1970, think again because this is the earlier 1969 run at the Fillmore East when Neil had just joined them! It was a month after Woodstock during their first tour. This series of shows for fans of Neil Young had Mr. Soul, Broken Arrow, Sea Of Madness and I've Loved Her So Long plus Stills' Bluebird Revisited from the Springfield days and they also did Wooden Ships and Get Together.

Wonder if this is like the difference between the 1968 and 1969 appearances by Neil Young at the 200 seat Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan? The energy/set list/vibe from 1969 was very different from the 1968 shows. Both have their unique charms but only the three sets from 1969 have Country Girl!

OK, more to look forward to in 2024 in addition to the Crazy Horse tour, NYA Vol. III box and whatever else is in the ever flowing NYA pipeline.

Review: Particle Kid (Micah Nelson), @ Barboza, Seattle, WA - 4/4/24

The show was was fantastic. Micah played rhythm guitar all night while the other guitarist played lead. The band is made up of top musicians. The bass player is very talented and energetic. Micah sings well and manages to deliver sounds with this band that are unique and effective. He runs the gamut from grunge to psychedelic, folk Rock to acid jazz, and then some! 

 

 

 

The multimedia projected Art / video was tremendously Artistic. He makes all of the posters for the bands. My friends & I met up with Micah and the Bass player after the small crowd thinned out. Nice guys, no ego, pleasant and friendly. As we talked, I praised his performance & told him I was headed to San Diego to see him with Neil & the Horse soon. Micah has talent and power that will fit right in with the band on Neil's tour. He plays just rhythm, so this is perfect. 

 

 

 

They did a song last night in which they seemed to be tipping the hat to Neil's Cortez the Killer. It felt like the real thing. Get ready to be impressed by Particle Kid front man Micah Nelson. He is the real thing, and I have no doubt the band will take flight! 

 

Particle Kid bandleader Micah Nelson is an amazingly talented guitarist, singer, & multimedia Artist! Don’t miss Particle Kid on tour! They are unique in sound, not just a “psychedelic Grunge meets folk rainbow jams, acid jazz meets punk, Rock meets experimental.” a great band with tons of soul & talent!
