As we noted last month, the Telluride, CO Council held a discussion around a Major Festival Event with Neil Young in Telluride Town Park between August 14, 2023 and August 20, 2023.

Unfortunately, the Telluride concert application was withdrawn by Neil Young's management/SBG Productions, Inc yesterday. (sadly, but thanks PML!)

PRE-ORDERS: NEIL YOUNG OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 - Release Date: 14th Jul 2023


 NEIL YOUNG OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 Pre-order 
(Please shop locally & independently. But if you can't, we appreciate your supporting Thrasher's Wheat by clicking this link)

 

Neil Young's OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 - with an expected release on 14th Jul 2023 - will be a remastered 9 LP boxset and 6 CD boxset.

 
ORS #22, 23+, 24 & 25



ORS #5 is a collection of four albums:

  • 'FREEDOM' (1989), 
  • 'RAGGED GLORY' (1990), 
  • 'WELD' (1991) 
  • 'ARC' (1991)

 
'FREEDOM' (1989), 'RAGGED GLORY' (1990), 'WELD' (1991) &
'ARC' (1991)

In addition on 'RAGGED GLORY', the 10-song original album is expanded for this reissue with 4 rare tracks, known as the “Smell The Horse” Edition. “Interstate” and “Don’t Spook The Horse” were both B-sides to singles. “Box Car” and the 12 minute “Born To Run” are both previously unreleased versions.

"Boxcar" originally appeared on "Chrome Dreams II" in 2007 while  "Born To Run" was on the archive album "Dume" as a "Zuma" outtake from 1975.  

You can now listen to “Don’t Spook The Horse” from Ragged GlorySmell The Horse” Edition on neilyoungarchives.com
 

Back in 2018, Neil Young announced that a new, extended Ragged Glory edition will be titled ‘smell the horse,’ with four added tracks.


Subsequently, we learned that Ragged Glory II, will be a double album, released as a stand alone LP in vinyl, CD and High resolution digital.

"We are presenting this in all analog for the first time, remastered from original analog 2 tracks under the loving care of John Hanlon. John has wanted to do this for years and now it’s here, coming in triple vinyl and remastered for CD and Hi Res from the original analog mixes. This will most definitely be the greatest version of this record ever made."

Neil Young "Checking" On Missing ‘Rainbow' Raps

 ‘Rainbow' Raps 
LTE | T-C | Neil Young Archives 
(Click photo to enlarge)
 
 

Our letter to NYA on the missing ‘Rainbow' Raps was published last week on LTE | T-C | Neil Young Archives.

Neil responded with a somewhat standard answer/non-answer that "we'll check".  Actually, in an earlier reply on subject,  it seemed that Neil had previously checked and found that "It should be no problem".

 

A LTE earlier this year in April on Neil Young Archives by Omar/ Lone Red Rider echoed our post asking Where Are The Raps on Neil Young's ‘Somewhere Under The Rainbow” Offical Bootleg?
 
 Under The Rainbow* - Nov 3*, 1973
Neil Young's Original Bootleg Series Release #6 
(NOTE: unreversed original image flipped)
 

As background, Neil Young's Original Bootleg Series released ‘Somewhere Under The Rainbow” featuring the Santa Monica Flyers, recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre in London on Nov. 5, 1973.

But as a TW comment by Tomatron asked, where are the legendary between song raps that made the  Tonight’s The Night tour so unforgettable -- or forgettable, depending - for so many?
 
As with Neil Young's Official Bootleg Series  Citizen Kane Jr. Blues -- when streamed on NYA -- the stream contains the full concert recording, including the between song raps, such as the semi-essential "Honeyslide Recipe" rap.



Link to full, unedited concert of
Citizen Kane Jr. Blues by Neil Young
(See Rustie Pro Tip on Navigating Neil Young Archives)


The raps are not on the vinyl or CD releases themselves but only available on NYA.  (See Rustie Pro Tip on Navigating Neil Young Archives.)

The matter is not inconsequential for rustie grains , who consider the dark and liquid Tonight's The Night concerts with Neil's rambling tales to be as core to the experience as Jose Cuervo tequila. (See Dutch Translation of Liner Notes for Neil Young's Tonight's the Night album.

So thank you LRR! Long may you ride!

SATURDAY - Neil Young Day: The Broadway Barking, London on 3 June

Neil Young Day: 
The Broadway Barking, London - Saturday 3 June 
 (Click photo to enlarge)
 
 
Neil Young Day 
Saturday 3 June 10am – 10pm 
The Broadway Barking, London

As announced earlier this year, Neil Young Day is this Saturday 3 June 2023.

This celebrates the recording in 1971 at the theatre which was then known as The Barking Assembly Hall, of two tracks on Young’s biggest selling album, Harvest

2022 marked the 50th anniversary of the release of Harvest. It was marked with new DVD/CD and DVD/Vinyl box sets which included a previously unseen documentary film of the making of the album. The Barking Assembly Hall can clearly be seen in footage recorded during Neil’s time working with the London Symphony Orchestra. 

The film, Harvest Time, has had a limited cinema release and we are delighted to be able to screen it as part of our Neil Young Day. The film is 125 minutes long and will be shown in the theatre’s main auditorium. Tickets £6. 

During the day, the Broadway’s first Record Fair will be held in the foyer spaces. Whether a record collector or a casual browser, everyone is welcome to come and dig in the crates for some rare vinyl or much-loved classics. Entry from 10am, entry fee £2.50. 

 
Billy Bragg

 

Making a very special guest appearance will be Barking’s very own Billy Bragg, who will unveil a plaque to mark Neil Young’s association with the venue. 

Acclaimed author and editor of the Rare Record Price Guide, Daryl Easlea will deliver a special edition of his popular Fast Forward talks: Fast Forward: A Complete History of Neil Young in Six Records. Always entertaining and very popular, Daryl’s talks such as those on Decca at the British Library and V&A, always sell out. Tickets £12. 

 Rust for Glory
 

To round off the day, the Neil Young tribute band, Rust for Glory make their first appearance in Barking. Playing Harvest in its entirety and then an array of other Neil Young classics, the band are the perfect full stop at the end of a day of music and reminiscence. Tickets £22

Ian Knowles, Creative Director of the Broadway said:

“To discover that such an iconic musician as Neil Young had recorded in our venue was absolutely amazing. To see the footage of him working with the orchestra and to recognize the interior of the building delighted us all. We hope that all Neil Young fans will want to visit to see the venue where tracks for Harvest were recorded to celebrate the album and the artist and enjoy a really fantastic line-up of events. "


 

Just added, Mercury Studios has made the documentary about the Rolling Stones mobile recording studio used to record the tracks for Harvest available for screening. 

Tickets are on sale now for Neil Young Day. Each event can be booked separately or a package of all events plus free entry to the Record Fair can be bought for £36.50. Go to www.thebroadwaybarking.com to purchase or call 0208 507 5607.

INTERVIEW: Rick Rosas on Buffalo Springfield and the East Los Angeles Music Scene

Neil Young, Chad Cromwell & Rick Rosas 
Bridge School Concert - 21 October 2006
  (Click photo to enlarge)
 

Here is an interview with Rick Rosas in ~2014 excerpted from UNO MUNDO (It Came From East Los Angeles) by Harvey Kubernik.

Many years before bass player Rick Rosas joined Neil Young, Rick was in the reformed Buffalo Springfield, and a tour with CSN&Y, Rosas reflects on the vibrant music birthed in East Los Angeles.


Rick Rosas: Back then, people didn’t look at a racial or geographical divide between East L.A. and West L.A. See, people didn’t look at your color back in those days. I remember being in Garfield High School, and [there were] maybe three or four black guys in the school, and you treated them like brothers. They were all very good friends of mine.

Eddie Davis and Billy Cardenas were very important. They would release stuff on their little private labels, like Rampart, and it would get picked up by a major label because it was making noise in L.A., not just East L.A. Then it became national, like Cannibal & the Headhunters’ “Land of a Thousand Dances.” Cannibal & the Headhunters and the Blendells were very good. They were mentors, also. We opened up a lot of shows for them, and they showed us the ropes. We listened to all the same radio stations. Even KHJ played our first single on GNP Crescendo.

And there was always Thee Midniters. The records did them justice. Little Willie G, oh man, he was an entertainer. I looked up to him very much. And the bass player, Jimmy Espinosa, I took lessons from him. He taught me how to read. Thee Midniters were big mentors to Mark & the Escorts at the time. Cannibal & the Headhunters and the Blendells were very good. They were mentors, also. We opened up a lot of shows for them and they showed us the ropes.

AM radio initially connected everyone together and then FM radio changed the world a lot back then. The sound was so much better. And, DJ’s like B Mitchel Reed would play the extra-long version of Buffalo Springfield’s “Bluebird.” It was like 18 minutes. Nobody would do that on the radio. “Where did Mitch get that?” That could only happen in L.A. I loved the Beach Boys. Even before Mark and I were invited into their “All Summer Long” recording session.

And when I heard the first Mothers of Invention album Freak Out! I then freaked out. Great. “Help I’m a Rock.” I had no idea until later that Zappa loved doo wop and worshipped East L.A. It didn’t dawn on me his link to East L.A. He had a song “St. Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast” on his solo LP Apostrophe (‘) although the spelling of the church is St Alphonsus Catholic Church. I went to with my parents. That hall had teen dances. I saw Thee Midniters and the Mixtures, another great band. Black and white. That was the first time I saw an electric bass on stage. “I gotta get a Fender bass.” I got one at Phillips Music Store in Boyle Heights on Brooklyn Avenue. I still have the bass, a ’64 Jazz bass. My mom bought it for me. I still have the receipt.

Buffalo Springfield had a big impact on me. From their first record they just caught my ear. I just loved the guitar playing and the singing. It was like the California Beatles. They were just so good. I heard “For What It’s Worth” the first time driving around in East L.A. We’d end up in Hollywood every once in a while, cruising the Sunset Strip. Past Pandora’s Box, where Stephen wrote about it.

I think at the beginning of Buffalo Springfield, Stephen Stills stuck out the most. His voice was recognizable. And then as it went on, Neil’s voice slowly slipped in. He didn’t sing much on the first album. And when he did sing, he was so unique. It wasn’t perfect but it was great. And Buffalo Springfield had Richie Furay.

And when Mark (Guerrero) and I noticed that their first album was recorded at Gold Star studios in Hollywood, we needed to record there as well. We were kids. I could not believe we were at Gold Star. It made a big impact on us. Anything they did we had to go and try and find it. Then, Buffalo Springfield Again came out and I had my mind blown. To this day, that whole album is amazing.

We went to the Springfield goodbye concert in Long Beach. It was pretty heavy. I was so young. It was really good. Some of the guitars were out of tune. Then they came out with Last Time Around. Definitely blew my mind. That thing holds up to this day. I love that album. “Pretty Girl Why.” “Uno Mundo.”

Then I heard the first Neil Young solo album. My favorite of his. I have worn out two or three copies on vinyl. Neil with Jack Nitzsche.

Then six months later, Neil and Crazy Horse, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. A whole other direction. Mark Guerrero and I went to The Troubadour all the time. Saw the debut of Neil and Crazy Horse. Fantastic. He started out acoustic. I think he did “Sugar Mountain.” And then they rocked for an hour. They sounded great. Of course, we went to the Greek Theater to see the first Crosby, Stills & Nash show. Neil was now in the group. We paid, but may have snuck in one other night. That first album kicked me in the ass. And Déjà Vu which was another one that blew me away. I just fell in love with it immediately. Songs like Neil’s “Country Girl.” And I was always a big fan of the Byrds.

Many years go by and I end up playing with Neil in his Blue Notes group. “This Bud’s For You.” I did play with Neil at a little Mexican restaurant nightclub in Montebello on Garfield Avenue. We went down there one night because the sax player, Steve Lawrence, used to play there. “Let’s play a little club.” “Hey let’s do it!” We were at SIR. Next thing I know. We grabbed a few amps and went down there. Set up and played. It was hilarious. Neil later did a version of “Farmer John” on a Crazy Horse album.

I subsequently played with Neil on his solo albums and tours. And then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Neil’s tours had Buffalo Springfield tunes but this was Buffalo Springfield. And the front line of Neil, Stephen and Ritchie. All during my tours and recording with Neil, he and I would talk about Buffalo Springfield. I never hid my excitement about Buffalo Springfield and loved to talk to him about that band, sometimes over a couple of glasses of wine. He embraced the band. He loved it. Neil would talk about it as much as he could remember. He drove around in one of his first tour buses with the Buffalo Springfield logo on the back.

I was already a graduate of Neil Young University. That gave me a tremendous amount of confidence to take on this job. Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer were definitely part of the original sound. I did my best to try and emulate Bruce to the best of my ability. I tried to play some of the parts because they worked so well. The shows were magic. And Neil used some vintage Buffalo Springfield gear. A couple of his guitars.

Our 10 Year Anniversary of Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse Europe 2013 Alchemy Tour

4 concerts in 3 countries in 5 days
Thrasher's Wheat Radio Goes To Europe!

 

10 years ago, we were in the midst of planning our concert dream trip of a life time: Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse in Europe 2013 for the Alchemy Tour.

The itinerary:

  • 2013-06-02 Waldbühne, Berlin, Germany - Opening Date of Summer Tour of Neil Young & Crazy Horse
  • 2013-06-03 O2 World, Hamburg, Germany
  • 2013-06-05 Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • 2013-06-06 Le Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, Paris, France

4 concerts in 3 countries in 5 days.

In addition, we had so much enthusiastic support and encouragement from our fellow fans. From all across Europe and around the world, we had generous offers of concert tickets, lodging, transportation and financial support which was so wonderfully gratifying to see how much folks really wanted to help make this happen.

The Europe adventure was a journey to the heart, mind and soul. Past, present and future with old and new friends. Alchemy, baby.

As we went In Search of the Holy Rail, we discovered The Magic Love of A Very Hot Night in Paris. To say it was all momentous would be the understatement of a lifetime as the TWR crew hit 4 concerts in 3 countries in 5 days. Exhilarating and exhausting, we wouldn't buy, sell, borrow or trade for anything different.

Anything.

~~ John & Paul

the zen of neil
the power of rust
the karma of the wheat

~Om-Shanti.
