ANALYSIS: What Harvest Time Reveals About Neil Young

 

Back in 2020, Neil Young announced a new "Weld Series" planned for Neil Young Archives and the full concert of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Buffalo, 1991 is now streaming on demand on MovieTone | NYA

1991 Buffalo's "LIKE A HURRICANE" 12+ minute encore and considered to be "Mind Blowing" -- even by Neil himself.  Be sure to watch last few seconds of the encore from the CRAZY HORSE - BUFFALO WAR MEMORIAL film with  a very special treat for those with eyes open to see for. HINT: It shows the calm in the eye after the storm and will break every rusties heart.

Two recordings from Buffalo concert are on the live album "WELD" -- the "stunning towering majesty" of an electric Bob Dylan cover of "Blowin 'In The Wind" and the "Mind Blowing" encore of "Like A Hurricane".

Rolling Stone's Andy Greene writes: "It’s Young at his Godfather of Grunge prime and a great gift for fans stuck in their homes."

The following comment was posted by the ever so faithful and fearless Scotsman:

The long-awaited video of Like A Hurricane from Weld is now streaming on NYA.

One of the greatest Crazy Horse live performances ever (admittedly there are a fair few others, maybe several thousand).

If (for some strange reason) I had to pick just one officially released Crazy Horse track, this would be it.

It really is an incredible performance that just builds up to an outrageous level of intensity. Set aside 13 minutes this evening and watch it; then set aside an hour to get your breath back.

The complete Buffalo 1991 show is set for its premiere on Sunday. Stay home and enjoy it.

As mentioned, the 1st release from the "Weld Series" will be from Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York, on 1991-02-16. A preview clip was posted on NYA of "Campaigner" from Buffalo which indicates that this will be a performance oriented release concert as opposed to the original WELD release which contained vast amounts of audience reaction. Apparently, Manager Elliot Roberts was quite opposed to the WELD editing that favored audience over band. Neil seems to be correcting this decision by saying: "Well Elliot, you got it. Better late than never my old friend."

"How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."

This 8 minute+ "Crime in The City" version by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is from Buffalo on the WELD Tour in 1991 and is "blistering", per Neil.

Neil Young writes on NYA on "Crime in The City":

From The ‘Weld Series’ ‘Crazy Horse - Buffalo’ is a wonderful example of The Horse at full gallup! ‘Crime in the City’ is an excerpt of a longer song - 60-0 (sixty to zero) . That song is about 15 minutes with 10 or 11 verses. I wrote a few long ones about that time . . .’Ordinary People’ was the other big one from that period.

‘Sixty to-Zero will be included on the album ‘Road of Plenty’ - coming on 2021. ’This ‘Crime in the City’ rocks like only the Horse can rock. Enjoy it right now and turn it way up! Do whatever you want to do to get prepared. it’s a big ride!
love,
be well
ny

Watch it now at the HEARSE THEATER.

Also,  Neil Young's "Road of Plenty"/Eldorado EP+ appears now on NYA Timeline on March 26th, 2021 as Original Release Series 21.

In March 2020, Neil Young announced a new "Weld Series" planned for Neil Young Archives and the 1st clip has now been posted on Hearse Theater | NYA.

As mentioned in March 2020, the 1st release from the "Weld Series" will be from Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York, on 1991-02-16. A preview clip was posted recently on NYA of "Campaigner" from Buffalo which indicates that this will be a performance oriented release concert as opposed to the original WELD release which contained vast amounts of audience reaction. Apparently, Manager Elliot Roberts was quite opposed to the WELD editing that favored audience over band. Neil seems to be correcting this decision by saying: "Well Elliot, you got it. Better late than never my old friend."

Here is an in depth look at one of Neil Young's most lyrically intense song:  "Crime in The City"/"60-0". And -- as with so much of Young's song writing gems -- it remains unreleased in all of its full ragged glory splendor. The following analysis looks closely at the very interesting and unusual development of the unreleased epic 18-minute "Sixty To Zero" into the shorter rocking "Crime in The City".

Neil Young - 1989

Per an early 2020 posting on Neil Young Archives, another archival album is planned for 2021 titled "Road of Plenty".

Working with producer Niko Bolas, "Road of Plenty" will contain recordings made in the run up to "Freedom" in the late 1980s. The album has live takes of "Crazy Horse", studio recordings with the "Bluenotes", as well as, the 1989's legendary "Saturday Night Live" musical guest (see Neil Young on SNL: "Considered to be one of the most intense live television studio performances ever".)

"Probably the greatest guitar rock album ever"
~~ UNCUT Magazine's Allan Jones
"Eldorado" - Neil Young and the Restless

"Road of Plenty" has also appeared as an import titled "Eldorado". An album review UNCUT Magazine's Allan Jones modestly said: "The simple fact is that 'Eldorado" is probably the greatest guitar rock album ever." Jones continues describing the album's sound as: "holocaustal, post-apocalypse ruptures and manglings, great bloody swathes of feedback, random distortions, and gashes of sound, the reckless weather of psychotic abandon."

ELDORADO
1989 - Reprise 20P2-2651 (CD-EP, Japan and Australia only)

"Cocaine Eyes" – 4:24
"Don't Cry" – 5:00
"Heavy Love" – 5:09
"On Broadway" – 4:57
"Eldorado" – 6:03

"Eldorado"'s band The Restless consisted of Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas. The EP contains different mixes of three songs that subsequently appeared on Young's 1989 album Freedom, "Don't Cry," "On Broadway," and "Eldorado," and two tracks not available on any other recording, "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love." The "Don't Cry" track on Eldorado is longer than the later version published on Freedom (5:00 vs. 4:14).

From Album Review of Neil Young and the Restless: Eldorado by Allan Jones:

The simple fact is that 'Eldorado" is probably the greatest guitar rock album ever.

Parts of it are like nothing you've ever heard, holocaustal, post -apocalypse ruptures and manglings, great bloody swathes of feedback, random distortions, and gashes of sound, the reckless weather of psychotic abandon. It's almost as if Young listened to the rather docile, reverential cover of his songs on the "Bridge" tribute album, listened to The Pixies and Soul Train and Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. and thought to himself, "Hey, kids - THIS is how you do it..."At which point, he plugs in his guitar, cranks the volume up to max and begins to roar.

Comment of the Moment: PREMIERE - Neil Young & Crazy Horse Concert Buffalo, 1991

This past weekend, the concert film from "Weld Series" of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Buffalo, 1991 premiered in Hearse Theater | NYA.

Rolling Stone's Andy Greene writes: "It’s Young at his Godfather of Grunge prime and a great gift for fans stuck in their homes."

The Comment of the Moment is on the post "PREMIERE Neil Young & Crazy Horse Concert Buffalo, 1991" by rolandthompsongunner:

It's hard to add anything in articulate way, after everyone else has already hit the nail on the head.. but here it goes.

What a powerful show. Neil has said that he transitioned into his Harvest Moon phase because this tour burned him out, and it's easy to see why. Even just witnessing this one show, it's exhausting (in the best sense of the word).

I didn't personally see any of these shows live (I really wish I was able to), but one wonders what the audience thought. It's a punishing assault (again, in the best sense of the word) for two solid hours. The stage lights are so low, that you can barely see the band, which transfers wonderfully to this video. Yeah, there some shoddy audio/visual moments, but they only add the beauty. Neil could put this out on DVD tomorrow, with no further technical corrections and we'd all scoop it up. It's such a wonderful spit in the face to the pyrotechnics and staged choreography to other bands of the late 80s and early 90s era. Billy straight up knocks his mic over during Welfare Mothers. You can't manufacture that kind of beauty or moment, it just happens. And the fog during Blowin In the Wind, just hits home that much harder.

Scotzman is right on with this version of Hurricane. It was always stunning on Weld, and to witness it, man, the images I've had in my mind don't come close to what was captured here. Neil's moving around with such speed and intensity, that it's like something in a Buster Keaton movie where the image is sped up.

It's fantastic that all this Ragged Glory material is coming out now, I can't wait for the Rust Bucket release. Keep the Horse comin! This is a wonderful era!

Also- again- many have pointed it out, but Uncle Eddie must've really really had a poignant impact on Neil. Really nice to see how he took it to heart, and won't forget about him (and agreed, the credits were an awesome touch). Really shows that NYA was built for the fans. I hope you and your family are safe and well Uncle Eddie, you've opened the floodgates for the rest of us, and it's wonderful.

Take care out there and Be The Rain.

Thanks RTG! Words don't really begin to do justice to the performance captured. As we tweeted "fire on the rail!"
