Printed artwork and subsequently played the whole Canterbury '69 set today -- just magnificent, especially after having heard the raw source material. A spectacular job.

Holy cow this sounds incredible, fellas. Neil's voice is in top form here.

Holy cow this sounds incredible, fellas. Neil's voice is in top form here.

Long story short, the shows are full of ponderous raps, there are tape cuts/incomplete songs, digital clicks and glitches in the stream capture and varying amounts of wierd digital reverb (WTF?). He is also quite drunk and/or very tired by the third show.

Besides compiling the best moments...I avoided the long raps, removed all the glitches and deleted the reverb. Add ridleybradout's spiffy artwork and you've got one of the best overall releases from the early acoustic years, and I managed to include every song performed during the 3 shows. It's baffling that Neil didn't do this himself.

[Teeeeeekay]

Where did this come from?

This is breathtaking stuff. Love, love that Everybody’s Alone.


Thanks again.

Neil Young + Promise Of The Real announce a new live album, Noise & Flowers, that captures the group in all their glory on their 2019 European tour. The release will be accompanied by a similarly titled concert film that’s included in the album’s 2xLP+CD+Blu-ray Deluxe Edition, and as a stand-alone Blu-Ray disc.

Noise & Flowers is available for pre-order now and is out August 5 via Reprise Records.

Click HERE to stream “From Hank To Hendrix.”

Noise & Flowers documents a 9-date tour that began just two weeks after Young’s lifetime friend and manager of more than 50 years, Elliot Roberts, passed away at age 76. Performing alongside a photograph of Roberts taped to his road case, Young approached each show as a celebratory memorial service to honor his late friend. It’s a trek that Neil describes as “wondrous.”

Noise & Flowers explores all corners of his vast discography. It balances all-timer anthems (“Mr. Soul,” “Helpless,” “Rockin’ in the Free World”) with rarely aired ‘70s deep cuts (“Field of Opportunity,” “On the Beach”) and ’90s gems (“From Hank to Hendrix,” “Throw Your Hatred Down”). His frequent backing band since 2015, Promise of the Real effectively bridges the extremes in Young’s sound, infusing his raging rockers and country serenades with their casual brilliance and telepathic intuition.

Noise & Flowers’ companion film, directed by Bernard Shakey and dhlovelife, emphasizes both the intimacy and ecstasy of these performances.

“Playing in his memory [made it] one of the most special tours ever,” Young says in the album’s liner notes. “We hit the road and took his great spirit with us into every song. This music belongs to no one. It’s in the air. Every note was played for music’s great friend, Elliot.”
All Greedy Hand Store purchases of Noise & Flowers (LP, CD, Deluxe boxset) come with the hi-res digital audio download from the Xstream Store © at NYA.

The stand-alone Blu-ray edition of the concert film will be available exclusively at Greedy Hand Store.

Noise & Flowers is entry No. PS 21 in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series of live releases—a special addition to a robust, and still-growing catalog.

Noise & Flowers track list:
1. Mr. Soul
2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
3. Helpless
4. Field Of Opportunity
5. Alabama
6. Throw Your Hatred Down
7. Rockin’ In The Free World

10. On The Beach
11. Are You Ready For The Country

Hey, this is fucking good.

[desirless]

got it since day one at guitars101; printed the gorgeous artwork on matte paper and burn a vinyl-like vintage CD-R copy (black vinyl-like)

I just wanted to thank you again and congratulate you for this amazing CD.

thank you for the music - another winner, you can't go wrong with Wendy Carlos's Twin
Beautiful artwork by ridleybradout, it reminds me the style of "Greendale" album.

I Always loved "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" and Breathe (Oops!) (at least we know what David and Roger were listening at that time) aka "Don't By The River" (do you love by the way the very Floydish studio recording on his album "You're Not Alone" album by Roy Buchanan ? there are some synth effects a-la Prince Of Darkness by John Carpenter on the main title; the irony is that he played on a Goldtop, not his usual guitar; like Snowy White the same year 1977 on tour with Pink Floyd - I have always wondered how the Pink Floyd '77 jams would have been with a tormented and discreet Roy Buchanan instead of Snowy White.
This set is superb. And "that" particular chord on "The Old Laughing Lady" just kills me; it's such a magnificent song.
