It's a real treat to be so in love with an artist and then hear one of his best albums ever for the first time -- not sure I've had that happen in many, if any, other scenarios.

I'm definitely down for this, it's a great bootleg.

I was speaking of Greendale though, KD.



On The Beach is my favorite NY Album but my true obsession began with Greendale. Weird, i know.

Whoops, got lost in the conversation thread there.

Greendale is solid -- more of a "vibe" album for me, something I put on when I want to listen to Neil and 2/3 of Crazy Horse mellow-groove for a while (which is a high calling, don't get me wrong), but I get a kick out of the rock opera side of it too. It's definitely a Neil Young album through and through. "Bandit" is one of his top five best songs post-2000.

It's interesting which albums push you over the edge with certain artists. In my experience, it's not always the greatest ones. Like, those captivate your interest up front, but it's usually something kind of left-field where you have that realization of, "Wow, I really seem to identify with everything this artist does, and I want to hear every second of it."

Neil’s Reactor, and Dylan’s New Morning are perfect examples of this.

Very excited for this. I've listened to the bootleg a lot, but it will be nice to have an official, good quality version.

I've been happy to just stream all of these releases so far, but this might be the first one that I want to own a physical copy of.

That's what some the facebook geeks are saying. Sold out.

But I do wonder if we'll get stand alone LP releases.
