Certainly, the children have seen them,
In quiet places where the moss grows green.
Colored, shells, jangle, together,
The wind is cold, the year is old
The trees whisper together, 
and bend in the wind, they lean……

BUTTERBOY | Neil Young Archives Vol III

Neil Young - Archives Vol. III, 1976-1987 [2024] (17 x CDs)

yes you read it SEVENTEEN!!!

NEIL YOUNG
Neil Young - Archives Vol. III, 1976-1987 [2024] (17 x CDs)


As a long-time follower of Neil Young, I can’t help but gush over the brilliance of Neil Young’s Archives Vol. III (1976-1987). This monumental collection is a deep dive into one of the most eclectic and experimental periods of Young’s career. Spanning 22 discs (17x CDs + % DVDs) and featuring 198 tracks, this box set is a treasure trove for fans and newcomers alike, showcasing Young’s relentless creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of his art.
One of the most striking aspects of Archives Vol. III is its genre diversity. From the folk-rock charm of Comes a Time to the raw energy of Rust Never Sleeps, and the controversial electronic experimentations of Trans, this collection captures Young’s fearless exploration of different musical landscapes. Each album within this period tells a unique story, reflecting Young’s evolving artistic vision and his refusal to be pigeonholed into a single genre.
The inclusion of 24 previously unreleased original tracks and 15 unreleased songs is a significant highlight. Songs that” offer fresh insights into Young’s creative process and add new layers to his already rich discography. These tracks, along with numerous outtakes and live recordings, provide a more comprehensive understanding of Young’s work during this era, making Archives Vol. III an essential addition to any fan’s collection.
The live recordings included in this set are nothing short of spectacular. The energy and spontaneity of Young’s performances with Crazy Horse, particularly the 1984 club show, are captured brilliantly. These tracks showcase Young’s ability to captivate an audience with his powerful guitar work and emotive vocals. These live cuts not only highlight Young’s prowess as a performer but also offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into his musical journey.
Archives Vol. III does an excellent job of placing Young’s work within the broader context of his career and the music industry of the time. The collection sheds light on the challenges Young faced, including his contentious relationship with his record label and his personal struggles. This context enriches the listening experience, allowing fans to appreciate the resilience and determination that fueled Young’s artistic endeavors.
Ultimately, Archives Vol. III is a testament to Neil Young’s tireless creativity and his unwavering commitment to his craft. Even during periods of commercial and critical uncertainty, Young continued to innovate and experiment, producing music that remains impactful and relevant. This collection not only celebrates Young’s past achievements but also serves as a reminder of his enduring influence on the music industry.
In conclusion, Neil Young’s Archives Vol. III (1976-1987) is a must-have for any serious music enthusiast. It offers a comprehensive and immersive look into a pivotal period of Young’s career, filled with genre-defying music, unreleased gems, and unforgettable live performances. This box set is a celebration of Young’s artistic legacy and a testament to his enduring impact on the world of music. (B)
Young previously put out two colossal Archives box sets: Archives Vol. I in 2009 and Archives Vol. II in 2020.

*Original Notes from Silent Way
I received this in a trade many years ago, late 80's early 90's, it's a SBD recording but not a great one. There is a lot of tape hiss due to the high generation. But since there is very little early Humble Pie, this show is a favorite of mine.  

The story goes on this one that it was recorded by the Dutch Radio Station VPRO during a festival like concert that included Deep Purple and Brian Auger's Trinity and several other bands. All the bands were recorded but the show was never broadcast as a complete concert in any way just as individual songs.
 
According to The Highway Star, Deep Purple's Website, the radio station still has the original tapes and was going to release them on there own label but they never did. So if anybody that works at VPRO is reading this, please do me and everyone else a favor, make a copy of this from the Master Reel and post it somewhere for all to have instead of letting it sit and rot somewhere where no one gets to listen to it.  

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this!  Silent Way


****************************************************** 

Here's a show from the 1981 tour w/ some bonus tracks from the 1975 tour. Quality is very good (maybe an 8/10) for both shows.
Dates on the attached artwork are wrong, as can be confirmed by checking the track list, which includes tracks from On To Victory.

Tracks 1-8 were recorded in Los Angeles 1981, tracks 9-12 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia 1975.

Also, the lineup for the 1981 shows is not the classic Clem Clempson lineup of the 1975 show (as the artwork infers). In 1981, the band was Steve Marriott/Jerry Shirley/Bobby Tench/Booty Jones.

Paul Morrisey 1938 -2024

Jane Forth, Morrisey, Joe on the poster and Andy

We’ve lost Andy Warhol’s perhaps greatest collaborator/cinematographer Paul Morrisey and auteur genius master of American cinema verité, the first film I watched of theirs was this - ‘FLESH’ in 1968. A notorious lfelong conservative he managed the Velvet Undergound and collaborated on several Warhol projects. They fell out later and Morrisey again dismissed or misunderstood (as so many did! sic) Warhols ‘inactivity’ for something else but remains important in cinema history despite his rabid right wing views and anti-drug stance and hated being described as Warhol’s collaborator!
