Neil Young Archives Blu-ray Preview

[ragingbull2001]

Like if you thought the mortal kombat song was gonna play at the beginning

[neilyoung0925]

Bernard Shakey!!!!

[JohnNorthWillys]

hey ???? is that a 1950 jeepster , or a 1951 ? 6 OR 4 ? i got a dozen of em out back --- i let feral cats use them for --- bathrooms

[WLDB]

I ordered mine last night. Going to look for a blu ray player today at some point.

[apemantus67]

Oh no! It's been pushed back again. Wouldn't it be funny if it never came out.

[cheapholiday]

Give me this? Where can I get the 45 rpm and 16mm? I'll pay for that. This promo teases with turntables and reel-to-reels, but you pay for you 1s and 0s.

[septip123]

can't he release this in "small bites" for those who can't afford the $300+

[ryderup]

feels to digital and meh... like a videogame...

[Danman917]

I don't think this kind of thing has ever been done

[septip123]

i can't wait until some cool person rips the entire $300 archive and puts it on YouTube for free!

[raunharris]

completely impossible and pointless, all of the music that is in the archive is already in the world (with the exception of the rare vids and bootlegs). the point of the archive is the interactive aspect as found in comp discs.

[newenglishsound]

Whats this song thats playing during the movie?

[backinnyc]

i thibk its the sultan by neils early band

[Bradley333]

Yeah...Amazon has it listed for $323. Good grief! January 27th release date. I am in!

[TheDrunkenAngel]

I want this so bad!

[THEREDNECKPEPI64]

awesome!

[burgmail]

What in the world? A Reprise Records rep said in a Billboard article that not only the Archives set is pushed back to early 2009 (as dublinboyo said), but it's going to be available on DVD ONLY?!?!? What mess is this? "On the Beach" sounds absolutely GREAT in 24/176 DVD-Audio, why would they EVER want to limit themselves to standard DVD's maximum 24/96 when Blu-Ray's 24/192 is available??? Something's not right.

[burgmail]

Correction: the Billboard article says "Blu-ray only". The article I read misquoted. Seems "Sugar Mountain" won't be part of the set either. More great NYA stuff to buy, in DVD! :D

[dublinboyo]

Posponed yet another time. Now scheduled for release in early 2009. I love Neil Young!

[SWAC424]

when is this being release!?!?!?

[smoke117]

It's been announced it's going to be available on dvd and cd.

[dobyblue]

Is there a link to that?

Java is helping to sponsor this collection and the whole reason Neil's doing it on Blu-ray is because he said he can't do it on DVD or CD, which is why he hasn't released it years ago.

[BridgeSchooler]

Don't know where you came up with the price of £200/$400...but you're wrong.

[EvangelineEvangeline]

This comes out in October 2008. It's a 10 disc Blu-ray set.

Guess I better get a Blu-ray player, eh?

[everybodysalone]

I dont care how much it is, im getting it the second its realised

[UtoobRulz]

how much would that be in US dollar per blu ray disc?

[tage92]

When is this comming out? ive heard something about september in Norway...

Is the music on this video a Ny song, then whats the name of it? :D

[themisianos]

YEs the song is neil young when he was with the squires in mid 60's it's called The Sultan and he broke it out on his most recent tour this year ..I'm guessing in honor of the archives coming out .the archives should start coming out this fall will be expensive though

[tage92]

Thanks

[ZumaGoldrush]

yos

[DeborahYIP]

Thanks a million for shring the vid !

[Vincecouk]

Blu Ray is a bit awkward for most people. Also audio discs are more convenient for things like...audio?

[Youngsyndrom]

Perfect. Neil!

[Jimdc821]

great stuff, but why Massey Hall again??

[rahlgren]

Only Neil knows the reasoning behind that! Don't forget -- for Neil, it's not about fans or listeners, it's about the music. Hence we have 40 years of classic, great, good and crappy stuff, depending on your tastes. Thank you Neil!

[joerayskrha]

Great job Neil, can't wait for the release. PEACE !!!

"..Well I hope Lynyrd Skynyrd will remember...

..this Southern Blu-ray don't need them arooound anyhow!.."

:)

[bozzrockband]

WOW !!

really great !!

[thsdogwalker]

'Better than Silver and Gold'!

[sanchez79]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1050476]

Why do not release this stuff in DVD?

[BPMead007]

earlier the plan was to do Blu-Ray and DVD but I don't know if that's still going to happen

[rahlgren]

Neil feels that Blu-Ray will give him the best audio quality possible, so no more regular DVD. If I read things right, though, supposedly nothing can be copied from Blu-Ray, which means you can't have it on your MP3 player. But I'm sure there's a hacker out there somewhere working on this "problem" as we read.

I had no intention of buying a BR player, but I may just do it for this. Maybe Sony will include a discount coupon for a player with the Archives.

[BPMead007]

lol it doesn't take a "hacker" to run a 2 dollar cable between the audio output of a blu-ray player and his soundcard.

These are going to come out on DVD anyway.

[zakclaxton]

Awesome! I'll be getting a PS3 just for this... and kicking my kid off the video games to watch Neil!

[NYarchiveFan]

it was a PlayStation 3 player that was stolen, not the presentation!

[mydogwhiskey]

I'm guessing they would be hyper-paranoid about a disc copy of the Archives being stolen--hence the prerecorded presentation as stated during the session.

[ronsouthward]

Ah Ha! We know where the "solen" copy of Neil's presentation went...

;-P

[mydogwhiskey]

This note's for you Neil: This looks amazing--I'm sold. Try to keep it affordable though, ok? I have to be able to buy the player, you know.

[BPMead007]

This looks too amazing for words. I'll have to buy a blu-ray player.
