Just came across your post here, due to my interest in the this latest NYArchive. Great overview and summary. Longtime NY fan, though mostly focused on 60s/70s. But now I’m thinking NYA Vol.3 could lead me toward reexamining the 80s and beyond. Nice to encounter a knowledgeable Neil fan !
Good on you for your intense immersion in Vol. 3. I’m going through it much more slowly. I agree that as a huge fan, the repetition of tracks/albums is a bit frustrating. I guess it’s like what he did with Decade on a larger scale; a mixture of familiar and new/obscure. Cheers.
I’ve got the two previous archives set on CD so was a bit gutted to see this third set was massively expanded to 17 discs and a corresponding massive price increase ! Gonna have to wait for a price drop 😭
Great summary of III. I suspect the overkill of the original Geffen tracks is because this is the first time Neil has had access to release the Geffen tracks. Remember how Original Series 13 14 20 21 jumped right over them? He did not have the rights at that point which was just recently. This could mean we might see more action via Neil of that period soon if he has done more than just licence the tracks for III
This is another cracking vid! Anyway, I'm interested to hear... if you were to pin down your favourite 3 tracks from this boxset which ones would they be?
@@jessem470 CDs only are around $200. Whole thing with video content is around $450. Archives site membership, where it’ll eventually reside, is $19.99/year.
@@jessem470I am a member of the Neil Young Archive Site. The low price is just basic limited membership. If you want to access the movies and concerts and other rare tracks you have to pay 100 dollars (I’m in the UK so it was 80 pounds).
Great review. Own the first two box sets but for some reason I’ve been hesitant to order this. You illustrated the non standard stuff and the archive series stuff already released. Sounds like another recap of his restless genius!
Thanks for the breakdown. Since it sounds like I already own at least 50% of this material I'll probably wait a couple of years until the price drops to something reasonable. I'm not a fan of streaming so I usually rip the CDs to wav files and store them on my pc just in case the internet goes down.
Excellent overview! Really appreciate the effort(s) here.
@@gadget_geek Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words.

@@syater Thanks! There’s so much Comes A Time and Rust Never Sleeps material here too. An interesting journey, as it always is with Neil.

Thank you, man, for this overview.

@@Noise11channel I hope so. Would love to see full versions of Johnny’s Island and the original Old Ways.
Welfare Mothers is one of all-time favourite Neil Young songs. So there you go!
The Transformer Man video is something else!
He'll be eighty next year!
@@tomhirschel8524 Crazy! No signs of slowing down on the releases either.

@@willmcfall7675 I’m not sure at this point, but the acoustic “Shots” from the Boarding House shows would be on the list for sure.
How much does this cost ?
I have a big hole in my Neil Young catalog and a lot of it is from this period

@@lostmixtapes sounds like the archive site is a great deal
@@jessem470 I think it is. You can stream everything hi-res and he usually has interesting notes and observations about songs and sessions.
