Archives Guy & Fresh NYA BD Live Download

UPDATE:

- NYA BD Live - #3: Cinnamon Girl at Fillmore East, March 7, 1970

- NYA BD Live Download - #4: Mr Soul, Apr 1967

Just a heads up that Archives Guy has some info in comments on yesterday's Fresh NYA BD Live Download which is Cinnamon Girl from Fillmore, March 7, 1970.

Also, (and hopefully we're not too off the ranch on this) there is a website devoted to unearthing the mysteries Easter Eggs, virtual bongs, and hidden tracks of the Neil Young Archives put together by long, long time rustie Lone Red Rider.

Thanks LRR!

And -- a reminder from Brett:

Hidden Track/Video/clip tips:

Keep clicking around with your remote folks... up, down, left, right...

- Open the MORE menu
- Take a day off work
- Check the TIMELINE
- Open each Song folder... look for roach clips/feathers/audio log info tabs
- Look in the folders with Album title names
- The Book: in the Archives Selected Tracks section... the hidden tracks are listed starting with.. ie... 1.XX, or 6.XX (they aren't highlighted in yellow)"

And some more stuff to look for from Lone Red Rider:

Someone mentioned that there is footage of Neil opening a letter containing some of his early songs? Has anyone found that?

Also there seems to be extra footage (primarily Archives footage of Neil & Joel in the Archives barn) in the MORE section of each of the Archives discs except discs 0 and 1. Has anyone found any extra footage in those 2 discs?
------------------------------------------

There are 2 clips of Neil opening letters. One for Aurora and the second for the Sultan. They are in the respective folders for those disks.
------------------------------------------

Disk1:

Bonus Tracks: 3 are on the timeline. 1 is in the filefolder of Flying On The Ground. Look for a clip with a feather attached.

Bonus Video: For the “hard to find” one, see the bonus track for “Flying On The Ground”.

There are no “Archives Barn” videos that I have been able to find on this disk.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Archives Guy, you are correct, you do have the ability to click "Play All."

However, this is a misnomer; you DO NOT have the ability to Play Everything on the disc. You only can play the NON-HIDDEN tracks.

Don't you think it'd make sense if you could click PLAY ALL and play EVERYTHING?

I know i'd get a whole heckuva lot more enjoyment out of the Archives if i didn't have to continously "FIDDLE FADDLE." (ha ha).

it's about the music, remember.

give it up, he already responded to you yesterday. There are only like 10 hidden tracks, some of them are duplicates with slightly different mixes then the versions that aren't hidden. Basically what I'm trying to say is: Who gives a fuck? Get over it. They designed it like that on purpose, that's the way it is. I'm sorry you can't simply press play and get "Emperor of Wyoming", but instead you can spend 30 seconds navigating to it. It's really not hard.

Cinnamon Girl at the Fillmore 3-7-70.

Another one bites the dust!

Seriously though, awesome. Keep up the good work. I hope my entire set is eventually obsolete.

I cannot wait for this movie and to see another version of Like A Hurricane on film is just amazing! I found this interview with Demme online, and I thought maybe anyone interested would love to read it.

Why don't you just send your project's whole tracklist to AG and start getting some sleep at night??? :-)

Thrasher- Thanks for the shout out. Keep watching that site. It's being updated all the time. Sorry it doesn't have a nice URL.

Do you have any updates on the release of the First 4 on Blu Ray? Also what about Fork on Blu Ray? I have been hanging out on picking these up until the Blu Ray versions are released.

Cheers.

At 9/17/2009 05:39:00 AM, Mick said...: I like the idea of navigating to find the hidden tracks/videos. etc etc.

However, I feel there is a solution to let Neil have it work in the way he likes , but also allow a better experience for the user in the long run. Basically, set it up so you have to find the hidden stuff yourself initially , it isnt that hard as someone will post details on the web for all these anyway. Once you've found and played this content, it is than added to another folder/menu maybe the menu where the timeline is as an example. You get the thrill of finding it initially and the easy way of playing it again later. Remember guys , they are stretching the limits of this new technology, something may sound easy , but that may not be the case!!

I have the bluray , but not connected to the net with it yet, am ok to wait as there looks like there will be some great stuff by the time I get around to it

Can anyone who has downloaded Cinnamon Girl at Fillmore on BD live confirm how many Mb the download was?

Cheers,

I was flipping thru the book the other day and a small 5-point weed leaf(marijuana that is) fell out of the book and onto my lap.

It's hard to believe that the leaf did not fall out earlier, but I definitely did not put it in there and then forget about it, despite having lots of weed close by.

Has anyone else seen this? Confirm? Archives Guy?
I have another sealed book, but not ready to open it yet.

I won't spoil the "surprise" for everyone, but it's not a big download.
