Here's another great Neil Young compilation, although much more obscure stuff here. This was another response by fans to fill the void until the oft-delayed, ever-elusive 'definitive archive' collection promised by Young finally comes out (still not released, maybe next year?). Excellent set. An essential collection for every serious Neil Young fan. Outtakes, rarities, demos, live versions. 82 tracks on 5 disks. Great companion to 'A Perfect Echo'. Whereas 'Echo' tries to compile all the best unofficial live versions of classic Neil songs, ABD2000 collects primarily the obscure, unknown, and rare song performances that many have probably not heard before.
Sound Quality varies from mediocre to excellent, but overall, very good.

ReplyDeleteonly gripe: it appears that "Winter Winds/Turbine" (track 5, disc 4) is missing?
any chance you can post it as a stand alone mp3?
cheers
LAFML
Thanks a lot! "Hitch hiker" is one of my favorite Neil Young songs...
ReplyDeleteSorry about the missing track. It was not on any of my arkived files, so I didn't think I ever had it. However, I was able to locate the original source I got this from, and ultimately did find the missing track (CD4, track 5, Winter Winds/Turbine), so here it is for anyone that needs it (BTW, it's not exactly classic Neil, not missing alot without it, but it is a rarity, and for the sake of completeness, here it is:

ReplyDeleteThank you, by the way, for your excellent site.

ReplyDeleteHi, is the 2000 year of the edition? Or rather part of the title? I'm trying to complet the albums of Neil Young...Thanks for the answering my question en avance!
ReplyDelete2000 is the year of the edition. The original Archives Be Damned compilation was traded on cassettes. In 2000 a rustie friend of mine created an updated compilation on CDR, hence "2000" added to the title
