Description
Neil Young + Promise Of The Real announce a new live album, Noise & Flowers, that captures the group in all their glory on their 2019 European tour. The release will be accompanied by a similarly titled concert film that’s included in the album’s 2xLP+CD Deluxe Edition. Noise & Flowers documents a 9-date tour that began just two weeks after Young’s lifetime friend and manager of more than 50 years, Elliot Roberts, passed away at age 76. Performing alongside a photograph of Roberts taped to his road case, Young approached each show as a celebratory memorial service to honor his late friend. It’s a trek the legendary singer/songwriter describes as “wondrous.” “Playing in his memory [made it] one of the most special tours ever,” Young says in the album’s liner notes. “We hit the road and took his great spirit with us into every song. This music belongs to no one. It’s in the air. Every note was played for music’s great friend, Elliot.” In paying tribute to the manager who guided Young’s career for over a half-century, Noise & Flowers explores all corners of his vast discography. It balances all-timer anthems (“Mr. Soul,” “Helpless,” “Rockin’ in the Free World”) with rarely aired ‘70s deep cuts (“Field of Opportunity,” “On the Beach”) and ’90s gems (“From Hank to Hendrix,” “Throw Your Hatred Down”). His frequent backing band since 2015, Promise of the Real effectively bridges the extremes in Young’s sound, infusing his raging rockers and country serenades with their casual brilliance and telepathic intuition.

Tracklist
1. Mr. Soul
2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
3. Helpless
4. Field Of Opportunity
5. Alabama
6. Throw Your Hatred Down
7. Rockin' In The Free World
8. Comes A Time
9. From Hank To Hendrix
10. On The Beach
11. Are You Ready For The Country?
12. I've Been Waiting For You
13. Winterlong
14. Fuckin' Up

This is from Neil's 2019 tour with Promise Of The Real, and will supposedly have an accompanying movie, so it's a possible that a home video announcement will also be forthcoming, either soon or somewhere down the line.

Renny actually brought news of this over a year ago, but neglected to leave an empty post at the top of his thread for the release info, so I'm restarting the thread from scratch. (The deleted one was basically Renny's frustration with Neil Young releasing so many albums, and then everyWAN else's frustration with Renny because they still wanted to collect Neil Young ... which I'm sure will happen in this new thread too. :))

i firmly believe that young was looking for a real sloppy band in the vein of crazy horse and stumbled upon the nelson brothers. he heard how truly bad they were and said to himself, "eureka!, i have found what i am looking for". and signed them to a multi-record deal.

Full details and pre-order links are now up in the first post. The movie of the concert will be on a Blu-ray that's exclusive to the Deluxe Edition box set. Collectors who only want the audio can opt for the less expensive CD standalone (or vinyl standalone).

Here's a sample:

I have not heard it, but reading about it on various sites, it sounds very intriguing. I'll have to seek it out.

Strictly regarding the sound...
Coming from a point of view that prefers live recordings...
This is poor for an official release. Acceptable, but still a bit disappointing if it was a boot considering the vintage. For a recent recording, even if not originally intended to be recorded for a release (no idea), with today's technology there is IMO little excuse.
It sounds similar to being in at a poorly designed acoustically 'barn;' like the Rosemont Horizon, or similar arena, but not in the sweet spot where the mixing board is typically located. Almost as if someone thought, 'lets wrap the mics, or cover the speakers with wool'. If the idea was to capture the ambiance of the experience of having poor seats in a poor arena, mission accomplished though still a knucklehead decision. Has none of the charm of audie tape.
Either that or something went extremely wrong with my car's system since last night.
