But a full concert compilation of the best of the tour. Like what is compiled on rust for each tour. Both the release of ‘Toast’ and ‘Noise & Flowers’ come amid Young’s ongoing series of archival reissues. In April, he released the ‘Official Release Series Volume 4’ box set, comprising three classic albums from the 1980s – one of his own, and two collaborative efforts – as well as a rare EP that was only ever sold in Australia and Japan. And now, the archivists, historians and other note-takers can add the 2019 tour to that distinguished list.

Noise And Flowers’ is one of Neil Young’s best live DVDs and one that should delight both old and new fans of his work. The interplay between Young and Promise of the Real is great and dare I say, they somehow manage to out ‘Crazy Horse’ the actual Crazy Horse. This is a greatest hits selection worthy of Elliot Roberts’ 50-year friendship with Neil Young. Angel Olsen recently opened up about recording her new album in Young’s studio. During a conversation on Apple Music 1, she discussed the influence of Young’s music on her craft and recalled the experience of using the Colorado recording facility. “Well, it’s what you would imagine Neil Young’s studio being like, you know?” she began. “So it was just kind of the perfect setting. And I had been listening to a lot of Neil Young. It was so beautiful. You walk out of this wooden panelled studio in the canyon and go outside, and there’s a picnic table and trees. And there’s a little bridge where water comes through, and there’s just a beautiful hillside behind the whole thing.” And then, of course, there's the "spook" — the sense of space in the sound that leaves room for the listener's imagination.

Retrieved August 13, 2022.According to Young, ‘Toast’ is “an album that stands on its own in [his] collection”. He cited the record’s melancholic tone as a reason why it never left the studio, explaining in another blog post: “Unlike any other, ‘Toast’ was so sad that I couldn’t put it out. I just skipped it and went on to do another album in its place. I couldn’t handle it at that time. 2001.” As to freedom, it is elusive when not illusive. It’s only half the picture. The question, morally, about freedom is: what you do when you’ve got it? That’s where the value lies. Swisscharts.com – Neil Young %2B Promise of the Real – Noise & Flowers". Hung Medien.

The audience began the show in one mental space and was carried away to another — with a sense of uncomplicated direction, a sense of urgency, and that vividly-alive feeling that I wrote about in a previous comment about Noise and Flowers.

Neil Young and Promise of the Real’s 2019 European tour will be chronicled in the upcoming concert movie and companion album Noise & Flowers, which arrives August 5. Ahead of its release, Young has offered up “From Hank to Hendrix” from the trek. That's one reason why he's not well-suited to those shambolic all-star celebrity jam sessions that happen at awards ceremonies. Unless there's a good producer involved!).Truly a great collection,” Young writes about the movie and live album, “dripping with the soul of our band as we played for our fallen leader.” We too enjoyed "Noise & Flowers" last night as well. After proper Saturday Night Hearse Theater attitude adjustment, managed to get the stream going about 11P and finished up after midnight sometime. Don't think we woke up any neighbors, but we did hear hounds that howl in the distance. Robinson, Ellie (June 25, 2022).

In 2019, the vibe *and* musical arrangement was in place for the band to put on a mighty performance, and they certainly delivered on that promise (both in Europe and the short US mini-tour that came first).

Neil fans know that several of Neil's most memorable tours have been performed in Europe. Starting in 1976, with magical performances including Like A Hurricane at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in London, England. The recent discussion on here about jazz, though I know it’s been primarily about Toast, feels to the point here. Both the Horse and the Real are capable of delivering plenty of noise, noise which, at its most hectic, moody, or frenetic reminds me of my deep period of listening to Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, masters of experimental, cutting edge (at the time) “free jazz”. Later Coltrane can be every bit as wild the noisiest parts of N+F. Straining at the limits of melodic and harmonic structures.

Austriancharts.at – Neil Young %2B Promise of the Real – Noise & Flowers" (in German). Hung Medien. Retrieved August 17, 2022.I thought Promise of the Real sounded great, looked great, and played with a real sense of direction... of travelling somewhere special. I think the most engaging tours (musically *and* visually) are the ones where Neil is the dominant force on stage, rather than "merely" one of the gang. At heart, he's a solo artist with a point-of-view. Even when he's playing with a band.
