<\/div>\n

Neil Young<\/a> is taking a page from the Bob Dylan playbook by creating his own version of the Bootleg Series. He has yet to roll out exact details, but the plan is to take famous concert bootlegs, track down the actual master recordings and release them himself via his website.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have ripped off all of the original art from the bootlegs,\u201d he wrote on the Neil Young Archives.<\/em><\/a> \u201cNo expense will be spared. The only difference will be the radically better sound from our masters.\u201d<\/p>\n

First up is a solo acoustic show taped February 1st, 1971 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. The bootleg label Rubber Dubber, in flagrant violation of U.S. copyright law, released it on vinyl under the name I\u2019m So Happy That Y\u2019all Came Down<\/em> back in the Seventies. Young plans on bootlegging the bootleggers by using artwork from the original release. Frank Zappa did something very similar with his Beat the Boots!<\/em> series in the early Nineties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going full bore with our series right now, so write letters in to me with your favorite bootlegs and we will find them and use the best audio we can locate, either from the NYA vaults or somewhere else,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWatch for this coming soon. We are building it starting today.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is one of several archival releases Young is planning at the moment. His long-awaited LP Homegrown<\/em>, which was recorded and shelved in 1975, is finally coming out June 19th. He\u2019s also prepping a 1990 Crazy Horse club gig, a 2003 stop on the Greendale<\/em> tour and a collection of late Eighties studio sessions he\u2019s dubbing Road of Plenty.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

In recent weeks, he\u2019s shared five homemade Fireside Session acoustic gigs on the Neil Young Archives<\/em> that are packed with rarities, such as \u201cThrough My Sails,\u201d \u201cOn The Beach\u201d and \u201cNew Mama.\u201d Just don\u2019t expect to see him play in person anytime soon. \u201cMay be a couple of years before I feel safe asking people to come and see\/hear me,\u201d he recently wrote on the NYA. \u201cThat\u2019s just the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
