651.0. "Tonight's the Night" by PUGET::WARREN () Mon Feb 23 1987 12:07

    I just bought Neil Young's " Tonight's the Night ". I'll buy anything
    of his that they release but if anyone's wondering about the quality
    of this disk I'd say beware !. There is a considerable amount of
    hiss . I hope they do a better job when they get to his earlier
    stuff.

651.1Any others, besides Harvest and Landing on Water?BAVIKI::GOODMichael GoodMon Feb 23 1987 12:269
    Tonight's the Night on CD?  Where?  Did they have other Young CD's
    there too?  The only ones I've seen before are Harvest and Landing
    on Water.
    
    If they're releasing that one they've GOT to have put out some
    of the more popular ones too - I've heard it was his worst-selling
    album.  It's a big favorite of mine though.

651.2All right!BCSE::RYANTo CD or not CD...Mon Feb 23 1987 17:409
	Yes, it was also a favorite of mine - I'm glad to hear it's
	out. I'm not surprised about the sound quality - it was an
	exceptionally poor recording in the first place, if I remember
	correctly. When the music's that good I don't complain (too
	much:-) about the sound.
	
	I have Harvest - that disk has pretty good sound.

651.3That's all their is!PUGET::WARRENTue Feb 24 1987 10:1211
    I found it at a place called Silver Platters in Bellevue, Wash.
    
    No, they did not have any others and I hope they're on there way.
    
    I have harvest too, and I think it's great. It's just getting a
    bit tiresome listening to it every time I want to hear Neil. I have
    Landing on the Water and Shocking Pinks as well but they're not the
    kind of NY music I like. 
                                                               
    still waiting,

651.4Sugar MountainNEBVAX::GOSSELINWed Mar 04 1987 14:388
    Ah, Neil Young...one of the best recordings I've ever heard by him
    was a bootleg called (I think), "Sugar Mountain." Sound quality
    was pretty uneven, but the performance was superb. I wonder if it'll
    ever get out on the CD format - I would imagine bootleg CD's will
    be impossible to find, given the manufacturing process. The arguement
    regarding bootlegs not withstanding, I'd love to see them in CD
    format.

    Yep, it is "Sugar Mountain", I've heard it a few times but it's
    been so long I don't remember where. I'd hate to pick my favorite
    Young song but Sugar Mountain has to be in the top 5. The story
    goes that there's was a club in Canada that he used to hang out
    in that was for people under 21 (or so). Young was the oldest in
    the group and he reached the age where he couldn't go there anymore.
    He wrote Sugar Mountain to describe his feelings about it.
    
    Later, Joni Mitchell wrote "Circle Game" about the same club. There
    are some lines in it about " soon the boy is 20" , and dragging
    your feet to slow the circles down etc. 
    
    Latest Rolling Stone says that Young has re-joined CS+N, they did
    a benefit in Santa Barbara, are planning to tour, and want to do
    and album. It's a pretty encouraging article, I hope it's accurate.
