Neil is back and healthy and just played two 3 hour + concerts in Nashville that were filmed by Jonathan Demme. Neil had some things to say about Live 8 in this article on Canoe.ca.
______________________________________
He had harsh words for the TV networks about their Live 8 coverage of concerts around the world.

"It was so commercialized in the end," said Young, who sang at the event in Barrie, Ont.

But on the plus side, he said it "did herald the end of TV as we know it, which I think is one of the greatest signs of Live 8."

He said the media seemed out of step with reality.

"It did show that the Internet was the future . . . you won't have to listen to these complete jerk VJs interrupting historic performances by artists that haven't been together in 20 years to talk about how emotionally involved they are in the performance," he said.

I can't wait for the archives to materialize. Here's a excert from a great article about the new disc here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/20/arts/music/20youn.html">http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/20/arts/ ... 0youn.html</a><!-- m -->

Meanwhile, Mr. Young had been working steadily on releasing digital versions of the music in archives that date back more than 40 years. The last time he was on the verge of releasing archival material, he changed his mind when improvements in technology promised higher fidelity and he started a new round of remastering. Mr. Young recently renewed his longtime contract with Reprise Records, which will release the first volume of his archives - covering 1963 to 1973 - as a set of eight DVD's or CD's.

That sounds fantastic!! Can't wait.
