I laid off buying this until a couple of weeks back when I picked it up in a sale for 100 Euro's [I currently live in Holland...that's why!]
Unlike all those years ago when 'Decade' came out [also held up from its original release date], I really couldn't get all that worked up about this. It's essentially a grandiose compilation album with some interesting bonus material [but rarely more than interesting...though I did really enjoy finally seeing JTTP in pristine quality, and it's not a bad documentary/movie either, despite what you may have read].
However...and as everyone knows by now...all his first 4 solo lps have been virtually reconstructed [with a couple of omissions], plus the misfire of including Filmore and Massey [why DID he release these separately beforehand, yet only make it known to those who occasionally trawl his website?]. You know what I mean folks! This really doesn't deserve 5 stars, unless you don't already own those 4 lp's and 2 concerts. To pretend otherwise is a bit silly really....

I feel I have spent enough time with this set now to give a good overview of what this is all about. First of there is a lot more to this than we can gather from the official tracklist and takes a big investment in time and effort to explore and discover the treasures within. For example just looking through the first disc while listening to the music took about 2 or 3 hours The Early Years material I found surprisingly listenable when I thought it would be only interesting from a historical perspective and wouldn't stand up to repeat listening, it will definitely get another outing.
Most of the fun is in discovering for yourselves what is here and I feel I would be spoiling the fun to list everything, but there is a lot of extra video content to discover including a live performance from Fillmore of CSNY doing On the Way Home. Are you disappointed there has been no live Springfield audio released?... Fear not there is about 15 mins worth not in the tracklist. Do you see how this is shaping up? This is a totally different way to experience and appreciate an artist's work. It truly is an ego driven labour of love, an audio-visual autobiography of an artist's life's work and years ahead of his time.
Neil has made it plainly clear in an open letter to fans that the blu-ray set is the way to go, it is the highest possible audio quality currently available and the only one which has the updates and downloads of any new material that is discovered, after you have bought your set. There is 1 when you first boot up the set and are free and appear in your timeline when you accept them. You also receive a download of all 128 tracks in 320k digital downloads and the Sugar Mountain CD/DVD set as a free bonus.
Some of my highlights.
Springfield out-takes Sell Out and Slowly Burning
Comrie Smith material, especially Hello Lonely Woman featuring some killer Jaggeresque harmonica playing.
Goldrush era material with CSNY
1969 Sunset Studios Crazy Horse sessions including an alternate Birds and out-take Everybody's Alone.
Riverboat
Royce Hall Heart of Gold.
The alternate versions of released material are significantly different to the well known versions e.g. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere dates from the first album sessions and sounds more Springfield than Crazy Horse. A real surprise was the version of Helpless with harmonica.
Some of the criticisms of the set are valid if some over the top. The well documented inclusion of Massey Hall and Fillmore is less of an issue for the Blu-ray set as they are presented in 24-bit/192 kHz stereo PCM audiophile quality and that goes for every track on the set, none have been released in this resolution. There are omissions that are frustrating though. The Harvest era BBC performance is missing. CSNY studio versions of Sea of Madness and Everybody's Alone are absent as is the acoustic performance of the latter.
We have had 3 tracks from Royce Hall Jan 31st 1971 officially released... Needle and the Damage done on Harvest, Love in Mind on Time Fades Away and Heart of Gold on Archives, why not release the whole show? Also the Springfield material is missing On the Way Home which beggars belief as does the omission of Out on the Weekend from Harvest.
In summary if you have spent a lot of quality time with the 4 official albums from this era there is a lot of interesting material here you will love and treasure as much as those albums. More casual fans who have a few albums or hits collection like Decade there are cheaper ways to discover more about Neil Young. Start with all the 70's albums, plus CSNY déjà vu and 4 Way St plus the 3 Buffalo Springfield albums. This is an expensive set and if you add the cost of a blu-ray player to the mix it's difficult to justify in these recessionary times, but 10 blu-rays at about £17 is not unreasonable value, the value of the material within more than justified the expense for me.

Format:Blu-ray
I'm a big Neil Young fan...always have been...got pretty much all of his releases. He's my 'Desert Island' artist - couldn't imagine being without 'After The Gold Rush'...so I was not sure about this set as I've got a lot of the material on it. But I decided to go for it, and I'm really pleased I did. Fab quality, book and packaging great.....you know, it's expensive (go for the BluRay if you can), and it only gets 4 stars instead of 5 because of the previously available stuff...but if you really want to overload on some fabulous music, then treat yourself. Pure indulgence, but you know you are worth it!
