“Playing In The Band”
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Bob Weir

Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don’t trust to nothing
But I know it come out right

Say it once again now
Oh, I hope you understand
When it’s done and over
Lord, a man is just a man

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just look to see the sights

I can tell your future
Look what’s in your hand
But I can’t stop for nothing
I’m just playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a turning
While I’m playing in the band

If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak Daybreak on the land

Moving right along…

‘Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1’: The holy grail of box sets to arrive June 2

AUSTIN, Texas — The first volume of the decades-in-the-making, long-promised but never-delivered Neil Young box set is finally here and ready for delivery June 2.

Yes, “Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972” really exists. Its release was announced Saturday at a panel discussion devoted to its many riches at the South by Southwest music conference. Young has been promising the monstrosity either “next year” or “soon” since about 1989. But as Young filmmaker and curator Larry Johnson explained after the panel, the technology never quite made it possible for Young to realize his dream version of the set. With the advent of Blu-Ray, Young finally got his wish, and Young fans will finally have their holy grail.

The new technology will turn the Young archive into an interactive platform incorporating music, video and text, and open the possibility of creating add-ons via the Internet as they become available. In other words, the Blu-Ray version of the box will provide consumers with a portal into the Young archive to capture additional content as it is discovered. The Blu-Ray version containing just about everything Young recorded in his first decade as a performing artist will retail for $299, a DVD version for $199 and a CD box for $99, according to Young publicist Bill Bentley.

Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts, said the technology used to create “Archives” will be made available to other artists. “I could see this happening for John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, people of that nature,” he said. “Pearl Jam has already been in contact with us about it.”

“Archives” appears to be nothing less than revolutionary in how it will present an artist’s back catalogue. At least four additional Young box sets covering the rest of his career are planned, to be released at two or three year intervals.
