QUIT BITCHING. if you aren't a neil fan. bugger off. i don’t think anybody truly understands the scope of this thing.

I don't want to look at antiques and other historical aspects of Neil's work. I just want to hear (yes, HEAR - not see - can you believe it? In this multimedia-mistaken industry, I want just listen to music) the Archives and hear what the heck has taken him so darn long to compile over the years. Releasing on DVD/Blu Ray this stuff is a marketing mistake and no, I will not rip from the DVDs nor await the MP3 dowloads. I just won't buy them. Of course all the people who drool over every word he says or writes will be all over these Blu Rays, no doubt...I don't want MP3 downloads, just release it on vinyl and/or CD. Didn't he make mention once at a show in 1999 that it is "just a stupid song"? If that's the case, why all the planned film fluff for the Archives? In any case, the "family farmer" he so much cares about (?) won't be able to afford his Archives DVDs/Blu Rays. So much for "This Note's for You."

Come on...... I have a decent quality NAD stereo CD player with a decent quality amp and decent quality speakers. All I ask for are well mastered CD's. Why are you such an awkward %^&!? Is it such a problem to put out audio on a format that everyone can embrace? Everyone who is anyone owns a CD player and a stereo of sorts. Multi-media is great but we want tangible audio CD's as well.... CD's are made for audio, DVD's/Blu Ray is multi-media.

I like music DVDs, and have enjoyed the accompanying ones with his recent album releases, but the cd always gets far more play. To somehow incorparate both would be the ideal, like with the aforementioned albums. I’m definately against this idea.

I can buy it on that and "borrow" the audio from the internet. Ps3 really is the best Blue Ray player to buy because it can get every software update. Plus you can play Metal Gear.

You don't like the format, you don't have to buy. You want it at any cost in whatever format, it's there to buy. Shit, you've even got a third choice===wait for people to rip it off, then get yourself a copy of that, free. But at this stage in his career, NY's got nothing left to prove. You think he owes you more pleasure than he's given already? He's a one-off. They don't make Neil Youngs in factories. They didn't in 1970, and they sure as hell don't now. At least appreciate that instead of whining like whipped consumers. Why the complaints? You don’t like the format, you don’t have to buy.

If he is going to bring someone experienced and talented in the visual area, maybe they would be worth picking up on DVD. I love you Neil, but leave the film making to real film makers.

The post says mentions them as “multi-media format(s)” so I presume this is straight DVD (as opposed to the ill-fated HD-DVD) and standard multi-media Blu-Ray (as opposed to the equally useless “high-resolution” stereo Blu-Ray). Confused yet? I’m crafting an email today to Neil’s people today suggesting he release all the Archives discs as low resolution 78 RPM only. Take that music business!
