- Condition: Brand new / still sealed (without a sticker). Discs: Brand new, cracked jewel case of "Harvest" album. These do not include any further details of artwork and anything relevant to that comparing to the "Limited Edition" version which was released in the U.S.A. of the same year, of which they'd be in mini-LP gatefold sleeves rather in a jewel-case like these.




03. Dreamin' Man - Live '92 (Archival Performance Series)

Includes a flyer of liner notes of credits and more. Performance Series Volume: 12.

- Recorded: 1992 across the U.S. during the Harvest Moon album promotional tour that time.

- Released: December 8, 2009. 

- Received: April 10, 2018 from a cousin living in London, UK. One of the last time I ever asked her to get me any items from eBay. Because it was just annoying to ask one all the fucking time, and I hated it. Later of that year I also got mine a new debit card, so nevermind.

- Condition: Used / like new (both CD sleeve and disc). 

Dreamin' Man / Such a Woman / One of These Days / Harvest Moon / You and Me / Hank to Hendrix / Unknown Legend / Old King / Natural Beauty / War of Man 





04. Massey Hall 1971 (Archival Performance Series)

Includes two flyers of Archives Box Set Volume 1 (1962-1972) advertisement and a credit note to the band and the crew. Performance Series Volume: 03. 

- Recorded: January 19, 1971 at the Massey Hall, Toronto, ON, Canada. 

- Released: 2007. I obtained this as the same as the "Dreamin' Man Live '92" album above, April 2018 from my cousin living in London. This is the CD + DVD combo-pak. Originally came with a sticker but a dickhead bass guitarist of my band (The Last Jackals) he lost it after I lent this album to him for a quick listen. 

- Condition: Brand new & still sealed when I first received. Opened and been played ever since. Great show!!! 

On the Way Home / Tell Me Why / Old Man / Journey Through the Past / Helpless / Love in Mind / A Man Needs a Maid + Heart of Gold <suite> / Cowgirl in the Sand / Don't Let It Bring You Down / There's a World / Bad Fog of Loneliness / The Needle and the Damage Done / Ohio / See the Sky About to Rain / Down by the River / Dance Dance Dance / I Am a Child








05. Harvest Moon (Original Release Series)

Includes a colored booklet inside normal jewel-case. I heard Uncle Neil might release this again soon as included in his upcoming 'Official Release Series' box set, Volume #5. (1989-1993) And if so, this should have a numbering on the spine like the others being re-released, from time to time... 

- Recorded: 1991 / 1992. 

- Released: November 2, 1992. I first got this from a friend living in Ontario as an exchange student studying abroad. He got it from a local store not far away from where he'd be living at. For free!!! It's cheap, anyways, and I could have totally paid for it. Date: April 18, 2018.

Unknown Legend / From Hank to Hendrix / You And Me / Harvest Moon / War of Man / One of These Days / Such a Woman / Old King / Dreamin' Man / Natural Beauty (live)








06. Roxy: Tonight's the Night Live '73 (Archival Performance Series)

Includes a flyer of credits to the band and the crew. Performance Series Volume: 05. 

- Recorded: September 20-23, 1973 at the Roxy, Los Angeles, CA. 

- Band: The Santa Monica Flyers. Ben Keith - slide guitar, backing vocals / Nils Logren - guitar, backing vocals, keyboards / Neil Young - lead vocals, guitars, keyboards / Ralph Molina - drums / Billy Talbot - bass guitar, backing vocals.

- Released: April 24, 2018 (vinyl & CD). Again, I placed an order on this great live album (both CD and vinyl) from Hãng Đĩa Thời Đại store (Times Records) but haven't been dealing with them since early 2020 because they never processed my orders of Grateful Dead albums (50th Anniv. series)... What a dick place. Nevermind lol. I got the CD in June 2018 and the vinyl in December 2019. Both versions sharing the same designs and album artwork cover and stuff, except the vinyl one having the fourth side etched with the 'Roxy' place's logo. 

Tonight's the Night / Roll Out the Barrel (instrumental) / Mellow My Mind / World on a String / Speakin' Out / Albuquerque / New Mama / Roll Another Number for the Road / Tired Eyes / Tonight's the Night / Walk On 






07. Crazy Horse at the Fillmore 1970 (Archival Performance Series)

- Recorded: March 6 & 7, 1970 at Bill Graham's the Fillmore East, NYC. Archives Performance Series Volume: 02. 

- Band: Crazy Horse (original lineup). Neil Young - lead vocal, guitar / Danny Whitten - guitar, vocal / Ralph Molina - drums / Billy Talbot - bass, backing vocal. 

- Released: November 14, 2006. I got this from, again, Times Records (Hãng Đĩa Thời Đại) after nagging them to get this combo-pak from eBay UK, and I eventually received it on September 1, 2018. 

Note: This, however, does not include the original flyer with credits to the band and the crew... It might be lost because this is a pre-owned album by someone from eBay UK. CD + DVD combo-pak, with high quality DVD Audio as later being included in the DVD version of Archives Volume 1 box-set (1962-1972). 

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere / Winterlong / Down by the River / Wonderin' / Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown / Cowgirl in the Sand

  CHAPTER SIX: “FRIENDS THAT I COULD TRUST” Let’s go back in time… this was on July 26, 2020. I was at Joe’s Café Muine, doing our two-night residential shows with Slowhandicap and Kyle. Peter had just left Vietnam to going study abroad again in Australia for the second, or third time, I can’t remember. He wouldn’t go back until 2021 and now he’s stuck here forever. He could never go back to Australia, I think his semester ended permanently. For what I can recall, this wasn’t a good gig to us all, but Kyle’s girlfriend, Krystal Mai, captured a few photos of us onstage as a trio. The pickup on Malthe was broken during the start of the second set – all thanks to Vivek of the Bohemian Basterds, so I had to switch to Judy for the rest of the show. He apologized to me and offered me some money to fix the pickup, but I said no. Anyway, I was just on my own hanging around and I overheard this song which was played many times on those speakers near the stage with music automatically ...

Mikey Ramone: The Autobiography   CHAPTER V: “SAFETY FIRST” Since the times, days and years, or every single second that I would be still in high school, I had been always very unlucky, especially to find a special friend – yes, just one friend – to vibe along with. I mean, who would spend their precious times together either as a soul mate or just a casual friendship – you know, talking about life, and rock and roll music. All of my friends both in middle school and high school were morons. They were idiots. They didn’t know about rock and roll music – that’s fine; but what they needed to do is to shut the fuck up and not mocking the good music over my face, rubbing it in over and over like that. I despise people like that – they got no brains at all… maybe zombies did eat all of theirs already – to the least extent. That happened, yes – when I was so into Queen back in high school, presumably around October 2007 and onwards… Or even a year earlier when I was listening to Michae...
