Neil Young goes back to 'War'
Neil Young 's most recent album, "Living With War," will get a second go-round, with a stripped down re-release of the disc set to launch, pointedly, as an Election Day digital download.
The reworked and remastered "Living With War-Raw"--featuring Young on guitar and vocals, Rick Rosas on bass and Chad Cromwell on drums--will be available through iTunes starting Nov. 7, along with four Young-directed videos of songs from the album.
The package will hit store shelves Dec. 19 with a limited edition CD/DVD combo disc featuring videos directed by Young for every song on the album. Both the digital and physical release will showcase a new mix of the "War" sessions, with each cut presented in its original, live-to-tape format.
November will also see the release of another hidden Young gem as the artist begins the long-rumored roll-out of his "Archives Performance" series with a classic performance from the past. "Live at the Fillmore East 1970" will feature selections from Young and Crazy Horse's March 6-7 run at the legendary New York venue.
The disc will also be available in a CD/DVD edition, according to Young's publicist. The special edition will sport a high-resolution audio mix, along with photos from the actual performance and other memorabilia.
Young is currently getting ready for his annual Bridge School Benefit. Set for Oct. 21-22 at its usual home, the San Francisco Bay Area's Shoreline Amphitheatre, this year's bill includes, in addition to Young, Pearl Jam, the Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters and others.
