Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on?

If others follow do you think it will stick? It would cool if they could actually release a lower level version that isnt balls out loud on some of the disc space....thats one possible advantage to all the space, also plent of room for extra concert footage and ofcourse videos so now that this is starting when do the modds start along with the $10K+ "Super" players...interesting.

I think Blue Ray will catch on for sure but shame on Neil Young for "rewarding" his loyal fans by finally putting archives out in a format most people don't have yet. This follows his "quiet please" and "you can't leave your seats" concerts of late. I like a quiet crowd myself but he goes to far. After being a huge fan for 40 years he is on thin ice for my continued loyalty.
Hey Azmoon. He got on thin ice with me with his 80s output. Trans. Re-act-or. Everybody's Rockin'. Landing On Water.

I admire any artist who experiments with with new sounds and technologies, but these were phoned in.

He has always had a tendency to disappoint his fans and torpedo his own career after every great success.

I take anything he does with a grain of salt and enjoy the great music he has made and, although I own copies of all the bad ones, they don't see my turntable often.
I know in the 80's he was dealing with 2 young disabled kids that were/are basically in need of 100% attention and he was doing it pretty much full time. I admire him for that. Of course he could have just not issued anything for a few years (a la Lennon) and I'm sure we all would have understood.

I agree with you - listen to the great stuff - there is plenty.
Man, folks get mad when nobody champions a superior and new format then I see folks giving shame to Neil for jumping early on a very promising format...you cant win I guess.
