On Friday, May 27th at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, WFUV will present the playback of Neil Young + The Promise Of The Real's upcoming release, EARTH, in its entirety in Pono high definition fidelity audio. Young will introduce the evening with his insights and explanation of the making of EARTH via an interview with WFUV's Carmel Holt.
This event will take place in the Abbey Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture garden during "UNIQLO Free FridayNights". Admission is free from 4:00 - 8:00p.m. The line for UNIQLO Friday Night tickets begins at the Museum's 54th Street entrance (between 5th and 6th Avenues). Your UNIQLO Friday Night ticket permits entryto all Museum galleries and exhibitions as well as this special event, space permitting. NOTE: Tickets are issued on a first come, first-served basis. The Sculpture Garden will close when it reached maximum capacity. This is a listening playback experience and not a live performance.
EARTH features performances of songs from a range of Young's albums, including last year's The Monsanto Years, 1990's Ragged Glory, and 1970's After the Gold Rush. The audio was captured during Young's 2015 tour with The Promise of the Real, fronted by Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar) and Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals) - Willie Nelson's sons. The tour included Young performing solo and with the band for a full electric show.
A new take on some of Young's most beloved songs, EARTHfeatures the live recordings, along with added musical overdubs, as well as sounds of the earth, such as city sounds like car horns, sounds of insects, and ANIMAL sounds from bears, birds, crickets, bees, horses, cows - creating a very strange, yet beautiful atmosphere.
EARTH will be released on CD and vinyl, as well as via Tidal and Young's PonoMusic Store, where it is currently available for pre-order.
Also on June 24th, Young will release two rare films - the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic musical comedy Human Highway and the concert feature Rust Never Sleeps - for the first time on DVD and Blu-Ray via Reprise Records. Neither film has been available or viewed in years. Human Highway is Young's 1982 comedy starring Russ Tamblyn, Charlotte Stewart, Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, and Devo, which has been digitally restored for the DVD and Blu-Ray release. Rust Never Sleeps is the full-length feature about Young's 1978 concert tour and includes such classic young Young's most popular songs, showcasing classic hits such as "I Am a Child," featuring Crazy Horse, "Cinnamon Girl," "Like A Hurricane" and both the acoustic and electric versions of his landmark song "Hey Hey, My My." Both are currently available for pre-order through the Neil Young Store and Amazon.com.
