Check on Neil's website for his quirky 10 minute promo for the CD/BLUE RAY version - track 12 'Grey Riders' is a blistering vintage Neil unreleased gem - as ever going his own way in the mid 80s whilst signed to Geffen.

I saw the International Harvester tour at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee in '85. He was with Waylon. It was great, but hard-core Neil idiots next to us (hey, it's not like I don't want to hear that side too, finally did last tour) was making it tough to enjoy. But it was tremendous. I vaguely remember Grey Riders being amazing. This is what we heard:

1985-08-09, Wisconsin State Fair Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
w/ The International Harvesters

Country Home / Comes A Time / Lookin' For A Love / Bound For Glory / Heart Of Gold / Barstool Blues / Southern Pacific / Once An Angel / The Needle And The Damage Done / Sugar Mountain / Helpless / Nothing Is Perfect / California Sunset / Down By The River / Old Man / Powderfinger / Get Back To The Country / Grey Riders 

and if you don't have Old Ways, get it, a greatly underrated album. Cheers, Will

There was actually an episode of Austin City Limits with the International Harvesters. Here's hoping we get a DVD of that someday.

I read about that a while back Adam , when i already owned and loved several Live Austin Tx Dvd's , i've dreamt of seeing it ever since ! What a joy that would be !

Will , that setlist is amazing and i think that would be my ultimate Neil tour !

Reason being :

As a young fan of the likes of The Smiths/Cocteau Twins/The Cure  in the mid 80's , i was an avid reader of Melody Maker ( a British weekly music paper). Through this i got into that group of bands with a Country-ish tinge , Long Ryders , Green On Red etc. Whilst reading interviews with these guys , they would always mention Neil Young and his massive influence on their music . This made me very curious but due to finances and buying tons of new stuff at the time , i didnt actually check the guy out. Then , along came Old Ways. Country music had started to intrigue me and the prospect of this album , well , it thrilled me. I bought the record the week it came out and i absolutely loved it to bits and i still do . I have since bought 90% of the mans output but Old Ways has a special place in my heart and its "Country" Neil i still love the best . Old Ways and American StarsnBars,.......wow ! It was weird in subsequent years hearing that some diehard Neil fans hated his direction in these years , i came on board at this time so i see neil in that light , always will !

I'm certainly looking forward to A Treasure more than any of the other Archives Live  albums and hope for lots more on Archives 2 , lots of unreleased "country" Neil studio stuff , i hope.........
