Neil Young goes record shopping, finds his own bootlegs (1972)

Музыка

It looks like the original video of this got removed from KZread for some reason and I wanted to re-upload it.
In this video allegedly filmed in 1972, Neil Young goes shopping at a record store and finds his own bootlegs, confronting the clerk and walking out of the store with the record before calling the manager. If anyone knows where/when exactly this takes place I'd love to know.

    @@studio11_ I stand corrected. I also noticed that in the opening footage, and carrying on for a little while, there's a hair fluttering in the gate at the bottom. Also, a flash frame is visible between the shot of the record store without Young and the one of him in the store. There is a frame line visible in the early footage. Interestingly, the hair in the gate disappears (which is a little unusual because once present they almost never go away on their own). I see the 24 FPS you speak of (the repeated 4th frame going frame by frame). I also notice what might be an A-B roll edit artifact on the cut when he's showing the bootleg to the guy over by the bin. But otherwise this is extraordinarily clean 16mm footage with very little grain noticeable. The dirt specks you refer to occur very rarely. I also find it odd that the transition from the lighting of the record store and the outdoor night footage is so seamless. Usually with film there would have to be a major adjustment. Also, in filming under florescent light, there's usually a green tinge. 16mm reversal stock was common in this era (no negative). It would be very interesting to know how this footage survived in such a pristine condition for so long and how it was transferred to video.

That said, as I mention further on, I don't believe this clip is "as represented". It all seems staged to me. Someone comes into the store with a camera (they were large and impossible to hide in the 70's and there's not a single reference to "What are you doing with a camera in here?"). Neil walks out and then the employee follows slowly and Young is just sort of hanging around. I didn't get it at first, but I think we've been conned! Hahahaha.

    For anyone curious, this shop existed for several years in the late 60's/early 70's. It was called "Stereo Cartape", which originally had the address of 1454 N McCadden Place, around the corner from Sunset Blvd, which is the side entrance of this building. By 1972, the main entrance was on Sunset Blvd. Due to its proximity to Sunset Strip, it actually wasn't all that unusual for a Neil Young to stop in. The building has since been demolished.

What a lot of people really take for granted right now is the fact that we are going to have TOO MUCH documentation of this era because everyone now has a half-professional camera in their pocket. Options like that did not exist until a little over a decade ago. This is the immersive type of footage that really puts you there in that moment.

    @@AlphonseSwedgen I don’t agree. I think the passage of time brings nostalgia. I’m 61 and my folks ( who lived til their 90s) used to say how much fun they had growing up. Yet they were born in 1918 and 1925.In lower working class east end Montreal. Mom too. Both to British immigrants. Dad was born during the last year of the Spanish flu and WW1 He worked at 12 to help support his family and did high school at night. My Moms parents were equally poor. Her Dad got a job as a machinist because he was a good footballer and the company team needed one. That was during the depression. My Dad told me they got welfare and he described how it worked. The welfare people came over , went thru the ice box and pantry , made his Mom empty her purse his Dad his wallet and then they’d decide how much to give them. It was a government thing just city volunteers. Pretty humiliating. Still they both talked about how great their childhood was and all the things they did. Dances. Skating skiing going ‘up town’ visiting the countryside. Listening to Big Band tunes. My Dad was in the RCAF during WW2 and eventually became an educator. We had a small house on the suburbs growing up and didn’t have a lot but didn’t really care. So really I think we nostalgicize our youth regardless of its short comings.

    @@johngore7744 That's true. My grandparents were the same. Didn't have much in the way of things, but could tell a million stories about growing up in the 50's/60's. I more so mean from my perspective, I find it hard to imagine exactly what would make people nostalgic about now. Like, taking music for example. Every generation ties big significance to the music - or even musical subculture - they grew up on, because it also carries memories involving your friends that liked similar stuff. People growing up in the 70s had progressive, disco, hard rock, country, art rockers like Zappa and Bowie; the 80s kids fell in with the metalheads, punks or goths; 90s kids had hip hop, alternative, grunge, etc. I feel like popular music has been stagnating for most of my life (28 years) and has just been more of the same. Bland, unoriginal or actively irritating. Hell, even I spent most of my time listening to music that came out before I was even born, as did all my close friends. Do the current generation even have some cultural flashpoint they can identify with? I honestly don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling thinking back on the late 90s/ early 00s culture - any happy memories are solely associated with people and virtually nothing do with the culture at the time. People can make you feel nostalgia, but a more general sense of it relating to a specific time in history? I think it would have to have some personal cultural significance to you.

    At the end, Neil says I heard they sometimes sell these at swap meets, clerk says OH, GOD YES, then he backtracks. And he works at a record store in the 70s and doesn't play records. And then he charges Neil Young for a broken candle, after illegally selling bootlegs of his work. Neil was amazingly calm. I guess even back then some people didn't understand the value of real music and artists, and that stealing is wrong. Today it's 100 million times worse, and very few people care.

I’d love to know what the “boss”, Barry, said on the phone to Neil and what this kid thought after he found out who was in the store. I hope he regretted trying to pass the buck and not engaging. This is an example though of how guys functioned back in the day. They didn’t really listen very well and they didn’t engage. It’s almost like the reptilian brain was in their forehead. Additionally, everything was about the job. Amazing, so well captured and not much of it about a celebrity, mostly about society.

He 100% is aware of who that man is even if hypothetically he may or may not be a fan of his music. The other people in the store didn't seem to recognize Neil, since he sort of comes across as a down to earth regular guy, but they would probably be amazed upon realization as well.

    For context this record store was only about a mile from Laurel Canyon Blvd, where the entire early 70s singer songwriter movement lived - Joni Mitchell, Neal, Stills, Crosby, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Mama Cass, etc. Then further down Sunset another mile was the Sunset Strip with everybody else. "Blue Jay Way", playing on the radio, is just above Sunset in an area called "Birdland" where all the streets have bird names. George Harrison was renting a house from the Beatles US attorney Robert Fitzpatrick and wrote the song waiting for Eric and his buddies to get the house, very difficult to find up there. In 1971 this area was ground zero for the music business and for the whole 70s music scene. You could see anybody on the street - Hendrix, Townsend, Donovan, anyone. Though this record store thing was obviously staged, it was certainly not uncommon to see him walking around. At the Country Store on Laurel Canyon you could easily run into Jim Morrison buying a sandwich or Crosby buying munchies at midnight. In the other direction on Sunset a few miles down was the entire TV industry. All that stuff has mostly moved away.
