from a 4 star review in the
October issue of Record Collector magazine - "When Neil Young isn't
astounding us anymore, it's nice to find something related to him
that does ... essential for all Rusties."
What satisfied
customers have told us Great stuff. Fantastic
to have an updated version of this great book. Thanks! Arrived promptly, very well packed & great book,
many thanks!! Hi - I got my copy last Friday! Fantastic
work!!! Thank you very much Thanks Pete …
the book arrived here down under this week – awesome
work. Hi there, thanks for fast shipping! Again… a
fantastic book, that makes my heart jumping! Thanks to Pete Long a
lot! The book's here, thanks so much! It's a
phenomenal improvement on the first edition, just incredible.
Finally I've found some time to look into the new edition of
GOTR. It's a wonderful book, much improved over the first edition.
Congratulations.
The first edition of
Ghosts On The Road
was published in 1996 and
immediately became recognised as a valuable resource for Neil Young
enthusiasts worldwide. The updated and revised edition will be
published in early 2007 and will contain additional chapters
relating to the years 1996 through to 2006 together with
considerable expansion of many previous chapters. Author Pete Long
has spent a good deal of time revising particular sections of the
book and his work on the Buffalo Springfield box set and an article
in the NYAS magazine Broken Arrow regarding the Time Fades Away tour
in 1973 bear testimony to the expansion.
The author says "I could only justify offering a
revised version if it contained sufficient extra information.
I did not want anyone, particularly those who already had a copy of
the first edition, to feel that they were not getting a
significantly improved book."
With over 520 pages (the first edition ran to 282) the
book has a number of additional features. While the basic layout and
style remain unchanged there are now areas included for nearly all
shows performed post 1969. Virtually all missing or incomplete set
lists from 1983 onwards have been completed although we would love
to hear from anyone who has information related to a number of items
listed below. In addition song charts for all the major tours
have been included as appendices. Sample pages from Chapter 13
can be viewed (Adobe Acrobat is required for this - if you have not
got this installed, Get
Adobe Acrobat Reader here.) together with the corresponding song
chart by using the button at the top left of this page or clicking
here.
Can you help with set lists, dates, venues
& support acts ? There is some information that is still
missing and it may well be that you can provide this for last minute
inclusion. We would love to hear from you if you have a confirmed
set list for any shows prior to 1976 that were incomplete in the
first edition - we have added a number from recordings that have
surfaced in recent years but you may know of other more obscure
items. Also needed are confirmed set lists for Purdue University,
West Lafayette, IN 16th September 1978, Clarkston, MI, 18th
September 1978, Sydney 16th March 1985, a complete set list for
Eugene 19th February 1989, a complete set list for the Paha Sapa
Music Festival in Rapid City, SD on 2nd July 1989, a complete
set list for the Marriott Marquis on 29th October 1996 and a
complete set list for the Gala Benefit at the American Museum of
Natural History in New York City, NY on 16th November
2005.
Also we are still
looking for confirmation of some show dates and venues and a
confirmation of support acts - a list of requirements may be found
here.
