About This Item
Neil Young + Promise Of The Real announce a new live album, Noise & Flowers, that captures the group in all their glory on their 2019 European tour. The will be accompanied by a similarly titled concert film that's included in the album's 2xLP+CD Deluxe Edition. Noise & Flowers documents a 9-date tour that began just two weeks after Young's lifetime friend and manager of more than 50 years, Elliot Roberts, passed away at age 76. Performing alongside a photograph of Roberts taped to his road case, Young approached each show as a celebratory memorial service to honor his late friend. It's a trek the legendary singer/songwriter describes as Inchwondrous.Inch InchPlaying in his memory [made it] one of the most special tours ever,Inch Young says in the album's liner notes. InchWe hit the road and took his great spirit with us into every song. This music belongs to no one. It's in the air. Every note was played for music's great friend, Elliot.Inch In paying tribute to the manager who guided Young's career for over a half-century, Noise & Flowers explores all corners of his vast discography. It balances all-timer anthems (InchMr. Soul,Inch InchHelpless,Inch InchRockin' in the Free WorldInch) with rarely aired '70s deep cuts (InchField of Opportunity,Inch InchOn the BeachInch) and '90s gems (InchFrom Hank to Hendrix,Inch InchThrow Your Hatred DownInch). His frequent backing band since 2015, Promise of the Real effectively bridges the extremes in Young's sound, infusing his raging rockers and country serenades with their casual brilliance and telepathic intuition.
