Neil Young and Promise of the Real will release a live album and companion concert film on August 5th.
Plans for Noise and Flowers, which documents their 2019 European tour, were initially revealed back in September 2020. At the time, it was expected to arrive in early 2021.
Young had this to say about the short European tour during which Noise and Flowers was recorded. It began just a week after the death of his longtime manager, Elliot Roberts: “[My wife, Daryl Hannah] and I were on the bus, on our way to New York to catch a plane to Europe, when we got the call… After returning to the funeral for our beloved Elliot, we got on the plane and left for the tour. During the tour, we had a poster of Elliot on a road case, right where he always stood during our shows. Everyone who was with us felt that this tour was amazing for its great vibe. The Real and I delivered for Elliot.”
The album will be available as one-CD or two-LPs, the film as a stand-alone Blu-Ray or as part of a deluxe box set that includes all three formats. A performance of “From Hank to Hendrix” from the film has been posted on YouTube.
