Hello, Conan O'Brien here.
-
I'm very excited because I'm about to do
-
what I've never done before, an unboxing video.
-
I know these are huge.
-
I've never done one, but I'm making an exception
-
because I'm a massive Neil Young fan
-
and his box set "Return to Greendale" is coming out.
-
It's a live album and concert film
-
of the historic 2003 tour of Greendale,
-
which was Neil Young's 25th studio album.
-
He toured with Crazy Horse, very exciting.
-
This amazing box set was released on November 6th.
-
Greendale of course,
-
very poignant story about a fictional small town
-
in California, following a family, an opera if you will,
-
and following their concerns
-
and their sort of dealing with the environment,
-
the changes in the environment,
-
and really a passion project of Neil's
-
and excited to see what's in here.
-
I got my unboxing video blade right here.
-
And by the way, this is such an occasion
-
that Neil Young himself has agreed to be present
-
sitting in my audience for this unboxing
-
of "Return to Greendale."
-
I think he's right there.
-
Look at him.
-
He looks thrilled.
-
It may appear to you at home that
-
that's just a cardboard cutout of Neil Young.
-
I assure you that's the real Neil Young.
-
He just hasn't had his coffee yet.
-
Let's get started.
-
This is good.
-
Let's cut through the red tape, as they say.
-
I'm cutting through this box right here.
-
This was sent to me and oh my god, this is my favorite part.
-
The bubbles.
-
(bubbles crunch)
-
Sorry, here we go.
-
Oh, this is very nice.
-
Look at this presentation, "Return to Greendale,"
-
Neil Young, Crazy Horse.
-
This is the actual box set itself.
-
This will have, it's really the deluxe edition.
-
It's got the film.
-
Let's open this sucker up.
-
Find out what's going on.
-
I love the exterior.
-
I also love using this blade because it shows me as a man
-
who knows how to use a knife.
-
And let's take a look, gorgeous, gorgeous.
-
This is exciting.
-
All right, checkin' it out right here.
-
Here we go.
-
Okay, beautiful.
-
Let me check this out.
-
I'm gonna use this.
-
Okay, here you have all the songs, of course.
-
This is beautiful vinyl, Neil Young, Crazy Horse,
-
and it has to be on vinyl.
-
Neil is passionate about that
-
and no better way to listen to Neil and Crazy Horse.
-
And then I believe right here, we have gorgeous.
-
This must be...
-
I'm guessing this is the film right here.
-
I think these are the films.
-
Can't be sure, but there's a great film,
-
Neil Young, Crazy Horse.
-
I wanna open this up because I'm just curious
-
if there's more info in here because this is a...
-
This tells a great story.
-
It's a concert video and we're trying to...
-
Okay, gorgeous.
-
So this beautiful representation photograph
-
of the concert itself, and then album here with the words,
-
love that, beautiful.
-
And again, gorgeous vinyl, beautiful vinyl, right?
-
I'm gonna be careful with that.
-
Absolutely, I love this.
-
I love the smell of vinyl.
-
Get a good whiff of that.
-
That's a good smelling vinyl right there and really sweet.
-
This will be the film, the documentary that goes with it,
-
where you get to see basically this family in a small town
-
and you get to follow them through their lives
-
and see what's happening to their land.
-
This is a great...
-
This is a great thing to have and now I have it
-
unless cardboard Neil Young takes it back and says,
-
"This was only for promotional purposes,"
-
which could happen, but this is really cool.
-
I will treasure this if I'm allowed to keep it.
-
And I will play this on my record player
-
'cause I do love vinyl, beautiful.
-
I'm even keeping the bubble wrap,
-
and let's maybe get Neil to sign this for me.
-
I don't know if he can sign bubble wrap.
-
I hope he can.
-
Anyway, "Return to Greendale," Neil Young, Crazy Horse.
-
I have one, get one.
-
