  • 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.

  • (sighs)
