First time I heard Neil I was hit hiking through New Mexico a guy picked me up we smoked a joint and he put Neil young into the cassette deck in his old van it blew my mind he let me off in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night it was surreal to say the least just one more experience on the hippie trail !
Everytime I listen and watch these videos I want to go out to the club and listen to music. And then I think. Wait ain't gonna hear music like this too much anymore......
This is why Neil Young is one of the greatest of all time. Nobody puts as much passion and emotion into his performance as he does. When other musicians catch that "vibe" it becomes EPIC. This drummer is no different. I LOVE Neil Young!
Damn. One thing about Neil; he plays guitar in perpetual motion. Never have seen anyone that can play & move like he does; even from way back when he was with Crosby Stills, Nash &Young. Always be my #1 rockstar; Mr. Young; since the glorius 70's. Cheers!
@@steveclapper5424Love his playing. You think he is making a mistake but that’s just him. I used to laugh when my “guitarist” buddies said he sucks. I always said they just wished they suck that bad.
Niel Young is a true musician, he never got caught up in the fame, money, and the ego that most artists have now days. It's all about the tone. Neil is a legend.
The coolest thing is that he's playing like this even today. I just watched a concert he gave with Crazy Horse last year at age 75! Memo to Neil: Keep shredding till you're a 100! What a legend!
Mein Gott wie gut kann ein Musiker sein, so wahr, so beeindruckend. Mir kommen die Tränen wie gut Neil hier spielt.....Wahnsinn. Bleib uns noch lang erhalten. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I remember working as a stage manager for local promoter in my town back in the late 70s, during the Rust Never Sleeps Tour. It was in October during the World Series. After sound check, instead of rubbing elbows with the media, label big shots, A&R people and 'hangers on', Neil came into the crew room and asked if he could watch the game with us. Well, duh! Yeah. What an incredibly humble and down to earth human being- with so fucking much talent.i still have the play list he scribbled.
The kids today don't know how lucky they are to be exposed to great music so easily thru IT , us 60 + had to find out thru word of mouth and music papers and books then had to save up pocket money and buy one record a week !!!!! Then maybe lend out records never to get them back !!! LONG LIVE ROCK
yes! and just as hard in new zealand, at least you had live venues there and actual bands! my 2nd yr in high school i started babystting for a couple who had 1st record collection i ever met.. it was 1972 and they even had zeppelin, i couldn't get there fast enough after school on thursdays, .. our tv had one b/w programme per week 1969-71 where overseas pop artists were 'covered' by a couple of bands, a few singers, and some dancing girls ... i laugh so much thinking about back then, comparing it with whats available to kids today
Outstanding, to Neil Young and the other guitarists and also to all the band, drums, organ, backround singers. Thank you to all of you, what a wonderful performance.
@denisestickel6288 - Just to stick a pin in it, let’s mention the band. It’s Booker T and the MG’s, a band that has been around since about 1962, and the originators of the unique Stax Sound. With the exception of Booker T. Jones, the band members have changed over the years, but all members have always been among the cream of the crop. In the video are Booker T. Jones on the Hammond Organ, Steve Cropper on guitar, the late Donald “Duck” Dunn on bass and Steve Potts on drums. It hardly gets better. I had the distinct pleasure to have a beer with Mr. Jones in a bar at San Francisco International Airport around 1965 (I was underage, he was just old enough). This was a couple of years after his hit “Green Onions”. He was great to talk to and real nice man to a dumb kid, even though I was only three years younger than him. The backup singers… Peggi Young, Neil’s late wife and Amber Young, Neil’s daughter.
This song as many have been in the past 6 months every day i discover a diamond a gold nugget from neils treasurr of songs, how can you describe genius or a master at his craft people need to realize how special man is, he can play any type off music and delivered performances that are breath taking, no one else is comparable, his the top of the pyramid ❤
I really enjoyed his music when I was university student, early of 20th. Still now, neil young is one of greatest musicians in the 20th century and hope to keep going his wonderful plays. Thanks for bob dylan and neil young.
“I’m listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound, someone’s always yelling, turn it down (Highlands)”. Now we know which song Zimmie was listening to 😂
@@dennisbenjamin-nz9do saw Neil do a solo show in San Francisco some years back. He was using a pump organ and doing his material. Amazing man. Amazing artist.
@@rikstrange662 went to see Young in Helsinki a couple of years back with my son. I knew what to expect, but my son was completely blown away by a great performance ✌️
Always approaches the electric guitar with a raw melodic fluidity. And when he rocks iconically on stage, you think he's going to lose balance, but that's the cinnamon lover's style
Every person truly would like to perform such a iconic Song , sung by the most famous Song writers and Guitar players , Along the Watch Tower is only for the best of Artists that can knock this performance of out of the Park , Neil Young simply shows his most divine brilliance of true Artistry, his Guitar performance is surely his heart and soul . Give our True Canadian artist a show of applause to the Greatest ever born with also past performers of our time in Canada. Thank you Neil Young , Outstanding Life and Career you have brought to all in understanding your true Fame , Talents, and your Heritage. Proud to knowing a icon like yourself .🇨🇦 Incredibly a Gift to one of the Greatest Rock performers of our time. Bravo Bravo Bravo.
I've loved Neil for 50 years. An amazingly strong body of work. Consistently strong song writing. Consistently performing energy filled live shows. And consistently turning out the most inept guitars solos imaginable.
Not seeing him live yet is my most foolish mistake. No one can play guitar like him - pure emotion, he knows that traditional technique is but one of many tools and so he is truly free to create with no inhibitions. Wherever the song's emotions go is where he takes the guitar, every time.
This man puts his mark on this great song he puts his life and soul into any concert he does just pure entertainment ever time pure class I say no more
I love seeing each breathe he takes and exhales in the cold air as a white vapor escapes into the night. It is like a spirit of words here and gone in an instant never to repeated the same way again.................
saw them play this as the encore in Phoenix a few years ago. I was with my son and by the end we were crying tears of joy it was so good. Thanks Neil for giving us that shared moment.
Was Blessed to see Mr Neil Young twice in the early 70s with CSN&Y! Truly Awesome! Chicago & Milwaukee County Stadium! Simply unreal & AWESOME! Hail Neil Young!!!
I've been in love with and listening to Neil young for 53 years now. Nobody else comes even close to the feeling I get from him. Love you Neil
So, your are my competition. Now, I know. 🙃
I've seen him live he's a musical wizard
@Myra I'm honored to have the kind of support you show me. How are you doing today?
This is rocking at its finest .What a national treasure Neil has become.
Good combo, Neil rocking to Dylan!
Yeah, another awesome music maker from Winnipeg.
I agree

Greatest song ever, no matter who is doing the cover. Neil is one of my favorite covers because of the sound of his beautiful guitar sound.
Such a raw performance. Beautiful. BD & JH channeled to NY. Once in a lifetime! No barriers.
I'm just glad Neil Young ever existed & Jimi Hendrix & Bob Dylan...in no particular order of course
Dave matthews
There are some great versions from the Jeff Healy Band. You might look up for it.
Everytime I listen and watch these videos I want to go out to the club and listen to music. And then I think. Wait ain't gonna hear music like this too much anymore......
todays crap isnt even music, its loud talking along with auto tune
@@janeybreitzman5629yeah its mostly shit alright, cant stand all the (c)rap and hip hop garbage.
Nope, we were lucky to have been born in this era, didn't know it at the time, but, WE DO NOW!!

I like your neighbors already

I’m a crazy fan of Neil Young and mostly playing this Dylan’s song.
Still rocking in the free world! 2023
Now 2024 too-he’s on tour baby!
.... and now into 2024. Over 55 years & still ROCKING !!!
Ain’t so free anymore.
This is why Neil Young is one of the greatest of all time. Nobody puts as much passion and emotion into his performance as he does. When other musicians catch that "vibe" it becomes EPIC. This drummer is no different. I LOVE Neil Young!

And there are no doubts about who is playing.

He's astounding
If this doesn't touch you - you're not human. AMAZING!
That drummer is just fantastic!❤
Neil Young is the best ever and Thank you. I am Fan since 68.
Me too my man
All brothers and sisters on that stage!!!
People today need to learn the lesson from my generation.
Well said. Music unites all of us.
Amen
Neil invited me in for a beer when i took him room service at the Dayton Beach Hilton in 1980 somthing. Cool Dude.
The older i get the less i care , it boils down to how much my spine tingles. The older i get the more i love you Neil Young!
👍
Neil was playing grunge,before the term had been invented.
He da man❤❤❤
That's why Pearl jam couldn't wait to work with him
From Spain in 2024. I’m 30. I will never forget the nights with my father listening to this. You should be eternal Neil
Sounds like a great Dad had a great Son! 👍🍻
KEEP the legend going. To your kids and grandkids...Neil's music will live on...
I believe that’s the late Donald Dunn on base and Booker T. Jones on organ, from Booker T & the MGs, legendary musicians in their own right.
right; Duck Dunn died in 2011, I think; Booker T is still with us
He toured with Booker T and the M.G.s as his backup band one summer. One of the very first acts at Shoreline I think.
looks like it and there's a duck on the stack at 3:29 but that means the date of September 2012 is wrong more likely 2002
The music that accompanied me for the last 50 or so years. We are blessed. Thank you Neil.
Is that Donald Duck Dunn on bass?
Right up there with Traffic and the Allman’s!
Going to a Neil Young concert is like going to another universe for the night
Niel Young is a true musician, he never got caught up in the fame, money, and the ego that most artists have now days. It's all about the tone. Neil is a legend.
I never could understand what all the fuss was about him. TO each HIS OWN
Shakey.... fucking legend. And don't give a fuck. Love Neil Young.
Neil is talent, genius and LEGEND!!!
Fame, money and ego is American.
Oh yeah, Neil has no ego.
I’m sorry folks but this is the greatest rock and roll composer/performer of them all!
They took this tune to the HIGHEST level . This is absolutely ☢️☢️Nuclear ☢️☢️!!!
Thank you Neil for so many years of the best rock. Keep on rocking in the free world.
@Nancy Thank you for the cheers and incredible love. How are you today?
From southern man on 4 way street to this? Neil you've been so damn good for so long! What an honor listening to you!
That guitar howls just like the wind in that absolute piece of art!
My Neighbors Love this so much they a brick through my window to hear it better !!
Real music with real backup artists real lead and real soul. Miss those days.
The coolest thing is that he's playing like this even today. I just watched a concert he gave with Crazy Horse last year at age 75! Memo to Neil: Keep shredding till you're a 100! What a legend!
Neil’s not a shredder. Every note counts.
Best rendition ever.
That's amazeing thank you for shareing ..75 wow hes great thank.you again
...rock and roll will never die.
Rocking in the free world 🗺 👍😎🌍👌😍😘

Yeah, but local music isn't thriving like it used to, live I mean. It's no longer an average weekend to go see live music for most people.
That brutal, raw, guitar sound is unmistakeably Neil and only Neil. Making myself deaf on it since I could play it back in 1972.
Zanthxs um. Yup. Neal young is the ultimate poet and rocker, even Dylan and the late great sir John acknowledge so.LoveLoveLoveIS
Correction: Neil and Old Black. Love the way the roadie brings him out like the holy grail...
Zanthxs, what better to deafen yourself with ???!!!
Yep, he sounds like a drunk, wounded wildebeest looking for his car keys... but in a good way.
Twanggggg guitar hard strokes, Neil energy personified.
A Poncho-Shirt Guitar Ghost among all his famous brothers. Love from Vienna - this music will never die!
Legend/musical god/changed my life growing up not necessarily in a good manner but I would have never changed it.Stay healthy Neil.
Look at this man. He's in love with his job and in love with his spirit. That's why we love him. So much.
yes, he is! He is a RocK,nRoll Diamond, Dynamite, Dynamo...did you see him LIVE?
Rock in the free world😁

When the music giants play. That's how it sounds forever.
I never really appreciated how powerful this song was until I heard Neil Young play it live
Its been powerful for over nearly 60 years since Bob wrote it and Jimi took ownership
My favourite guitar thug, at it again! One of the GOATs.
This is a fantastic "Neil Young version" of a fantastic song from an amazing songwriter, further given meaning by a legendary guitarplayer/singer.

One of the greatest of the greats. Thank you Neil for decades of outstanding music.
Neil Young, half man, half bear.
this is the greatest live rock performance of all time-watching this sends shivers up my spine
Wauw, dankjewel. Dit is waar het om gaat!!!
the eternal paradox of Neil Young: the man who can go from soulful ballad to grunge in the twinkling of an eye!!
Perfect musician x
The best.
He's a peasant, no more.

I'm grateful I found this before I died.

Exactly. He’s covering the Hendrix version of the Dylan song. Love it.

I have watched this time and time again and never tire of it, Neil is genius. 👍
Neil's specialty: Moving around while playing the guitar.. Totally, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that song.Neil always brings together a Hi-Class band and they never hold back from you feeling the power being there.Awesome.
Well said, something utterly dreamlike about him, but so grounded in the here and now. Just rare stuff.
This man puts his mark on this great song he puts his life and soul into any concert he does just pure entertainment ever time pure class I say no more
