Everyone just take a few minutes to think about all the songs Neil has created over the many years. Make a list in your head. Look at a list of his top 100 songs. It's prolific. There are so, so many great, and diverse, tunes. Some day he will be recognized as the greatest songwriter in rock history. Yep, even higher than that guy Bob who hasn't produced nearly as many good songs as ma boy Neil.
The drummer is fucking outstanding on this version! I love how truly great songs grow in time. This is like a 4 min song originally... What a great performance!!
Jim Keltner is one of the greats, highly underrated. He does stuff that other drummers wouldn't do, or his playing is very unorthodox, but totally fluid. One of my drumming heroes.
Neil is like a fine wine, he only gets better with age. This is a great live version of one of his top 3 songs. As it is better to burn out than fade away!
It is practically a sin to have the luxury of being able to sit here and watch Neil Young give us his very best for literally nothing. This is most definitely one of his best songs with out Crazy Horse. Thank you so much Neil, you truly are a Master!
Everyone here is at the top of their game. This could easily be a studio cut with such perfect balance in the various volumes and execution of it so natural and flawless. .
Well actually there are a number of young artists covering Neils Songs ... like ruclips.net/video/iliCadW0s5Q/видео.html these two do a really good cover of many of Neils songs ...
Im taking my 15 year old to preach the virtuoso of uncle Neil in a little over a month from now and this is his homework. He’s just as excited as his old man is and it’s a speechless moment for me, really is.
60yrs old now, I can't tell you who were the greatest guitarists ever, outside of Hendrix, Page, Stevie, and so many others, but I can tell you who were and are my favorites. Hendrix, Page, Lifeson, Halen, Slash, Rhodes, Gilmour, Blackmore, Wylde, and Neil Young. I hope you like that list of my favorites. Again, its my favs, not saying they were better or worse because its all about what we like and what we want to hear. There is probably at least a hundred lead guitarists that are better than all these guys. But these my favs. BTW since I heard Hendrix All Along the Watch Tower when I was 12, it has always been my favorite song, number 2 is The Song Remains the Same, 3rd is Fade to Black by Metallica. Everything I wrote in the comment will never change, I will go to my grave with it. Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special considerations on my fav guitars would be John Denver, Roy Clark, Trower, Mason, Angus, and Schenker from the Scorpions, who I believe started my favorite genre Hair Band Music with UFO.
Neil can teach a lot about song dynamics within a song to experienced musicians including some of his contemporaries, just by example. Most bands try to peak their performances with a few select songs, while Neil peaks within songs ALL NIGHT!!! Then you have this GREAT band letting him go anyplace he wants with really cool glassy sounding tube distorted solos and chordal bliss..... I love Neil with the Horse, but this is different musicianship altogether as some really fine players actually have Neil raising his game, while with the Horse it is the other way around. Neither is bad, but for a song like Words, this band fits the bill..... Glad to have seen this in Milwaukee same tour. Magic!
So sad about Donald "Duck" Dunn as this performance with Neil Young makes you realize the quality of Muzak we have had the pleasure to enjoy. RIP Duck a masterful base player that will be missed....
Getting to hear Neil Young at Red Rocks has always been something special. He'd play through storms and always put a great show and kept playing! Ths concert was great because of songs like this, "Bad Fog of Loneliness, World on a String, some of his lesser known songs. May have been the last time I saw the great Donald Duck Dunn. R.I.P. brother
My wife had the experience of working for Donald "Duck" Dunn's Physician years ago, and spoke about him coming to the office, just being a "regular" guy.....never giving a clue to his Rock and Roll hall of fame membership. RIP Duck
You'll find that with musicians like him, they're not looking to be in the spotlight, they are just regular people, that are really good at their job. Jim Keltner seems to be very down to earth and just cool guy.
I was there as well, I thought they may have to cancel the show. Instead, they went on, one of his best shows with the late great Donald "Duck" Dunn and the late Ben Keith on steel.
...effortlessly, gorgeous and blended , its a potion... keeps life going for us all. " Just because there's snow on the roof...doesn't mean the fire's gone out, inside"
un des plus grands morceaux, un vrai délire musical, une épopée issu de l'un des meilleurs albums de tous les temps par ce génial et sacré Neil Young !
Seems like every classic song I go to watch live no matter who it’s by they have the great Donald “Duck” Dunn playing bass live speaks volumes on his work and his versatility
........ Fast jeden Sonntag wird es gegen 10 Uhr in der Arndtstr. laut. Norbert, immerhin schon 73 , lässt Neil Youngs " Words" raus..... In dieser Zeit gehe ich immer Brötchen holen und freue mich, wenn ich mithören kann!
Someone and someone were down by the pond Looking for something to plant in the lawn. Out in the fields they were turning the soil I'm sitting here hoping this water will boil When I look through the windows and out on the road They're bringing me presents and saying hello. Singing words, words between the lines of age. Words, words between the lines of age. If I was a junkman selling you cars, Washing your windows and shining your stars, Thinking your mind was my own in a dream What would you wonder and how would it seem? Living in castles a bit at a time The King started laughing and talking in rhyme. Singing words, words between the lines of age. Words, words between the lines of age.
Words is without doubt one of Neils beat songs top 10 live for sure. Beautiful listen Neil the genius as always. The Goat Neil never see his like again.
My band specialized in playing the more obscure stuff by Neil, Dylan, Dead, Van, etc. "Words" was one of 'em. Always love hearing the artist themselves do their more obscure stuff!
Each version of this has me mesmerized Neil Young , Crazy Hoese and other friends Wow, blows me away Absolutely love this song in any form, and they si bauk tgis!
My man Jim Keltner!!!😃🥁🥁🥁 this iZ awesome cuZ I've always wanted to see/hear him play this particular track... the only song by Neil Young that I really like!!!
May not agree with all Neil's politics but would be great for him to lead a new healing the nation tour. Neil's artistry is is unbelievable and his music has the ability to heal this nation. He has understood the underlying pain of this nation trying to reconcile with its history and future all at once
THANK YOU Guillermo ferrer for turning this version onto the WORLD TY gracias acousitcs @ red rocks AMAZING as always!!! saw him solo there in 1992 AMAZING! ty for sharing this w/the WORLD on YT! exellente
Tommy Haynes I believe it's 6/8 and 5/8. You can tell as it is counted as 1,2,3. 4,5,6 rather than 1,2. 3,4. 5,6. Each beat is a dotted crotchet, rather than a a crotchet.
Yes the singing part is faster. And sometimes in the middle of it. Neil talks about it in video in his ranch . The video is posted in here(YT) in some place.
Neil deserves his own personal Hall of Fame.

Could spend eternity listening to this masterpiece
Omg, me too. My husband and I were lucky to see him in Phoenix back in 2000.
It is a masterpiece ... and if you have ever tried to put together a cover ... the tempo changes are a real challenge.
One of my absolute favourite Young songs, incredible.

True. Neil has over 1200 songs and counting. Twice as many as Dylan . Plus Neil ROCKS.
NIEL YOUNG STILL rockin in the free world
no one can dance and play solo's better than the man young

I never get sick of this version and can't help crying when I hear it. Thank you Mr. Ferrer, thank you Neil.
Jim Keltner definitely gives Neil a solid rock from where to hold onto and be Neil Young.
Neil is like a fine wine, he only gets better with age. This is a great live version of one of his top 3 songs. As it is better to burn out than fade away!
It is practically a sin to have the luxury of being able to sit here and watch Neil Young give us his very best for literally nothing. This is most definitely one of his best songs with out Crazy Horse. Thank you so much Neil, you truly are a Master!
He makes it up by charging 200 dollars for a back row ticket and 1400 dollars for front row.
@@danielhosking7257
He doesn't charge that, the venue does.
Everyone here is at the top of their game.
This could easily be a studio cut with such perfect balance in the various volumes and execution of it so natural and flawless. .

Oh shit, I forgot Peter Kath and Richrath. See what I mean, there are so many.
OMG how did I forget the riff master Iomi? It goes on and on and on and on. Just watched a Blackmore solo, common.
Neil Young absolutely immense talent. Thank you.
Neil Young is was always will be “Rock On”! Between the lions of age.
I have seen Neil several times but never has he done words. to see that at red rocks what a treat that would have been.
En 1972 , avoir 17 ans , en France , et entendre ce chef-d'oeuvre pour la premiére fois , vous oubliez votre acné ...
Moi aussi j'ai été littéralement scotché même si je n'avais que 11 ans ☺☺

Such is Neil...! He played it at Camden NJ, a couple of years ago (2015) it always sounds unbelievable.
He played this song for about 20 minutes, at his age. He is the greatest rock and roller of all times!

NO KIDDING! Not a wasted movement, fluid playing at it's finest.
Many times Jim K. has been "sent in" to rescue the recording of songs, whole album projects, and to salvage pesky tours. Hats off !
what a drummer!!
Exactly..If you go see a show, and Keltner or Gadd is behind the kit, you're gonna be mesmerized by their excellence...
Sublime
So Good!! Thank You!!
Perfection...
Thanks for this masterpiece.

Great tune... and Long Grain pickin' away on the pedal steel... Love it!
Absolutely perfect
Spectacular
Cada version que escucho llega un poco mas profundo .... seria una de las canciones que pondria en mi funeral
Ever tried playing it. It's tricky because the instrumental section alternates between 6/4 and 5/4 . one bar of 6/4 then one of 5/4
Tommy Haynes I believe it's 6/8 and 5/8. You can tell as it is counted as 1,2,3. 4,5,6 rather than 1,2. 3,4. 5,6. Each beat is a dotted crotchet, rather than a a crotchet.
Daniel Fry Really , interesting !
Daniel Fry yes, this sounds right to me. I'm counting 11 beats during the instrumentals and then 8 during the chorus
Yes the singing part is faster. And sometimes in the middle of it. Neil talks about it in video in his ranch . The video is posted in here(YT) in some place.
