This was written about Neil's bandmate in Crazy Horse, Danny Whitten (also a gifted singer/songwriter) who got caught up in heroin to the point that Young had to fire Crazy Horse ("I hit the city and I lost my band"). When Neil recorded this and other songs for the Harvest album, he gave Whitten one more chance and brought him up to his ranch for the recording sessions, but Whitten was still too strung out. Neil sent him back to LA and gave him some money, which Whitten used to score the heroin that he OD'd on. That and another OD (CSNY roadie Bruce Berry) inspired the song (and the album) Tonight's The Night, which is pretty raw and rough going for some listeners.
When Neil put together the Decade compilation album, he included Needle And The Damage Done, and in his own handwritten liner notes for the album, he wrote "I am not a preacher, but drugs killed a lot of good men".
I’m guessing too that Neil was inspired by Bert Jansch’s song Needle of Death. Neil asked Bert to tour with him before the latter’s death.
Great explanation of what a song is about. Neil young couldn't have done better himself.
Danny wrote (and originally performed) the song made famous by Rod Stewart, “I Don’t Wanna Talk About It”.. Everything But The Girl did a really good cover of it too..
Tonight's the Night is one of my favorite records of all time. At first listen, it sounds like a rough-cut by a garage band recorded in one night. But with further listening, it unfolds with some of the most amazing lyrics and raw, unpolished music that Neil has produced. I have grown to love that record.
@@stpnwlf9 I like it too, but it is rough going for some people, either because Neil is so drunk that his normal off-pitch vocals get even more off-pitch, or because the subject matter is too close for some people. I've known people who were around hardcore drug use and couldn't stand to listen to Tonight's The Night because it was like opening up a raw wound for them.
Great song even greater artist
"Don't let it bring you down" is another good one Neil does acoustically as well.
Junkies like a setting son… one the best phrases uttered
The song stops short, just like the life he's singing about....
Yes Neil Young doesn't need no auto tuning. His voice is imperfectly perfect. Also top 5 songwriter all time.
Truer words were never spoken. They don't make them like Neil anymore.
Weird that works.
I mean this as a compliment though it doesn't sound like it. He had to be an incredible song writer to make that voice work. And I love his songs and his voice with his songs. If he wasn't such an incredible song writer it would have never worked. Same story with Bob Dylan.
RB....who says top 5?
@@michaelasay8587 I do. Why?
“every junkie’s like a setting sun” hits so hard, every time.
Glad to be here, glad to see y’all.
As an ex heroin addict this song hits like a mule, profound!
Every junkie's like a setting sun because they always promise a better tomorrow. Live with one and you'll definitely get that line
@@esssee9386 I was one (clean 21 years now) and watched many once brilliant friends slowly but surely sink their way down into death by overdose or suicide. It’s an inevitable part of the life.
That’s what it means to me.
i means the sun is slowly fadeing burning out just like addictt@@esssee9386
I grew up very sheltered, when I got out on my own I met a young man, just slightly older than I was, I knew he had come out from rehab and was clean when we met. He was musically talented, a couple of times he played the piano and sang some songs it was a moving experiance, then he slipped back into the drugs and he was like a zombie, just wandering around with no life in his eyes. One of the saddest things I've ever seen.
I love how Lexi described Neil's sound. Raw and amazing talent.
I could listen to just him, his guitar and harmonica, all damn day!!! Lhm.
*Neil did have an impact on music all those years ago. He stuck to doing his own thing and he did it well. Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young were all great...but I really did prefer Neil and his guitar. It felt much more intimate.*
Until you read Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon : Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream
One of my all time favorites, but I am a drug counselor and a recovering addict. So many lost over the years.
Unbelievably, Rick James was in a band with Neil Young called the The Mynah Birds. They were also roommates in Toronto. Neil Young was not the singer of that band, Rick James was. But Rick knew Neil was a great song writer and encouraged him to sing his own material
It's just so bizarre and crazy. I've told this to so many people and the reaction is always, "What?!? The "Super Freak" guy!?!"
So what Rick James was garbage
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Punctuation is important.
Are you saying, "So what. Rick James was garbage.", or are you saying. "So what, Rick James was garbage?".
Neil Young is such a pure and authentic talent. Beautiful voice and emotion
As much as the lyrics hit (and they always find a way) the guitar chords and singing style of Neil is pretty amazing. This song, his stuff with CSNY, Old Man, Down by the river, Don't let it bring you down - essential music for my life.
The melody is so beautiful but the subject matter is so ugly, haunting song but one I like to hear now and then for a reality check.
Check out "After the gold rush" too. Another classic Neil Young tune
Please Please react to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Southern Cross" one of their best....
I’ve seen him play five times: acoustic, electric, country, folk, rock & roll. He played this song (and “Powderfinger”) every time.
Saw Neil at the Fox theater in Atlanta in 75. First part of the show was just Neil and Guitar/Harmonica. Second part the band came out for the electric stuff. We were high (well, up high - and high) and we could see what they were doing when they wandered behind the amps and stacks.
You touched on a good point about being young and naive. Some of us thought, "I'll just try it, I won't get hooked." I was lucky, I was able to try it then leave it alone. My brother tried it, couldn't stop and eventually died from it. 🙁✌🧡
Sorry about your brother. I lost my best friend just before Christmas 1970. OD'd and passed in my arms. The third, maybe 4th time we shot up. Not sure why he went and I didn't, we did the same amount. I was a little heavier I suppose. Still, I shot up two more times after. We were in 9th grade...It snags you right away but you don't notice at first. His dying and I was starting to feel it tug real hard, and somehow, I recognized it for what it was, that what they started telling us about in 7th grade was true, and very real, I rounded up some Seconal and managed to sleep through the worst of it, but it was tough. I wish I could find that same resolve to quit smoking. I found it real quick when I grew allergic to alcohol. Once i realized what was going on I just stopped and never looked back. I do on occasion miss the warmth of my Wild Turkey 101, but not enough so to even risk a swig. That was around 95. About 10 years later I grabbed a Corona to make some batter for some cod and took a little pull off the bottle. The reaction was almost instant, could barely eat the fish, and had a hangover for three days. I always hear how beautiful Seattle is, and it is, but I've seen it's shit covered underbelly up close and personal. Had we stayed there, I'm pretty positive I never would have seen 18 much less 66...
Every junkie I've ever known started taking heroin thinking, "It won't happen to me". Guess what?
If I recall this song is about a member in Neil's band who had a problem with Heroin.
Thank you to MS Dewey, my 7th grade chorus teacher, for introducing us to Neil Young, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and classical music. I have enjoyed this song since then.
Neil always sings from his heart. He's a true artist in that he's out to please himself before pleasing his audience.
No, he literally said he wanted to be removed from spotify because his fans told him to due to joe rogan, and then got back on a week later and acted like it never happened.
@@aprilecotton2060 That has nothing to do with his artistic expression.
@@rockodilechannel3509 did not say it did? And you did not either? Sounds like you done to many drugs to
@@aprilecotton2060 maybe you misunderstood my comment. Neil pleases himself first before his audience when writing and performing music. Your comment had to do with his decision regarding Spotify, which has nothing to do with singing or writing songs.
@@rockodilechannel3509 if he pleases himself first, why did he do what his audience wanted when he clearly did not want it. And wtf kind of weird comment is that anyways. Why would it be good that an artist, “pleases himself” smh.
Brad & Lex, you'll love his "Harvest Moon" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)"/"My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)"!!!
The Seattle's grunge scene was plagued with heroin. Sad to think that this song was written many years before it made the breakthrough.
Seattle has ALWAYS been a gold covered turd manufacturing junkies. I was almost one and my best friend at the time OD'd and died in my arms. That was at the end of 1970. Downtown before they built the King Dome, the waterfront, Mount baker area, and Rainier Ave south of Genesee Street. Actually, more like from Franklin High south into Rainier Beach. From Google maps it looks like they have rehabbed the area around Genesee Street though.
Neil Young does a song called HEY HEY MY MY , rock n roll can never die , and he does a song called MY MY HEY HEY , rock n roll is here to stay , they are two different songs but they should be listened to together !! Neil Young is almost in a class by himself !!!
These are both lyrics from the same song My My Hey Hey. Just in different verses. ruclips.net/video/t4Y1wDdMYH4/видео.html
“Every junkie is a setting sun” 🥲
Love to see people upgrade their thinking when new info comes in. Those moments are milestones in personal evolution. It's a beautiful thing.
Aloha guys, good morning...tough song...a hui hou
Lex is so spot on with her assessment that Neil could be a busker. By himself with 12 string and a pockerful of harmonics he can sound like a whole band sometimes! I have a friend like that. Mark Wesley. He was already good as a teen playing guitar. But now he is a solo performer. But not like any other you're seen. He has a contraption, that's all I can think to call it! That he plays drums with his feet while playing the guitar. Then he has a small recorded portion that plays simultaneously. It's AMAZING to watch him!
That takes a lot of talent. I'm a beginner guitarist, and just the multitasking of trying to play basic chords and sing makes my head explode.
@@jco207 I'm not sure if my friend has any videos of himself playing, but I'm going to check. If I find one I'll send it. A whole group of us friends from Lansing mi have continued to play through the years with fairly decent success. The band showdown, has been playing in Lansing for 30 yrs. Four of us started our first grg band in 75! I'm a vocalist myself. I know a few tunes on piano. Peace bro, keep practicing!
@@jco207 hey jean-carlos, search mark Wesley live at Dixie fish co. I'm sure he has better songs but this shows him playing very clearly. Lmk if you find it. I think you'll trip!
Absolutely not a busker.....wimpy wimpy stop the Acoustic shit.....need his electric stuff
No he isn't a SOLO ARTIST just Crazy Horse
Wonderful reaction you two…
Like Lex said, “the meaning of the song is so deep”.
Thank you Neil for writing such a poignant song…👍🏼
Neil Young Unplugged is possibly my favorite album. From top to bottom it is a masterpiece.
Now do Neil's "Down by the River (I Shot My Baby)"
Is that about living in a van?
@@MS-ro9dm good one
@@scottstewart5784 My mind just goes straight to Farley, I can't help it, lol
There are great covers of "Down By The River" by Roy Buchanan, Joey Gregorash & Puss 'n Boots.
Another emotional classic. Very pertinent to today, especially, with the fentanyl epidemic. Thanks, cats.
Yay Neil Young! One of my all time favorites. Such a long career and a huge catalog of music. Neil is best like this I think, just him. I especially love Harvest Moon and Birds .
I never complain about growing older - I'm grateful. It's a privilege denied to many.
Very good song by Neil Young, on the same theme try Needle and the spoon by Lynyed Skynyrd........
If you get a chance, listen to the Harvest LP (which Needle is from). The entire record is masterful!
Enjoyed your reaction and comments!
great pick guys, keep it up!
"A little pitchy, dude..."
Yeah Neil did a short thing in the early 70s, had a film crew following him around as he busked on street corners in Scotland while on tour lol, many ppl in the crowd had no idea who he was, of course many of the younger ones knew him, some held up newspapers with ads for his show etc
This whole concert is outstanding and was broadcast on the MTV Live Unplugged show.. I had recorded it on VCR, and it was later released on VHS.. it was hugely popular when it came out..
Two suggestions: the movie, "The Panic in Needle Park", which will still tear your guts out more than 50 years later, and Joni Mitchell's song,." Real Good for Free " about a street musician -- listen to the live version on "Miles of Aisles".
I saw Neil in the early 80s. He was phenomenal! I lived with an addict for 18 years! He was the type of addict that about twice a year would disappear for 2 or 3 days. Yup love is blind! Took me awhile to finally stop accepting that for myself. Not all addicts live on the street.
Gotta love an audience clapping out of rhythm and cheering over a song about people overdosing due to heroin addiction
First thing I thought of. Like WTF, don't they know what the song is about?
No doubt. Neil famously also ripped ‘fans’ for ‘cheering in the wrong spots’ in “Keep On Rocking in the Free World”. But my favorite Neil/Dumb Fans story is about his “Time Fades Away” tour..: fans wanted the Harvest Hits, but Neil just played his new music - and they started booing. He finally calmed them down by saying “I’m going to play these new songs first, then I’ll play music you’ve already heard”. That calmed them down, but after finishing his new album’s songs, he just started playing the same songs again. The crowd got really pissed, then, but Neil just said “what’s the matter? These are songs you’ve already heard!”
Quite possibly the Goat. You can go down the rabbit hole with his songs. Lots of hits.
Growing up in the 70's, this song holds a special place in my heart. Always has, always will.
Another terrific song along the same lines is "Sam Stone" by John Prine. It'll rip your heart out, but it is a great work of art. I recommend it for a reaction video. Be prepared with some tissues, though...
Love your reaction. I've been a Neil Young fan since the BUFFALO SPINGFIELD in the 60's. I'm so glad new generations are discovering Neil Young's song writing, musicianship and voice. Check out the "FOR WHAT ITS WORTH". ALL THRU CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG and ALL SOLO ALBUN in the 1970's. Two great solo albums HARVEST AND AFTER THE GOLD RUSH. I've lost friends and a neice to heroin.
I had to condition myself not to assume. You never know where someone has come from or gone through. It's disheartening that so many no longer seem to care about their fellow man.
Back in the day when he wrote this song and many of the drug use back then was directly related to the Vietnam war. Also during this time the youth of America was facing the Cubin Missile Crisis. In school kids did like monthly drills in case Russia launched their nucs. Yet we where also taught that none of us would survive. the civil rights movement was ongoing. Cities being burnt to the ground. People building fallout shelters in their back yards. Everything in the 60's/ early 70's where or seemed to be a dangerous world to grow up in. Many of the youth back then never thought they would live past 30. So regardless of what the adults told you about drugs it really didn't seem to matter. Escape from reality was a much better option at the time.
I saw him in Massey Hall in 2007, a half a century after he recorded those ground-breaking songs in his 20s. Honestly, his vocals were absolutely perfect
Such an amazing song, and while many have covered it, I still think Neil's version is the best.
1:53 Look up "Neil Young Busking Glasgow, Scotland 1976"
Mr Young long before he created Crazy Horse he was writing songs for Buffalo Springfield checkout Mr Soul awesome song for it’s time truly a revelation of its time..
My niece just died from heroine laced with fentanyl. She just turned 30, if you value life- and you should! please don't touch that shit. This is the 2nd person close to me that has died from 'the needle'. Great Timeless song, and really relevant today with the fentanyl laced crap going around. It's bad enough on it's own.
I was into drugs pretty heavily when I was young. But thankfully always stayed away from the junk. To me it seemed like it only offered 1 of three outcomes. Get better, get jailed or get dead. Only one choice really.
Skid row in LA doesn't have many heroin addicts. Mostly people with mental disorders who can't get help. And meth. It used to be made up of mostly alcoholics years ago.
Watch him and Pearl Jam do Rocking in the Free World from the MTV music awards
And for his other genius talent listen to ‘Like a Hurricane. The original studio version from American Stars and Bars. No/one reacted to that yet… go on. Be the first to appreciate both sides of this man’s utter genius !!!
React to more Neil, Cowgirl in the Sand, Heart of Gold, Old Man, Hey Hey My My..
Neil was one of the early artists to record an album using a Vocoder too. 1981-82. Trans. It's an interesting story about trying to help his son speak with a synthesized voice.
Great reaction. Maybe try Neil young song “Castles Burning” thanks
thanks to my sister I survived the 70's heroin era now 61 years and she still keeps saving me,
Although I don’t agree with his Political views, I’ve always thought he was a great artist !
I really want you guys to get deeper into Neil, Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead. These 3 artists will change your lives.
He followed this up a few years after with an album full of observations from this sad vantagepoint('Tonight's the Night')...
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
This song has always sounded like a funeral to me. Art imitates life.
Neil is a phenomenal songwriter
Try Stephen Stills song "4 and 20"...
Not big on Neil's politics but damn if that guy isn't talented as f.
He is just so talented . I saw him in concert at an outdoor amphitheater and he just delivered. Everyone was satisfied , everyone enjoyed the concert, and everyone left thinking they had just watched one of our best performers. The man just gave pleasure to a small stadium full of music lovers.
Saw him perform this 6 days before the live recording was done January 1971. He was in a funk and played 40 minutes.
Be the first to review "Tonights the night by Neil young " I!
Excellent choice. I think (hope) you’d enjoy Country Girl by Neil and CSN on deja vu
Of all the songs about drug use, this has to be the best one.
LEGEND
Only Love Can Break Your Heart is another great Neil Young tune.
0ne of my favorite Niel songs. Worked it out living in a dismal bedsit when I was about 21
Great song. I could actually play it on the guitar back in the day (and I'm not a great guitarist). Thank you for the reaction.
Lexie is way more emotional recently.. Must be the hormones :)
You have to understand being a junkie, this song is great..
I am a former junkie (clean over 3 decades) and this one REALLY hits me hard.
@@qadgopthemercotan good for you dude!! Not many achieve that.
My much older brother was a heroine addict when I was very little. Late 60s. And I've had friends throughout the years the same. Only one, that I know of, every conquered it. God bless you.
"is that a compliment" LOL LOL
his friend overdosed on heroin...
Having Lost several Friends to the Needle, this song always makes me cry.
I'm so sorry @brown. I've gone through losing close friends as well. What a waste. Thank God I made it while so many others did not! smdh............
Thank you @@jamesperine3472
Sorry for your loss.
Gratitude helped me greatly.
For everything… the good the bad & the ugly. ✌️
Beautiful song, performance, voice. Sad commentary on one of the many problems with the country.
From Musical Youth to the genius that is Neil Young...loving it...
This is a good live video that sounds like the record and shows how good Neil is. He can definitely rock out as well as be mellow like this. For more mellow, hear "Harvest Moon" with its sweet video. For rockin' try "Cinnamon Girl" or "Rockin' in the Free World".
One of the best and brilliant features of this song, which is about the holes left in our lives by the senseless loss of meaningful people, is that at the end of the song, the last measure is left incomplete and stumbles to a dissonant end.
Thereby leaving a hole on the song, like a musical "missing man" formation.
Great tune.. lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
In the way, way back I used to do this song. All of the needle freaks seemed to love it for some reason.
Back in the day musicians had talent. If you couldn't do it live, you couldn't do it.
Harvest is a Brilliant album. I have it on Vinyl for the house and CD for the car. Niel Young is a great songwriter.
This song was no doubt inspired by Bert Jansch’s Needle of Death. Listen to it even if you don’t react to it. Neil asked Bert to tour with him before Bert’s death. Another great Bert song is October Song.
What a sad song.😥
one of the best concerts i ever saw was in 1982 A Solo Evening With Neil Young, 2 sets with him and a lineup of guitars, pianos and a synthesizer, awesome
I just wanted to say that you two (Brad and Lex) absolutely nailed the meaning of this song! Brilliant job!
A Canadian icon.
Like a Hurricane from Unplugged is incredible. Old pump organ sounds haunting.
Uncle Neil is a Canadian treasure
The man is canadian.. yes... but considering he himself doesnt want anything to do with canada and has said how much he detests the country... deletes any "canadian" in him. #GordIsTheTreasure #GordBetterThanNiel #FuckNielYoung
Please do Neil Young's live performance at Farm Aid, his song, {{Hey, Hey, My, My}} great crowd and performance of an amazing song!! 🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎
The line "Every junkie's like a setting sun." I do landscape photography and the only thing a setting sun does is go down and lose it's brightness.
It is that simple. Don't get addicted to drugs. Duh. You can't be saved from that. In the past they would die or would have been killed by animals or people eventually.
