  • Neil Young, Willie Nelson and Crazy Horse perform "All Along the Watchtower" live at the Farm Aid concert in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 18, 1994. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
    For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/youtube
    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    it has always amazed me how Neil Young can instantly go from grunge rock, to the sweetest slow ballads without missing a step...He is truly one of the most unique musicians of all time....

    Stumbled across this purely by accident and thought I'd give it a listen.......there are no words that can do this justice. Absolutely first class and Neil Young who I have always been a massive fan of just nails this. Fantastic musicianship throughout and everyone's input is heard loud and clear but anyone who down voted this needs immediate psychiatric assessment. Marvellous rendition and outstanding effort from all.

    I have seen Neil literally a dozen times live over the years, with CSN, Prairie Wind, the awesome rock opera Greendale... but when he is with his hand picked back up band of 40 plus years, Crazy Horse, you can feel that Neil is with family, and he becomes totally comfortable and truly lets his muse take over.
    Which is why his best songs and most known hits decade after decade after decade is with his homies.

    Not a music expert, and before I write my thoughts on this video, let it be known. I seen Willie and Family live 3 times, I seen Neil and Crazy horse twice, would have been 3 times, but he got sick and had to cancel his show at the St Paul Civic Center because he was sick, and had to stay at a local hospital. All Along the Watch Tower by Hendrix has been my number 1 song since I first heard it in 76. And I also cry everytime I watch Neil close out the Canadian olympics. If I put the 4 or 5 greatest singers of all time, on a stage with who I feel are the 4 or 5 greatest guitarists of all time. Then put Neil in the mix for that, I will walk away remember Neil just for his presence and passion alone. Which brings me to the song of Green Grass and High Tides. When I hear that song, I think of Hendrix, Joplin, Elvis, Sinatra, and yes, Neil Peart. However, I also think of Young being on that stage commanding the whole damn thing, because that is what Neil did without even trying, He just commanded the whole damn stage. Thank you Neil Young for letting me be a part of your life, even though it was only from a distance.
