Anyone that hasn't seen the Last Waltz in its entirety owes it to themselves to watch it. It features some of the greats from the '60s and '70s in a terrific movie directed by Scorsese.
The Last Waltz was the greatest concert I ever seen the movie was just a chopped up highlight film. The Staples Singers couldn't make the concert that song was done at a later date
I have a copy of the album and I’ll send Harri my DVD copy of the whole show! Albert Smith is absolutely right. Saw Dylan and the Band in 1983 or 4. Awesome.
Actually, Helpless, written by Neil Young, was first recorded by CSNY in 1970 and was on their Deja vu album. Which I spent many nights laying in our front yard in southern Florida staring up at the crystal clear stars and the milky way with that album blasting on our VW bus 8-track player. Bob Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door came out 3 years later. So IT may have sounded like Helpless, not the other way around. Great live version with all these wonderful musicians if that era right here! 😁✌❤
Someone described RIck's voice as the most plaintive achingly beautiful, so soulfull that it could bring tears to eyes of even the most hardcore Hell's Angels.
You know the band is good when they can play other artists songs and make it your favorite version. And when a legend like Neil Young says it’s his greatest pleasure to be on that stage
@@marybaillie8907 on my phone I have a picture of the sign for The Levon Helm Highway in Helena AR. They have a great welcome center there with photos of all the great musicians from AR.
Neil wrote the song. I remember reading an interview with Dylan (for the "new" Spin magazine after years of Dylan never doing interviews) where he said that when he first heard Old Man by Neil Young, he felt like it should have been his song. I was really surprised because Old Man sounds nothing like Dylan. But Dylan and Neil have that kind of symbiosis. And Dylan's old backing band is backing Neil Young on this song. I think Joni Mitchell was in the background because she hadn't yet stepped out for her set in the concert. Saving her for a surprise.
@@lathedauphinot6820 Actually what I read was that Dylan just had a feeling "that should have been my song" and not a feeling that Young had copied him. I think it was Old Man, but too lazy to go up into my back house to get that issue.
Mitchell takes this performance and sends it right up to the heavens . The Goddess Muse hidden from view behind the veil no matter the reason makes it all the more compelling and sublime and they all I presume knew it would . Three chords knocked clear out of the park .
Neil Young spent his childhood years in Omemee, Ontario. It is located about 1.5 hours drive north-east of Toronto. The song is, as far as I know, is of his memories of growing up there...... Keep on diving into The Band, and Neil Young.
Helpless was written by Neil Young in 1970 when he was part of CSNY. The reference to north Ontario is because Neil was born there in a small town called Omamee. Knocking on Heaven's Door was written by Bob Dylan in 1973 for a western movie. The Band did back up Dylan and toured with him.
Harri ... you have found the secret portal to the greatest music you will ever hear ... you have just passed through the Neil Young portal and are now traveling through the Joni Mitchel worm hole to a place reserved normally for Canadians. You will hear amazing songs and see unimaginable performances of bands such as Rush, Bryan Adams, the Tragically Hip, Nelly Furtado, Shania Twain, and Paul Anka to name just a few. Enjoy the cedar plank salmon with blue berry sauce after an appetizer of buffalo poutine while sipping on an Okanagan merlot.
Beautiful performance. Love how Neil Young is just smiling through the whole thing. Consider just watching The Last Waltz all the way through. I’ve watched hundreds of times.
Without question, Neil was feeling "better" thanks to some performance enhancing substance(s), He could barely stand up at he end of the concert when all artists shared the stage. Not a knock on Neil - he sure was very happy under the influence, and he performed "Helpless" flawlessly/superbly.
Can a jam session be anymore entertaining? Neil Young 2 nights in a row, then you throw in The Band and Joni Mitchell. Fantastic. Only way to make a Neil Young song better, add more Canadians. Lol. I hear the Bob Dylan song you're talking about. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Miss Blondie. Amazing choice. 👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Neil Young, one of the great singer songwriters to emerge from the 1960's wrote "Helpless". It is wonderful, both this and the CSN&Y origins version. Then you brought up Dylan's "Knocking On Heaven's Door" and I believe you would find the very ironic rendition by Warren Zevon deep, and meaningful, as is Zevon's rendition of Steve Winwood's "Back In The Highlife Again", which you should also listen to.
Neil wrote it, but now that you bring it up, it does sound like Dylan's "Knockin". Neil wrote "Helpless" first, 1970. This whole concert is killer! I must have seen it a hundred times! When it was first released the local theater had midnight showings of rock concerts, this was one of them. I used to have it on DVD and now have it on RUclips. It seriously never gets old! I've been a Neil Young fan for what feels like forever!
So many great artists sharing this stage. Neil, Joni, Robbie and most of the BAND are from CANADA. Once a year, PBS shows the LAST WALTZ and some behind the stage commentary and interviews.
Many people have always said that Helpless looks like knockin on heaven's door, as if Neil was inspired by it. but it could be the opposite, since Neil wrote Helpless in 69 and Dylan knockin on heaven's door in 73
I am such a major NY fan. And a The Band fan. And a Joni Mitchell fan. I have never seen this video before. I absolutely loved it. How fantastic to see all this remarkable talent coming together!
Don't sleep on The BAND! They toured with Dylan as HIS band & made great music themselves through the 60's & the first half of the 70's. Very respected band!
My favorite version of Helpless. You need to watch this music documentary. I love Neil so much. Definitely check out Dylan’s set too. And Vans. Just watch the whole thing!, The Last Waltz
Also the Band was the backing band for Dylan during his transition from acoustic to electric. So it sounds like Dylan because the same musicians are playing.
Who originally sang helpless? Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Helpless" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) on their 1970 album Déjà Vu.
Everyone needs to check out Joni Mitchell's performance at this Summer's Newport Folk Festival she was incredible with her laughing and smiling having fun her first performance in years you'll love it
Speaking of Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Neil does a pretty awesome cover of Bob’s “All Along the Watchtower”. There are several high quality live versions to check out, including a farm aid performance featuring Willie Nelson and Neil’s backing band Crazy Horse
Oh Canada!!! Neil, Joni, and the four Canadian members of the band, plus Levon Helm!! Great reaction, Harri, great suggestion Miss Blondie, fantastic song, amazing concert/film!! It's all good!!
This is just one of many classics Neil Young penned. Normally, when an artist is on vocals and playing multiple instruments it’s a pretty good guess that they are the authors of the song.
Don’t know if you’ve watched it but the concert for George to me was an awesome group of greats, Paul, Ringo, Eric C, etc. they put on an unbelievable tribute to George
@@Cynthia... I recently bought it on Amazon Prime, I can watch anytime I tried to share it but big no no. It's about 15 well spent dollars, I've watched it 4 times in 2 weeks
Was working the Last Waltz with Bill Graham. Love Neil Young. Not so much the Dr. backstage passing out quaaludes. Had to carry Neil to his room at the hotel. He threw up on my shoes. Bob Dylan pasted out in someone else's room... it was then declared his. It was my LAST SCHMATLZ!!!♡.
This video clip was taken from the movie "The Last Waltz" recorded in 1976. The movie should be viewed by everyone who loves music. I saw this in the Cineramadome in Hollywood back in 1978. What an experience!!
Yeah I hear the similarities... Funny I never noticed it before. The important thing to keep in mind, though, is that Neil's song came out something like 3 years before Dylan's. Cheers!
Great call on the Heaven's Door soundalike, HarriDaBest. Great overall reaction and great request, miss blondie. Thanks to this whole group for outing The Last Waltz to me!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the music from The Last Waltz. The movie {concert} has many others Clapton and Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and others all do great performances
I think Dylan was inspired by Neil. It just occurred to me, originally the song was on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's Deja Vu album. Graham Nash usually sang the high part in their harmony and Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash were a couple for many years. It was a natural for her to sing Nash's part. Just an observation. Harri, I think you're beginning to understand why The Band were so popular and influential. They were phenomenal. And if you'd like to hear more The Band-like material, check out Robbie Robertson's album Storyville. It's breathtaking.
Neil Young wrote the song. He started the lyrics by singing " There is a town in north Ontarro". He grew up in that town in Canada. Joni Michial and many members of the band are also Canadians.
Amazing channel. I love to watch your reactions. I recommend some more Neil Young songs: Sugar mountain, Mr soul (Buffalo Springfield), broken arrow (Buffalo Springfield), After the gold rush, birds, only love can break your heart, don't let it bring you down, don't be denied (Wembley 1974), motion pictures, see the sky about to rain, revolution blues, walk on, on the beach, roll another number, speakin' out, mellow my mind, winterlong, comes a time, already one, thrasher. It is very hard to choose Neil Young's songs. There are so many great songs including many newer ones (it's a dream, razor love, crime in the city, wrecking ball, sleeps with angels,....)
Eric next please. This is one of my favorite concerts/movies ever made. There was so much amazing talent on that stage! 💜💜💜. Btw Joni plays too. This is Neil’s song. Neil and Bob were great fans of each other!
Nẹil Young the singer wrote it and many other great ones. Listen to Down by The River. Last wmWaltz also has Joni singing her own song, Eric Clapton, Dr. John. All worth a listen
I read somewhere that Dylan was mildly pissed at Neil in the early 1970s, when Old Man and Heart of Gold became big radio hits. Dylan was like "He's stealing my style!" lol
If you haven't seen "The Last Waltz" you should. This is some of the greatest voices and band members of all time . I have watched the entire thing many times. I really understand what you mean by "I can hear dylan " , he was such a huge influence of the time AND the band was his band for years :) .
For another glorious song where Joni sings background give a listen to 'Laughing' from David Crosby's 1st solo album "If I Could Only Remember My Name". She doesn't come in until near the end but it's worth the wait.
.. when Dylan came to Wpg on your in the late 90’s or so he took a cab to Neil Young childhood home knocked on the door and asked if he could see Neil’s old bedroom , he imagined himself in Minnesota and Neil in a Wpg thinking about music at the same time
Lots of talent that shows Neil has friends in all the right places. Harri, I'm hoping if you haven't seen'Learn to Fly' Cesena Italy produced by Rockin 1000, it's one of the most moving moments I've ever seen. So I'm hoping this you see how so many Foo Fighter fans can come together to play their instruments and ask them to please come to their small town in Italy. Thanks for the memories Harri.
Anyone that hasn't seen the Last Waltz in its entirety owes it to themselves to watch it. It features some of the greats from the '60s and '70s in a terrific movie directed by Scorsese.
The Staples were incredible!
The Last Waltz was the greatest concert I ever seen the movie was just a chopped up highlight film. The Staples Singers couldn't make the concert that song was done at a later date
I have a copy of the album and I’ll send Harri my DVD copy of the whole show! Albert Smith is absolutely right. Saw Dylan and the Band in 1983 or 4. Awesome.
I’ve watched 80% or more of the Last Waltz but never all the way through. I am remiss in my duties as a Band fan for sure
Neil Young wrote "Helpless" in 1970, Bob Dylan wrote "Knocking on Heaven's Door" in 1973...
Nice point Dylan raves about Neil
The guests that night were meant to be a surprise. Joni was scheduled to play after Neil, so she was hidden until she could be properly introduced.
Coyote - what a performance!
Actually, Helpless, written by Neil Young, was first recorded by CSNY in 1970 and was on their Deja vu album. Which I spent many nights laying in our front yard in southern Florida staring up at the crystal clear stars and the milky way with that album blasting on our VW bus 8-track player. Bob Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door came out 3 years later. So IT may have sounded like Helpless, not the other way around. Great live version with all these wonderful musicians if that era right here! 😁✌❤
Yes..I was about to tell Harri that..Neil wrote this BEFORE Dylan wrote ‘Heaven’s Door’
Rick Danko singing harmony is the icing on the cake. One of the great voices in rock.
Love Rick Danko's voice and his great energy
Rick Danko is Canadian Jesus.
He is my favorite followed closely by Robbie, not only for their musical talent, but also their looks when they were young.@@missblondie2393
Someone described RIck's voice as the most plaintive achingly beautiful, so soulfull that it could bring tears to eyes of even the most hardcore Hell's Angels.
You know the band is good when they can play other artists songs and make it your favorite version. And when a legend like Neil Young says it’s his greatest pleasure to be on that stage
Except for Levon Helm, everyone a Canadian! Peace, love and bellbottoms... from Canada.
It's just a normal Canadian evening with a few Canadian musicians getting together.
I have a proclivity for liking Canadian musicians. The Hip is one of my favorites.
@@ThePittsburghToddy Right on!!
Me too. 👍✌️🇨🇦
And an Arkansan
@@anthonyfoutch3152 Yes can't forget our friend Levon Helm.👍✌️🇨🇦

I thought it was Heart of Gold Bob was talking about
I think it was “Heart Of Gold” that Dylan thought was a copy. They’ve become friends or at least respectful acquaintances since.
@@lathedauphinot6820 Actually what I read was that Dylan just had a feeling "that should have been my song" and not a feeling that Young had copied him. I think it was Old Man, but too lazy to go up into my back house to get that issue.
@@Axeman517 Might have been. I need to go back and check. Still have the Spin copy.
They were All together! Memories 🤠✌️🍷🐴
Mitchell takes this performance and sends it right up to the heavens . The Goddess Muse hidden from view behind the veil no matter the reason makes it all the more compelling and sublime and they all I presume knew it would . Three chords knocked clear out of the park .
It was actually because her set was after NY's one and they wanted to keep her venue as a surprise
People say that Neil is an acquired taste. Maybe, but after listening to Decade, I was totally in love with his music. I was 15.
Neil Young wrote the song Helpless.
Neil Young spent his childhood years in Omemee, Ontario. It is located about 1.5 hours drive north-east of Toronto.
The song is, as far as I know, is of his memories of growing up there...... Keep on diving into The Band, and Neil Young.

Omemee isn’t really north but the song works
You cannot blame the band
Harri ... you have found the secret portal to the greatest music you will ever hear ... you have just passed through the Neil Young portal and are now traveling through the Joni Mitchel worm hole to a place reserved normally for Canadians.

Must include Rick Danko
I absolutely 💯 love ❤️ Neil Young ( the Godfather of grunge) 🇦🇺
Beautiful performance. Love how Neil Young is just smiling through the whole thing. Consider just watching The Last Waltz all the way through. I’ve watched hundreds of times.

“Helpless” Neil Young 1970. “Knockin’ on heaven’s door” Bob Dylan 1977
1973 according to wikipedia, but your point still stands. For the soundtrack of the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
Can a jam session be anymore entertaining? Neil Young 2 nights in a row, then you throw in The Band and Joni Mitchell. Fantastic. Only way to make a Neil Young song better, add more Canadians. Lol.

It doesn’t get any better than this group of artists on one stage, The Band is great and Neil and Joni are two of my favorite singers from the 70’s

Agreed. It’s a pleasure hearing something new. 😊
The Last Waltz is my all time favourite movie, and this is true Canadian perfection. CSNY version is also great.
Neil Young is the “Y” in CSNY. He sings on the Crosby Stills Nash and Young version 😊
Joni said that both Robbie and Neil were doped up during this performance.
Don't sleep on The BAND! They toured with Dylan as HIS band & made great music themselves through the 60's & the first half of the 70's. Very respected band!
Great Jam ! Must do the whole Gig. Eric Clapton is in this Concert 🇺🇸🍷🇬🇧🇨🇦👍
The Band & The Staple Singers ... The Weight Live.
The first time I heard of Neil was when I was 16 watching him play this on the screen in the movie theater, and I was smitten!
My favorite version of Helpless. You need to watch this music documentary. I love Neil so much. Definitely check out Dylan’s set too. And Vans. Just watch the whole thing!, The Last Waltz
I love Van's performance too
Just so you know Harri, Helpless by Neil Young was recorded in 1970. Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan was 1973.
From the album "Déjà Vu (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album)" 1970
Also the Band was the backing band for Dylan during his transition from acoustic to electric. So it sounds like Dylan because the same musicians are playing.
Not true, the original in 1970 sounds the same in chord progression.
There's a video (audio) on RUclips of Neil and Bob in concert doing the two songs.
Who originally sang helpless?
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
"Helpless" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) on their 1970 album Déjà Vu.
The BAND, Young * Mitchell, 3 of the most incredible gifts from and for our BOOMER Generation!!!
Everyone needs to check out Joni Mitchell's performance at this Summer's Newport Folk Festival she was incredible with her laughing and smiling having fun her first performance in years you'll love it
Neil's from Canada, thus "town in North Ontario." Beautiful version
Speaking of Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Neil does a pretty awesome cover of Bob’s “All Along the Watchtower”. There are several high quality live versions to check out, including a farm aid performance featuring Willie Nelson and Neil’s backing band Crazy Horse
Love it
All four are Proud Canadians!!!
you should checkout joni from the same concert doing coyote
There is a video of Joni singing Coyote accompanied by Bob Dylan on guitar recorded in Gordon Lightfoot's living room, it's worth checking out.
It's very similar to Knockin' on heavens door. It's a Neil Young song, written when he was with CSNY.
Same chord progression
@@irishguy200007 almost. I think knockin' on heaven's door has the a minor, and there are no minors in Helpless - but very close.
@@michaelwebster8389 Tricks of the trade
Neil Young, The Band, Joni Mitchell. Oh Canada! ♥
BTW I believe Knocking on Heaven's Door was recorded later than Helpless.
Oh Canada!!! Neil, Joni, and the four Canadian members of the band, plus Levon Helm!! Great reaction, Harri, great suggestion Miss Blondie, fantastic song, amazing concert/film!! It's all good!!
This is just one of many classics Neil Young penned. Normally, when an artist is on vocals and playing multiple instruments
it’s a pretty good guess that they are the authors of the song.
Pantheon of the Canadian music greats. Neil, Joni and Robbie Robertson and the Band
Your beautiful face and the sound of these beautiful artists break and mend my old Canadian heart!
Don’t know if you’ve watched it but the concert for George to me was an awesome group of greats, Paul, Ringo, Eric C, etc. they put on an unbelievable tribute to George
On your own you must watch, “The Last Waltz”,. If you want some history of great rock and folk music.
Nice pick MissBlondie. Three great Canadian Musical acts. Songwriters too. Thanks Prince Harri for all your fantastic reactions n👍🙃🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸🤴🇬🇧
My pleasure Daniel, I love so many Canadian singers and musicians.
Plus Canadians are so friendly
💜🇨🇦🎶🇺🇲🎵
This is an excellent choice Miss Blondie, aka C, you couldn’t pick a better group of people to get together to sing.🇨🇦💜 Great reaction Harri.
I glad you liked it Cynthia.
The Last Waltz The movie I watch way too much and love seeing Neil smiling. 🎶💜🎵
@@missblondie2393 I haven't seen it for years but will see if I can find it again. It was so great.

It's about 15 well spent dollars, I've watched it 4 times in 2 weeks
Ive heard countless versions of this song. This is the definitive version. Utterly incredible
Absolutely loved this! Will watch it again and again!🇨🇦
The Legend of the last Waltz Concert , will always love it as a piece of music History
Was working the Last Waltz with Bill Graham. Love Neil Young. Not so much the Dr. backstage passing out quaaludes. Had to carry Neil to his room at the hotel. He threw up on my shoes. Bob Dylan pasted out in someone else's room... it was then declared his. It was my LAST SCHMATLZ!!!♡.
With CSNY but first released on Neil Young solo effort
This video clip was taken from the movie "The Last Waltz" recorded in 1976. The movie should be viewed by everyone who loves music. I saw this in the Cineramadome in Hollywood back in 1978. What an experience!!
You know when Joni does your Background you are in the REAL Hall of Fame!!!!
This song is written by Young (1970) Dylan wrote Knoking on heavens door in 72.
Great song! Great reaction Harri... Thank you! 🇨🇦
Thank you! One of my favorites.
Yeah I hear the similarities... Funny I never noticed it before.
The important thing to keep in mind, though, is that Neil's song came out something like 3 years before Dylan's.
Cheers!
You really should see the Last Waltz if you already haven’t. So many great performances by so many great performers. A must see.✌️❤️🎶
HELPLESS CAME FIRST!!
Dylan and Neil Young, two of the best ever writers.
Don't forget about Robbie!
An amazing and haunted rendering. One of the highlights of the concert.
Great call on the Heaven's Door soundalike, HarriDaBest. Great overall reaction and great request, miss blondie. Thanks to this whole group for outing The Last Waltz to me!

As is Songs from Big Pink
@@sharontesta6566 Oh wow, I agree! Big Pink is one of THE best rock albums ever. I still play it all the time. So so great.
Neil's 'Helpless' came out in 1970 and Dylan's song was released in 1973 - maybe Dylan pulled a little from Neil for his composition!
Neil Young wrote the song. He started the lyrics by singing " There is a town in north Ontarro". He grew up in that town in Canada. Joni Michial and many members of the band are also Canadians.
That was beautiful.
Joni , love you , never forgett you ...💘

Young wrote this song three years before Dylan wrote, Knockin On Heaven's Door. You know where Dylan got his "inspiration".
This is the definitive version of this tune. Even though NY is looking a bit lit. Joni Mitchell singing back up certainly doesn't hurt, either!
CSN&Y from the Album deja'vu, is timeless!
Love your Reactions ... again and agaiinn
Greetings from a town in north Ontario.
Joni Mitchell being there was a surprise, so they had her sing the background vocals for Helpless backstage.
Eric next please. This is one of my favorite concerts/movies ever made. There was so much amazing talent on that stage! 💜💜💜. Btw Joni plays too. This is Neil’s song. Neil and Bob were great fans of each other!
I might be the 27th person to chime in on this,but Harri you MUST watch The Last Waltz from beginning to end
Superb.
Nẹil Young the singer wrote it and many other great ones. Listen to Down by The River.
Last wmWaltz also has Joni singing her own song, Eric Clapton, Dr. John. All worth a listen
I read somewhere that Dylan was mildly pissed at Neil in the early 1970s, when Old Man and Heart of Gold became big radio hits. Dylan was like "He's stealing my style!" lol
Please do Caravan with Van Morrison from the same concert.
I concur, love it!
I'll request for September.
Love his performance
Joni was singing back stage because she hadn’t been introduced yet in the show.
If you haven't seen "The Last Waltz" you should. This is some of the greatest voices and band members of all time . I have watched the entire thing many times. I really understand what you mean by "I can hear dylan " , he was such a huge influence of the time AND the band was his band for years :) .
For another glorious song where Joni sings background give a listen to 'Laughing' from David Crosby's 1st solo album "If I Could Only Remember My Name". She doesn't come in until near the end but it's worth the wait.
Would love to see someone react to that transcendental song by David Crosby.
Phenomenal album! I love " Music is Love" with Neil on background vocals
I watch The Last Waltz every thanksgiving, here in the US
Dylan and Young did a concert where the performed knocking on heavens door & Helpless together,It was Great.....The snack benefit concert, 1975......
That is a great question.
.. when Dylan came to Wpg on your in the late 90’s or so he took a cab to Neil Young childhood home knocked on the door and asked if he could see Neil’s old bedroom , he imagined himself in Minnesota and Neil in a Wpg thinking about music at the same time
Lots of talent that shows Neil has friends in all the right places. Harri, I'm hoping if you haven't seen'Learn to Fly' Cesena Italy produced by Rockin 1000, it's one of the most moving moments I've ever seen. So I'm hoping this you see how so many Foo Fighter fans can come together to play their instruments and ask them to please come to their small town in Italy. Thanks for the memories Harri.
