in late 1982 / I was just 14 / a wild friend arrived at our local High school... he brought with him a variety of items and substances... one of them was a cassette of 'Neil Young' an incredible journey it has been ever since
just left a long doting comment for Natural Beauty, knowing as ivwrite Cortez would come on straight after, I was right....just going to listen ..said it all....same goes for this amazing piece of work WE LOVE YOU NEIL
Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley are sadly no longer with us....but we still have Neil to hold a torch for us and show us the way. He has made me laugh, smile, dance and cry. Thank you Neil. From me buying Harvest in 1982, I found the man who I can turn to, whatever mood I am in.
So happy to have grown up with this man. So many roads and he has always been there. Never negative energy. Always raw, unbridled, yet clear and unmistakably good. My words. My sincerity.... Thank you Neil. Thank you.
What a great guitar player who never skips a beat with that awkward looking rhythm. Love how he moves and feels every nuance of sound and if you watch him his movements are totally in step
Remarkable confession: "And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I can still remember when Or how I lost my way" about a former incarnation of ...? Very intense performance!
Dear Steven, it's been 30 years yet I knew I'd find you here. God Bless and keep you Bro! Your brother Bill raised me and brought me up and I survived till adulthood. I'm growing old and I'm grateful for you both. It couldn't have been easy, but I love and thank you both with all my heart.i was 14. You kept me pristine and safe. You taught me to sing Neil Young. I am still singing........
OOOOH! MMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the reason you must LISTEN to Neil Young! Always turn it up load enough to hear his breath, close your eyes and.... Peace ☮☮out!
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for a new world A palace in the sun On the shore lay Montezuma With his cocoa leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered The secrets of the worlds Oh, and his subjects gathered round him Like leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones They carried them to the flat-lands And they died along the way They built up with their bare hands What we still can't build today And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I can still remember when Or how I lost my way Cortez, Cortez He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Came dancing across the water Came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Quelle: LyricFind Songwriter: Neil Young
And every bit of that song is factually incorrect. The Aztecs were hyper-violent, warlike trash who were stupid, cruel, and extremely violent. They were killers and cannabals. It was Cortez who forbade the human sacrifices and cannabalism and brought them Catholicism, relative civility, and the Spanish language. Young apparently doesn't like to read history.
When Neil Plays N Strums N Lays down the wind on the Harp! You just say Thank You Sir ! Your Poetry is Remarkable, your Perspective N Your ❤️ is. A Rare Breed, God Bless You Sir & your Family 💙
Starting listening to real music beginning with “Harvest “(age 12)!1200 songs later,this musical genius is still doing it! This version of Cortez The Killer is beautiful! I am blessed to have seen this man play live many times over the past 45 years!They don’t make them like this anymore 😂!Love ya OLD MAN ❤️!!
I've been listening to brother Neil for 45 years . Fortunate enough to see him perform 5 times. You cant compare any other song writer of the present to Neil Young. If I had to it would absolutely be Eddie Vedder. Listen to just breathe. Off he goes. Or release. Eddie and Neil are close friends. ✌
beautiful accoustic take from Neil and his harmonica. this version used in he Almost Famous movie soundtrack when the band disembarked from the plane after an electric storm - a gem
great fucking movie.... can barely remember it but I remember it being great 🤣🤣I miss movies like that, that put you on an adventure, the ending was always good... so many depressive movies nowadays, can't even bother
Gatto surname? perhaps relative of the GREAT teacher John Taylor Gatto? (NYC) I still remember his EIGHT HOUR lectures about Public Schooling and how it actually damages education and kids' mental health... the man actually cared for his students unlike most "teachers" out there
This is my Favorite Neil Song, Cortez the Killer, Another Great is Like A Hurricane, They Definitely Bring Out Mr Youngs Brilliance as a Rocking Blues Man!
I was there! Halloween weekend 1999, my first Neil Young show, at the Bridge School Benefit. We really came to see the Who, he was opening up for them on Saturday night, but I really enjoyed Neil's set. They also had Tom Waits, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, and Brian Wilson. Very good year.
One of his best gifts to the world. Friend of mine ran into Neil and his dog at the floor of the Grand Canyon one summer many years ago. Neil hung out a bit and shot the shit like any other blok. That is Neil Young......
What stuns me about Neil Young is how he can bring such beauty and depth to his music done with his acoustic guitars but then his "all guns blazing" pyrotechnic electric voice is just as good - just somehow different facets of his intuitive brilliance that are somehow the same. God I love his songs and music..
One of the greatest ever, if not the greatest(i really think this) There is a lot of very good music but Neil is for me number one!! But its only my humble opinion🙃!
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world And that palace in the sun. On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wandered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. And they carried them to the flatlands But they died along the way And they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today. And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer.
extraordinary acoustic performance..what a masterpiece, then there's Natutal Beauty, Inca Queen, Hurricane soo many more that just transcend music...more of an inner connection to past, and resonating to previous incarnations, in long forgotten civilizations but they ,"Built up with their bare hands,xwhat we stil can't do today " sticks out for me...because we stil cannot in 2023....I believe with certainty that they didn't build it with their bare hands but with their minds and with water and frequency...and off planet help....
Zuma. A fabulous album. I've seen so many many concerts by other fabulous bands. The Rust Never Sleeps tour was by far my favorite. His music and passion brings tears to my eyes and somehow, hope for the future. Just love his music 🎶🎶🎶

As a performer, sometimes during a song I remember 2 or 3 other times when I've played the same song... I can imagine Neil mentally walking through the decades during these 7 minutes.
I’m a staunch conservative but I became a huge fan of Neil Young in the 70s. I suppose I was more of a liberal then as many teenagers are. These days I probably I see most things differently than does Neil Young but I will forever be a fan of his music. “He came dancing across the water. Cortez Cortez. What a killer.”
Neal’s music skills are the greatest And I’ve been listening since I was 12. Now I’m 76.
Neil is a music guru. He is a probably one of the finest songwriters of my generation
He is rocking in Amazon's free world now.
No he is the best.
@@tonywalker7602 tied with Jackson Browne...
any generation
Yep, great. Todd isn't bad either.
3 chords, harmonica and a beautiful narrative. Few people can accomplish this Neil is one of them.
Some artists just make you shake your head and listen in awe at their amazing talent. God bless Neil Young.
yeah so good to be itself in the light..
in late 1982 / I was just 14 / a wild friend arrived at our local High school... he brought with him a variety of items and substances... one of them was a cassette of 'Neil Young' an incredible journey it has been ever since
Amen to that 🎸 Super Classy artist . Can listen to him for hours on end
No kidding!
just left a long doting comment for Natural Beauty, knowing as ivwrite Cortez would come on straight after, I was right....just going to listen ..said it all....same goes for this amazing piece of work WE LOVE YOU NEIL
There is no one to replace Neil Young

Such reflective haunting music. Just a great song done so well here. The older I get the more I listen to this music.
Neil Young looks and sounds like the hobo camp elder for us all. Peace and Love
that Neil still has their intensity is remarkable. Probably the greatest singer songwriter of all time
Not probably. He is.
What a great guitar player who never skips a beat with that awkward looking rhythm. Love how he moves and feels every nuance of sound and if you watch him his movements are totally in step

30 years. keep singing. Steven and Bill, maybe God was in the mix.
What a legend. Everything about this man just feels so genuine and honest.
EPIC, Neil!
MASTER of dropped D & Hammer-ons..
Looks like Neil is swimming in a twelve-string ocean
Is he in drop d standard ? Sounds a half step down too idk
Gotta ;ove a guy who os not afraid to turn his Stetson around to make a point
Don't forget palm muting 😎👍
I thought I'd seen it all when it comes to Neil. This is absolutely brilliant!
OOOOH! MMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the reason you must LISTEN to Neil Young! Always turn it up load enough to hear his breath, close your eyes and.... Peace ☮☮out!
PACE PACE PACE quanto servirebbe all'uomo oggi domani sempre ma.....c'è tanta guerra WAR .......
In fifty years people will be listening to Neil Young and will have never heard of Jon Stewart
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for a new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
The secrets of the worlds
Oh, and his subjects gathered round him
Like leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
They carried them to the flat-lands
And they died along the way
They built up with their bare hands
What we still can't build today
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I can still remember when
Or how I lost my way
Cortez, Cortez
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Came dancing across the water
Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water

Those are the lyrics, alright.

I was at this show....truly amazing night. Neil also opened the show solo acoustic.
Was this at MAssey Hall a few years back?
@@Northern-Don No, it was the 1999 Bridge School Benefit, which they stopped doing about 4-5 years ago, sadly.

WOW! That qualifies as a very very very good year in my book!
Amazing to warch him do so much with 1st position chords. My absolute favourite guitarist.
One of his best gifts to the world.
Friend of mine ran into Neil and his dog at the floor of the Grand Canyon one summer many years ago. Neil hung out a bit and shot the shit like any other blok.
That is Neil Young......
Your friend is a very lucky guy.

Just too good. Brilliant lyrics.
Neil young is a wonderful musician, A gifted soul directly by the music gods on mountain high!💥🌤🌟💫

How do you follow this, sooo talented ❤️
Brings you to a time when the Aztec Empire fell
@@ken3128 I wonder if Montezuma had cocoa leaves...could be they had an Inca connection
Just when you thought you'd heard the best from him...👍😎🇨🇦🙏
thats a great guitar! love the way the man dresses!! thank you NEIL!
We used to call this song ‘Cortez the crowd killer’ when we played this live. Only Neil can pull it off
Beautiful song. Change just never stops, sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
God bless Neil Young♥️🙏
One of the Great story Tellers in Music. Awesome.
As if Cortez the Killer could ever get any better, it just did.
Simply Outstanding.
Amen..Amen..Thank you my Father for this incredible opportunity to praise you 🔥I m grateful for the wonderful path with you🙏
outstanding performance, delicate and sweet
Di sicuro uno fra i tanti che io non potrò mai dimenticare ciao a tutti quelli che ascoltano l'eavy rock
Uno fra i tanti? Poverino
Pure Neil. Timeless genuis
One of the greatest ever, if not the greatest(i really think this)
There is a lot of very good music but Neil is for me number one!!
But its only my humble opinion🙃!
No wj, it’s my opinion also. He is number 1 in my book.
Still a thing of beauty.
At 70 years old I'm just understanding Neil Young x
한국에서 닐영팬이 봅니다. 어쿠스틱은 처음 보네요. from korea. NEIL!
the harmonica playing is amazing. The master of potent sophisticated simplicity,
Those first few notes always give me chills.
Aren’t they the same as Natural Beauty?
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And that palace in the sun.
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.
And they carried them to the flatlands
But they died along the way
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.

I long to see you🎶❤️
Mr.Stai
I agree that he's a great singer-songwriter; I also have always enjoyed listening to him sing -- his voice.
True Artistry in motion
Simply amazing.
Anyone can play the chords and sing but it ain't Neil - something magical happens when he picks up a guitar and sings - Long May He Run 🙂
incredible
Never again will these angels walk this planet
Artista unico!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
very poetic but naive lyrics.. a hypnotizing song (played it myself many times)!
Yes. The Legend and his hands
One of my favs..even if acoustic..so much better electric
Excellent 👌
As a performer, sometimes during a song I remember 2 or 3 other times when I've played the same song...
I can imagine Neil mentally walking through the decades during these 7 minutes.
If you no cry ,you are strong my friends
Grande Neil...ti abbraccerei

Oh and not to forget his harp playing, why doesn't anyone mention it, it's unique the way he uses it....
He's always been the standard for all us old wannabes. Unreachable grab
