I admire the fact that you would explore these older songs. I grew up with this great music. I love that you have such an admiration for these awesome songs. There are generations around the world that will never even give themselves a chance to listen to this great music. Keep up your great work. You are a special person in my opinion!
Thank you for reacting to this great song from our Canadian treasure, Neil Young! When you react to his song "Heart of Gold" be sure to find the version from this same concert and find the longest one you can as he speaks to the audience before playing and it shows a lot of his personality. Before you are finished with him, be sure to react to "The Needle And The Damage Done" as well!! Best wishes to you with your channel!!
Another song video you should watch from Neil Young is the song, “The Needle and the Damage Done”. The unplugged version is a good one. In 1972, Young wrote about the impact of drug abuse, especially about his musician friends, which he witnessed first-hand. At the time, many of his friends and fellow creatives were spiraling from the effects of heroin addiction. Danny Whitten, Young’s Crazy Horse bandmate and longtime friend, was among those rapidly sinking deeper into their addiction, and eventually died from drug use. A really heart felt song that brings a tear to my eye.
Neil Young is considered one of the top twenty all time greatest rock lyricists, and rock guitarists. He has a unique voice, and many great softer acoustic and rock style songs. His vocals and lyrics are touching, and play with your emotions. If you would like to hear more acoustic style songs, then Heart of Gold (searching for love song), Harvest Moon (love song), Don't Let It Bring You Down, After The Gold Rush (protest type songs) would be good choices. Rock style songs then Powder Finger, Cortez The Killer, Southern Man, Rockin in The Free World would be great choices. I enjoyed your reaction, and I'm glad that you reacted to Neil Young.
Man has talent enough said I’ve been listening to Neil young for a long time and have appreciated his talent. Let the world hear Neil’s voice over and over again.
Neil Young is an iconic guitarist/ vocalist, born and raised in Canada... He first came to fame as the guitarist of Buffalo Springfield in 1966... the band split up in 1968 and Neil Young went solo as Neil Young and Crazy Horse... In 1969, he also joined the group CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) and they became huge w/ their acoustic records... His song 'Ohio' (by CSNY) was particularly powerful condemning the Kent State University massacre in Ohio by the US national guard in 1970... Neil Young was a successful artist in the 70's in both outfits. In the 80's, Neil Young saw his music become experimental and his popularity declined in the decade... In 1989, his album 'Freedom' was a return to commercial success and he scored a hit single "Rockin' in the free world"... His music was credited by members of Pearl Jam in the 90's of inspiring the Seattle 'grunge' rock scene... His 1992 album 'Harvest Moon' sold 2x platinum... His 1993 'MTV Unplugged' went gold (half million copies sold) in the US. Neil Young has carried on recording and touring to date - he's currently 77 yrs old... His latest album 'Before and after' is due out late 2023. Other Neil Young classics - 'Heart of gold' ... 'Cinnamon girl ' ... 'Harvest Moon' ... 'Southern man' (w/ CSNY)
@@LanceThompsonKssooner - haha, as much as I'm probably on the same side as you politically, I try to separate my music interests from my political beliefs. But it was funny.
@bcpme8637 it gets more difficult every day, and I don't believe it is the good side that made it that way. Like you said. Decerning people can make logical judgments despite differing beliefs. Great song and performance, tho!
Neil Young is one of the great ones. He made lots of great music when a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and also as a solo artist as you can hear in the song you just listened to They sing close harmony on a fantastic level and their album "Deja Vu" is considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
Neil is doing some immaculate guitar work here. He has so many great songs. "After The Gold Rush" is my favorite. Loved your reaction. Sorry some of the closed caption words were wrong, it kept saying "Oh man" instead of "old man" but I'm sure you could understand what he was singing. Keep up your musical journey, Inna!
Neil Young is a legend! As part of several bands over the decades, his own bands, and a solo artist, and he's still kicking! There's another video, well I think there's videos of that whole BBC concert, but there's a video of him doing another classic of his from that performance, "Heart Of Gold", that a lot of people react to which is awesome. There's also a great, more medal cover of that song by Black Label Society. Not sure if you know BLS, but Zakk Wylde is Ozzy's guitarist, and BLS is his own band that he also does. I'm not an expert, but I think BLS has an ever-changing line up because Zakk uses BLS to spotlight young up and coming musicians he likes to let them get some attention off of his name, then they move along, and he finds new ones, but ultimately, it's his band. I'm also guessing that you might not know Crosby, Stills, Nash, and sometimes Young, but you should check them out. David Crosby, the oldest and most famous at the time, had been part of The Byrds, a seminal early rock band of the movement in the 60s, until I think he got himself kicked out of that band. Graham Nash came to California from England after leaving The Hollies. Stephen Stills had been part of Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young. All three had sort of been without a band at the time, and had been part of the Laurel Canyon scene, where a bunch of musicians from the 60s and 70s all ended up living in Laurel Canyon, an area in LA nestled in the hills above the coast, and they had a little community where they'd all hang, jam, and whatever. So, Crosby, Stills, and Nash just happened to start playing together and realized they had something going, and ended up forming a group that was pretty phenomenal, though, they didn't always get along that well, and broke up and got back together several times over decades, and Neil Young sort of floated in and out as part of the group turning CSN into CSN and Y, but would bail and do his own thing when he had enough. At this point, I think David Crosby has pissed everybody else off enough that it's not likely that they'll ever reunite again, and well they're all not likely to be with us much longer anyways. There's documentaries on all this stuff, CSN, the Laurel Canyon scene, and David Crosby even made his own a few years ago. You should check out CSNY's song "Ohio" for a classic Neil Young riff though. This was all before I was even born, and I'm much older than you, so you might not be familiar, but the song is about the Kent State Massacre, where in 1970, students at Kent State University held a protest against the Vietnam War, and some national guard soldiers opened fire on them, killing four unarmed students, and wounding nine more. Another student, took some photographs, one of which became a Pulitzer Prize winner, and one of the famous pics of one of the dead bodies ended up on the cover of Life magazine. The story goes that Graham Nash and Neil Young happened to be out at some cabin, somewhere, hanging out I guess, when they saw it, and Neil Young was so disturbed by it that he grabbed his guitar, and just walked out into the woods, and when he came back, he had written the song. Graham Nash got on the phone immediately, they recorded it the next day, and then released it as soon as it was ready, which wasn't a common thing then. There's so many great CSN, with and without Neil Young, that you should check out though. It should all be pretty easy to find since it's pretty ubiquitous. One of my personal favorites, sans Young, is "Southern Cross". Also, this is just some random trivia, but another famous Neil Young song is called "Southern Man", which is about the racism and history of slavery in the American South, which was obviously a huge issue of the times, and Neil Young felt very strongly about. I dont know if you've reacted to Lynyrd Skynyrd yet, a 70s Southern Rock band, but Neil Young being originally Canadian, I guess Lynyrd Skynyrd took offense to the song, and in their famous song "Sweet Home Alabama", they included the lyric, "I hope Neil Young will remember, that a southern man don't need him around anyhow."
I do believe another great song he played in this session is called, "Heart of Gold". Just a simple song as Neil goes throughout the world searching for his, "Heart of Gold". His lyrics are truly deep and beautiful; and I'm sure you will greatly appreciate them as Neil was not only a great musician; but also, quite a poet. He spoke from his heart as all great artists in their fields would do. Neil also wrote this amazing, beautiful and heartbreaking song called, "The Needle and Damage Done." One of his friends and musician from his group called, "Crazy Horse", was fighting a losing battle with his Heroin Addiction; and it was interfering with the band's music. Neil gave his friend money and insisted he get treatment for his addiction. And when he was clean to come back to the band--before this drug killed him. He never came back and like so many great musicians died of an overdose. Neil's lyrics are some of the bests ever written about this subject: beautiful, dark, and so very haunting. Once heard, they can Never be Unheard again. Neil sings about how the Junkie would, "Milk Blood...to keep from Running out...I've seen the Needle and the Damage Done, a little part of it in Everyone...But, every Junkie's like a Setting Sun." During the time this song came out, I got to be really good friends with a co-worker who came back from Vietnam, after serving 2 tours there. He was kind, funny and being that I was still in high school, he kept an eye out on me making sure that I never got involved with the hard stuff. He was like an Older Brother to me; and I loved him like a Brother. But the war really did a number on him mentally and he came back addicted to Heroin. Until it finally took his life. So, every time I hear this song, I think about my adopted brother; and pass a few tears in his memory. I like to think that in death, he finally found the Peace that War took away from him.
When he sang, “It doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you”, your mental gears had a stutter. Amazing. Glad he struck the right chords (pun intended) with you. Thank you for this one, Inna.
Great reaction Inna - thanks! AS you loved this song check out Heart of Gold from the same live performance. And if you want Neil Young Rockin in the Free World then try Cinnamon Girl with Crazy Horse ;)
Neil Young is a master singer/songwriter .... not to mention guitarist. I love him as a solo artist as well as in a group such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Great reaction. Take care......
Have you heard of the band "White Lion"? "When the Children Cry", is a great song... I just found you here, reacting to a great song... I will subscribe and look forward to your reactions... Awesome job! Nice Doggy!👍
Great reaction to this performance. There are so many great songs you have ahead of you. For a similar vibe try Heart of Gold. Also try Powderfinger, Hurricane, Cortez the Killer... so many more...
Notice how he is dressed, the same thing he was wearing at the ranch. he got in his truck and drove to the stage where he performed this song. No frills, he is not looking for fame or fortune, is very down to earth and just wants people to hear his music and what he has to say. That is just so REAL!
Listen to the Needle and the damage done, Cinnamon Girl, Down by the River, Southern Man, I believe in you, Look out for my love, Heart of Gold, Cortez the killer, Alabama, Helpless, Down by the river great classic songs by Neil Young
This has you can see is a BBC broadcast I believe in '71'? If you can take the time to watch the whole show, really shows his talent both has a singer and a composer.
We had real talent back then.I'd like to see any modern star go on stage live and do this.He's preforming songs he wrote himself. It's sad to see what passes as music anmd talent today.
Niel Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia, Leonard Cowen and Joni Michel are all Canadians that played in clubs in Yorkville in Toronto in the 60's. I lived there at that time and it was revolutionary.
Hello InnaSolo, Very nice to meet you!😄They just don’t make em’ like this guy anymore! His songs by himself and with other famous bands(Buffalo Springfield,Crosby Stills Nash and Young,Crazy Horse) were staples on rock radio when I was growing up! Truly one of a kind this man. Lyrically and musically he refused to be put in a box. That’s why he’s one of my personal heroes! Might I suggest a couple of my personal favorites that I think would really enjoy, one from his younger days and one from a bit more recently.”Cinnamon Girl and Harvest Moon!” The two together I think just begin to show his versatility musically! Enjoy✌️🫶❤🎶
I always liked his guitar playing. My older brother used to buy his albums the day they were released so I've been listening to him since before my teens (I'm 64 years old now) By the way, I don't know who put up the lyrics on the video you were watching but they were so wrong.
He does rock, he does folk, he does pop, he is considered the Godfather of grunge, he does it all. Watch him do Rockin' In The Free World live a the MTV music awards with Pearl Jam. Epic.
There is a group called Crosby Still and Nash. occasionally they teamed up with Neil Young to form CSN&Y. There is a song titled Southern Cross that is outstanding. I dont remember if all four sang on it .
Thank you for covering one of my favorite musicians. One of Neil's most emotional songs from that era is "The Needle and The Damage Done." I recommend it highly.
another great neil young song is "rockin in the free world" if you like that vibe, check out: father and son/cat Stevens my sweet lord/george Harrison ...those are both popular, big name requests one of my personal favorites isnt as main stream, band called Phish...songs of theres in this vein are: Waste Strange Design (strange design was written about the birth of his (trey anastasio) first child)... if you find this song by Phish, it was written by the guitarist but sung by the keyboardist, or you can look up Trey anastasio and he does a solo acoustic version)
I have loved Neil Youngs music for a long time going back to Super group Crosby Stills Nash and Young to his solo career but not really solo the band was Crazy Horse songs like Sugar Mountain, Hey Hey my my, Into the Black the way Neil and Crazy Horse dance with their guitars is classic. Than you still have Neil solo like Southern Man and Heart of Gold. Some even credit Neil as a founder of grunge, with songs like Rocking in The Free World. Neil is one of the best that ever did it.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that this was the first public performance of that song. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Such a great song, and such an incredible performance.
Neil Young has a Huge catalog of songs covering all genre's of music and all of it is good, but you liked this one then I highly recommend his song Sugar Mountain
Here are his three greatest songs by instruments Acoustic ----Thrasher Steel.......----Cortez the Killer Piano.......Such a Woman The last ones for you Inna.
A critic should take center stage… Frankly this young lady is very attractive… but the emotive display is a big distraction… Is this critique about Neil Young?….. because it feels…like so many of the other “critics” as listen to him… but LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE !
Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.
I met Neil Young as we were both waiting on a plane around Midnight in the Detroit Airport. He was so down to Earth and we talked for about twenty minutes about everything except music.
Are you familiar with the 60s-70s band Crosby, Stills & Nash? Neil Young was with them for a short while,& they were known as Crosby, Stills, Nash AND YOUNG (CSNY) then.
"Soul Sacrifice" Santana, live at Woodstock, 1969...If you do, would you please react to the 9:38 version?..It's the one from the film, and I think the best quality all around..It has the full amazing drum solo.
IMMACULATE and LEGIT INCREDIBLE!!! Very well put. I encourage you to listen ( on your channel or not) to the sty version with the added instruments. Neil has some gems though not for everyone. I've heard some bad remarks about his voice. HEART OF GOLD is great, SOUTHERN MAN is pretty famous or perhaps Infamous? Crosby, Stills, Nash and YOUNG you will absolutely love 💞 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Neil rules. One of the 4 pillars of great Canadian songwriters. The other 3 are Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Us Canadians consider all 4 National Treasures.
I rocked out and saw Neil for his Rust Never Sleeps tour.. if you want to hear him rock out. I also love his techno "Sample & Hold".. he even does doo-wop, very versatile
Since u said NY rocker so I think u were surprised by the song. Well u were part right so here's that part. Rocking in the free world. It's a later rock song by him. Now u've started with his early career & later stuff. The middle is a great journey into 1 of history's greatest artists. Enjoy!!!!
There's a version of Heart of Gold from same performance you MUST see...but roll it from the beginning and you see a little bit of the man himself peeking from behind the "curtain"
For more in the singer song writer genre, please react to James Taylor - Fire and Rain, and Carole King - It's To Late. Iconic songs from this generation of musicians. Ultimate talents who are "triple threats" - they wrote, played and sang their own songs. Masters who created masterpieces.
My favorite Neil Young song is Harvest Moon. It's a love song about a couple growing old together and it's basically the story of my relationship with my wife. It's important to both of us.
Enjoyed sharing that with you, but did any one else struggle with the inaccuracies of the the lyrics. Primarily , Oh man! It's Old man! For crying out loud the song is called Old Man !!
I hope that you were able to understand the lyrics he sings - the subtitles are full of mistakes ... it kept saying "Oh man", when of course it should show "old man", but where he sings "two", it's shown in subtitles as "to". Lots of other mistakes there as well! But yes, he has produced a lot of good work, most of it his own style of 'country/rock' music. Thanks for your reactions, they're great. It's like hearing the music for the first time all over again!

Those sub-titles are sooo wrong lol
Wow. I don't think I have EVER seen closed captioning so thoroughly SLAUGHTER the actual lyrics being sung.
Oh man, Look how they've massacred my lyrics
Another great song!!!
Keep researching these older groups…it will blow your mind!
Brilliant reaction, from a great musician, by the way you are very cute , all the best from Scotland ❤🏴
Neil Young can do it all……country, folk, rock and grunge before there was grunge…….incredible song writer with tons of hits……too many to list
Neil doesn't write hits he writes classics!
100%@@jamesascholl9216
Godfather of grunge

..."Heart of gold" is one cool classic by him 😊
...which I'd butchered at an Open Mic event a few weeks ago, too 🙈😅
Neil Young is considered one of the top twenty all time greatest rock lyricists, and rock guitarists. He has a unique voice, and many great softer acoustic and rock style songs. His vocals and lyrics are touching, and play with your emotions.

Didn't know he was from Canada. That explains a lot about his cucked political views.
Yes indeed....and California adopted Neil years ago.
@@bcpme8637 yep. Communists adopting more Communists.

Great reaction Inna - thanks! AS you loved this song check out Heart of Gold from the same live performance. And if you want Neil Young Rockin in the Free World then try Cinnamon Girl with Crazy Horse ;)
Arguably his best song of all time.
Neil Young was part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. All artists (and Groups) that are worth digging in too.
Neil Young is a master singer/songwriter .... not to mention guitarist. I love him as a solo artist as well as in a group such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Great reaction. Take care......
Such a monster artist...The Rust Never Sleeps movie is the best representation of Neil's work...His work with Crosby, Stills and Nash is exemplary...
I'm not the biggest Neil Young fan, but this song and performance are amazing.
Thanks for reacting to it.
this is what talent looks like
Have you heard of the band "White Lion"? "When the Children Cry", is a great song... I just found you here, reacting to a great song... I will subscribe and look forward to your reactions... Awesome job! Nice Doggy!👍
In my book a guy alone on stage with a guitar is magical. This performance has it all. Thanks for reacting to this one Inna.
You got that right! What a magical performance. Neil and an acoustic guitar. Perfection.
Great reaction to this performance. There are so many great songs you have ahead of you. For a similar vibe try Heart of Gold. Also try Powderfinger, Hurricane, Cortez the Killer... so many more...
Another great Neil Young song from this concert is Heart of Gold. You will really like it
The brilliant Neil Young ❤ 🇨🇦
Neil Young "Only Love Can Break Your Heart"...Classic.
For lyrics.....Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Bread, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Rush......
I had this song played at my fathers funeral
Notice how he is dressed, the same thing he was wearing at the ranch. he got in his truck and drove to the stage where he performed this song. No frills, he is not looking for fame or fortune, is very down to earth and just wants people to hear his music and what he has to say. That is just so REAL!
Well, since this was filmed in the UK, I don't think he just left his ranch.
Very nice! You might want to try Harvest moon!❤
Listen to the Needle and the damage done, Cinnamon Girl, Down by the River, Southern Man, I believe in you, Look out for my love, Heart of Gold, Cortez the killer, Alabama, Helpless, Down by the river great classic songs by Neil Young
the sad truth is that someone at the age of 24 will never understand what this means until the reach the age of 54
Im 24 and i love neil young, so hah!
Speak only for yourself please
Dang, so I guess Neil Young didn’t know what this song meant when he wrote it
Maybe not today's young
Absolutely
This has you can see is a BBC broadcast I believe in '71'? If you can take the time to watch the whole show, really shows his talent both has a singer and a composer.
We had real talent back then.I'd like to see any modern star go on stage live and do this.He's preforming songs he wrote himself. It's sad to see what passes as music anmd talent today.
Beautiful and soulful. Nothing more to say.
Beautiful song beautiful voice beautiful man.
Neil Young, named The Godfather of Grundge.
Haha ive never heard that before
Uncle Neil
Niel Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia, Leonard Cowen and Joni Michel are all Canadians that played in clubs in Yorkville in Toronto in the 60's. I lived there at that time and it was revolutionary.
He is truly a living legend and one of the greatest song writers of his or any generation.
Nice choice of song for NY, however Harvest moon or Heart of gold would have been better in my opinion.
Nice reaction to an amazing artist! 🌹
Hello InnaSolo, Very nice to meet you!😄They just don’t make em’ like this guy anymore! His songs by himself and with other famous bands(Buffalo Springfield,Crosby Stills Nash and Young,Crazy Horse) were staples on rock radio when I was growing up! Truly one of a kind this man. Lyrically and musically he refused to be put in a box. That’s why he’s one of my personal heroes! Might I suggest a couple of my personal favorites that I think would really enjoy, one from his younger days and one from a bit more recently.”Cinnamon Girl and Harvest Moon!” The two together I think just begin to show his versatility musically! Enjoy✌️🫶❤🎶
"Cortez the Killer" live in Brazil is very good. It's Neil Young and Crazy Horse which is a totally different energy.
Sitting around the fire pit w/ one's favorite beverage & Neil unplugged w/ harmonic - doesn't get much better.
I always liked his guitar playing. My older brother used to buy his albums the day they were released so I've been listening to him since before my teens (I'm 64 years old now) By the way, I don't know who put up the lyrics on the video you were watching but they were so wrong.
Beautiful, soulful, and crystal clear. Wow! That guitar accompaniment, those chords. Complex simplicity equals artistic genius!
Differect cultuers. Different countrys. Different earas.
Music brings us all together. Great choice.. Thanks!
He does rock, he does folk, he does pop, he is considered the Godfather of grunge, he does it all. Watch him do Rockin' In The Free World live a the MTV music awards with Pearl Jam. Epic.
His voice was so... haunting
So full of feeling
Another artist that can tell an amazing story in very few words is Jim Croce. Can start with Operator if you haven't heard that one yet.
There is a group called Crosby Still and Nash. occasionally they teamed up with Neil Young to form CSN&Y. There is a song titled Southern Cross that is outstanding. I dont remember if all four sang on it .
Southern Cross is a favorite of mine, but Neil wasn't part of that, at least not in any recording I've heard.
Harvest Moon/ Neil Young
The irony is Neil Young is now an intolerant angry old man .
12 string guitar sounds beautiful this is the music i listened to growing up ❤❤
Thank you for covering one of my favorite musicians. One of Neil's most emotional songs from that era is "The Needle and The Damage Done." I recommend it highly.
Also I saw Neil Young at Boston tea party he played with his band crazy horse
Harvest Moon is a really nice one.
He also does rock songs with an electric guitar and was part of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young on some of their songs.
another great neil young song is "rockin in the free world"
if you like that vibe, check out:
father and son/cat Stevens
my sweet lord/george Harrison
...those are both popular, big name requests
one of my personal favorites isnt as main stream, band called Phish...songs of theres in this vein are:
Waste
Strange Design (strange design was written about the birth of his (trey anastasio) first child)... if you find this song by Phish, it was written by the guitarist but sung by the keyboardist, or you can look up Trey anastasio and he does a solo acoustic version)
I have loved Neil Youngs music for a long time going back to Super group Crosby Stills Nash and Young to his solo career but not really solo the band was Crazy Horse songs like Sugar Mountain, Hey Hey my my, Into the Black the way Neil and Crazy Horse dance with their guitars is classic. Than you still have Neil solo like Southern Man and Heart of Gold. Some even credit Neil as a founder of grunge, with songs like Rocking in The Free World. Neil is one of the best that ever did it.
Now he's the old man.
Hello Inna!!
Welcome to the Neil Young's world. Keep exploring it. You will not regret.
Greetings form Argentina.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that this was the first public performance of that song. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Such a great song, and such an incredible performance.
Neil Young has a Huge catalog of songs covering all genre's of music and all of it is good, but you liked this one then I highly recommend his song Sugar Mountain
This whole performance at the BBC was incredible
Here are his three greatest songs by instruments
Acoustic ----Thrasher
Steel.......----Cortez the Killer
Piano.......Such a Woman
The last ones for you Inna.
A critic should take center stage…
Frankly this young lady is very attractive… but the emotive display is a big distraction…
Is this critique about Neil Young?….. because it feels…like so many of the other “critics” as listen to him… but LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE !
I suggest the song Frankenstein, 1973 live version by the Edgar Winter Group. You will be surprised.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse= Rock(full electric) . Neil young = acoustic and then you have Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young. Hope this helps.
Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.
I met Neil Young as we were both waiting on a plane around Midnight in the Detroit Airport. He was so down to Earth and we talked for about twenty minutes about everything except music.
Imagine being the Rancher-“Old Man” and hearing this song on the radio that was just wrote about you.
Are you familiar with the 60s-70s band Crosby, Stills & Nash? Neil Young was with them for a short while,& they were known as Crosby, Stills, Nash AND YOUNG (CSNY) then.
"Soul Sacrifice" Santana, live at Woodstock, 1969...If you do, would you please react to the 9:38 version?..It's the one from the film, and I think the best quality all around..It has the full amazing drum solo.
Go find Neil's AFTER THE GOLD RUSH album. Start there.
You will like "Harvest Moon" if you liked this. "Like A Hurricane" really rocks as does "Touch The Night"
IMMACULATE and LEGIT INCREDIBLE!!! Very well put. I encourage you to listen ( on your channel or not) to the sty version with the added instruments. Neil has some gems though not for everyone. I've heard some bad remarks about his voice. HEART OF GOLD is great, SOUTHERN MAN is pretty famous or perhaps Infamous? Crosby, Stills, Nash and YOUNG you will absolutely love 💞 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
The love he's looking for comes from FATHER GOD and no one else our savoir the LORD JESUS CHRIST
Neil rules. One of the 4 pillars of great Canadian songwriters. The other 3 are Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Us Canadians consider all 4 National Treasures.
I was a young man listening to this song. Now I'm older, and I can say that I am a lot like I was.
Please do HEART OF GOLD Live from same concert by Neil Young
Why dont you react to Journey " whos crying now" . React to their live performance in Houston Tx. 1981. See what ya think!
He did write this song about something in his life he bought a ranch from 2 attorneys and there was an older man that lived on the ranch
I rocked out and saw Neil for his Rust Never Sleeps tour.. if you want to hear him rock out. I also love his techno "Sample & Hold".. he even does doo-wop, very versatile
Since u said NY rocker so I think u were surprised by the song. Well u were part right so here's that part. Rocking in the free world. It's a later rock song by him. Now u've started with his early career & later stuff. The middle is a great journey into 1 of history's greatest artists. Enjoy!!!!
Check out these songs by Neil:
Heart of Gold
Rockin' in the free world
Harvest moon
Southern Man
There's a version of Heart of Gold from same performance you MUST see...but roll it from the beginning and you see a little bit of the man himself peeking from behind the "curtain"
A Canadian musician who was part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for a while. You should listen to Like a Hurricane and Heart of Gold too.
For more in the singer song writer genre, please react to James Taylor - Fire and Rain, and Carole King - It's To Late. Iconic songs from this generation of musicians. Ultimate talents who are "triple threats" - they wrote, played and sang their own songs. Masters who created masterpieces.
That song is on an album called Harvest (one of my first). I think you'll like it ✌️
My favorite Neil Young song is Harvest Moon. It's a love song about a couple growing old together and it's basically the story of my relationship with my wife. It's important to both of us.
Enjoyed sharing that with you, but did any one else struggle with the inaccuracies of the the lyrics. Primarily , Oh man! It's Old man! For crying out loud the song is called Old Man !!
I hope that you were able to understand the lyrics he sings - the subtitles are full of mistakes ... it kept saying "Oh man", when of course it should show "old man", but where he sings "two", it's shown in subtitles as "to". Lots of other mistakes there as well! But yes, he has produced a lot of good work, most of it his own style of 'country/rock' music. Thanks for your reactions, they're great. It's like hearing the music for the first time all over again!
