      The studio version of this song is also incredible, with added back up vocals, and instruments. Neil Young has been called the godfather of grunge. "Keep on Rockin in the Free World" is quite epic collaboration with Pearl Jam. "Heart of Gold" breaks me down inside every time. Same with with Old Man too.

      Oh my I can tell you of a song by this artist that's so killer Van. I've always loved it as I have many of the songs he's performed. He has such a uniqueness about him and you're right he draws you in. He sings from within truly. The name of the song I think I like most well hard to pick just one but WILD HORSES is the one that is just beautiful to me. Just sayin'.thank youVan

    I've seen Neil Young half a dozen times since the 70s, solo and with various musicians (Crazy Horse too!) and no one moves from style to style the way he does. "Comes a Time" is a lovely song, "Powderfinger" is a killer story with loud distortion, and "Rockin' in the Free World" just shreds.

    Neil Young is one of those singular sort of performers in music...he delivers a sound you didn't know you needed to hear until you hear it. Fills a hole that you didn't know was there. Like Ray Charles, like Pink Floyd, like Michael Jackson, like David Bowie and whatever other unique examples - you can't get their sound from anyone but them. It makes you wonder if there's many more 'sounds' out there that we're still waiting for someone to come along and discover for us that only they can channel to us.

    Neil Young still lives there. He does have a great voice. He also is a great songwriter. I started playing when I was 12 yrs old. I don’t know if it was because I was a genius or stubborn and determined to do so because my dad and brother played. 😂😂....and I’m pretty sure it definitely wasn’t because I was a genius. Now I’m old and it hurts my hands to play but I still love hearing people that can. Check out “Heart of Gold” “Ohio” is a must. “After the Gold Rush” and these songs when he was part of Crosby, Stills and Nash. “Teach Your Children” “Our House” “Helpless” “Love the One You’re With” “Carry On”. That’s just a few. Young’s songwriting ability and the ability to tell a story was Genius!!

    The live version was the right choice. Long live, Neil Young.

    I like how you show the videos in full screen and yourself in the cameo - not many other reactioners do that. Excellent vibe. Neil Young - genius.

    I don't care what he says publicly, I believe this is about his father.

    Unique on so many levels. A true legend and human.

    I have just loved any and everything Niel Young has ever sang. Crosby Stills and Nash were all the better after Niel Young joined them.
    In this same smaller intimate setting he also sings Harvest Moon. It's to his woman.
