- This live cut was taken from Neil's Silver & Gold Live Video, released in 1999.
Neil Young: Silver & Gold is a live video by Neil Young performing solo on acoustic guitar and piano. All but the last song were performed at Austin, Texas' Bass Concert Hall during his 1999 solo acoustic tour. In my opinion this is the most beautiful rendition of the song....

Whos here listening 2024💖
Fantastic tune and performer.
@@alantaylor2117 never quite leaves me
I just watched the movie for the 3rd time in my life... Always leaves me a new life lesson... 😢
Me. 5/20/24
me ..5/25/24
Streets of Philadelphia is amazing, but when this song plays at the end of the movie you can't help but cry. Its about much more than AIDS. You think about family, friends, who's there for you when things aren't easy, about how no one wants to be alone...I could go on.
So much true.
My thoughts exactly, every time I listen to this. Philadelphia resident '96-'14
Better than Streets of Philadelphia, no doubt. fact.
WELL SAID CARAMEL SPICE
This song always brings tears to my eyes
This is so simple a piano piece and melody but, it hits your heart like a ton of bricks. One of the most moving, haunting songs I've ever heard.
Not that simple. Can't play it like Neil.
The magic of Neil
It’s a beautiful beautiful song, makes me cry especially watching the end of Philadelphia. Thank you Neil Young.
Neil was my husbands favorite performer. I had this song played at his funeral. I cry every time I hear it..
I'm so sorry. I love Neil Young. ❤
It is a beautiful song.
Magic
💔
❤️
You were robbed of the Oscar that year, Neil. The words, your voice, those notes coming off the piano…pure magic!
This song will forever remind me of my Uncle that I lost in 1991 to the Aids epidemic. He was a Philly native and one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known. I hope you are peace, Uncle…we sure do miss you.❤️
this should have won the oscar!
Movie didn't. But Tom got for his perfomance.
I whole heartedly agree!!!
This song embodied what the movie was about. It was just a popularity contest and springsteen won for a song that had nothing to do with the movie...
@@sheri4c2 I agree it should have but what are you talking about in regards to Streets of Philadelphia? Read the lyrics and explain how it had nothing to do with the movie
@@sheri4c2 So true!
At 75. I still cannot NOT cry when I listen to this. I was born in the Suburbs of Philly, and never took it as seriously until I heard this done by him at the Oscars. Beautiful doesn't say enough.
How can Neil Young be such a genius song writer and performer? Beautiful and the piano composition so moving. Breaks my heart for my loved ones. His spirit is magical.
Impossible to explain. It’s genius.
30 years ago when Philadelphia was released with the amazing movie 1993..this song was up for an OSCAR..my daughter who is now 40 was 10 and grew up listening to Neil Young...his music use to wake our kids up in the morning...anyway her teacher asked the class to vote on the oscars that year and write and essay...she wrote a beautiful essay about this song, 'Philadelphia" and why she thinks it should win the OSCAR and it blew me away....thank you Neil for years of inspiration and song.
Kudos, great memories 🌹
This should have won the oscar over Bruce I have to say.
alexxxandder No doubt. Even Bruce admitted Neil Young's, Philadelphia, should've won.
alexxxandder Sono tutte e 2 molto belle.L'Oscar lo ha vinto per il testo.
They could have gave the oscar to both. I mean, why not ! The two are really great songs by really great artists.
I'm a huge Bruce fan and i agree with you, @alexxxandder
I heard Bruce tried to pull his song from consideration the first time he heard this because he thought it deserved to win
The lyrics to this are so beautiful, and Neil young is an amazing artist.BRAVO🎉🎉
The 45 people who disliked this obviously have no soul.
Andrew Perriello maybe they hit the wrong button because of the tears...it’s the only explanation.
perhaps the song hit them too much were it hurts...
Perhaps they are polka types?
They don't 😠
This is the ONE song that reminds me of how fragile families and relationships can be. I'm a GROWN-ASSED MAN and still can't watch the ending of the film "Philadelphia" and not break down and cry...
Beautifully said
Didn't know ass had a past participle.
Gender has Nothing to do with it
You have emotions and a heart
God bless you friend/Brother
@@christophersimpson9730 why don't you just shut your mouth
@@phatfatgurl keep your opinions to yourself, you're not helping anyone and you just need attention desperately
This song murders your heart and then resurrects it.
This cuts me to the bone.
A hauntingly beautiful masterpiece.
this is what music is all about.. the expression of the human spirit
This song never fails to touch my heart. Such a stunning hauntingly beautiful masterpiece.
One of the Sadest songs...think of anyone you've Loved that has past...you'll lose it.😔
Haunting song. Reminds me of people who I've loved and lost, alive and gone, who passed in and out of my life. We are the only constants in our own lives...until we too are gone.
Lovely and poetic
So beautiful my friend, so beautiful...
Wow. You gave me shivers
Same here my friend.
Well stated my friend
One of the most poignant sad songs I have ever heard. Absolutely gets you right in the heart and runs out of your eyes. Couldn’t possibly have been a dry eye at the end of the movie.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
This always brings me to tears, as it did the first time I heard it. My youngest brother passed in 2000 from AIDS. His last days were so lonely, and it drove him to do things we should never be proud to speak about. To this day. I cannot watch the movie, or hear those eerie notes of love for a fellow human being, alone until the end.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, this song always makes me cry too. Even without watching the movie
I am so sorry. Much love to you.
Better than the Bosses song, for sure. This song juxtaposed with the video of the Tom Hank's character as a kid playing on the beach could jerk tears from Isis members.
Both have their place. Awards aren't everything.
One of the most heartfelt songs ever written. His compassion is palpable.
don't turn your back on me. this song brought on the tears, and my older and most dearest brother had just died of AIDS. John went next, other reasons. Both the best-hearted people.
+audrey papke God bless you and your brothers.
audrey papke--I'm so incredibly sorry...
audrey i feel your pain dear may god bless and sustain you friend
Sorry
BEAUTIFUL SONG BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES EVERY TIME. THANK YOU NEIL FOR YOUR COMPASSION. 😘🙏♥️♥️.
This song literally kills homophobia by pointing out the humanity of all of us and the fragility of our lives. It's cosmic and sublime, a true masterpiece.
So beautiful. Thank you for this Neil. 🤍
I very rarely get emotional at films but this had me in absolute bits!
i cry everytime i hear this song. its unbeleivable
same here, i'm crying right now
My father wanted to die at home,he wanted to live as long as possible. You can do anything with love when helping your a parent leave in peace
I absolutely love the movie "Philadelphia" and this particular song tugs at the heart. Bravo Tom Hanks. You're one in a million actors I never tire of seeing on the big screen. The movie has ended and I'm still cryin.
Don't forget Denzel. The twonof then were a force in that movie.
With Neil Young it's never just about the lyrics, or the music, or the singing. It's all about the synergy. The synergy is the magic.
Yes.....the melody is very simple, but Neil Young feels the song with his heart.
Everything.
Perfect
A friend of mine back in the mid 80’s asked who I thought was the most talented person in mainstream music. Not the best this or best that, but just plain overall talented . I said IMO. Mr. Young is #2. Gotta give the top spot to Stevie. I couldn’t say who #3 is.
Saw him last night at the Dolby. Just incredible. His voice and delivery is still just as effortless. He played this song. I stopped breathing and just cried silent, sloppy tears. I feel blessed to have seen him live. Sincerely, the luckiest girl in the world
Rest easy my friend
“ and When I see the light, I know it’ll be all right” that’s deep Neil.
One of best songs ever in film history, it's so sad to fit in the movie. After watching Philadelphia, its melody running a rounding my ears, lingering in my mind.
jessie xie it's pretty shocking that Neil Young never released this on a record, or a best hits, he wrote it exclusively for the film, and the official soundtrack is the only way to get it.SO GOOD though. I thought it was built to spill when I first heard it in the movie....I don't mean to be rude but i'm not used to hearing such shockingly amazing music coming from long established acts. but that's fresh as a rose. if it was written yesterday it would be just as powerful and awesome.
Brutal but so beautiful
'...Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone' ...man, that's rough
I am crying at every times I listen to this song
SO much Better than the studio version for sure...He deserved the Oscar for this..
I watched Philadelphia for the first time only last night! Stunning. I cried buckets at the end. Can't believe I've never heard this song...... I immediately bought the movie soundtrack & have been listening to this track all day. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Touching, sad, serene...words can't describe...
Amazing. It truly is an incredible film and soundtrack.
I've got my friends in the world,/ I had my friends/ When we were boys and girls/ And the secrets came unfurled. -One of the deepest, saddest, most beautiful verses I've ever heard. Brings love back into the world.
Brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it
I tear up everytime I hear this....
You have no idea man...
me too and im almost 7ft tall 350 lbs...but apparently, my heart is bigger than that. ;)
I was 8 when Philadelphia came out. To this day, it is one of my all-time favorites. I cannot hear this song without crying.
I can understand how this haunting master piece didnt receive the Oscar . Simply an Oscar would not have done it justice ! Neil Young is a long time favourite of this old guy ! He is an absolute genius with words and music !
If you remember the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Danzel Washington this will give you chills.
Wonderful movie. I've cried a lot.
And for those of us, who have had that one of a kind of love
Absolutely brilliant. Brings tears to everyone. Should have won the Oscar.
This is a song worth remembering every single day!
Listening to this song makes me sad, but it also clear my head😕 he plays this piano beautifully!!!
Beautiful beyond words.........
it amazes me that he can get through this song.
I watched this movie two days ago. Yesterday, I went to my uncle's house for a small gathering. After everyone else had left, my partner and I stayed talking to him and his husband. It was then he told me he had terminal cancer, and the grand piano that was sitting behind me, the one that he had taught me piano on, was going to me.
Sublime, unica, irripetibile, grande Neil.
Philadelphia is my all-time favourite film and this is by far the best track - so very moving
This one of the most beatiful truthful honest master piece of songs i love the geniuses of music neil
i felt no one could make a sadder song than this ..
Huge Neil Young fan and this is one of my favourite tracks of his, sends chills up my spine.
This is such a beautiful song. have been a fan of Neil Young since the 60s. He is a gifted songwriter and performer. I enjoyed his piano playing on this video. I love all his songs.
A talented composer and songwriter for sure but sadly, a poor example of community. I love Neil's work, but his politics suck.
I AGREE....LOVE his music💖💝

We Were Born To Rock We'll Never Be Opera Stars.
I just feel so calm, then comes down my gentleman tears.
Still appreciating the depth of this beautiful song.
Been fan of Neil since 1972. I will die with him in my mind and heart.
He is incredible. I can't believe I passed up seeing him live. I'll go next time he comes around
Just sayin', this is the one that should have won the Oscar. Less majestic than Springsteen's song, but much more intimate. And the lyric "I won't be ashamed of love" says it all; respect, empathy, and introspection from someone who is himself "straight." No disrespect to The Boss, because his song is amazing as well. Tough call, but this is the one that does it for me.
Bruce made a statement when he won the oscar, He shared it with Neil, he said on stage.
I’m crying just for what you wrote. I’ve been a fan of Neil’s since 1967. He can swing and miss. But when he connects everybody feels it. A towering genius of song. For so many years.
Did not Neil could play the Piano this well, always thought this was him singing but not playing it. One thing about Neil is his Voice has not changed for decades,
Funeral song for my father Michael. Beautiful
One of the the most beautiful songs. Means so much to everyone.
Love this DVD. I remember counting down the days until it was released. Big fan of this song, and of course the movie, and this version just absolutely destroyed me.
Started to cry on a crowded bus, not only from Neils angelic song, but from remembering a man I loved, long gone, still 24 years old.
this is one of the saddest songs ever written i would have loved to see the faces of the audience after
Yes very nice...but Mid Air by Paul Buchannon takes 1st prize.
It's 2023, still powerful ! Neil is awesome !!
Absolutely !
Just cannot say how much I love this song. Best song on the soundtrack.
How do you even write something like that .. it’s just amazing God bless us all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🍷
Such a powerful song! The message gets you every time 😢
Hauntingly beautiful song, sounds just the same live. Thank you Neil Young.
I think the song that won should have been...BOTH of them! They complement each other, they are like a set. I can't help but think of the other when one is played. It makes sense, too, like the concept of brotherly love...sharing the award
I just came here to remember my passed away relatives and cry a lot. This song is pure gold for emotions.
I never realised this was Neil Young .....it breaks my heart every time I hear it and see that closing sequence
One of the most devastating and beautiful songs ever written.
Great Movie & Great Song!! They definitely tug at your heart strings, bravo! ❤️
The one constant of true talent always seems to be it's seemingly invisible
ability to draw you into the beauty .
I love this song and movie !!!!
Chrys Paula Jovi you are beautiful
My friend has AIDS :( this song is very painful for me to hear, I hope he sees the light and knows it will be alright
hauntingly beautiful!
I feel like I'm watching something sacred. 💔
this song is part of saying goodbye to my little sister soon! I luv her so much!
This song is beautiful I just can’t remember hearing such a great song
That actually touches your heart
what a wimp i am,,,,,,,i am weeping like a 6 year old girl,,,,someone tell me i am not alone in feeling this way?
+Dave Simpson It isn’t weakness that is causing you pain and sorrow, it is strength of character. The ability to love and to care about what happens to other human beings is something for which to feel pride, not shame. I cry too. You are in good company based on many other responses to this post and another of the same song that I have seen. Nurture this strength of character you have. You will never regret it. I don't.
@@JLHunter61 Very true and well said.💗😎👍
@@MonsterSound Why, thank you. I thought that he could use a little pick-me-up, and besides, like you said, it was all true. Thanks again, Ace
Not alone. I'm 41
your not😥
Just Perfect Neil!!!!!!!!!!
we all won . both great songs
Every time an artist perform something like this he is giving a part of himself that is gone forever, every time and it is our duty to pass this energy on and keep it alive.
That's sush a lovely song by NEIL.Deserved the oscar too.
I am always so moved whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of the pain and heartache that I associate with the death of my brother from Aids in 1987 ... If I may borrow Neil's melodic and hauntingly emotional creation, I dedicate it to the memory of my brother for all of the feelings that swell up within me. Whenever I watch the last scenes in the movie, I cannot hold back my tears as director Johnathan Demme' brings those last painful but precious memories back to me.
I LOVED YOU GARY HAMILTON..WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL..REST IN PEACE BABY. I STILL THINK ABOUT YOU TO THIS DAY...EVERYDAY
Another masterpiece performed by Neil Young. Now I have another N.Y song to add to my playlist list. Thrasher will always be my favorite.
I just watched this movie and boy my heart broke again and my eyes are so swollen. I've seen tis about 6 times and it always tears me up.
I cried like a baby when I watched this movie. I love Neil Young - this song hurts my heart, but I love it and could listen to this 20 or 30 thousand times.
💔 Cette chanson... Est le condensé , épuré...qui représente toute la sensibilité de Neil Young !... Je l'écoute , réécoute...des dizaines de fois.... C'est.... Déchirant, doux, simple, émouvant, sans mélo... Comme 1 copain qui jouerait simplement, de tout son cœur ( comme dans 37°2 (Betty BLUE)...Grand moment !....❤️
The saddest and one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard ❤
God, this is incredibly beautiful and moving. I absolutely love it. ❤️
Lyrics:
Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.
I've got my friends in the world,
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled.
City of brotherly love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone
Love lasts forever.
Someone is talking to me,
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love.
Philadelphia,
City of brotherly love.
Brotherly love.
Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.
Philadelphia
Una canción profundamente sentida, impresionante, un grande Neil
