Nothing wrong with samples in Neil has used them. He really embraced technology and varied studio techniques. You sound like a bitter old person the same person you desilked when older generations said you music was trash and don't think they didn't.
Neil Young is one of the greats in Rock-N-Roll. Apart from being part of Crosby, Stills Nash, & Young, he has been performing for decades. He has many amazing and beautiful songs. Please react to more Neil Young.
I have the greatest respect for somebody who can sing a song and play the guitar and make it so good you remember that forever. It is so hard to pull off and not many can do it well like Neil. Great song, great picking and unique voice. Another awesome video Emma!
I have always said that you can discern the true masters when they are stripped down to the very basics and are still fantastic. Neil Young is still performing to this day.
Neil Young has always been under-rated as a composer and singer. He still has millions of fans around the world. I like his songs because they all have a story to tell. Good reaction Emma!
Great song to start your Neil Young journey! I Luv this song! Other song to listen to by NY are: Heart of Gold & Harvest Moon to start. Thanks Emma ❤️💛
I agree Emma, his voice is warm and soft, but also bright and clear. He doesn't mumble- you can hear all the words. One of the most unique and distinct voices in Pop music. Yes, Neil was only 24 at the time but already mature and weathered.
When CSNY played at MSG in 2000, it was a sold out show, and i was bummed, at first. I drove for a Taxi company at the time and was playing some Neil Young, while taking people all over northern NJ. I picked up a regular customer who would tell me she had seats to the CSNY show at the garden, but she could not attend. I snatched them up right away. Of course she did not have to pay anything for the cab trip or the following one. A great trade for excellent music.
First time I heard this song, thanks to my brother Herb RIP. I am now 64. Had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Young live. In around 1998. Awesome experience
Neil is now 78, and the album Harvest, that features this song, came out in 1972, so that would have made him 25 or 26. in fact the big surprise is that this performance was on color video tape, not 16 mm black and white film, or cave painting. I would imagine he still performs this from time to time, because he enjoys the irony. My favorite is a Crosby, Stills song called Teach Your Children, which has a timeless message on mentorship.
Thank you Emma, that was a truly beautiful, warmhearted and poignant reaction; And as you always do Emma, a nice and respectful explanation of the building blocks of the Song mixed in, and I much appreciate your input as it helps a philistine like myself discern the music that little bit more; It just goes to show that a top-notch artiste can deliver a great performance with just an Acoustic guitar or say a piano and the set pared right back and raw talent. And lastly, how do you manage to always look so drop dead gorgeous, and captivating. 🥰❤👍🤟👏🎵🎶🎙🎤💐.
A favorite. Song, and reaction. Song I've been listening to, and playing, for many years. I've seen Neil perform twice. Both times very different: The solo on stage with guitars and an upright piano Neil, and the loud, rocking Neil with a tight, energetic group. Your reaction is, as usual, genuine and insightful. Thanks for all this. :)
The music of Neil Young has inspired and influenced many talented artists and groups that came after him. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alanis Morrisette just to name a few. He’s the “ godfather of grunge “.
Great reaction, Heart of Gold, Southern Man, Harvest Moon, and "The Needle and the Damage Done" are just a few great ones . There are many others. He also was a part of "Crosby , Stills, Nash , and Young", who had many great hits.
What Neil has! great stuff: rust never sleeps, sugar mountain, heart of gold,cowgirls in the sand (my fav), four dead in ohio, like a huricane , and more. play em all!
That was a lovely breakdown of a true legend's voice. I've seen this video many times and off course, on the iconic Harvest album. Apart from some CSNY songs, I'd never really heard of Neil Young, by brother got me into him, playing this and other songs from NY on his acoustic to me. He tried to teach me some of Neil's chords but I was rubbish. I repaid bruv at least for introducing me to the great man, by taking him to see Neil headlining a festival, here in the UK.
Stumbled upon this reaction video by accident enticed by this old favourite song.I'm a Yes fan but I took a leap in the dark for Harvest(also After the Gold Rush)and was richly rewarded.You have a lovely voice for nighttime radio!
Solo Neil Young is a sweet country performer, but band Neil Young was at first a lead rock guitarist, then part of the legendary Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young......but always the crazy front man for Crazy Horse. To be blown away by the crazy Neil, react to the live Crazy Horse performance of Hey Hey My My ( rock n roll will never die ). The video with the young girl ( looks like a future nun ) banging her head into the stage in time to Neils guitar solo. lol
YES EMMA, HE SAID 24 AND SO MUCH MORE DEAR! 😊SO THIS IS FROM BACK IN ( 70 ) EMMA, A GREAT BBC SHOW CONCERT💯 AND NOWWWWW NEIL'S THE OLD MAN, YIKESSSS!😮HE HAS A HUGE CATALOG OF SONGS JUST LIKE ( ELTON JOHN ) SAME THING, HUNDREDS OF SONGS, ANOTHER SONG FROM THIS SHOW WAS : HEART OF GOLD, YOU'LL SEE NEIL SING, PLAY GUITAR AND ALSO HARMONICA👍HOPE YOU GET TO DIG INTO NEIL'S SUPER AWESOMEMUSICAL WORKS EMMA! CYA GIRL!
Neil could write a touching song about anything or anybody. He wven wrote one of his prettiest ballads about Richard Nixon, a man who he despised and sang about in negative light several times. You should check that song out and be the first RUclips reactor to do so. Its called Campaigner. He saw Nixon crying on TV after his wife had a stroke, and wrote a pretty sympathetic aong about it. He was really moved by the real emotion he saw from a guy who had been barely human in his eyes. He later said "I guess i felt sorry for Nixon that night".
One part of Neil's voice is sometimes described as a human embodiment of a lonesome timber wolf. He is a great teller of tales in song. One of his most harrowing is Needle and the Damage Done - and that album (Tonight's the Night) is a sustained emotional roller-coaster.
You know most of the time, I believe most of us, including serious Neil Young fans would probably say that he has a unique voice and they like it in that respect, but that he doesn't really have what you'd normally call a 'good' voice. However, in this performance, I think he sounds pretty darn great. Nice phrasing and warmth on the verses, and belting it out beautifully and with a lot of great expression and strength in the choruses. IMO, maybe his best vocal performance ever? Maybe his voice was kind of at a peak at round this time of his career? Anyway, pretty impressive I think.
Years ago Neil was in a band called Buffalo Springfield and he wrote and sang a song called Expecting To Fly . It is a hauntingly beautiful song and sends shivers down my spine even now.
Neil Young, Canadian, friend and contemporary with Joni Mitchell. You can hear the Canadianess in his voice. Was part of the group Crosby Stills Nash and Young, famous for their harmonies.
He has so many good songs. Every song in it is excellent. One of my favourites not on the album is Powderfinger. For more from Harvest I would recommend The Needle and the Damage Done, and the song Heart of Gold

I was 20 when this camd out. 72 now. Listening from both ends. Still incredible.
I'm only 45 but I was raised on this. Neil's lyrics are real poetry.
Actual musical talent.
No samples.
No auto tune.
No mush-mouth garbage.
Nothing wrong with samples in Neil has used them. He really embraced technology and varied studio techniques. You sound like a bitter old person the same person you desilked when older generations said you music was trash and don't think they didn't.
@@anthonyv6962 I wonder if he has Neil Young's 'Computer Age' album?
I love how one singer with nothing but a guitar and their voice can be so entertaining. Great reaction!!!
And that gorgeous fingerpicking on the guitar! My college roommate used to play this all the time. Haunting. Your fellow Canadian!
Neil Young - an institution, a living legend. Great choice, Emma!
Greetings from Germany! ✌
Rüdiger, du hast es genau richtig beschrieben
Oh the memories. I remember being 14 and I would put a transistor radio under my pillow and listen to this song on the radio.
Neil Young is one of the greats in Rock-N-Roll. Apart from being part of Crosby, Stills Nash, & Young, he has been performing for decades. He has many amazing and beautiful songs. Please react to more Neil Young.

The GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Neil Young!!!
Wow! This song resonated with me as a 14 year-old. Now that I am an old man myself, it still resonates with me from the "other side".
Stop this is wimpy and way overplayed by the loser brigade....need Neil's ROCK DOWN BY THE RIVER
He as quite a few great songs!
Neil Young has always been under-rated as a composer and singer. He still has millions of fans around the world. I like his songs because they all have a story to tell. Good reaction Emma!
I was raised to Neil Young, he's my parents' favorite artist. Their wedding song is Harvest Moon.
Great song to start your Neil Young journey! I Luv this song! Other song to listen to by NY are: Heart of Gold & Harvest Moon to start. Thanks Emma ❤️💛
❤❤❤
HEART OF GOLD and CINNAMON GIRL are a couple of his great songs.
In picking a " Cinnamon Girl " video I would suggest from the 1991 tour... all of the women are signing and dancing and having a grand ole time
Cinnamon girl but not wimpy bot top 40 AM TRASH....NEED his rock
@jaybo2023 great Idea...also need Southern Man from 4 way street where Stills and Young trade lead guitar instead of wimpy acoustic
Neil is unique
I agree Emma, his voice is warm and soft, but also bright and clear. He doesn't mumble- you can hear all the words. One of the most unique and distinct voices in Pop music. Yes, Neil was only 24 at the time but already mature and weathered.
Its amazing how different people listen to music and what they pick up on. And how you explain it. Makes me hear things differently, kinda cool
My favourite day ever was going with my Da to one of his concerts❤
he is prolific! a case can be made that he has the largest music catalog ever!
Incredibly talented performer and a prolific songwriter. One of his more popular songs is
“Cinnamon Girl”
But he has MANY wonderful songs.
thanks

Love Neil
Great reaction Emma! Neil has a large library of hits... Always looking forward to seeing more of you!
Neil Young is a living legend.

I would imagine he still performs this from time to time, because he enjoys the irony. My favorite is a Crosby, Stills song called Teach Your Children, which has a timeless message on mentorship.
He performed it in London's Hyde Park, on the same bill as Dylan, just a few years ago.
It was 1972 not 1965. Everything was color by then. The song says 24 and there’s so much more, so he should’ve been 24 when he wrote it.
I use to run home to play my brothers record harvest & gold rush before he came home
It would of been made for a TV tapings thats why its video.
Weep for us, we were kids when this song came out.
Just starting high school, even being 24 was in the future for me. Now I’m the “old man”.
Brilliant artist.
Needle and damage done. His strum tempo is epic. Btw
i love when you see folk songs heartwarming
So many songs he's got that will jus...blo u away.. under the word "talent" IS.. Neil Young
SO MANY songs. 😊 He blows a mean harmonica too.
Such a beautiful song
My favourite Neil Young song is Like a hurricane
Thank you Emma, that was a truly beautiful, warmhearted and poignant reaction; And as you always do
Emma, a nice and respectful explanation of the building blocks of the Song mixed in, and I much appreciate

🥰❤👍🤟👏🎵🎶🎙🎤💐.
Hi Emma! Great seeing you again, It's a great song I was in my teens when I heard it! 66 yo now!
Cinnamon Girl, Needle and the Damage Done, Harvest Moon, Heart of Gold, Helpless, After the Gold Rush, Down By the River, and many more
Neil Young is an old man now. It's ironic when he sings it after the turn of the Century in 2000. Love you Neil!❤😊
A Canadian icon. We all love and enjoy Neil. He has quite a list of hits, check him out. "Go Canada" !! :)
I agree with the other comments HEART OF GOLD, he's a great songwriter 👍🍀
A favorite. Song, and reaction. Song I've been listening to, and playing, for many years. I've seen Neil perform twice.

Another 70s classic, my sister's albums omg
The music of Neil Young has inspired and influenced many talented artists and groups that came after him. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alanis Morrisette just to name a few. He’s the “ godfather of grunge “.
heart of gold
This woman gave a most refreshing, professional review of this work, I’m not easily impressed but I am impressed now! Thank you 🙏
Great reaction, Heart of Gold, Southern Man, Harvest Moon, and "The Needle and the Damage Done" are just a few great ones . There are many others. He also was a part of "Crosby , Stills, Nash , and Young", who had many great hits.
And they had many wimp acoustic ones!!! Why 4 Way Street must be heard....live leads no wimp
ahh you are in for a treat. Beautiful performance.
James Taylor-Fire and Rain- Live on BBC- DO IT!!!!!
Great reaction. Two for you. Heart of Gold and as someone mentioned Harvest Moon. You'll love them.
Can't wait!
Must hear the songs:"Hey hey,my my"and"My my ,hey hey".🤘
Amazing song and enjoyed your analysis and reaction!
Thank you so much!!
@@Singwith-Emmatoday Thank you!
What Neil has! great stuff: rust never sleeps, sugar mountain, heart of gold,cowgirls in the sand (my fav), four dead in ohio, like a huricane , and more. play em all!
check out original studio recording with some banjo, and James Taylor & Linda Rondstadt providing background vocals.
Don't Let It Bring You Down
I first saw Neil Young in London in 1973, the Eagles were the support band.
i was wondering if that was you.
Pure talent.
There is so much more!!! His catalogue is large and 60 years old and he is still touring.
Sugar Mountain is a good one, but he has such a large catalog with many excellent songs! Oh and he is a Canadian
That was a lovely breakdown of a true legend's voice. I've seen this video many times and off course, on the iconic Harvest album.

Powder Finger. Excellent song! ✌🙂
Neil Young / Buffalo Springfield. Broken Arrow.
Stumbled upon this reaction video by accident enticed by this old favourite song.I'm a Yes fan but I took a leap in the dark for Harvest(also After the Gold Rush)and was richly rewarded.You have a lovely voice for nighttime radio!
Hello Emma. Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My is a good song to react too!
He used to be with Crosby ,Nash,Still and Young. One of my favorite songs was Ohio.
Solo Neil Young is a sweet country performer, but band Neil Young was at first a lead rock guitarist, then part of the legendary Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young......but always the crazy front man for Crazy Horse.
To be blown away by the crazy Neil, react to the live Crazy Horse performance of Hey Hey My My ( rock n roll will never die ).
The video with the young girl ( looks like a future nun ) banging her head into the stage in time to Neils guitar solo. lol
Thanks for the review. I started playing guitar around 1960 so I have grown with Neil. Maybe another song to rock you would be "Birds".
"Look in my eyes" says it all.
Heart of Gold ! 👍
Bore of Fools Gold STOP THE WIMP!!! COWGIRL IN THE SAND...Something with Balls
YES EMMA, HE SAID 24 AND SO MUCH MORE DEAR! 😊SO THIS IS FROM BACK IN ( 70 ) EMMA, A GREAT BBC SHOW CONCERT💯 AND NOWWWWW NEIL'S THE OLD MAN, YIKESSSS!😮HE HAS A HUGE CATALOG OF SONGS JUST LIKE ( ELTON JOHN ) SAME THING, HUNDREDS OF SONGS, ANOTHER SONG FROM THIS SHOW WAS : HEART OF GOLD, YOU'LL SEE NEIL SING, PLAY GUITAR AND ALSO HARMONICA👍HOPE YOU GET TO DIG INTO NEIL'S SUPER AWESOMEMUSICAL WORKS EMMA! CYA GIRL!
Harvest Moon, in my opinion, should be your next listen. Thank you for appreciating his music.

You should check that song out and be the first RUclips reactor to do so. Its called Campaigner. He saw Nixon crying on TV after his wife had a stroke, and wrote a pretty sympathetic aong about it. He was really moved by the real emotion he saw from a guy who had been barely human in his eyes. He later said "I guess i felt sorry for Nixon that night".
Listen to him sing in harmony with Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Great guitar playing too!
Harvest Moon is a wonderful song from late in his career.
One part of Neil's voice is sometimes described as a human embodiment of a lonesome timber wolf. He is a great teller of tales in song. One of his most harrowing is Needle and the Damage Done - and that album (Tonight's the Night) is a sustained emotional roller-coaster.
Heart of Gold is a very popular one. Harvest Moon is beautiful. And Sugar Mountain is special.
Love this video. Isn't it nice to see someone appreciate the music you grew up to? Harvest Moon is my choice for 2nd reaction.
Yes! Thank you!
CORTEZ THE KILLER,
DOWN BY THE RIVER,
and SOUTHERN MAN are waiting for you, Emma.
Keep going and enjoy the music.
You know most of the time, I believe most of us, including serious Neil Young fans would probably say that he has a unique voice and they like it in that respect, but that he doesn't really have what you'd normally call a 'good' voice.

Maybe his voice was kind of at a peak at round this time of his career? Anyway, pretty impressive I think.
Yes Please do HEART OF GOLD by Neil Young next
A singer and songwriter for more than 60 years. Perhaps even check on "Ohio" that he wrote as part of Crosby Stills Nash & Young.
Emma today you prove there is love in Beauty and Beauty is Loved
First time! Wow. I grew up listening to this song. I'm not sure when my first time was probably an infant on the Ford LTD station wagon radio.
That D45 sounds like butter. I’d love to have the set list that’s taped to the top.
My live favorite is the whole album "Live Rust" from 1979. There's a acoustic and an electric session.
I could relate to this years ago amd still love it
*24 and so much more*...now it's Neil who's the old man though his more was/is mostly galore!
Years ago Neil was in a band called Buffalo Springfield and he wrote and sang a song called Expecting To Fly . It is a hauntingly beautiful song and sends shivers down my spine even now.
Neil Young, Canadian, friend and contemporary with Joni Mitchell. You can hear the Canadianess in his voice. Was part of the group Crosby Stills Nash and Young, famous for their harmonies.
Beautiful song..gorgeous Emma
Great song and reaction
He has so many good songs. Every song in it is excellent. One of my favourites not on the album is Powderfinger. For more from Harvest I would recommend The Needle and the Damage Done, and the song Heart of Gold
Harvest Moon by Neil Young is a favourite of mine. Has a great promo film to go with it too.
Add Heart of Gold to your playlist 😊
Powder finger is prob my favorite neil young song and helpless
Hello Emma, saw this when I was a kid! I knew then on how that he is a great vocalist!
Always loved the line “It doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you”.
Nope better is HEY HEY MY MY ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE...although it helps with wailing electric guitars
