I posted on this 7 years ago, the same has been replicated by the same musicians for several years since……. This is the definitive version and still one of the best things ever posted on RUclips, I’ve just listened to it with my son who is sixteen now, thankfully his generation are getting it…
omg don't it though I actually have to take a deep breath after its over and I"ve listened to it 20 times already and with headphones it gets even worse I love how it slowly cools down at the end damn I gota smoke a Marlboro red
I met Warren in '91 at the Gorge right after he joined the Allman Bros. Band. He was standing over by the fence alone and I struck up a conversation with him. Quite a good soul and one of America's best guitarists.
There can only ever be one Neil Young. Ever. But our man Warren draws the soul of the music out into the fire of this performance that stands right beside Neil's sublime playing on one of his great masterpieces. Thanks to DMB!
Tim Reynolds is one of the most underrated guitarists. Dude can play anything and do it and the top of the game. He shreds acoustic harder than anyone I've seen since the heyday of music in the 60s and 70s.
WOW!!!!!! You know Neil is lovin what they did with his song! They slayed that Dragon!!! I agree with Richard's comment (6 below me) This is the best I've ever seen on RUclips.
+Kat Mertens Have you seen Grace Potter and Satriani? Just wondering. It is the "stand out" best in my opinion...and I love these guys...and of course I love ol' Neil. ;-)
Very nice...wish I could've seen this live. I really like it, at 1:05. Warren says "here I am! Let's go." ETA; I love the cinematography and editing. Well done!
this is a beautiful beautiful version of this song..kudos WH and DMB....but, and there is a but...we all know and the end of the night and with the volume turned to up 11 we all end up at the same place....the original....Neil Young is the actual legend....
There is an indie band called Built to Spill that does a live version of Cortez which is absolutely on par with this version.First time I heard this cover and I really enjoyed it. Cudos to Warren for this great performance.Neil's original is still my favorite.
Covers of Neil's songs always make me a little uncomfortable (just HOW badly can can it be messed up?) However - Cortex feels like it was written for Wayne and DMB to take to a place of their very own. LOVE IT
"Cortez the Killer" is a song by Neil Young from his 1975 album, Zuma. It was recorded with the band Crazy Horse It has since been ranked #39 on Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos and #329 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Young has stated in concert that he wrote the song while studying history in high school in Winnipeg. According to Young's notes for the album Decade, the song was banned in Spain under Francisco Franco. According to El País and book author Xavier Valiño, the album Zuma was released in Spain in full following Franco's death, with the song renamed to the less inflammatory title "Cortez." ~~~ I ... LOVE IT 2 !!!
Goose Bumps, have to say Neil would be proud just like he is about "Type o Negatives" cover of "Cinnamon Girl" one of the few artists left that appreciates the way other artists interpret his songs.
The song is typical of the Zuma album - simple, big chords and a bass line that sometimes becomes very powerful and fades again. The song repeats the chords Em7, D and Am7sus4 while Hayes adds his signature solos throughout. It is played in double drop D (DADGBD).
No, he should sing it with Alicia Chakur. (Don't know if I spelled her name right.) Their cover of I'd Rather Go Blind, at the Mountain Fest, is the best I've heard.
June Johnson Too bad you can't enjoy it for having your thoughts interrupted by the sour tones of those musicians of today who arent up to this,,,,,,because you say so. Just stop the whining. You remind me of my parents whining about me listening to anything but Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby, and others at about the time the Beatles and Stones were making their presence known,,,,,,with so much more to come. And every generation has their disgruntled members who think they are the only arbiters of what, 'real,' music is and you are at almost every video I watch and I can't help but wonder why the fuck you even bother. PS- I dig Frank. Two of my adult son's do too but I won't bother telling you about how they waste their time with contemporary music of today
When Neil was in his prime, he could play his own song better than anyone. His harmonics and chords and multi note picks in his Les Paul were just unique. And..Neil’s voice was and is just wonderful. btw, Dave Matthews is just useless. Warren rocks as usual.
How many times you seen Warren live? Only like 15-20 myself which is very few but i can tell you he is far better than good! I was at the Bonnaroo way back when every band there asked him to stand in for a few songs as a nod to his exceptional playing. I was also at a Gov Mule show in Nola for jazzfest when like 20 amazing artist made guest appearances at his late night show so I can assure you that his peers think very highly of Warren Haynes. That's the kind of respect given to greatness and this was like 15yrs ago.

Was there at this show trippin balls. Still the best song of any concert I’ve ever seen. Thank you for this
This cover absolutely took my breath away!
omg don't it though I actually have to take a deep breath after its over and I"ve listened to it 20 times already and with headphones it gets even worse I love how it slowly cools down at the end damn I gota smoke a Marlboro red
The Best cover ever!! Wow what a talent! I love that guy, You kick serious ass Warren!!
Warren Haynes...the more i see/hear him, the more I like him! Fantastic musician!!
Steve Woan up there with the greatest of all time I would say!!!!!
Warren just makes any song where he steps on stage. What a talent.
I met Warren in '91 at the Gorge right after he joined the Allman Bros. Band. He was standing over by the fence alone and I struck up a conversation with him. Quite a good soul and one of America's best guitarists.
If Warren Haynes doesn't make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they should tear the damn thing down.
@@georgecamp1308 they should tear it down anyway!
How could you not love this ?
Just came to pay this memory a visit to all who were there thanks for the love and good energy it was a special night
There can only ever be one Neil Young. Ever. But our man Warren draws the soul of the music out into the fire of this performance
that stands right beside Neil's sublime playing on one of his great masterpieces. Thanks to DMB!
Just an absolutely amazing performance! Warren kills it on this song
Tim Reynolds is one of the most underrated guitarists. Dude can play anything and do it and the top of the game. He shreds acoustic harder than anyone I've seen since the heyday of music in the 60s and 70s.
vaya tremendas guitarras llorando literalmente con verdadero sentimiento enmarcando este bello poema de Neil Young ! Llora mi corazón!!!!.
WOW!!!!!! You know Neil is lovin what they did with his song! They slayed that Dragon!!!

Uhuru check out Grace Potter and Joe Satriani do it. Much better period.
They came across the water!!!! Only Warren Haynes can bring it out like that!!! WOW!!
Very nice...wish I could've seen this live.
I really like it, at 1:05. Warren says "here I am! Let's go."
ETA; I love the cinematography and editing. Well done!
Warren = GUITAR GOD!!! So. Much. Pure. Talent.
this is a beautiful beautiful version of this song..kudos WH and DMB....but, and there is a but...we all know and the end of the night and with the volume turned to up 11 we all end up at the same place....the original....Neil Young is the actual legend....
Totally blown away by bothWarren & Dave on this rendition of Cortez
I can't find a word strong enough to describe the impact of this gem. my goodness t is such an INCREDIBLE song.
There is an indie band called Built to Spill that does a live version of Cortez which is absolutely on par with this version.First time I heard this cover and I really enjoyed it. Cudos to Warren for this great performance.Neil's original is still my favorite.
awesome video very special thanks from the netherlands.
I was there for this. It was an amazing night.
Quanto mais te ouço, mais te bebo, oh música sem fim

Warren Haynes ... Awesome !!!!

My God, anyone that loves guitar would have to love this, and anyone that knocks their playing is just plain idiots....
Susan Reed Wow. You assume someone is going to knock this? And who cares if anyone does?
I love guitar...and this😀
Goose Bumps, have to say Neil would be proud just like he is about "Type o Negatives" cover of "Cinnamon Girl" one of the few artists left that appreciates the way other artists interpret his songs.
Dipped in Tone brought me here. WOW!
I was thinking the same thing - beautiful to watch
all I can say is wow. guitargasm.
Warren +Gibson+Marshall = sonzeira nota 1000
warren is one of the best strato caster players in the hiistory of the world!
Damn. Nice compilation!
Gran version de W.Haynes!!! genial.
Impresionante 👍👏👏👏
The song is typical of the Zuma album - simple, big chords and a bass line that sometimes becomes very powerful and fades again. The song repeats the chords Em7, D and Am7sus4 while Hayes adds his signature solos throughout. It is played in double drop D (DADGBD).
Just, WOW!
What I wouldn't do to experience this song in person ;-;
You can see Dave's respect for Warren almost everytime he watches him play!
best niel young song, ever
what a stupit thing to say...
Thanks for this.
Warren does a great job with this song period. Huge fan of Neil, but Warren does the singing with his guitar.
Love Warren, Love Neil... Never understood the appeal of Dave Matthews..
Warren the last of the Gods
He really is...one of the last few "real" blues musicians that have that old Southern/R&B groove. A true master
2 words of encouragement.... MARCUS KING!
Beauford makes a good song PERFECT.
Warren n Tim killin it ❤️✌🏼️
these two guys... dang... just dang.
Excellent!!! 👍👍
Tears..
This is great
Favorite Neil Young song but I believe this cover to be way better. That's saying a lot considering how fantastic Neil's version is.
SUBLIME 👏👏👏
Who would not like this???
gratefuldocjay seems there's an echo in here
This song needs to be covered by Warren & Grace Potter
No, he should sing it with Alicia Chakur. (Don't know if I spelled her name right.) Their cover of I'd Rather Go Blind, at the Mountain Fest, is the best I've heard.
Listen to Potter and Satriani do it
Hey, what about Dicky Betts too! He is certainly part of the grandeur that we have just witnessed,.
Just Wow..........
Neil should be extremely proud!!
thats great!
SaaWeet Sunday morning coffee jams💜✌ty
Partway through an advert interrupts Warren’s solo with a load of rappers on about shit!
WOW..... (enough said)
I spell magic......Tim Reynolds and Warren Haynes on the same stage.
i started to play along with this one, but i stopped to listen to the wonderful playing these boys do. so soft yet so powerful.
this is so good ,,makes todays music really suck pardon my lanuage
June Johnson Too bad you can't enjoy it for having your thoughts interrupted by the sour tones of those musicians of today who arent up to this,,,,,,because you say so.
Just stop the whining. You remind me of my parents whining about me listening to anything but Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby, and others at about the time the Beatles and Stones were making their presence known,,,,,,with so much more to come.

Ross Smith chill out, so she has an opinion what’s the big deal
auch mal zu erwähnen...der supertrommler carter beauford!!!
Warren can smoke that thing.
This was destined to be.
Little mouse plays like hell. 7.33
sound cheking problem bass part is little high tension .anyways nice playing good harmony . from s. korea
Hit the road Anton Bruckner...............!
eat your heart out yngwie malmsteen
Wow...This is so fantastic it's almost like it's not real.
he sings good lol
Great band, great cover. Missing a little of Neils grunginess......... great cover though.....
Warren looks like PAPPO but finner.. if u dont know who papo was, ask google
In Portuguese... Uma Les Paul na mão de um mago.... Mais nada...
ownership..
Don't like the tone of Haynes' Les Paul on this song...especially after listening to the Central Park version...still very good.
Yeah haynes needs to ditch that diaz and stick to that silky smooth soldano
When Neil was in his prime, he could play his own song better than anyone. His harmonics and chords and multi note picks in his Les Paul were just unique. And..Neil’s voice was and is just wonderful. btw, Dave Matthews is just useless. Warren rocks as usual.
He is good but not great like David Gilmour, check out my channel any song will bet him
How many times you seen Warren live? Only like 15-20 myself which is very few but i can tell you he is far better than good! I was at the Bonnaroo way back when every band there asked him to stand in for a few songs as a nod to his exceptional playing.
