He has played this on several live shows and they all rock. He does this on a Saturday Night Live episode and I mean he really tears it up. Can’t go wrong with Neil.
“Kinder gentler” and “thousand points of light” are references to GW Bush. The man of the people” saying “Keep Hope Alive” is a reference to the Jesse Jackson presidential campaigns of 1988 and 1992
Saw him perform this song live when he was touring with Crosby, Stills and Nash around 2001. There were 12,000 people in the arena and every one of them was on their feet. That arena was ROCKIN'! It was the last song before the encore. He also sang Harvest Moon all by himself with an acoustic guitar in that show. Neil can do it all.
For some more great Neil Young Guitar Solos, listen to - 'On The Beach,' 'Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black),' 'Cortez The Killer,' 'Like A Hurricane'. 'Down By The River,' 'Cinnamon Girl, ' 'Cowgirl In The Sand.' My personal favorites are 'Cortez The Killer' and 'Like A Hurricane'. The Album version of 'Rockin' In The Free World' is a must to check out, too. Thanks for all you do to bring us It has outstanding music and insightful commentary. Neil Young - The Godfather of Grunge.
Besides the music, the best thing about seeing Neil Young in concert is watching him stomp around the stage, especially on a heavy rocker like "Rockin' In The Free World", a Neil original of course. Neil doesn't perform too many cover songs, he has enough of his own. He is "The Godfather of Grunge". There is a version of this song from a concert in England, where he goes on for about 12-15 minutes, and he just won't stop, and the crowd won't let him stop, so he continues. Classic Neil.
I was at that Seattle show on February 21st of 1989 in the Paramount Theatre up in the balcony. Neil had the lyrics on a music stand so that he could read off of them. I also attended Neil's show in Portland, Oregon the previous day (2nd row of the orchestra pit!). Both concerts were AMAZING!!! 🎸
I literally saw Pearl Jam open for Neil 2 days after they played this at the MTV music awards. They played this song again on that night and I can't come close to telling you how great that was. For me this is the best thing I have ever seen (or heard,) on television.
Epic recording, and he was nearly 50 at the time! Fun reaction, too. The original studio recording is great, too, but you don't get to watch Neil be a monster on stage while listening. Someday, you'll want to check out Neil and the band Crazy Horse doing the song Cinnamon Girl from his first album after Buffalo Springfield broke up. It was grungy in 1969, decades before grunge was a thing.
Absolutely love this song. And every performance of it is great. But hey man, that was great for you to draw a connection back to Seattle and the grunge aspect of things.
Kinder gentler was a George Bush I line. Might mean a less harsh version of his boss Reagan. This song was the ignition point of Neil's amazing second half. I thought it was Godfather of grunge. One of his best rockers
Neil can do anything. He was once sued by his record label for failure to attempt to make commercial music. He did a hard rock album, followed by an electronic album, then a 50's style door wop album, then a hard core country album from 1981 to 85, soon did a blues album
I saw Neil Young around this time (mid-late 90s) and it was an over 3 hour show. He did about 12 songs. He had quite a few 10-15 minute improvised solos, where he just starts rockin back and forth and gets lost in the sauce.
Please give a listen to Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" when you get the chance. His highest chart topping song. People who aren't necessarily into Neil Young, know this song.
Neil Young rocked out with several young musicians and artists that were coming into their own during this time period. He played alongside one of Willie Nelson's sons "Lukas Nelson" it's amazing how much Lukas sounds like his father singing (crazy) and Neil Young looks to be having the time of his life playing alongside these young artist's knowing half of them look up to him as their guitar hero, incredible. Anyway, here's another song from a live performance, if interested. "Neil Young - Promise of the Real - Powderfinger (Live at Farm Aid 2018)" (by the channel: Farm Aid) Lovely reaction I love to see your excitement as you discover these artists and their beautiful music. peace out
Yes, Neil went back to grunge on the freedom album, but he was grunge back in the '70s too. Check out live rust and rust never sleeps for examples of early grunge that earned him the nickname the Godfather of Grunge
Not playing Pearl jam doing Animal for the first time ever before this is the real travesty. Edit: Kudos to learning about the actual meaning of the song.
Please react to Neil’s performance at FarmAid 2018 in Hartford Connecticut. His band that night was Lukas Nelson (Willie’s son) and the Promise of the Real. One of the best live performances ever.
Speaking of Eddie Vedder, you have to check out his rendition of Masters Of War at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert. It will blow you away.
I always get a kick out of younger people thinking someone in their 40's rockin' this way is special.Trust me, I'm pushing 70 and can still kick it..Neil's a pup here. He's a rocker, and I don't mean with a chair. No sweat, for him!..I saw McCartney about 2 years ago, and the guy lit the place up for about 3 hrs.! What is he 80/81?!..Look at the Stones!..Man, they counted these guys out so many times over the years it's become a joke!..These dudes were born during WWII!!
Of course it is Neil’s legendary song. Most of what Neil records and plays live is his own material and what a book of songs!Try Like a Hurricane, Cortez The Killer, and The Needle and The Damage done, which is about some of his old band mates.The Godfather of Grunge playing with his grungy grandsons!
He has played this on several live shows and they all rock. He does this on a Saturday Night Live episode and I mean he really tears it up. Can’t go wrong with Neil.
That SNL performance is literally legendary.
The “Godfather” of grunge will never let you down. Vedder and Young, a wonderful friendship.
One of the most free rock & roll moments of all time.

I love how Neil comes in there and shows those young whippersnappers how to RAWWWKKKK! PJ really must have really had a great time on that stage!
I don’t think Neil Young gets enough credit for his guitar playing.
I literally saw Pearl Jam open for Neil 2 days after they played this at the MTV music awards. They played this song again on that night and I can't come close to telling you how great that was. For me this is the best thing I have ever seen (or heard,) on television.
Great reaction. Neil rocks it out with the kids here. He still rocks it out all these decades later.
React to Carole King singing Natural Woman

Old Man, Heart of Gold, Southern Man. The Needle and the Damage Done. So many more.
"Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Hey Hey, My My ( Into the Black ) live 1991 HD" Should definitely be the next NY reaction!
lol! Great T-Shirt bro! Great reaction. Neil can do harder rock as well as he does folk rock. Thanks to your paid requestor. 😊
Absolutely love this song. And every performance of it is great. But hey man, that was great for you to draw a connection back to Seattle and the grunge aspect of things.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse is Neils heavy rock band. Neil kills with his electric guitar. The whole Band are legendary.
Kinder gentler was a George Bush I line. Might mean a less harsh version of his boss Reagan. This song was the ignition point of Neil's amazing second half. I thought it was Godfather of grunge. One of his best rockers
Dude, when I seen this in my notifications, I knew this was gonna kick your arse! I saw Neil in early 90s and kicked mine alright. Peace.
Neil is no joke! What an amazing guy! He reminds me of the "cool uncle" lol
Neil Young, a good Canadian boy!
Neil can do anything. He was once sued by his record label for failure to attempt to make commercial music. He did a hard rock album, followed by an electronic album, then a 50's style door wop album, then a hard core country album from 1981 to 85, soon did a blues album
Neil Young is definitely the Man
The Godfather of Grunge.

Cool shirt! I used to have the Cheech and Chong albums from the 70s.
Dave's not here. @@mikefetterman6782

I remember watching this when it aired. Epic. PJ is my fave band. Love Uncle Neil.
And THAT is why he’s called the “Godfather Of Grunge”. “Love To Burn”, please.

Neil young at donnington with Paul McCartney singing a day in a life is awesome
A very drunk McCartney.

Neil Young a living legend.
It seems so! Having a great time learning more about Neil
Speaking of Eddie Vedder, you have to check out his rendition of Masters Of War at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert. It will blow you away.
They toured together, they even made an album together called "Mirror Ball", listen to "I'm The Ocean", amazing song!
A terrific album.
❤❤❤
Neil knows how to jam ! He has a beautiful folk side but he also likes to rock out.
You know it's pure Neil my young friend.
Sorry.
Social awareness, a message, x Soul forever.
The activist commitment.
With talent.
Love it!

Check out the album Weld. Neil with crazy horse
If I might be so bold. It is not the "Grandfather of Grunge". Rather, the sobriquet is the "Godfather of Grunge."
All I know is, he is absolutely kicking ass 🤘
Oh my friend, the reservoir is deep...very deep.
@@ShawnSalvadori
Rock doesn't get much better than this.
Neil the grandfather of grunge
It's actually Godfather but whose counting?
He might be a bit of both at this point in time 😜
check out neil ypung rock in rio i think the whole thing is on here
Godfather of grunge not grandfather
you ought to learn the backstories of the songs and artists
The last good thing on MTV.....
This video shows exactly how boring Eddie is compared to Neil. Eddie is nothing. He's not an old soul, in my opinion. He is just boring.
