    Absolutely love this song. Neil Young is an exceptional communicator. So glad you did this one. He has many great songs. CSNY are an elite band you should do so much. Very popular. Southern man is a classic that you should do by N.Y.

    One of my life's loves used to play this song. He had an amazing voice and was a more than competant gitar player. He went cold turkey and cleaned up his act twice. He failed the third time. 'I sing the song because I loved the man.'

      @Mike Hfuhruhurr Oh, make no mistake, I loved Cortez the Killer long before Harvest Moon. It’s a gorgeous song but it touches you on a completely different level. Harvest Moon was more than a decade later but I’ve also always loved the way he speaks to the different phases of our lives. The man’s a freaking poet.

      Please do you and your generation a huge favor. Learn as much about Neil as a man and as a musician as you possibly can. Listen to his lyrics above all, but pay close attention to his delivery. He said the hardest thing for a writer to do is to make the song believable. Write about life and your place in the World. Don't try to play perfect or you'll lose the believability of the song. Play with true feeling and emotion and never be afraid to fail. Also, don't stick to one genre, or one style, you'll bury yourself. Check out the many different genres Neil has played. Keep it fresh. Introduce as many of your generation as possible to Neil and plead with them to listen with honesty and openness, it's for your and their own good. Don't try to be the next Neil Young, there will be none. But, try to understand his approach. He's been doing this for over 60 years. I've been writing for 50 yrs, myself. I still learn from him

    This man is a god in the world of rock n roll. Right up there with Bob. He has hundreds, yes HUNDREDS , of songs. He is a song writing machine. He connects with individuals directly, personally and to their most inner core. If you were to only do one Neil Young album, I would suggest .......... really, really hard question but, how about DECADE because it has so much on it! Maybe that's cheating? Everybody knows this is nowhere. With CSN.......4 WAY STREET!!!!!
    A side note....... my attraction to Neil has always been his personal intimacy that his lyrics and voice command, not to mention his guitar, which speaks for itself. I now listen to Angelina Jordan because her voice is the most intimate and emotional I have ever heard. Both speak to each listener personally. A rare gift.

    The whole Harvest studio album was great. Needle and the Damage Done was a popular tune to learn on guitar. Taught me finger picking. Yes, it was a darker song. Drugs were alive and well in those days. James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Jackson Brown. Staple artists in any folkies collection in the 70’s. So cool that you are exploring Neil. His music and lyrics so prolific and with a voice and style profound, simple, earthy and sincere.

    Neil on Live Rust.. esp the song Out of the Blue and Into the Black.. is f'n incredible. Huge NY fan every since being introduced to Everybody Knows This is Nowhere in 1979.. and he had a lot of airplay on kisw Seattle, with all his famous songs. I even saw Live Rust in a tiny theater in a logging community when it came out. Fast forward to 2009 and girlfriend and i got Live Rust thru mail via Netflix. Loved the concert but watching short haired Neil in Mork and Mindy suspenders, singing the begining.. and then shuffle off to the left and in a unique guitat posture play WHAT I CONSIDER A GUITAR MASTERPIECE.. none of that quick fingered guitar idol stuff.. But to my ears it eas Heaven, Nirvana, The Ultimate. He does it three or four times.. returns to center sings , and then goes off to left and plays something i cant even put into words but it is like line of coke, orgasmic ear candy.. Just blown away by it EVERYTIME I SEE IT. Harvest is good album , but Everybody Knows This is Nowhere is not only Neils best on my opinion.. ITS ONE OF BEST ALBUMS ALL TIME, LIKE WHO'S NEXT OR LET IT BLEED OR LED ZEP 2 OR CRIME OF THE CENTURY.

    My top choices for a whole Neil Young album would include 1) Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2) After The Gold Rush 3) Rust Never Sleeps 4) Zuma 5) Freedom. I'm also tempted to suggest Tonight's The Night, but that's pretty rough going if you're not ready for it. Basically, it's a whole album of The Needle And The Damage Done type songs, and it's performed by Neil and the members of Crazy Horse when they were drunker than skunks and essentially having a drunken wake on record for Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry. Trivia: Neil's dad, the late Scott Young was a well-known Canadian writer, and he actually named Tonight's The Night as his favourite of all of Neil's albums.

    Live at Massey Hall is a wonderful performance from 1971, Neil is in top form and the sound is great. Maybe try “don’t let it bring you down” from that recording. Neil had such a long and varied musical career it’s really impossible to pin down a specific album. Most people will say Harvest but I think just picking songs is best.

    The next tier is filled with greats but these guys are supreme.
    Rock on!

    Nice to hear you take the song so seriously without over doing it. If you've dealt with addiction, or had/have someone close succumb to it, the song speaks volumes.
    If only one Neil album? It would of course be "Harvest"
    And I notice that your lighting, and color balance/skin tones, are spot on - not sure what changed but looks great.

    This song is from a time when, as one reporter fresh back from a year covering the Vietnam War put it "Rock Stars were going down like Second Lieutenants." Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix were only the most famous. So many members of the '27 Club', people who died at that age, from overdose commonly. So yes, I think of him writing this song and KNOWING deep in his heart that his friends were not going to live long enough to ever have gray hair, due to the needle and the damage done.

    So good you did Needle and the Damage Done, Daniel - it's one of my favourite NY songs, along with Helpless and a few others... Great reaction/comments... I always saw the cellar door thing as a straight out description of a typical/ telling incident of a junkie friend or acquaintance turning up at Neil's or someone else's place (a basement flat, maybe?) begging for money for a fix or anything chemical to tide him/her over, the whining 'I love you baby' just being part of the desperate spiel when they were far too far gone to really mean it, or care.
    While this is still fresh in your mind, please have a listen to the (IMO) equally memorable song that Neil said inspired him to approach the subject of his addicted, dying and dysfunctional friends, in song. It was written by the never hugely famous but very musically influential British folk singer/guitarist Bert Jansch, and the song is Needle of Death.
    Bert popularised the fingerpicking folk style of acoustic guitar-playing that, whether directly or indirectly, went on to influence practically every one of the early 70s generation of folk-based singer-songwriters in the UK, US and beyond. At one time, pretty much any young musician aspiring to be a decent acoustic guitarist would spend weeks or months attempting to master the intricate fingerpicking of a Bert Jansch instrumental number or two. Definitely someone you should at least check out once!

    This is such a beautiful and sorrowful song. Thanks for this reaction. After The Gold Rush or Harvest are the albums to do. Milk blood means to draw back on the syringe to see blood so you know you are in a vein and don't inject into tissue instead. An addict loves their addiction more than anything else in life, including themself, hence, "Every junkie is like the setting sun."

    I've said it before, Neil Young is the conscience of a generation. He's also about the music. When he would play with Crosby, Stills, Nash and him (Young), if they got more interested in commercial songs that would sell, he'd walk away and say call me when you are interested in the music again. The album After the Goldrush was a good one. Probably one of his best.

    Consider his 1989 album "Freedom." It's great mix of styles - hard rockers and softer folk-style songs - and he's great in all of them. The '80s hadn't been a good decade for him, but "Freedom" is as if he saved up all his genius and all his frustration for one album as the decade closed.
    Virtually everyone loves "Harvest" and "After the Gold Rush." You can't go wrong with them. But "Freedom" reminded people how great he can be.

    'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' is a solid choice for a Neil Young with Crazy Horse album
    for more acoustic Neil Young, Harvest is the obvious choice, but After The Gold Rush is a better choice.

    As a high school junior with this album at time of release, Neil really struck a chord (pun arguably intended) with me, especially because I wasn't especially interested in anyone with an acoustic guitar at that time. Also, I was lead singer in a rock band, so artists like Bowie, Sabbath, Alice, Tull, et al were my cup o' tea!
    What struck me about Neil, in general (like with "After the Gold Rush" and the one before, "Nobody Knows This is Everywhere" as I like to call it!), was his brilliant marriage of sensitive and morose lyrics to fittingly somber, minor-keyed (I'm guessing here a bit, but these can't be major-key "Happy Days Are Here Again"-type chords!), gripping chord changes and melodies, coupled with his plaintive, yearning, and vulnerable voice.
    So, a rare combination of matching lyrical tone with the appropriate sonic accompaniment, with the perfect voice to go with.

    Thank you Daniel for your reaction to this Neil Young track! Like you say, he says a lot in a very few words! I know that hundreds of people must have suggested this song, but as I am one of them I am going to pretend that it was MY suggestion that did the trick! Daniel, you made my day!!! For an LP to react to I would suggest Harvest or After The Goldrush. For some more live Neil (and you are totally right to want to watch him live) I would recommend "Hey Hey My My" for a real rocker, "Helpless" from the Live Aid concert in 1985, "Pocahontas" or "Long May You Run" from the same Unplugged session you got this song from, or "Southern Man" if you want another political song, that is actually responsible for the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic "Sweet Home Alabama", which actually mentions Neil in the song!! Take Care, Daniel, and keep on inspiring us!

    Actually there is no studio version of this song by Neil. The version on the ("Harvest") album is an audio of a live version complete with crowd applause etc. It's also the one that got FM radio play. I really don't think there was ever a 'studio version' done. From Wikipedia: _""The Needle and the Damage Done" was first released on Young's 1972 album Harvest. Rather than re-recording it, Young selected a live version from January 1971 that featured him singing and playing acoustic guitar"._

I get - and could sadly witness - that many drug addicts end up being setting suns, but I could experience others who were able win this battle and rise again, shining an even brighter and warmer light. As I reckon that's a very hard journey, there's always a chance to rise again. Take care :)
