Just to be clear, Neil Young is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history. It is a very, very short list of people who ever did it better than Neil, even when he was quite young.
Could you imagine watching Neil Young in concert in 1972, and he says, "here are a couple new tunes" and then proceeds to play "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man." Those incredibly lucky people had to realize they were listening to all-time classics.
We did, we did! My friends and I went to one show at the Opera House in Seattle which was fabulous for the acoustics of his beautiful Martin guitars and that voice.
I'm glad that you are enjoying Neil Young. One of the greatest. I'm 74 and still listen to this Cat. Keep the 60's music going for the young Generation. Love and Peace Always to us Baby boomers.
My daughter is a preschool director. A few years ago, she taught 3 yr olds. Every day, if everyone behaved, they got to listen to this song (which they loved). Can you imagine what a beautiful sight and sound to hear 3 yr olds singing this lovely song. đ
He recently became a US citizen after living there for a loooooong time (he's canadian in origin). The reason: He wanted to vote in the upcoming election.
This performance always cracks me up - Neil fumbling around with his harmonicas - then goes into one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thanks so much for this.
He makes some funny comments and then goes into one of the most powerful and saddest heartfelt songs ever! Thatâs Neil Young! One of the greats! đđžđđ»
Yes, thankfully, he's still with us. As a matter of fact, he appeared as himself when Jimmy Fallon did a superb impression of him not too long ago, singing "Old Man". Look it up, now that you're aware of Neil Young, you'll enjoy it!
Yes! Neil Young as an old man singing Old Man is very poignant, and Jimmy Fallon does a really great impression of him. You can tell they both had fun dueting it.
I keep seeing Al Stewart's "Year Of The Cat" get requested . . . if we're starting to move into these classic storytellers like Christopher Cross and Neil Young, now is the perfect time.
how about the fact that while he was in toronto, he and rick james had a band that was signed to motown until their drug addict manager squandered their money. the band was called The Mynah Birds.
Was signed to Motown with Rick James in the group Mynah Birds (circa 1966). Motown had to let them go when Rick was found to be AWOL from the military.
this is an otherworldly song that comes from another time and dimension....... it is timeless...... Jamel is always struck instantly by the most meaningful parts of the song... " doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you..... I've been first and last, ...look at how the time goes past"...
I quoted this song when I toasted my brother and his wife's wedding. I was my brother's best man. I congratulated him on finally finding his heart of gold.
He's Canadian. Gotta love him! I love "Heart of Gold". Another good one from him is "Ohio" and "Cinnamon Girl". Hey Jamel, I'm 62 years old and I like some Hip Hop. I like it all! Music connects us all.
It's weird how Canadians seem to have the best songs about American tragedies ("Ohio", "Black Day In July", "Big Yellow Taxi", "Edmund Fitzgerald"...). Must be the distance that makes us comfortable writing about them, as opposed to the comparatively few writers (The Hip, mostly) that write about our homegrown Canadian ones...
So Neil's mom lived in New Smyrna Beach, FL, where he actually went to early elementary school. Some time in the mid 80's I was performing in a duo doing mostly covers with a good friend. We heard that Neil was in town visiting his mom who was sick. We were playing at a local watering hole and there was Neil eating and listening to the music. On a break my partner insisted on going to tell him what a fan he was so we went over to his table. My buddy told him that we were huge fans of his and apologized for bothering him Neil was as nice as anyone could be and talked to us, even complimented our music. He is as nice a human being as his music is great.
Neil Young, (born November 12, 1945, Toronto, Ontario, Canada), Canadian guitarist, singer, and songwriter best known for his idiosyncratic output and eclectic sweep, from solo folkie to grungy guitar-rocker. Early career: Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Young grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with his mother after her divorce from his father, a well-known Canadian sportswriter.
Neil was born in Toronto, then spent his boyhood in Omemee, Ontario -- about 100 miles northeast of Toronto, before moving to Winnipeg in his early teens. -- About three years ago, he returned to his hometown of Omemee e, and played a televised concert in small theater there. In his song, "Helpless", the opening lyrics... "There is a town in North Ontario Dream comfort memory to spare And in my mind I still need a place to go All my changes were there." ....he's singing about Omemee.
The family was taking an extended vacation in the warm climate of Florida which they thought would aid in Neil's recovery from polio. And yes - Neil did attend Faulkner Street Elementary School, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, in the first grade from January to May, 1952. Glad Neil was nice to you. He is a very nice man - but a little shy sometimes which makes a few people think he is not friendly or snobbish. He's a great Canadian and we don't mind sharing him with the world. ;)
Jamal, we DO care about you! We love sharing the great old music of our youth with you because we know you will appreciate it like we did when we first heard it! Neil is one of the few artists who didn't sell out. Him and Bob Dylan. Stays true to his principles. Also want to mention that he had 2 sons with cerebral palsy. He created the Bridge School Benefit and gave annual charity concerts for 30 years in Mountain View, Ca. to raise money for kids with disabilities. I went to one of them where Paul McCartney played.
Jamel, myself being a white man I consider you as a brother, you bring joy to me with your music that you react to and your knowledge of music, Thank You Brother and God Bless you, I think you do have a Heart of Gold.
renegade4dio the story behind the song shows where his songwriting was coming from; everything he saw and experienced. Heâs up there in my opinion (doesnât matter what I think) on the list of the best songwriters ever.
You will find Jamal, the more you react to neil's music, that Neil can't be pigeonholed into one genre of music. People want to lable him the grandfather of grunge, which i think is bull, Neil is rock, hard rock, folk, folk rock, country, and country rock. Depending on what mood your in Neil has a song for it.
Cool! Neil is actually the "father" of grunge though this is his folk side. You hear his rock style more on Hey hey my my, Powderfinger, Sedan Delivery, or Rockin' in the free world.
Indeed. I gravitate mostly to metal, but did dabble a bit in my youth with various grunge and punk artists and such. The "strange" (to some people) thing is that throughout my life, I have attended more Neil Young performances than any other single artist/group. But, it actually makes perfect sense :)
Speaking of grunge he did a version of Rocking in the Free World with Eddie Veder of Pearl Jam fame. I couldâve sworn I saw it on Saturday Night Live in Fact! A great video. Love your reactions Jamal. đâïžđ
My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) One acoustic and one electric. Uncle Neil is one of the greatest of all time. Not as many people know his music now because he refuses to let his music be used in commercials.
Omg I just commented on this! Yes! CSNY! You MUST listen to Carry On. Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Helplessly Hoping. Helpless. These guys can harmonize! Beautiful music! â€ïž
i love a guy that can play guitar, harmonica and can sing at the same time. these guys are my heroes, they taught us how to be proactive with social justice. broke all the boundaries, and we loved it, we are from the greatest generation and activism 60/70's. ilove neil solo or with a band especially crazy horse. and now still prevalent is "rockin in a free world'
He is alive at 75, and Canadian. American. He was among those who lived the spirit of America and visualized this country as the egalitarian place it should be.
He's obviously a soft spoken, shy man but yet he found the strength to put himself out there and speak his truth. I'm in awe of men and women like this. Thank you Jamel for helping me rediscover this beautiful soul. And you ain't bad yourself Jamel.
I must have listened to this track hundreds of times and I still get the chills every time. Neil Young is a truly great song writer and performer, but what I admire most about him is the way he stands up for the downtrodden. The indigenous people of the world need more people to stand with them like Neil does. âđżâđŸâđœâđŒâđ»
In 1969 at the age of 24 Neil was sick with a 103° fever and was bored so he sat down and wrote 3 songs.. Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River and Cowgirl In The Sand.. and forever cemented himself as a pillar of rock and roll as an ICON!!
Neil Young is still out performing, and still killing on stage. I've seen him at least 3 times, last time about two years ago as part of Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Tour. He is amazing.
Fantastic comments!!! I know this song when I was young and heard it for the first time in 1972!! I still think this was one of the best performances he ever gave!
Alive and well, married to Daryl Hanna now I believe. He's a full fledged member of the R&R Hall of fame, played with the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young. He's a legend. The fun thing about this show is that these songs were so new at this point, so you're seeing him playing them early on, it's brilliant.
The raw, authentic talent and heartfelt performance by Neil Young here, a collection of skin, cells.. stardust expressing himself/ itself to the best of his ability makes me feel a glimpse of the divine. Itâs so pure đđ». Thank you Neil
I'm from Winnipeg, born and bred. Neil is one of ours. Prairie inspired, of the True North, and greatly under rated. Keep on Rockin in the Free World !!
Yes, Jamel - We do care about you!! ( I love how you applauded with audience at the end of these two Neil Young videos - you do you, J! đđ€Łđđ) Be prepared to go down a 'Brother Neil' rabbit hole: Harvest Moon Keep on Rockin' in the Free World After the Gold Rush (His older bands) Buffalo Springfield- For What it's Worth. (Other band) Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young (CSN&Y) OHIO Carry On Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Southern Cross Wooden Ships Helplessly Hoping (this particular song 'gets me' every time) STAY SAFE
Jamel's observations tell me he's a bit of an old soul himself. He's also obviously a really nice guy. Next song should be Neil Young's "Philadelphia".
"Aw, this guy's a character..." That's what musicians did back in the day as they tuned their guitars for the next song, or as he was doing, found the right harmonica for the tune...it was called banter, and it filled those few moments between songs with interplay with the audience. đ
I'd say he's the greatest national treasure of Canada, coming from a European who doesn't really know that much about Canada. Regardless, people will be singing along to Neil Young songs in 2220, no doubt.
Now you gotta do Neil Youngâs âHey Hey, My Myâ! Then after that do Neil Young & Pearl Jam doing âKeep On Rockin in the Free Worldâ! Both are a MUST!
Neil Young is one of the best singer/songwriters that has ever lived! Try Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. He was a member before going solo. They played at Woodstock. Awesome!
Try "A Man Needs A Maid." It's haunting; it really gets to you. Also you might check out songs he did as a member of Buffalo Springfield like "Mr. Soul" and "I Am Child."
Neil young is/was one of my all time favorite musicians, that being said Iâm with jeff. Back in the day him and David Crosby , Steven stills, and gram Nash were on the cutting edge of political activism. Songs like Ohio spoke to that generation about the injustice wrought on the American people. He spoke out against the establishment and despised the man. Now he is the man, we become what we hate. To reach that level in the entertainment business a dues must be paid and when the powers tell you to bark , little puppy you better start barking. Iâve since stopped listening to his music because I no longer believe in him. I was a fan for 40 years, seen him in concert 9 times, there are many musicians I stopped listening to because of their selling out. Jamal brother man you should checkout joy villa. Look her up first see what sheâs about then check out her music. What you know about bob Marley, bunny whaler, Peter tosh? There is a whole other genre to explore.
Cinnamon Girl is a classic. When he was with Crosby, Stills and Nash they created some beautiful music as well. Good '60's protest stuff. You should look up Southern Man anything off of 4-Way Street album.
Neil Young is still alive! Celebrated his 75th birthday last Thursday November 12th. KXCI our local community funded radio station here in Tucson,Az.đïž Had a Neil Young Birthday special on the Thursday night show called "Half Time At the Apocalypse !" All Of Neil's great music for a couple of hours! đ¶đŒđ”â
You can pick any Neil Young song and realize he is an "old soul" his talent and storytelling ability still amazes me 50 years later. His 1992 release "Harvest Moon" was an instant classic. Words cannot describe how his music effects me!! Rock on Mr. Young!
Just to be clear, Neil Young is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history. It is a very, very short list of people who ever did it better than Neil, even when he was quite young.

Totally amazing
ted ritola I love It Never Rains in California. Have loved it for nearly 50 years, now.
Saw him in concert Jan. 23, 1973 in MSG. Just found some if my old concert tickets stubs.
We did, we did! My friends and I went to one show at the Opera House in Seattle which was fabulous for the acoustics of his beautiful Martin guitars and that voice.
Neil Young, a canadian, one of the best guitar player ever !
I'm glad that you are enjoying Neil Young. One of the greatest. I'm 74 and still listen to this Cat. Keep the 60's music going for the young Generation.
Love and Peace Always to us Baby boomers.
At 58 years old it's not a lot of young men like you who appreciate the greatness of 70s rock music and icons
You bad!!!!
Neil Young, 1970: "And I'm gettin' old."
Neil Young, 2020: "Hold my beer."
Yeah exactly. Fond memories of people & times past.
My daughter is a preschool director. A few years ago, she taught 3 yr olds. Every day, if everyone behaved, they got to listen to this song (which they loved). Can you imagine what a beautiful sight and sound to hear 3 yr olds singing this lovely song. đ
That is EPIC!
This almost made me cry xD If there's anything purer i can't imagine it.
Very nice!
Thankyou!!!
Gosh I would love to see a bunch of kids singing this lovely song đ
Never tire of Neil Young. Ever.! â€
This guy was soooo young when he wrote these songs, really is an old soul.
He recently became a US citizen after living there for a loooooong time (he's canadian in origin). The reason: He wanted to vote in the upcoming election.
Everyone needs to vote in the next election!!! Please!!!!
Young is definitely a great artist. I love all his music. He should stay out of politics. Hes better that way.
He's actually a dual citizen now. Still Canadian through and through.

Yes! Neil Young as an old man singing Old Man is very poignant, and Jimmy Fallon does a really great impression of him. You can tell they both had fun dueting it.
I remember that seeing Jimmy even dressed up like Neil Young standing next to Neil singing together.
That was a great impersonation and then here comes the real Neil..Lol Jamel, you would definitely get a kick out of that Fallon performance!
Oh yes!!!! That one is fantastic!!!
This messed with my head the first time I saw it. Wtg, Jimmy Fallon!

I keep seeing Al Stewart's "Year Of The Cat" get requested . . . if we're starting to move into these classic storytellers like Christopher Cross and Neil Young, now is the perfect time.
Road to Moscow is a haunting tale ...
Year of the Cat is one of my all time favorites, love it.
Yes!! Absolutely!đ
Can you imagine.... heâs 75 now. Wow. He used to write about an old man.... now he is one. Time keeps on ticking away.
I guess he must be 78 now 2024....đâ€ïžđ
"I WANNA LIVE I WANNA GIVE" One of the most simple and beautifully profound lyrics ever uttered in a song.
Bless you Jamel..
When he was young, he left Toronto and went to L.A. looking to join a Band. That Band was Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth!)
how about the fact that while he was in toronto, he and rick james had a band that was signed to motown until their drug addict manager squandered their money. the band was called The Mynah Birds.
@@czwirner Then he lured Rick to Detroit into the waiting arms of the F.B.I. who arrested him for Draft Dodging.
@@kellyfehr5240 they were a great band too it's such a shame
He also a part of Crosby Stills and Nash and Young.. My favorite is the song Ohio.
Was signed to Motown with Rick James in the group Mynah Birds (circa 1966). Motown had to let them go when Rick was found to be AWOL from the military.
"Down by the River" by Neil Young is such a great song, despite its very dark meaning.
I just noticed he's playing two instruments at onceđź I don't think I've ever seen anybody else do that.
Neil Young is still alive he's married to actress Daryl Hannah. Also neil young is one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time
Neil Young must listen: âThe Needle and the Damage Doneâ & âRockinâ In the Free Worldâ.
Yes, Neil is eccentric--but an old soul. What brilliance.
he used to be so chatty lol
this is an otherworldly song that comes from another time and dimension....... it is timeless...... Jamel is always struck instantly by the most meaningful parts of the song... " doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you..... I've been first and last, ...look at how the time goes past"...
I quoted this song when I toasted my brother and his wife's wedding. I was my brother's best man. I congratulated him on finally finding his heart of gold.
âHey Hey, My My, Rock And Roll Will Never Dieâ.
- - Neil Young - -

Rust Never Sleeps is one of my favorite albums.
Love that song. â€
He's Canadian. Gotta love him! I love "Heart of Gold". Another good one from him is "Ohio" and "Cinnamon Girl". Hey Jamel, I'm 62 years old and I like some Hip Hop. I like it all! Music connects us all.

"Ohio" is my favorite by him. Then again thats where I'm from đ€đ
Neil is close to 80 years old and still performs at Farm Aid every year.
Easy now. He's 75. Exact same age as my mom. They were in primary school together for a little while in Toronto in the 1950s.
A true lover of humanity. Philosophical pioneer whose music connects like no other...
So Neil's mom lived in New Smyrna Beach, FL, where he actually went to early elementary school. Some time in the mid 80's I was performing in a duo doing mostly covers with a good friend. We heard that Neil was in town visiting his mom who was sick. We were playing at a local watering hole and there was Neil eating and listening to the music. On a break my partner insisted on going to tell him what a fan he was so we went over to his table.

he is Canadian
The family was taking an extended vacation in the warm climate of Florida which they thought would aid in Neil's recovery from polio. And yes - Neil did attend Faulkner Street Elementary School, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, in the first grade from January to May, 1952.
Glad Neil was nice to you. He is a very nice man - but a little shy sometimes which makes a few people think he is not friendly or snobbish.
He's a great Canadian and we don't mind sharing him with the world. ;)
Neil Young is so talented, and heâs given us many decades of beautiful music. Down the rabbit hole you go!
Jamal, we DO care about you! We love sharing the great old music of our youth with you because we know you will appreciate it like we did when we first heard it!

He's a Canadian treasure Hes alive but he has an aneurysm in his brain so every day is precious!!!!!
You're so right...wisdom beyond his years....He cares about the music.and he cares about humanity....
Needle and the Damage Done. Yes, he is still alive. Great lyricist. He was so young here.Old Man gets me every time.
Jamel, myself being a white man I consider you as a brother, you bring joy to me with your music that you react to and your knowledge of music, Thank You Brother and God Bless you, I think you do have a Heart of Gold.
Such a great comment! My sentiments exactly!
You must be American having to mention your melanin content
@@personalcheeses8073 Good point! All men are brothers; Jamal is one of the better ones.
Neil Young was one of the few artists I could kick back and listen to for hours back in the day. I would play side 1 and side 2 of every album we had,
Jamal, I listen to you because you have great reviews. Iâm 75 years, and I can almost always tell a kind heart. You my man, do have a heart of gold.
"Needle And The Damage" brother. You know I won't steer you wrong.
this song brings me to tears every time. powerful raw lyricism.
Yeah. Thatâs a great song and one that will rip your heart apart. Heâs somebody that Iâve always paid attention to. Just canât help it.
Definitely..
That is a godly song, my #1 choice from Neil, who has lots o greatness.
renegade4dio the story behind the song shows where his songwriting was coming from; everything he saw and experienced. Heâs up there in my opinion (doesnât matter what I think) on the list of the best songwriters ever.
You will find Jamal, the more you react to neil's music, that Neil can't be pigeonholed into one genre of music. People want to lable him the grandfather of grunge, which i think is bull, Neil is rock, hard rock, folk, folk rock, country, and country rock. Depending on what mood your in Neil has a song for it.
He was part of Crosby Stills, Nash, and Young. He spine out for Civil Rights. Southern man is powerful.
And they played Woodstock. Such legends.
I've been listening to Neil for 50 years.Inspired me to play guitar
Listen to artists of the singer songwriter era,70s was my fav.
You need to listen to âCarry Onâ by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. The Harmonies are incredible!!! And yes the Young is Neil !!!
Suite Judy Blue Eyes.
That's a Stephen Stills song
Once he hears CSN&Y he'll be wanting more.
I second both - first thing came to my mind was Suite Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby Stills Nash and Young EPIC!
And, Wooden Ship
Cool! Neil is actually the "father" of grunge though this is his folk side. You hear his rock style more on Hey hey my my, Powderfinger, Sedan Delivery, or Rockin' in the free world.

Neil Young...'The Loner', 'Powderfinger' &' Pocahontas' are 3 classics I love. Oh Yeah.
Neil Young is still alive, thank god. "Old Soul" indeed. Try Harvest Moon, and I also love Cinnamon Girl.
My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)
One acoustic and one electric. Uncle Neil is one of the greatest of all time. Not as many people know his music now because he refuses to let his music be used in commercials.

Neil's still alive and kicking. He's 74 years old and he's married to actress Darryl Hannah.
Whaaaaaat? Crazy Horse married the mermaid?? Upped his already ultra cool status in my book theređđ

110% right about Neil Young my friend. Once those pipes get switched on, there's never any wondering or guessing who's singing one of his songs.
I must have listened to this track hundreds of times and I still get the chills every time.
Neil Young is a truly great song writer and performer, but what I admire most about him is the way he stands up for the downtrodden. The indigenous people of the world need more people to stand with them like Neil does. âđżâđŸâđœâđŒâđ»

Like A Hurricane live man. That one is just insanely good. Remember the video ?
At 74, Neil Young is still Rockin' in the Free World. He's a huge activist and recently became a US citizen so he can actively vote
Have you not figured out that Voting is a joke yet? And the Central Bankers own ALL the politicians and the media?
In 1969 at the age of 24 Neil was sick with a 103° fever and was bored so he sat down and wrote 3 songs.. Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River and Cowgirl In The Sand.. and forever cemented himself as a pillar of rock and roll as an ICON!!
RUST NEVER SLEEPS MAN! And Neil either. Blessings on you man.
That sucks. Neil is a liberal jackwad.
Pulsar Lights no doubt man. Democracy is just a word, real gangsters run the world. The banksters
Neil Young is still out performing, and still killing on stage. I've seen him at least 3 times, last time about two years ago as part of Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Tour. He is amazing.
Fantastic comments!!! I know this song when I was young and heard it for the first time in 1972!! I still think this was one of the best performances he ever gave!
Neil Young is the GOAT. âSouthern Manâ âHarvest Moonâ or anything by brother Neil
100% true.
Well I hope ol' Neil will remember. A southern man don't need him 'round anyhow!
what do you know about the goat?
Alive and well, married to Daryl Hanna now I believe. He's a full fledged member of the R&R Hall of fame, played with the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young. He's a legend.

Neil is one of the most special Canadians ever born. Great to see people discover him for the first time.
Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young...two of the greatest story tellers ever - both Canadian. Talents like this are extremely rare.
My dad raised me listening to Neil Young. I don't know if I would've been so fortunate to find him otherwise. That's a very sad thought.
I'm from Winnipeg, born and bred. Neil is one of ours. Prairie inspired, of the True North, and greatly under rated. Keep on Rockin in the Free World !!
mista gregory You could do a lot worse than be born Canadian
Neil Young is very Special! Yes!
Yes, he is very much alive.
React to: 'into the black'
Then 'out of the blue'
And recently married to someone as funny as himself ... Daryl Hannah. Can just picture their life as a married couple lol.
@@RedDawnRocker unbelievable . she was a hottie in the 80's
So glad you discovered these great artists like Neil Young, Jamal.
Next, CSN&Y! Great harmonies and lyrics, and more Neil Young, too. Peace!
Neil Young is great and Southern man is one of his best songs, this one is great to.
Check out "Cinnamon Girl", "Rockin' in the Free World", "Harvest Moon" and also go to Crosby, Nash and Young(CSNY) and look at their Music.
Mark Thompson, don't forget Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills
Seriously! CSNY simply cant go wrong. Please, please, check out Harvest Moon, most romantic aong ever
Type O Negative did a completely awesome cover of "Cinnamon Girl" that IMHO surpasses the original. Jamel needs to hear that one.
Yes yes and more yes!!!!
@@todddawson9901 That's why I mentioned it
Hell yes......surprised me with the Neil Young man...im lovin it...the same...check out the studio version with his full band but he is amazing alone
Neil is the Young in the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young video you reacted to..... LOVE him always and forever, he is the epitome of nostalgia for me...
Neil they say has a home studio, and has recorded enough songs to keep his family supported for generations.
One you are less likely to have heard before, I think, is "Needle and the Damage Done." It's short and sad, as you might imagine. Real good though.
This has always been my favorite but I've never seen anyone react to it.
Absolutely.
My favorite Neil Young song. I'd love to see a reaction to 'Needle...'
Yes, Jamel - We do care about you!!
( I love how you applauded with audience at the end of these two Neil Young videos - you do you, J! đđ€Łđđ)
Be prepared to go down a 'Brother Neil' rabbit hole:
Harvest Moon
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
After the Gold Rush
(His older bands)
Buffalo Springfield- For What it's Worth.
(Other band)
Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young
(CSN&Y)
OHIO
Carry On
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Southern Cross
Wooden Ships
Helplessly Hoping (this particular song 'gets me' every time)
STAY SAFE
If you get into C S N almost cut my hair would be a good one...love you dude!
Jamel's observations tell me he's a bit of an old soul himself. He's also obviously a really nice guy.
Next song should be Neil Young's "Philadelphia".
@@MatthewC137 That is a great song- it tears me up every time I hear it.
Upđ€đ»đđ»
Is it possibly 'Caveman' with Dennis Quaid and Ringo Starr?
"Aw, this guy's a character..." That's what musicians did back in the day as they tuned their guitars for the next song, or as he was doing, found the right harmonica for the tune...it was called banter, and it filled those few moments between songs with interplay with the audience. đ
He still takes his time sorting out his guitars and harmonicas while performing, and the audience just waits as they know he's worth waiting for.
I hope you get a national show. Our nation needs you
Neil Young wrote so many classics. He makes me proud to be Canadian.
I say time and time again that he's one of your finest exports. Ha ha ha. He's my absolute favorite.
I'd say he's the greatest national treasure of Canada, coming from a European who doesn't really know that much about Canada. Regardless, people will be singing along to Neil Young songs in 2220, no doubt.
Between Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Rush, The Guess Who and Triumph... You guys have done good eh ?
@@thomascarpenter7415 Tragically Hip
@@joakim2k10 Iâd have to put Gordon Lightfoot at the top .
Of course we care about you man, that's why we continue to invite you into our houses and lives to share the magic of music together
Neil is my musical hero and, yes! He is very much still alive!
Don't forget "DOWN BY THE RIVER "
And Powderfinger!
Neil's look matches his vocal sound far better now that he's in his 70s. He's certainly still kickin', though...
Now you gotta do Neil Youngâs âHey Hey, My Myâ! Then after that do Neil Young & Pearl Jam doing âKeep On Rockin in the Free Worldâ! Both are a MUST!
^This
92 MTV music awards. Best version. The energy. The boys from Pearl Jam trying to keep up with Neil. The best.
I agree! Neil Young is timeless and a very old and wise soul.
My most favorite artist. Thank you for featuring Neil!
The studio version had Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor on backing vocals.
That's a power lineup.....
Nicolette Larson also
@@LouieCaporussoJr Sadly, not enough people know who she is.
@@johncampbell756 I do. Lotta Love was her hit.
@@johncampbell756 I do!
Neil's a character? Oh my, you have no idea.
Daniel Skorich lol thatâs funny! Yep!
One of the great characters, really. The realest of music...
@@christopherecatalano They don't get any more real than Neil.đ
This performance was in February 1971. Neil Young was 25 at the time.
Neil Young is one of the best singer/songwriters that has ever lived! Try Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. He was a member before going solo. They played at Woodstock. Awesome!
Check out Neil Young with Crazy Horse singing "Cinnamon Girl", one of my favorite songs.....
Try "A Man Needs A Maid." It's haunting; it really gets to you. Also you might check out songs he did as a member of Buffalo Springfield like "Mr. Soul" and "I Am Child."
When I went to secondary school in Canada, the 70's, we studied his lyrics in English class.
He's from Canada and showed up in Los Angeles driving a hearse when he ran into Stephen Stills who he played with in Buffalo Springfield.
Was Stephen Stills injured? A hearse is a pretty heavy car.
Crosby Stills Nash and Young. He was Young.
@@MordicusEgg good dad joke right there haha
The fact that once person is making all this sound is crazy
You have to hear his song Harvest moon, It's great.
Albert Mauriello awesome song.
The MTV Unplugged version is amazing.
The old hippie is still kickin. As much an activist as a musician still.
this is where I quit being a fan of his. His music is great.. just don"t want to hear your celebrity opinion.
Neil young is/was one of my all time favorite musicians, that being said Iâm with jeff. Back in the day him and David Crosby , Steven stills, and gram Nash were on the cutting edge of political activism. Songs like Ohio spoke to that generation about the injustice wrought on the American people. He spoke out against the establishment and despised the man. Now he is the man, we become what we hate. To reach that level in the entertainment business a dues must be paid and when the powers tell you to bark , little puppy you better start barking. Iâve since stopped listening to his music because I no longer believe in him. I was a fan for 40 years, seen him in concert 9 times, there are many musicians I stopped listening to because of their selling out. Jamal brother man you should checkout joy villa. Look her up first see what sheâs about then check out her music. What you know about bob Marley, bunny whaler, Peter tosh? There is a whole other genre to explore.
Jeff Klatt
Opposite for me. Wish more people, celebrity or otherwise were activists. Different strokes for different folks.
I believes brain cancer. Pretty sure
@@jeffklatt4835 He's always been political, if you didn't know then you aren't much of a fan. Keep on Rockin' in the Free World tho
Yes he's alive and still performing. Love Neil đšđŠ
Yes he's still here, thank goodness! Neil's classic and always rocking no matter!
Ohio is a great song based on a historical event, with Neil Young
That just had its unfortunate 50th anniversary.
The Kent State killings was a tragedy!
Apparently CSN/CSNY reactions get taken down a lot. Might be a waste of time, not listening to it but making a video.
John Campbell an unfortunate event but not an unfortunate anniversary because that means it isnât forgotten
@r__p__m Are you so sure that Neil isn't part of the blocking?
IMO, "Southern Man" is his best and most iconic song.
I very much agree
Alive and going strong!! Love Neil Young!
I consider myself a strong man. When I listen to Neil it makes me feel weak. I will ball my eyes out when he leaves us
When artists were about the music and not about the fame, money and Instagram likes.
And they actually had talent that didnât need to be tweaked in the studio.
and people played real instruments, and autotune was non existent
Ahh Neil was one of the same people like all others in the music industry making sure not one penny wasn't kept from him is as his right good on him.
Cinnamon Girl is a classic. When he was with Crosby, Stills and Nash they created some beautiful music as well. Good '60's protest stuff. You should look up Southern Man anything off of 4-Way Street album.
Neil Young is still alive! Celebrated his 75th birthday last Thursday November 12th. KXCI our local community funded radio station here in Tucson,Az.đïž Had a Neil Young Birthday special on the Thursday night show called "Half Time At the Apocalypse !" All Of Neil's great music for a couple of hours! đ¶đŒđ”â
You can pick any Neil Young song and realize he is an "old soul" his talent and storytelling ability still amazes me 50 years later. His 1992 release "Harvest Moon" was an instant classic. Words cannot describe how his music effects me!! Rock on Mr. Young!
