I was playing bass in a jazz band at a restaurant when Neil walked up stood right next to me and watched me play for a minute. We weren’t that good and I wondered why he’d bother. I guess the guy just likes bands and music. I’ve been playing for 50 years and Neil standing there is still my biggest thrill.
Spike: How did you keep from having a moment of incontinence ???
mrmusic 248 That just gets more difficult naturally, as a matter of time...
SUPER COOL!!
That’s so awesome man.
I would have fallen over...
I really enjoy watching Neil talk. A true legend, who thankfully is still with us in 2021. Hope he lives until 120..him and McCartney.
Stills & Young play off of one another very well.
And Brian Wilson. ❤
And Mick Jagger
Neil is my favorite rock and roll artist. I really admire him most for taking care of his son and showing him the love that he does, he takes him with him on tour and Neil also raises a lot of money to help out special needs children and their parents making life better for all of them. Nobody can rock like Neil Young, he has an incredible sound and tone, I love his lyrics and his enthusiasm every time he preforms he puts his heart and soul into his performance. Thank you and GOD bless you Neil Young.
VonBluesman you sum up my thoughts exactly here, good job!
Jason Guion Thank you.
@@jasong546 - Same.
It's a incredible experience to hear him playing in concert.
If I recall correctly, Neil had polio as a child. He came out of it, and became a great artist. One of my favorites.
Excellent Interviewer ! Asks relevant and interesting questions, allows time for full responses, doesn't jump in quick when there's a silent moment, allows Neil to cogitate, recall, reminisce... Perfect.
Thanks for watching Choim...Best, Joe
He passed away recently (Sep. '22). RIP
The greats always give credit to their teammates.
Best comment here!!
Neil changed my life in to this wonderfull song. I thank him with all of my heart.....
I like the way Joe Chambers always asks interesting questions, from his obvious knowledge of not only the artists and their music but instruments and gear and he lets them answer without butting in or talking over them. It makes for a very calm and relaxed interview.
Thanks again Andy... best, Joe
Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone has a similar interview style and always seems to get the best out of his interviewees for the same reason.
Living in the jungle in Costa Rica I'm starved for music and music history. Gracias for your fabulous shows. Especially about Neil Young. I saw him in Washington, D.C. at the Cellar Door in 1970. I wonder if he remembers having a bottle of wine with me and my boyfriend after one of the shows. One of my most treasured memories. Pura Vida
Jane Swidler Glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks for listening!!
Jane you must’ve been a looker for Neil to chill with ya
"I heard you knockin on my Cellar Door".
The way Neil hits the strings with his pick is instantly recognisable. Like all the greatest artists he has created his own unique impression of the world and his place in it. A remarkable achievement..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Banjo... I agree.... Joe
A true genius.
I'll never forget going on a road-trip with my family in 2018 to see Neil in St. Louis and 2 nights in Chicago. It was a long drive up from Atlanta, but it was one of the greatest weeks of my life.
Thanks for the memories Neil.
Hang on to this one we only get a couple if we are lucky
Much like Jaco plays the sounds of Florida, Neil's music really recreates the sound of Ontario to me! The rusty colours and loneliness are reflected in his distorted guitar.... What a great artist!
That was a great comment....being from Buffalo myself...I feel that and know living in Florida
Floyd Cramer? THAT is wild.
I never would have picked him as an influence on Neil's playing.
But as soon as he mentioned the name, it makes perfect sense.
Especially in his acoustic style. He has that two note roll thing, that approximates a bent note.
Neil achieves a similar result with hammer-ons and pulls within a chord shape. "Tell Me Why" is crawling with that.
"Old Man" is very Floydy too.
That's quite the revelation.
Awesome!
Agreed-and like you I'd never have had an inkling that Cramer was an influence but it made perfect sense to me when I thought about it. There was a Buffalo Springfield song that I instantly thought of, the intro to "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" (2nd bar) has that trademark hammer on. Interesting, influences can be far and wide.
One of my favorite Guitarists/Songwriters of all-time. Most of the time, you're either known for your writing or your playing. Neil bridged that gap and is known for both - and rightfully so.
Neil really answered all questions with the best effort. What a great song maker and person! Thank You Neil Young!
I get goose bumps to this day from hearing him play Corte's the Killer live 20 years ago...
6:52 Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine, years later, eventually masters this approach in a bit of an updated way. So great to hear Neil talk about a lineage of players being influenced by those who came before and making it their own.
I immediately thought of Shields when he said it. Alan Sparhawk from Low does a similar thing on occasion too
You beat me to it. I was just about to say the same thing.
I loved the Lonnie Mack shout out.
when that happens that’s music at it’s best.
'Cortez' is my favorite solo of all time. The tone, the touch, the ideas, everything.
Yes, Cortez is a sloooowww masterpiece. @Ian
I was just thinking of that solo when I was listening to the first part of the interview-then I see your comment! Yeah, it's quite the epic solo, the pacing and phrasing etc etc-all brilliant.
I love that it’s at the beginning of the track rather than in the middle.
"Like A Hurricane" is my favorite. It SOUNDS like a hurricane!
I've seen him in concert! A great musician and I enjoy his music. 🎸
Most days I listen to Neil, The Beatles and Motown. It's a natural delight.
On The Beach is something unique too.
I was born in 1956, the year Elvis broke, and I'm amazed, constantly, at the fabulous information we all have available to us. I've follow Mr. Young since 1968, and the concept that someday I'd be able to learn from him via this "thing" we call the Internet is...well, a kind of miracle in a way. Very grateful.
I think every musician can stand to learn something - *something* - from Neil Young.
I am immediately bending all my whammy bars.
I love Neil Young.
Saw Neil in 1972 on his Harvest album tour. Massively popular and influential album and Neil was about the world's biggest rocker at that time. Linda Ronstadt was the opening act wearing her Cub Scout uniform. What a night!
How great is THAT!!!
I'm Jealous.
He has so many great songs I can't pick a favorite one. I am a fan of his since 1975! 😁
Of late Neil i have been grinning knowing that Canadians are rich w. good humour, a literal vanguard of Our Fathers Love. Many thanks from Montreal. d.
I'm glad he mentioned Stephen.
He mentioned he was recording Prairie Wind when this was taped.
Excellent concert video from the Ryman !
Very nice interview - you've got him nicely relaxed there, and very forthcoming.

In my opinion, I feel that Neal Young has always been forth coming. It probably just depends on the person doing the receiving.
@@thor3022 Neal?
in otherwords... not so prickly...
great interviewer
The longer I watched this the bigger my smile got. Neil Young is a genius!
my all time fav singer /songwriter as much as I love others neil Young is tops in my book followed his career since late 1960s
I could listen to Neil’s triple album, “Decade,” on a loop and never tire of it.
A great collection. Wild to think Neil could release 4 1/2 more "Decades" at this point. His archives are amazing
This is a great interview. Thank you! 👏🏻
His songs were the first I learned to play on my acoustic guitar. I met him in Chicago in 1999.
It's almost like having a beer with the great Mr. Young. Great interview
I am sometimes lax about practicing guitar but watching Neil just makes me want to pick it up and practice all day
That was interesting and informative. I never thought I’d hear Neil say “funky” so many times in an interview, though.
Great to hear Neil praising Hank Marvin and recognising his importance to the history of the electric guitar.
Hank Marvin is the best instrumental guitarist Ever.
From Hank to Hendrix
Funny that the whammy bar or as we call it in England, the tremelo arm, became so integral to Hanks's sound, as he tells the story of how he ended up ordering a Strat because he admired James Burton and assumed that as a top player he would naturally play the top of the range Fender, which was the gold hardware Strat! Of course JB has always used Teles! Imagine how different the whole history of the Shadows might have been had Hank got a Tele rather than a Strat!
@@jokermaan1 Cliff Richard actually bought the Red Stratocaster and essentially loaned to Hank . Later when American guitars were more readily available in the UK , he gave it back .I read a recent interview in the UK mag Mojo and they asked Hank about ' the Strat ' and it's current whereabouts , he said that Bruce Welch ' borrowed ' it off Cliff twenty something years ago and wouldn't give it back ... He sounded amused , It all seemed very civilised , Hank seems to be quite ' guitar rich ' . He still has the white Bison from the matching set Burns made them ...
Yeah, right; Neil relaxed could talk to me all day. So cool to hear him give a nod to great guitarists and talk techniques borrowed from BB King, Hank Marvin, Chuck Berry. Cheers
The king of rock and roll
I hope to see another Neil Young show when this lock down is over.
Keep on rockin' in the free world!
Thanks Joe! I hope you and your family are doing well!
TommyMacDaddy1 me to! Glasgow misses him
Incredible interview, thanks.
Just a great show Nice 10-4
Finally recognition for Lonnie Mack. His version of Suzie Q is a good example.
Lonnie Mack was a great player and singer.
As a guitarist and a fan I say thank you for all you have done for music. You are an inspiration to me not only as a songwriter, but for all the noises you have conjured up!
Neil’s the man, what a talented, honest to his craft guy.
Joe,..I just love all your interviews, thanks man..
Thank you John….Joe
Absolutely brilliant upload!
This is gold. Hearing Neil talking amps, guitars and fx is awesome! So much better than hearing some tech talk. This is the kinda stuff I love.
@Wicker Billy that was a good album!
@Wicker Billy i remember that album - lots of people did not like it because it wasn't just another version of "southern man". i liked it because it was cool and because he is neil young and he is way cool. he could play some kind of klezmer music and he would still be cool.
Wicker Billy I'm surprised he didn't mention The Whizzer what was made for him, or perhaps I missed it?
Actually he did lol just watched it again
I love my Twin Reverb fender
This was great !!! Fan since the '60s so seeing Neil in a relaxed setting is special.
I know about the fires. I hope he still has all that classic gear.
Thank you so much for posting.
agree, NY is an icon of music from our early years. many guitarists of these years are his equal but not a one better or sharper through all the years...
I love Neil’s music.
Classic conversation Thank you.
Nice interview guys thanks!
" I just play the guitar", what a cool, real artist/human. Neil Young is definitely one of a kind. Great interview, as always Joe. Peace.
Thanks again Monkeyman.. Joe
Good ol' Neil Young great music
Hi Joe , hope you are well 😊🎶 Most excellent interview as always. Thank you so much for sharing 🎼 Love ya Neil
Really enjoyed seeing this video with Neil very chilled and normal.. So good
Nice to see him relaxed. Nice interview
What another amazing piece. Your recordings of all this history are priceless!
Wow...fantastic listening to Neil in this interview.
I'm just playing the guitar, I couldn't do what I do without them. What a class act.
Great interview!
Neil is a vintage gear pioneer.
Nice relaxed interview, very informative, good stuff!
Great interview.👍👍😎
Happy New Year Neil Young, Thank You for all the years of great music ! Definitely a Heart of Gold !
Wonderful diversity of interesting and important musicians, glad I subscribed! More Neil please! :)
tuskedbeast thanks !!! Joe
Neil is great. Love that guy. I like how he remembers all his guitars and amps. Neil, do you ever speak with Linda Ronstadt? She worships you.
I love these Interviews / videos! I work just up the street from The Musicians Hall Of Fame. I always recommend friends from out of town who visit Nashville to check it out. I think The Nashville Musicians Hall Of Fame should have more marketing or a way to make it known it exists. Many people who visit Nashville don’t seem to realize it’s here. Thanks for these videos! I love music history.
Mike From Nashville Thanks Mike.. Best, Joe

Motorized faders on classic amplifiers!!! That's a new one! Great idea for keeping it true to the original sound, yet utilizing technology to bring it to the next level. AWESOME!!!,
RIP Sal Tarantino. Been gone a long time. Glad to see he gave him a mention. He really helped create his sound by working on his amps for years. Chris Barnett was his apprentice for years and is now the guy I take my stuff to. Sal was a trip. I took an old Fender Blackface to him and when I got it back I was like "it is not exactly what I want". He told me it was perfect and refused to alter it. Haha.
Neil has always been on my radar back with Buffalo Springfield, there's no BS with Neil, straight honest talk, you don't see that often
Amazing and Needed
great video and so interesting .
Nice interview
Awesome interview. I only wish there were more than 2 parts.
I like the way he can just roll off the names of the people from decades ago, up to current, that had an influence on him and who should get credit for being part of his sound. He hasn't forgotten where and what he came from. In this day and age, it's almost a relief to hear one of your favourites has this kind of humility and respect to acknowledge whom ever he can.
so nice hearing neil being so comfortable on camera. nicely done, Joe.
Great insight into NY,s equipment that he has over the years produced the great depth of sounds on his albums. Also his praise for his back room crew who ensure NY gets the sound he wants
Fabulous!
Great interview! Would love to have heard more about Neil's gear.
Man ... I just love Neil. Always have. I've been blessed to see him with and without CSN maybe 7 times or so. He always delivers and you just never know what he's gonna do. In my band we routinely play Harvest Moon. People come up when we go on break and tell us how much this song means to them. Love the voice ... the guitar ... and the master storytelling.
Great knowledgeable interviewer!
Blayze Is Still My Name thank you Blaze... Best... Joe
Thanks! Neil has always been my musical muse, this is so cool man
Neils been my favorite performer since I was 15. My favorite of his concerts I’ve seen was 1998 or1999 at veterans park in Manchester he was solo and we were sitting a few rows from the stage. He played many of my faves from heart of gold to keep on rockin in the free world. And many many more just a perfect day but I felt like that after every show he did. Rust never sleeps in western mass. He’s a true legend and I will go see him and crazy horse until I can’t any more!
I love how he mentions Lonnie Mack and Hank Marvin. Two of my wang bar influences along with Hendrix and Neil. I have many other influences with my style of playing.
Thank you for a wonderful and enlightening interview.
Plendl, my dad, Joe, passed September 28th, but I know he would have appreciated your kind comment. Thank you for supporting the channel- hope you can also visit the museum sometime.
Best,
Britt
one of my fav interviews of Neil Young. Thanks
Thanks Juke.... I enjoyed it too. Thanks for watching...Joe
Great singer songwriter and guitarist and more importantly able to put it all together and present it as a unit. What many guitarists and musicans fail to grasp is that playing chords and scales is not necessarily going to propel you forward but playing songs will
A real Class act as well as an generational icon...giving credit to his tech and unseen tuning guys for his sound!!
Sooo much respect for him and his accomplishments!!!
Thank you so much!
Love Neil. Always so real and comfortable in his own skin. And what a mountain of deep and honest music he has crafted over his lifetime.
Ol' Black - Gibson Les Paul he got from Jim Messina; and the Fender Deluxe, and play like Hank Marvin and Lonnie Mack on the whammy he bent himself to make it easier to use. Brilliant that he understands the machinry that makes the music.
Great interview. I love Neil
Thanks Anthony...happy you enjoyed it.
I love you, Niel! Thanks for not getting political on this brilliant presentation. Damn honest artist.
Gotta love Neil. I was so fortunate to have seen Neil and Crazy Horse play the Trubadore. I will never forget that amazing night.
WHAT A SOUND!
I love Neil Young. His music holds a very special place for me. One of the all time greats. Thank you Neil.
Joe, I've seen this before several times but I ran across it again today. It is fabulous, as all of your interviews are. Thanks for doing what you do. Billy (Mississippi)
Billy, thank you for watching, dad really appreciated his friends like you here on YT.
I too often watch these interviews and learn something new every time. Your kindness and continued support of the channel mean so much. Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
Best,
Britt
You sir are an excellent interviewer. Thanks for these.
Thank you Buck...Joe
Definitely one of many heroes of mine. What a pro.
Listening to Neal is a music geek's dream! What an amazing mind for what's what in the era he played.
