A powerful magic song that takes you on a journey across the land . This is the greatest song Neil ever made . The guitar leads the way . So poetic, such a Master. We love you 💜 Neil . You are the best !!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you. It's because it's his passion ; as I see it . And his compassionate for humanity. When I saw him with POTR in 2015 and 2016 , I couldn't believe that he could " get down" with the band. It was killer ! ( And yes we Woodstock hippies are few these days !)
That he offered us the truth in a tv documentation that he believed in Ronald Reagan in the beginning of the 1980's, makes him in my opinon to a strong character, besides his awesome music.
I've heard about 30 different versions and even if this was recorded on a cell phone, and it doesn't have Crazy Horse, it's a pretty damn good version of one of Neil's most soulful and dark songs he ever created.
Only 30 mate ... when this guy stood up to sing it was a mystery tour for his backing band ... :_) and we are the benefactors of that spontaneity absolutely ... the thing is that Old Black guitar of his had a mind of its own ... it spoke to him, and he spoke to it ...
@@melorafoy7109 Go Mr.Willy go! P.s. I think in an interview I saw he gave it up.HOWEVER....I WOULD PUT HIM ON A BILLBOARD AND MAKE HIM THE POSTER CHILD FOR GANGAH ❤
Neil Young et ta musicalité , une osmose pour les sens, une dimension sensorielle, bien au delà de ce morceau. Si la pureté de ta musique est quelque peu diminué par le format (fichier informatique)quel bonheur de t'écouter ,encore et encore .....
Went to the Mansfield show the following night hoping to hear Cortez.... Didn't realize he played it at jones beach. Thanks for posting!!! BTW, Neil refused to call the venue Xfinity Center, slammed Comcast and called it Greatwoods all evening ( it's original name). Legend.
I grew up in Dallas, and we always went to concerts at Starplex Amphitheater. I don't know what they call it these days - it's probably had 3 or 4 names in the 10 years I have been gone. But for me, it will always be called Starplex.
Saw them at "Great Woods" Mansfield back in 94...Neil was wearing combat boots and war dancing every song...best concert of my life...Like a Hurricane Encore ...
I first heard this song when I was around 17 yrs. old. still in high school. Loved it then. Love it even more now. What a catalogue of music. I'm ten minutes older than dirt now, 413 in dog years, but I am young again for a few moments. This brings back good memories of a simpler and great time in my life. I had a 70' Dodge Challenger with an 8-track that I bought for $1,800.00 bucks. I was Kowalski but my car was Hemi Orange with white interior. Yes, slapstick shifter. Long full head of hair and had to step over the chicks throwing themselves at me. Ah sweet beautiful youth.
Soulful, somber, soothing...simply brilliant song, and best at excessive volume, as I enjoy some of Nature's sweetest leaf! Indeed (hehe), Neil Young's music and cannabis go better together than a peanut butter & jelly sandwhich! Word.
First Neil Young song my old band learned and performed. A few years ago I finally finished building my own "Old Black" clone complete with custom wound RC pickups.
Rolling Stone calls it a classic, Cortez the Killer, electric guitar song from 1975’s Zuma Album. All those free days driving the PCH1 through Malibu with Briggs brought about Neil’s best work by far. The whole album is just classic Neil. Barstool Blues and Danger Bird arem’t played enough live by My. Young. Can only hope to see him alive some time soon - nothing like it !!
Great feeling ! totally different than with CH...but still a fascinating angle on the song ..and those guys are very artistic musically and visually... A Ballet of arms..that is touch by grace
jude999 Totally valid. But Neil Young + Crazy Horse is a thing that's in it's own world of awesomeness, never to be achieved by any other group of backing musicians. Let's just revel in the fact that good ol' Neil is still out there, rocking like a man 1/3 his age, and filling hearts with great music.
OH Neil....., I m not gay but i love you so much, i m sure there are little pieces of gold in yr heart, come to Belgium one more time and send me a ticket xxx
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world And that palace in the sun. On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wandered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. And they carried them to the flatlands But they died along the way And they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today. And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer.
Love Neil's music and passion, his politics leave something to be desired, 20/20 hindsight Saint Neil, I'm sure you are holy, LOL look in the mirror....
To each their own. Whereas I have always loved Crazy Horse, This band adds a fresh twist that I really enjoy. Crazy Horse is more about the rockin' Neil, and like the International Harvesters, The Promise Of The Real provide great back-up for the more country Neil. I'm happy to see both.
It's a Neil Young concert. If he took a backseat to the other musicians, other than a customary solo, I'd be annoyed since I bought an overpriced ticket to go see him, not someone else. Maybe that's just my feelings, but that's how I feel.
This song is absolutely stupid. Either ole' Neil got really buzzed writing it or hit his head or something. The lyrics are horrible!! Some were sacrificed so others could go on? GOOD GOLLY! they captured thousands of innocents and butchered them in their pagan beliefs as human sacrifices. I love Neil but this song is offensive on some many levels. Not to mention irresponsible to kids who love his music and don't bother to research history
