He is the epitome of a musician/singer. He doesn’t have the best musical voice but there is something so special about his sound. His songs will live on forever
I met Neil with Darryl 2 years ago, quickly shook his hand, he introduced himself, he said "Hi I'm Neil Young " as if i didn't know ! I just couldn't how gracious he was. I didn't stuff my phone in his face I just cherished the moment and walked away. such an Icon 💯
Gary Kay I'm just a mere 62 but I'm with you, brother, his music and message have been a part my life from the beginning his career, and he keeps speaking truth.
I am 65 and when I was young and still living at home would play his vinyl on my parents stereo and I’d play Neil young and my dad who didn’t listen to much of the new music would always tell me to play Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain. He loved that song.
Lots of people have talent, but none are as emotionally courageous, uncompromising, artistically curious, and astoundingly sturdy as Young. He is in a category that doesn't include anyone else. You know that game where you choose any three people from history you'd like to have dinner with? I think I'd pick Groucho Marx, Jesus, and Neil Young.
Yeah , you might as well add Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny to your list . You need to have actual people who lived not made up fairy-tail characters
Immer wieder ein Traum ✌️...der Klassiker... immer anders Live gespielt vom Meister... Superstar Neil Young ✌️✌️... eine Augenweide und Hoergenuss pur... unsterblich ✌️✌️✌️💋
Took my wife to the first Farm Aid Concert in 1985. We were on our second date, we married a year and a half later and are still married and still love to listen to Neil together.
Superstar Neil Young wieder Mal Live in Höchstform ✌️✌️💋... Amazing ✌️✌️...er schlachtet weiter seine grandiosen Mega - Songs aus...bis in alle Ewigkeit ✌️✌️ ... unsterblich ✌️✌️
You are just the dreamer..and we are in your dream....Youve painted pictures and we are a part of the scene...THANK YOU NEIL YOUNG...most of my Rock heros have succumb to the age...But you continue....better than yesterday...I love you Neil Young.....over 50years of greatness...OMG
This was honestly the best part of Farm Aid. Even from a weathered,old Neil and Crazy Horse there was so much energy. The stadium was shaking during that opening jam session.
I wouldn't forget Frank Marino and Mahogony Rush either. Also memorable mentions for The Band, The Guess Who / Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Joni Mitchel.
Man,its impossible hold the tears.I m 41 years old,and this guy its my Idol.N his its getting old....like me...its sad.Neil Young still sing with the soul,he has a heart of gold,a real one.
Rock.... punk... Grunge.. lui è lui e basta! E' un GENIO!! Un pò pazzo, del resto come quasi tutti i geni che si rispettino.... ... lui è in me... è il mio alter ego.... lo adoro.... è la mia anima, il mio cuore, la mia mente..... arrabbiato (elefant man), grintoso (hauricane), dolce..... ( sugar mountain). Per me è tutto.... è il mondo! Ciao, Neil.... Franco 62 anni, Milano-Italy.
I'm 50 somthing and I've seen neil live.he.s the greatest most down to earth musician. I once had a chance to get on stage. Because I have been playing harmonica since I was 8.but I ended up in the mosh Pitt. Thanks security. I lost five harps a b c d e .thanks neil fans.cant wait to do it again.if I could do it again I'm sure neil would be impressed
Too bad you didnt live near Peterborough, ontario, canada. Neil and Crazy horse would jam at the Red Dog tavern before most tours to shake out their set. It could hold all of 100 people packed. They never let on when they would be there though. His parents live in the area.
How did the crowd not burst out with cheers when the familiar intro to this song began? Did they have no idea what they were about to experience? A hurricane was about to be unleashed.
Tears, not cheers for me. Saw this live in Newcastle around this time. Most memorable part of gig. The distortion. Absolutely beautiful, powerful, moving. There won't be another like him
My memory must be slipping a little. I do apologize to John Melancamp and Niel Young.. I watched as Farm Aid was established and I Donated. But for some odd reason.. My memory kept saying Willie Nelson started it. I knew the fact of it.. Niel and John.. Not Waylon.. Pitched in with Willie in 85 to start Farm Aid.. Guys.. Please forgive me. It was an Honest mistake.. I truly do appreciate and care about each one of you. I grew up playing Niel's songs. One of my favorites was,Heart of Gold. A true Master Piece of its time.. My favorite today is, Rocking in The Free World. To me, that song is one of Niel's Greatest Modern Master Piece's Willie was also an All Time Top Favorite of Mine. The man like Niel, is nothing short of a Legend in music. To see Willie standing there on stage with his Indian Native Look and Ole Trigger,was really something to see. Then John.. A man of so much Talent.. I remember when Jack and Diane hit the shelves. Everyone it seemed, had to buy a copy. John Rocked The 80's.. When I say Rocked. I mean he Rocked !! Concerts,MTV,Hit after Hit. All Three of these legends has had their share of false judgements and wrongful Slanders. But each one represented America and All We Love and Care About. Not one deserved the trash talk they recieved.. Not one. Many Americans has been misguided to believe stuff that just isn't true. Started by nothing more then Gossip,Conspiracy spreading Haters. But I can tell you this. Those Haters just wish they could have raised so much money,put so many to work and support our American Family Farms as these three men has done. I treasure each one of them as I do others that has had such impacts.. Nothing but Love for you Three Brothers.
I don’t know about his greatest....... Helpless, Helpless always just stuns me every time I hear it. Don’t know if to cry, soar in ecstasy.disappear with the geese or just meld with the universe.
This is one of those songs that is a MUST HEAR , Needs to be passed on, doesn't matter what kind of music you're into brilliant work of artistry. Another one of those songs that's a must hear, be for warned 15 minutes long , is Syngring and the glass guitar by Todd Rundgren
,it will be a great honor, to have you in my country, North West part of the peninsula Iberica, hope to see you before I go into the deep valley,! Yours sincerely
Farm-Aid At Hershey.........Central Pennsylvania.........where the heart of the Keystone State remains.....where the Amish, the Mennonites, dairy farmers, fruit farmers, vegetable farmers, all still work the land as it should be worked, for life and love, not for soulless profit and poison of fellow man. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Like the previous message I am 63 and first heard this on American Stars and Bars import in 1979, have been listening ever since .... rock and roll like no other!
cant believ e hes using a 1961 les paul. that's why it sounds like its from his older concerts. best sounding guitar ever mixed with young playing, just incredible. He still has the great voice we all love which is great. huge neil young fan. keep on rocking in the free world brotha :)
Neil knows how to let go of the rock at the bottom of the stream and let's the stream and take me to a place where I need to be. God is with us and this is living proof thank you.
keep rocking on buddy!! i remember 1967-'69 UC CaMPUS BERKELEY--YEAH MAN , THE GREATEST ERA OF MUSIC EVER--LOVE YOU NEIL! JUST KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD!
I'm not going to bash anyone, what for? I'm just going to say that I had to reach for the box of tissues at the beginning & was covered in goosebumps by the end of it and I can only wish that anyone that watches this performance gets the same emotional reaction to it as I got. Long live Neil (and Crazy Horse), greatness personified & true soul survivors. Thanks for sharing, farmaid, after watching it this morning I'm going to work on such a natural high and a silly grin plastered on my face.
Takes me right back to middle school !!!! Always loved neil & im seeing him sunday night in camdem for first time live the hope je doesmt dsapoint me & lays all the hits ❤
the only singer noone cares if he's out of tune is Neil Young, he's always taught us perfection from imperfection, and God almighty what a songwriter and performer, so much passion
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago. Never really knew about neil young .but love love this song .love the guitar. On par with sultans of swing and hotel California!!!!!
If Neil isn't the most talent rocker of all time, then he is certainly among them. He has never become stale by writing the same song over and over again. He can rock out with crazy horse or grab an accoustic and his harmonica and go on stage alone. He is one of the few who I can set aside his political views and just listen to the music.
The big thing is you can feel the intensity in the way he is just in the world he wants to be... its like the song is a area of his life that is stamped in him.. its not about going to a gig and banging out a few songs and going home
Neil never disappoints. A true artist who doesn't compromise. I never ever get tired of him. I will always be a fan. Some artist regress in time but Neil has remained steady never faltering. A favorite of mine for sure. Thanks Neil for your music and convictions. Keep rocking in the free world. A fan for life.
