I was there 2 nights before this ( he played 4 nights). It was magical. It was also about 5 deg Fahrenheit outside. Everyone knew they were witnessing greatness and incomparable genius. When the tickets went on sale it crashed the server ( wasn’t through Ticketmaster). I guess Carnegie Hall wasn’t used to a Neil Young solo concert going on sale. I thought to call the box office directly and a nice women answered “how many do you need”. I had my seating chart open, she sold me two, and that was that. Probably the way Neil would like it- no scalpers or computers, just talking to a nice young lady at the box office.
Truly spellbinding! Thanks Roel for uploading this amazing video. Compelling viewing and Neil's voice sounds incredible..WOW what a night to be there at Carnegie Hall! The video is so stunningly simplistic and yet there's a sense of wonder to the viewer, that tells a story of a man whom has traversed across the decades with little wear and tear, a man whom has brought forward some of the most incredible music to our time! This video is "timeless" and only those who can appreciated Neil's journey can fully understand how complex he truly is, how relevant he still is today.
I've been playing this song recently, a real tour de force when you feel the emotion deep... Neil Young is a true genius, and this is one of this very best works.
Neil, I was born in Texas in 1967 when Light My Fire was at the top during the summer of Love but I was raised in NE Florida by the St. John's River, namely Palatka and Jacksonville. I love this song and I know that the media has made a huge stink between you and Ronnie when there was none. Can't someone disagree or offer a different point of view without a fued? Still, this is a righteous song about the South in regard to backward Good Ol' boy idiots which none of the Van Zants ever were... just proud to be Southern. As a teenager, I played guitar with Johnny VZ at a bar called Peelers in Jax. Beach on the boardwalk in 1985. Good night and yes, I was allowed to play in bars underage with my ABC card as entertainment. I asked Johnny about this "fued" and he laughed.....Ronnie loved all your music. and I know you liked his band's music. I just find it strange that race is still an issue in America... still, MLK's dream is coming to fruition here in the South and everywhere. Rock on, Brother... FGS
Man this f awesome Godbu regret I had tickets for Neil young n a girl stopped me on the way to the concert n said let’s ride around a little I will get you there in time I have met many girls since then but damn it I missed Neil young u know when ur young u think we’ll I will see home next we’ll next time never came thanks for letting me have a glimpse of a musical genius
Not even all of Lynard Skynard (I know the spelling is wrong) were from the south. Ed, the guitar player was from California and was in the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
ben Rohat Ünal Neil abi hayatımı değiştirdin abi seni gördüğüm günden beri aralıksız dinliyorum abi. sen bir dahisin ve ben de bir gün Türkiye'nin Neil Young'ı olacağım. Diyarbakırlı Rohat Ünal+Kanada'lı Neil Young ohhh
Boy it is a good camera you got. You are zoming in and the picture is cristal clear. And so much better than TV stuff because we can see the hands playing and try to play it right.
Felipe Vale What you are not understanding? The lyrics talk about slavery in the south of USA. Southern man, how long , how long. Tall white mansions is because the slave owners used to live in big tall mansions and the black fellas in little shacks . Watch gone with the wind (E o vento levou) ai vc vai entender a letra.
picolodaemao3 They still had it better than where they came from. They were slaves when we bought them, from their own people! They were rounded up, captured and crammed into small holding rooms,w/o room to even lay down to sleep, until we came to get them. They should be thanking us for giving them the chance for a better life years down the road! Makes me sick at how so many white people think they owe them something! BS!
Steven, you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss... watch this and will bet you will gain a whole new view and respect: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wOwblaKmyVw.html
If you're going to do acoustical (but not unPlugged) might as well be at Carnegie Hall (or busking outside...)... We won't get into the Robber Barons: Carnegie, Rockefeller, etc were... That would be at Johnstown, PA flood area... Perhaps renewed meaning with BLM, from a Southern town/county, who's slave mansion logo is just now coming under review, and ceded from the other part of the 10x10mile diamond at the Potomac River. Best known, perhaps, for the Cemetery...
Great song to remind us of all the hate everywhere still-Viet Nam was only the beginning- Columbine, 9-11, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Charleston 9 and last but not least- We are Orlando. we've certainly broadened our prejudice. Too much hate already.
Well i heard ole Neil, sing about her, well i heard ole Neil put her down, Well i hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around anyhow!
Again, Ronnie was wearing a Neil shirt singing Sweet Home. They teased each other. And fuck what Rosington or Powell said. Ronnie is dead. And Powell. Think I'll believe Neil.
mat mazy From what I heard Ronnie and Neil were actually quite close. There's many articles saying the song "Sweet Home Alabama" is actually a sarcastic stab at southern pride not a song representing Alabama. Ronnie actually had said Skynard was very inspired by Neil in many ways.
Should be "Jewish Man" seems to me. Oh I forgot...no "good book for them"...right up there with Italians of oh so not Roman Catholic faith but oh so unorthodox Orthodoxx'ing
