Pretenders, Neil Young perform "My City Was Gone" at the 2005 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

ABSOLUTELY! MIND BLOWING! NOW, IF THIS AIN'T rockin' in the free world, nothing is! Rock on Cleveland! Rock on Canada !🇨🇦 😎 👌🇨🇦 🍁

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 I’ve seen it with the Dylan 50th, Paul McCartney in London. *Sometimes in CSNY* and early in Crazy Horse tours, but at the end is iffy. REM @ Bridge school, Pearl Jam and that’s kinda it. I’m guessing a few more I don’t know about, but it’s rare. I’ve seen him 6 times. 2 with Crazy Horse, I acoustic, 1 nameless band and once in ~7000 seater where he played for 4 hours just alternating between electric, acoustic, piano or organ. He was all alone. He COMMANDED AND DEMANDED attention. He was just being Neil, but man, he was otherworldly.

That s'. True. .My. Amigo .

This Dude has played with quite a few musicians.... total respect for Music, not just the band

So true!

It’s fun to play 👍🏻

Originally it was just a doodle on bass to warm up on.

yeah...every time Rush started his show...that bass lick started ....hot stuff.

Recorded by the mighty Tony Butler of Big Country!

She still is!!

You know it. Real rock& roll !!

uh...was that Eric Clapton?

no couldnt be.... but just kinda looks like him

@@jonathanhurley4055 You know it's Louis Armstrong, don't you?

@@jonathanhurley4055 Can’t there at least be one? one? All Starr jam with out Clappy ?

Every time I hear this song I want to order a large deluxe from Luigis. I'm a U-Akron allumni.

Berea

I am with you all the way

He's a Scorpio. He's high voltage! 👍

And, still we're gone - ah-O-Ohio! Never forget Kent State, eh? Thanks Chrissy!

a Canadian anthem too !!! "eh oh way to go Toronto..." it used to be SUCH a great city... but now everything that mattered is being rapidly replaced by condo buildings. AND there's the province too! we've got the biggest a**hole at the helm these days. he tried to sell off an environmentally super important area called 'the greenbelt' to his rich friends. (public pressure forced him to back down, but not until after his cronies got a sizable chunk to build their huge hideous houses on...) PLUS he messed with our health care system... "eh oh way to go Ontario..." I ❤ Chrissie..!!! and I ❤ Neil..!!! (for those who don't know - Neil lived in Toronto, Ontario in Canada when his music first began to find its legions of loyal fans...)

As did the equally cool Suzi Quattro.

Crissie never need the the whole "Madonnaish" image cause she was the real deal. No thong required!

Neil is fricken KILLING IT!! DAMN GOOD! Had he sang and he should have,it would have been pure gold.

Saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse in May. Phenomenal show. Seeing The Pretenders in July. Can’t wait!

Yeah me too.. Like I say above, this is what it is all about. Collaboration is much more fun, and it looks like Young and Hyde would agree

Yes he does !

I remember thinking the same when their first 3 tours. Impressive.

I agree and even in her 70s she's hot as hell, I love women rockers that are attractive but have that tough quality about them! She Baaaaadd!

Is that an early version of a James Trussart "steelcaster"?

That was great!

Gee.. I wonder who you're referring to lol

@@rayjohnson2387 Yes...😂😂 HE played in a 'BAND'...

No...he's been wearing a hat ever since this performance.

ridicolous ? L.O.L.

Neil is so Canadian.. he became an American citizen!

"And welcome to the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies."

Chrissie was always a liberal in her political viewpoint, however her father was a conservative and loved the Rush Limbaugh radio program. Out of respect for her father she allowed the Rush Limbaugh program to use her music as its opening theme.

@@michaelrains2268 Yes, I heard a clip of Rush last week on a memorial retrospective show telling that story. Even though they could not be more different, he had nothing but kind things to say about Chrissy Hynde. Apparently, in spite of her political beliefs, she was a big defender of Rush's free speech rights.

@@wareagle4789 Defender of free speech rights is correct. She stated that when she was criticized for this decision she asked her critics if they planned to pay her daughter's tuition and all her other bills. Rush was grateful and she was well paid for many years.

Agreed.

It’s such a great album, full of raw verve but also high sophistication. Nothing has ever topped it for me.

He’s probably the most text book guitar player of all time but on electric especially whatever Neil feels is what comes out of the guitar, it’s his Crazy Horse signature but definitely not “sloppy” you just have to understand his style it’s different from anyone else. Go listen to Cortez the Killer, studio for openers. And ya, you hit a nerve! 😹

Neil is a musical whirling dervish ....

@@ttomgast1769 Ehh You calling Neil a Muslim ? Not bloody likely pal! Try again. 🤯

@@ttomgast1769 Clearly you don’t know what a dervish is.

Dirty joy, haha! Love that.

But my parents were gone

Yes, just rub it in! (-:

Always loved Neil's crazy leads and solos. Anyone that says he is terrible guitar player just doesn't know. He is just a rocker.

The only thing Rush Limbaugh ever gave anyone was a headful of knowledge as smart as potato salad and herpes.

@@jasonmoreland8155 The world is a much, much better place without Limbaugh in it.

@@LoudounDemocrat We now got the Travis and Sexton show which is way better then Rush's show ever was.

@@dvferyance Never heard of them. Don’t listen to call conservative trash radio. Congrats on your obvious high standards. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@LoudounDemocrat Well if you never heard of them then how can you judge them as trash? Your so pre judgmental. I think your standards has some work to do no doubt.

Burn in Hell , Rush

@@steveryan1746 beware of karma...👀

I don't know why you would. They hated that now dead bag of shit.

@@PIGMAN800 cool maybe someone hates you when your dead. Maybe many

Idiot. ultimateclassicrock.com/rush-rush-limbaugh/ In 1999, Chrissie Hynde complained about his use of the Pretenders hit, 'My City Was Gone' as his theme song. However, Hynde allowed Limbaugh to play the song in exchange for a $100,000 donation to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and vocal support against chemical testing on animals.

@@TomBacchus She is a sell out. She sold out. The song is more popular because of Rush. If not where would it be I wonder?

@@tonyquinn22 You seem to misunderstand the basics of economics. She forced Blimbaugh to pay for a song he had no right to use. There's a whole world out there that doesn't bootlick Rethug grifters bragging about thievery.

@@tonyquinn22 LMAO. Maybe his limited audience never heard of the song but millions and millions world wide have known of it for decades.

@@tonyquinn22 bs it was a great song before he ever got a hold of it

I think that's actually Al Clapton, Eric's cousin.

@@chaxpress Adam Seymour. former Katydids band. one of the best players to come thru her band in recent years. tears it up.

Yes. Fabulous drummer.

Martin is one my favorite rock-n-roll drummers along with Phil Rudd and Ringo Starr! They have that swing and that’s the way it’s done ladies and gentlemen.

Wouldn't say they were my favorite.... not sure where they would even place, 30-50,nonetheless great song. Love it.

Saw her at Mass MoCA last summer! Paid for the VIP section and it was well worth it. I was 10 ft from the stage and she's still rocks 👍

Burn in Hell, Rush

@@steveryan1746 You might want to delete that. For your own sake.

Oh BS, what are you gonna do about it , Mister BIG BIG TOUGH GUY , YOU ARE A KEYBOARD WARRIOR
