- Neil Young, Willie Nelson and Crazy Horse perform "All Along the Watchtower" live at the Farm Aid concert in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 18, 1994. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

it has always amazed me how Neil Young can instantly go from grunge rock, to the sweetest slow ballads without missing a step...He is truly one of the most unique musicians of all time....
Me 2
agreed !!!!!
that's why my bandmates and I call him 1 note Neil. amazing switch from hard to soft .
Talent
John, just so good, better than good in fact and accompanied by a bunch of top pros, simply stunning
I was at this concert. Started in the nosebleed section of The Dome. By the time The Horse cranked the opening song, Country Home, I was 4 rows from the front!
Absolutely the best version ever performed of this song. Neil Young's incredible energy and guitar wizardry backed up by an amazing bass player sends you soaring into the stratosphere.
Serious props to the sound guy for mixing this so you can hear Willie’s guitar alongside Old Black!
@@thomascassidy2724 love the guy but he adds nothing here. He's a country boy not a rocker , and that's fine !
Stumbled across this purely by accident and thought I'd give it a listen.......there are no words that can do this justice. Absolutely first class and Neil Young who I have always been a massive fan of just nails this. Fantastic musicianship throughout and everyone's input is heard loud and clear but anyone who down voted this needs immediate psychiatric assessment. Marvellous rendition and outstanding effort from all.
I concur with your conclusion!
the real deal
@Realneilyoung hoping that you never stop writing and performing great music. Sir from Inverness Scotland I salute you. I've been a fan of yours since I was 12 years old and still love your music! God bless you...the best thing to come out of Canada since moose...I love moose! Xx
Had a terrible night, the World fell into pieces, thanks gentlemen for pulling me out of the groundless pond of anger and despair
Long live Neil and Willie Nelson, two of the best performers of our time.
“Two riders were approaching.” Incredible.
Dylan, Jimi, Neil.....doesn't matter which version you prefer, this should be required viewing for all current so called rockers. The song is captivating from start to finish. Simply amazing !
Werner Lämmerhirt played the best version
the Grateful Dead played this often in the late 80's & did it nicely too.
Yup! Doesn't get much better.
Don't forget to mention Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's studio version. Frank's vocal the most like Jimi's than anyone else.
Hendrix version is tops!
I have a playlist of over 50 versions/covers of ‘All along the Watchtower” so am always looking to add - but this is amazing - watch Willie Nelson’s fingerwork throughout - outstanding.
Willie was definitely focusing, trying to figure out where Neil was going next
Neil Young is a freaking genius. Pretty cool seeing Willie Nelson there. You guys rock!
Neil Young never disappoints. This is an inspired version and one of the best.
Thumbs up who's listening to this masterpiece in 2022!! C'mon brothers and sisters!
I've been listening 🎶 😌 to Neil Young for nearly 50yrs and he is all music 🎶 and he really jams! I never get tired of listening 🎶 to his music 🎶 🎵. He's a great writer 👏 .
stop showing your age heheh im 57 and ive been listenin to him frmo knee highg to a grasshopper lol
Agreed. I listen to him or,someone covering him, every night.
Two, riders were approaching, and the wind , began to howl.🎸🎤🎹🎼😉✌️💯 Thank you very much! Robert Alan Zimmerman AKA Bob Dylan!😎✌️❤️💯🎶
I get goosebumps every time I hear Neil Young perform this song. Gives this song a whole new life. Beautiful
Have listened to Neil Young by himself on in a group since Buffalo Springfield and the song Mr. Soul. There is nobody like him. The amount of music he has created is staggering. All I say is, thank you so much!
I have seen Neil literally a dozen times live over the years, with CSN, Prairie Wind, the awesome rock opera Greendale... but when he is with his hand picked back up band of 40 plus years, Crazy Horse, you can feel that Neil is with family, and he becomes totally comfortable and truly lets his muse take over.
Which is why his best songs and most known hits decade after decade after decade is with his homies.
Who needs Spotify? Love Neil Young!
never tire of any version of Neil playing this Dylan classic
He just puts his whole soul and body into his songs. Love it.
That's right! This is real!!! Heart and soul; raw and dirty - what rock and roll should be all about.
Neil, Bob, Willie. Still with us and several cuts above the rest.
Where have all the good times gone?.....
This music will never die. It may retreat to the shadows at times but is always ready to start again. Thank goodness.
That’s because he’s a musical storyteller
Relevant today 29 August 2021 remember this
And God bless you for tellin' this. God bless you.
I have no faith. Ask any six-year-old their favorite music. Ask any 15 year old, really. Different age. Men have been saying this since the dawn of time. youth is wasted on the young. Remember it?
Spectacular. The best rendition ever of this song. Neil Yong is a genius. And to think it was recorded live, to boot.
live and free! for charity! respect
Neil young helped me get over my fear of dancing in public
If Neil can do that and get away with it.....
Man, you're funny🍺🍺🍺
I expect his 7th grade dance date had diamond shoes since that was his thing- sometimes his nose almost touches the dance floor.
😂
Dance baby, just dance! It feels so good!
Epic. Neil Young has the most epic electric guitar tone I've ever heard. This performance here is studio-take quality.
I agree, not overdriven to the ridiculous levels metal players use, just enough to give it that gritty kick it needs
Try kashmir celebration day for bbfs
Steven Wilson has similar live tone they put distrtion pedals before delay and reverb
And he's damn good on the acoustic guitar too plus the harmonica
Not a music expert, and before I write my thoughts on this video, let it be known. I seen Willie and Family live 3 times, I seen Neil and Crazy horse twice, would have been 3 times, but he got sick and had to cancel his show at the St Paul Civic Center because he was sick, and had to stay at a local hospital. All Along the Watch Tower by Hendrix has been my number 1 song since I first heard it in 76. And I also cry everytime I watch Neil close out the Canadian olympics. If I put the 4 or 5 greatest singers of all time, on a stage with who I feel are the 4 or 5 greatest guitarists of all time. Then put Neil in the mix for that, I will walk away remember Neil just for his presence and passion alone. Which brings me to the song of Green Grass and High Tides. When I hear that song, I think of Hendrix, Joplin, Elvis, Sinatra, and yes, Neil Peart. However, I also think of Young being on that stage commanding the whole damn thing, because that is what Neil did without even trying, He just commanded the whole damn stage. Thank you Neil Young for letting me be a part of your life, even though it was only from a distance.
Brilliant is the understatement of the century. The man's a living legend.
Respect Mr Young👊👍👏
Unfortunately can not do Southern belle
NEIL YOUNG & HIS MUSIC: HAS MY GOLDEN YOUTH TIED UP IN SILVER WRAPPING WITH A RUBY -COLOURED BOW.
this is the real deal
Neil is having fun ... i like watching willie laugh in the background thanks for the vid
willie provides the wisdom.
Me too, I'm in my 6th decade. This is the ROCK we had then
it's still here, viable & relevant as ever, Much like; Last trip to Tulsa, 5th decade on & still garden fresh in our collective existence
And that rock is still with us now, 2020 going into 2021! Lovin it!
Bob Dylan truly deserved a Nobel prize for an unbelievable library of great songs. Thank you Neil for taking the song to another level. Both Bob and Neil are getting on in years. We need the great rockers to survive Coronavirus, and lead mankind to a brighter day. RIP Alan Merrill. Keep on rockin' wherever you may go.
It's sad, but no one can ever match Bob or Neil. Some treasures never appear again, once they're gone that's it.
Much more so than that fraud Bob Dylan
This will be watched and enjoyed 100 years from now.
I love how Neil can completely and utterly own this song when he didn't write it. Jamtastic.
Neil showed me how to just be myself don't need to be a widdler being real is soo much better than tryin to be the next yngwie Steve via an all other pretentious widdlers soz if I offend anyone 😋
Hendrix, right ? ;-)
@@dabble778,
Bob Dylan
@@PurpleObscuration yeah dylan wrote it but even he later said jimis version is THE watchtower, and whenever he plays it he’s paying tribute to jimi
Just discovered this version now. Always thought Jimi's was the best, this one is simply amazing. These boys rock
I love how so many musicians share this wonderful song. Young knocks it out of the park, look at the energy he has! That’s what i’m talking about
A song you never want to end...
And Willie just stands there and strums his beat up, hole growing bigger every year guitar. Pure class as always.
Neil Young is the best of all performers!
We can see that Neil Young is totally hypnotized during this song.......
One of the very best songs ever written. And this performance.... Wow. Neil really understands the lyrics
Never seen Neil rock this hard, but I have to say he really nailed it! Great cover!
Neil Young is a Rock God,Canadian Rock God
i love u
Rock God? Canadian God?? ...How about just God?!! Man, I though I'd discovered perfection in David Gilmour. But there's perfection, ...and then there's also mind-blowing perfection.
The Buckin Bronco , Neil Young.....And 420 Willie .....True Legends.......
I used to love this man. Now, I am 63 and i love him cause he made my soul open. French woman.
I absolutely love Neil Young he lives and breathes music and thank God for Gibson guitars I have been listening to Neil Young since I was 12 or 13 I was born August 10th 1964 my son Jacob who is born August 5th 1985 also respects Neil Young he has been listening to Neil Young before he was even born here it is 2024 and there's so much more keep on rockin in the Free world Neil we love you! You are truly blessed! You are a musical genius still rocking with a new album in 2024 rock on Neil!!!😊. ❤️🙏❤️🎶🌍✌️💯👍❤❤❤
@Realneilyoung well! Fantastic! If this is the real you? If it isn't then tell Neal he's freaking awesome! 💗💗💗
Watching this video, I’m filled with joy & smiling. Music is getting me through quarantine.
Me too. I've discovered great music like this and great writers like Chris Hedges who I would never have known.
Amen
Could you imagine a world out with proper rock stars like Neil young , Keith and joe Walsh what a shame
Seen Willie, seen Neil, but together they are most awesome!
That's Willie being Willie and Neil being Neil. It's not the first time that Willie stood in one place.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse still rocking in 2019 Crazy Horse keeping Neil young.
Unmistakably Neil Young. So unique.
This was a great performance! Neil Young is incredible!
Glad u enjoyed it !!
He knows how to rock the house.
I put this yt performance down as one of his best
Goosebumps@
I like the rock progressif, blues, harmonica, country, rythme and blues, rock'n'roll, jazz, bluegrass, classic, many many many MUSIQUES...... I LIKE NEIL YOUNG AND BOB DYLAN PATTI SMITH, DIRE STRAITS, JOAN BAEZ etc etc
Incredibly talented. Bet there’s never been a dull moment when these legendary guys get together, Damn I wish I was there, what a show!!
Trust Neil Young to do the heaviest ever version.
Neil has been a big part of my life since 1976, he is the very essence of music.
How can you not love the man: he names his band Crazy Horse, and like me he's a life long fan of Hank.B. Marvin of The Shadows ie. "From Hank To Hendrix."
How great can old rockers be! This is best version of this song. May the genius of Neil Young never end. Nothing today equals what was. I play these great music videos and I mean great music , for my guitar playing granddaughter. Hoping she will rock out someday.
Something tells me neil really digs music .
"two riders were approaching"......you go Neil.
Unreal, spark up a Willie Nelson and turn the old volume knob up
Neil spans the decades (no pun intended)! Nice cover.
...oh my goodnes...simply the best...so happy having seen him last year at Ziggo Dome...finally...Godfather of Rock...
The best performance ever of this song.
Beyond AWESOME !!! Willie's guitar playing is amazing and Neil's wild uninhibited playing gives me goosebumps
Plaudits for sure, just don’t look over what a fantastic composition this is. Cheers Mr Dylan
That's what you call real music !
Hvis jeg havde råd ville jeg ønske du kunne komme til Danmark o spille for min mand. Han er og altid været fan af dig.
❤❤❤❤. Hans kæle navn er Pjerrot. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you like rock, if you like Neil Young, you`re a good guy.
I grew up rocking with these guys back in the 70's and 80's ,
Yes, what you said.
@@davestratton453 as did myself and friends was an amazing time whenever we sat and partied to Neil.
Neil is a God
This song from good ol´Jimmi wanders from soul to soul ..on ..and on......
I took time out for a me day and veged out on a whole lot of Neil Young and Willie Nelson doing a lot of Farm Aid through the years , needless to say it's been a great day !!
@Realneilyoung Thank you for the shout-out out.this is Alice.Neil Young keep singing,I love your music. I have been listening to you since 1970 ! Just a couple of years ago, right !!!
Ol' Neil is shredding! Always did like the boy... he has a Heart of Gold. Yessereee! Aint that right Willie?
I'm glad Neil is working security. He makes the world a much better place, and he knows what rules to enforce -- justice, equality, humanity and, most importantly, taking care of our environment. He's a great musician and a great person. Crazy Horse is awesome too.
Thanks for the post.
I was wondering where he got that T shirt? Like your take on it much better. Well stated beachbum!
In Italian there is the saying "the older the wine, the better" and Uncle Neil is an excellent wine ... GREATNeil !!!
Great performance!let's not forget Willy doing his thing on the acoustic guitar!!🏰👍🏻👍🏻✌✌
I was just thinking, how great would it have been to Young and Kath jam together on stage. OMG
The look Willie Nelson was giving Neil Young there at the end . . . like, 'Wow.'
Hard to believe Crazy Horse isn’t in the hall of fame
Raw as rock and roll gets. Neil is truly an icon.
Thanks you tube you guys are the greatest. The music got rid of a loneliness that was consuming my soul. Adios firecracker!
This version rocks so hard !!!! !
Uncle Neil at his best.
I think everyone including the very best, respect Neil Young's talent. Living legend.
Impossible to beat this. Molina, Talbott, Poncho, Neil and Willie. F me, I miss those times. Spent many hours watching Neil do his thing on stage. I just called him the ogre, should have called him the architect.
Light years ahead of the old old days when you had 4 acoustic guitars all doing the same thing. A jam and a half. Looking for a leader 2020. Thank you Neil.
hes a damn rocker!! he just does his thing,cool as hell.Neil is of the old ways,he don't give a shit..you dont find this kind of talent anymore..
This jam makes me want to dance. Hell, any of Neils jams make me want to dance.
Who knew Willie could rock? Great rendition of a classic!
Willie rocking out. Right on!!!
I love the glance between Willie and his guitar player at 1:52. Like, whatever just go with what he's doing.
Neil sings the body electric - he lives every note
❤❤❤❤skide godt. Det røde tørklæde er smidt og serukativ på blusen
som passer på dig.
Hyldest her fra Danmark.
Vi kan sgu vi ældre. Du har altid sunget og spillet fra hjertet og musikken. Dit livsværk.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Neil wow just pumps me up and that ant easy at 62 yaaaaaa you all rock bad yaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay but why is no-one talking about Willie's leads? That ol trigger cuts right through brilliantly. What an amazing line up.
Best song I ever heard
@@HPERDRIEL Hendrix made Bob Dylan song his own but then came Mr. Young, Crazy Horse and Willie. Now my favorite version.
Love it!! 25 years later...still relevant...
Watchtower is one of THE songs.
Wow! In 1979 I was privileged to see Neil and Crazy Horse live in Minneapolis. History is made! This song is a classic that ALL the great rockers have performed! Neil's version is pure passion!
