Hear, here! Neil is a brother, a teacher, a spirit guide to the source. His music, like none other, trancends any limitation, knows no boundry, for it comes from the soul. Alive, on fire, relentless, with truth. It does what it is supposed to do. Always. Thanks, David Briggs, for the ride. This healing magic to all. This is an exceptional post, with real information, and a special quick peek behind the curtains, for which I am grateful. Peace and much love to you, and keep on truckin
I was never a fan as a kid, I cut my own trail. But all these years later I've come to admire the man's talent and fearless creativity, and realised in the end we walked in the same forest. I too record live off the floor with no click track amd minimal production and am soul sickened by what "live" music has become with pitch correction and lip syncing 🙄
Neil's first solo album was still brilliant no matter what anyone says. He's made some great ones since then but I keep on going back to that one for inspiration.
Thank you for this insightful video. This is the first real mention of The Rockets I've heard from anyone on UA-cam. I know and played a duo with Bobby Notkoff. I first met him when he was playing with The Family Lotus band in Santa Fe. He came to Colorado shortly after that and we began playing together. His violin (not fiddle) was superb. He was a virtuoso who played with the New York Philharmonic as a teen. My greatest memory of him was his solo everytime we played JJ Cale's "Magnolia." I'd sit back and play that Cmaj7 Fmaj7 over and over and let him improvise for as long as he wanted before coming back in with the vocals. It was hypnotic. Thank you so much for giving him a shout out. Love...
Thank you for doing this research. I've always wondered why there is a fine thread that connects me with Neil Young's music. You have strengthened that thread today. This was also a great video format. No sensationalism, unnecessary drama, just ' the fact's Ma'am'- kind of story. I look forward to more of your insightful research and videos. Cheers Don.
Thank you. I think that "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" is one of the greatest albums ever. I've been listening to it for more than fifty years. I never tire of it.
a few years back I got to see Nils Lofgren play a solo gig at a cafe in Bethlehem, PA (a fantastic show by the way). after the show he was signing autographs and talking with fans. I'm sure he was getting peppered with questions about Bruce and the E Street Band all night, but when I got a chance to talk to him, I had to ask "what was David Briggs like?". Nils said that Briggs was fiercely protective of his artists and he would do anything for them.
I’ve spent some time with Nils and can tell you for sure, David Briggs was one of his closest friends, they were housemates for some time in the early 1970s
Harvest and After the Gold Rush are still two of the finest albums I own. Seeing Pearl Jam playing Keep on Rockin' in a Free World with their hero on stage 😎 Thanks for the information, great video 👍
I'm sorry, but I love the first album. It's different, but I like the lonely introspective feel and the music sounds great. The only lemon on the record is the self indulgent and immature Last Trip To Tulsa. I've heard it on vinyl and CD and it sounds rich, full and mellow. I'll choose that over the newest "ragged glory" junk he's been pawning off on us in recent years any day. Very nice album.
Thank you sir for this, ya know, everyone I talk to about Neil Young is, they hate him or they Love him. Everyone who writes has a few stinkers along the way but, Neil's were few and far between. I WILL still listen to the self-titled album now and then and for me, Well, it intrigued me. Then " Everybody Knows This is Nowhere " came along and that to me was inspirational and his music made me feel as long as we kept our garage band simple and do this kind of stuff, we we're going to have fun and that, We Did!!! Our band's name was " BuckShot " and to this day, next to Neil, BuckShot's been my favorite. We wanted to sound like that 2nd album. I have ALL of Neil's recordings. One of the FEW GREATS. Thanks Neil and Thank you Rust For Glory. At 70, I listen to him and I'm a young teenager getting into garage bands and having the time of my life. Thanks again RFG, Doug, way up in Green Bay, WI.🎸🎹🎻🪕🥁✌
Pretty much every album from 1968 is overproduced, mixed badly, or just has plain shit songs on them, due to every producers, label, artist wanting to emulate _Sgt. Pepper_ but with Neil Young in 1968, we now have excellent quality live concerts from 1968-76 of those 1967-68 songs with just Neil on acoustic guitar, so we know how those songs were really meant to sound. _Neil Young_ the 1968 album is a really good album, though. It actually isn't _that_ overproduced, well the 1968 mix is, but the February 1969 remix isn't. Thank God that Neil never continued down this route, though, or his 1969-72 songs would have been buried in musical mush. "Cinnamon Girl" is easy to imagine being ruined if it had been arranged and overdubbed in the 1968 manner. Yeah, if _Neil Young_ (1968) had sold in _Harvest_ numbers, ie. mutli-millions of copies, then Neil would have probably stuck to that style, never met Briggs, never met Crazy Horse. He would have been like many of those artists who kept overproducing their records. But then, albums like _No Other_ by Gene Clark were like that, it flopped badly in 1974 but is considered - quite rightly - as a masterpiece, one of the great albums of all time. At the end of the day, it's best to keep music raw, as it is at it's core. There are exceptions, of course. _Dark Side of the Moon_ would not have been a great album if it had been all-acoustic, it would have been a cult classic like the other 1969-1972 Pink Floyd albums. Phil Spector! Those records sound amazing because he was a genius and knew when to correct himself or others (through the barrel of a gun!) and get a final polished diamond. But most artists and/or producers don't correct themselves and fuck up a piece of music. They or the artist fuck things up by trying to be like Spector, George Martin, Alan Parsons. Plug, play and party!
That story about the version of Helpless that never got recorded reminded me that, as an young recording engineer, I was caught a couple of times early on when a band would finish a song and, convinced it was a fantastic take, rush into the control room to hear it back. But I hadn't recorded it. Both times it was because they hadn't given any indication that were ready to record, and in one instance hadn't even started from the beginning of the song that they were now convinced was the perfect take. You can bet I was considered to be a jerk for the rest of the session though. And you can bet that from then on, I always dived for the record button whenever the drummer started counting in, even if I wasn't ready, or if the manager and the band's partners and dogs were wandering through the room, knocking over mic stands as they went. I never got caught again!
72 now and still playing,was eighteen,a radio mech in fleet air arm, Neil young so touched me,chopped in my twelve string for a yammmy fg 180 and bought harvest songbook and learnt most of the songs. Still love that raw sort of sound,natural sounding instruments with the minimum of processing, Niel the grandaddy of Grunge.never plays the celebrity game. Integrity indeed.thank you.
Well done RFG. And good luck with this whole project. I was doing a Neil Young set in the 70"s and 80's. I'm 71 now and my last gig was last autumn. Did ohio and cost of feedom.😂. Lots of Neil on my channel. Cheers 🍻
Emperor of Wyoming---David Briggs...I saw that Tour of the T shirt you are wearing. First time he played Like a Hurricane and with a big Fan on Stage while it played...also saw his Europeans Tour of 76 both with the Horse. Great insight here on NY.
The more I learn about Neil, the more I realize the role his father had in his career’s development. i.e. Neil is a story teller. The cold nights of North Ontario. The solitude of prairie highways. It’s all imbedded in his music and the loose ragged roots of the 🇨🇦 pop music scene. Which spawned the greatest rock ‘n’ roll grit…ever & anywhere.
Thank you for an excellent presentation. I've been a Neil fan since Buffalo Springfield, but didn't know much about David Briggs. Some amazing cats came out of the 60's. Its interesting how creative people find each other and sometimes paint that masterpiece.
AI will certainly give it a shot -- but the audience for live music will need to watch for this and reject it, less AI's attempts are to become all we have access to.
Wow, just randomly bumping into David Briggs hitchhiking is crazy! Neil has had some remarkable luck just accidentally "running into" people on the roads of LA! Music history was literally changed forever, he runs into Stephen Stills first and they go on to form Buffalo Springfield, then meets up with Briggs who became a gigantic influence. Crazy stuff!
Thank you very much for this, nicely presented! Greetings from Finland. Heart of gold is one of my favourite songs, so it is interesting to hear about Neils background.
David Briggs was the first producer I worked with in 1970 at Wally Heider's San Francisco. The artist was Nils Lofgren.. He knew his shit but he let me run the session anyway and didn't touch the board . I guess I passed the test.
He was a manboy, I was also. I was laying footers at 16. Had a paper route and a shoe shine kit at 12 and made a ton of money for kid. I had to work. My Father left.. Don't even remember the last time I had seen his face by age 8. I hated wearing my Brothers clothes from the year before. So I went to work. They thru myself and 3 other other students out of school on e the first day of sophomore year for having hair below our ear lobes. We stages a walk out and we, the four, were in control to get the rest of the students to get back in class. WE negotiated. It went well. I said see you later and never went back aside of a formal court hearing releasing me from school so I could make a living. My spare time wen into learning to play. Crazy adult childhood I had. My Mother always stood up for me and is still alive and well. I was born in 1958. This music was a part of my life. that's right Neil Young, NEVER let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
“Got it Briggs” Last Trip to Tulsa and I’ve Been Waiting For You are gems on 1968 Neil Young. What came next was spectacular and the formula for Neil’s success. Before there was portable music I would listen to Cowgirl in the Sand with headphones on the home stereo and then go running for an hour or so in a trance. Neil with Danny was mesmerizing!
Same here , down by the river and cowgirl in the sand with headphones turned up waaaay too loud. Walk down the street , smoke a joint and go home and blow my brains out with those 2 tunes
Neil Young always presents himself on stage as an unkept vagabond, at least by most other entertainers dress code standard. His tennis shoes, worn jeans and ever-present plaid lumber jack shirt represent perfectly the honesty and beauty of his songs. Long may you live Neil Young.
I love Young's albums. Saw him in N O mid 80's and I had to run out of there... the self indulgent guitar was so thick it actually made me want to vomit, absolutely no dynamic range in his playing. I can therefore appreciate the crucial importance of a producer's guiding hand to set limits on rampant talent. He was like a kid with his bedroom gorilla cranked for the first time. I get the catharsis of it for many fans. Neil was acting a bit of the punk, loud and long. Oh well. Such a straddller, balancing poignant delicate acoustic balladry with opposing belligerent rage. Tortured but able to express the agony and exstacy ...the trap we all occupy. Guess that's what strikes us about his genius. Great eye opening video.
Jack from ohio This guy is a wealth of search leads . Unfortunately , if you pick a major artist on your music app , you get the predictable . Take note of the names he has dropped . You may find that road less traveled ,
Neil Young is more my brothers age musician. Only 7 years different. But, I do like what I know of him. Me, I'm more in that vein, more an America, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Bread guy( more love sugar coated song, than raw without using curse words and pledges of foreverness in them). In other stuff, my peer group mostly near my age, liked early Aerosmith ( still using mandolins stuff), Bachman Turner Overdrive, Edgar Winter group.
Neil came to jam with us in Topanga at the VFW..I was talking to beautiful Paula..danger with amazing beauty not knowing that they were meeting..I walked away and left him without a drummer 1976..wonder if She's the one 'When You dance' A-l-o-h-a
Every once in a while the YT algorithm throws me a genuine gem. This is one of them. Neil Young is a major part of the soundtrack of my youth. Thanks!
Thank you!

“Are you that guy that produces Neil Young’s albums?”
David Briggs: “Only the best ones.”
He wasn’t wrong.
When I like to lay down and chill out to music one of my favour albums is After the gold rush and pink Floyd Dark side of the moon .
“All the Good ones”
Thanks for another Excellent Neil doc.
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (Neil Young and Crazy Horse) still remains as one of my favorite albums.
David deserves the props for sure. Great Neil albums those years.

@@charleshash4919 It's not difficult to miss what is missing.
It is almost as if Neil stumbled on his own George Martin...shaping his sound and helping him to become the artist we listed to so many years ago.

Thanks man!
I've known of Briggs because I'm a Neil Tragic
Neil sits slightly behind Dylan ahead of Springsteen, Lightfoot, Waits, Morrison & Mellencamp in
Thanks 👍 I've seen all my favorites except Neal. This certainly will give me a better understanding if it ever happens.
With that approach Briggs certainly wouldn't have got along with Walter Becker and Donald Fagan.
Great vid, really enjoyed it. Be Good or Be Gone, Fionn Regan.

That casual style suited him so well, I saw an onstage pic once where he also had on a brown leather vest, it was perfect and I was so envious.
Long may you run, Neil Young!
Hands down the loudest concert I've ever attended was Crazy Horse at the Omni in Atlanta March 3 1991!
just discovered your greatness. thanks for sharing
Great stuff! Hugely under appreciated. Love the quote from Waging Heavy Peace, "Life is a shit sandwich, Neil, eat or die." 😅😅😢
Very interesting… so much talent !
Everybody Knows is one of my all time favorite albums. Thank you for the story of how it was made.

I like that photo of Bill with his fingers over the glass...
Really cool story. Thanks!
Excellent video!!!
great video
Thank you!
And to think he would come out with a song like Cortez the Killer..... Always Rockin!
There should actually be a section in record stores labelled, "PSYCHEDELIC SHIT"
This NY stuff is brilliant - thanks
Wonderful…Thanks.
You guys just played up my way in VERY upstate NY, so I thought I'd check this out!
Reply to self: Thought this was someone else! I do enjoy your analysis of Neil.
Ahh yep we've never played in the US sadly! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you ........
Nice. Very informative.
Glad you liked it!
This was really well done and your delivery was great. So much shite on YT and most presenters think it’s all about them. Well done.
Thanks man!
Right on! Neil Young's the Best!!!
Hi Rick from Beriln, I'm in full agreement with you👍
Amazing vid. I love Neil
It’s so weird that I am now as old as Briggs was when he died. Time.
Honestly why do you start and stop your videos it's ridiculous get on with it lad
Awesome info and your shirt is rad
Thanks!
Far out, man! You're the king. Neil all the way.
Thank you 🕯️✨🎶🐝
Cool n breeze. Did it for me .❤
Very illuminating. I know Neil is a decent piano player, but was he writing songs on piano in those early home recordings and transposing to guitar?
I think if he wrote it on a piano, he recorded it with the piano, ie after the gold rush
Off-topic, but that Jaguar E type @6:11 is one of the most beautiful cars ever created....
Excellent
I think it's pretty obvious that the person who had the strongest influence on Neil Young was Bob Dylan.
Oh, that'll be a whole other video in itself 🙂

NY and Crazy Horse, pure rock quality - 'Weld' and 'Rust' just superb albums. 'Harvest Moon' his best song of all time for me anyway, that is!
Is there anything that can be purchased today that is simple and similar to that "green board ".
Not exactly but definitely there are simpler mixing consoles available and purposely analogue retro ones
Neil came to jam with us in Topanga at the VFW..I was talking to beautiful Paula..danger with amazing beauty not knowing that they were meeting..I walked away and left him without a drummer 1976..wonder if She's the one 'When You dance' A-l-o-h-a
....oh, to be Young again
Thank you. It's so nice when I'm fed something truly nutritious by the algorithm.
Thought you were going to say Rick James
nice!!
Love the Rockets
I love the first 20 years of Neil's music too much...after that i only love it much.
Young was grunge long before there was any
Are hippies early grunge then ? You could say they are I suppose .
@alanmeires just listen to his Rust never sleeps album then you'll get my point.
There's no such thing as Grunge.
Thank u :)
