Not only is Norah one of the best singers on the planet she has exquisite song taste.
True
Neil Young's mastery of the guitar is astounding producing hugely satisfying music.
Wait...what?
Hey, what about Nora ?
@@pegsutton8438 My head was stuck my arse that day
I've been a Neil Young fan all my life. I'm 68 years old. Norah Jones is a lot like Neil, she carved out a niche for herself and stays true to it.
Absolute fact!
Love em both! 👌

Two legends.
I’m 60. First album bought: Harvest. Nora makes the best, better!
I’m 76 years young and loving this rendition of this classic tune. Been down by this river with Neil many times and Norah makes it so sweet. Timeless…
Damn, she's got such a sultry voice. I could listen to Norah all day long. For her to cover Uncle Neil is a great tribute. Having him just hang bang and let her lead the performance is so "Neil" of him. That's why he's such a badass. He's the rough in a diamond!
Well said! I love them both. Her voice is inspiring!
totally agree!
It's amazing to see that a rock'n roll star like Neil Young can be so trully, an excelent companion, on stage, to a young rock performer and composer as the adorable Norah Jones.
The greatness of Neil Young shines here. Comes out, plays awesome guitar, and then sings backing vocals on one of his greatest songs!
She never blows a cover. Always brings something. Amazing talent.
This is how a gentleman accompanies a young lady he doesnt try to up stage her nora and Neil. Some of the best
hes so humble great duo for a great song
A nugget of gold(rush). Thankyou youtube.
What a great performance! Neil is so cool. Doesn't barge in and take over. Just lays down some of his amazing patented simple great guitar work in support. This is what music is all about right here. Wish the video was better, but the sound is awesome! Beautifully done!
Mad respect to Neil for that eloquent solo
Down here,in Brazil,up there in the States..WHEREVER YOU ARE Mr YOUNG....IT'S pure privilege to be allowed to listen to you. ALL HATS OFF 🎩🎩🎩🧢🧢🧢🎓🎓🎓🎓⛑⛑⛑
The genius that is Neil Young. Understated as always, so laid back. Seen him many times, never disappointed. The longevity of this man's eclectic career just is amazing.
If I could only take one video with me into the darkness I would choose this one. It is a gem of collaboration and an incredibly timeless song . Other stuff may be fantastic but nothing reaches the heights achieved in this simple arrangement.. Thank you Neil and Norah and the girls in the band. Pure, pure bliss
As a teen I thought that album was one of the best there ever was. Still is. And what a great job of it Norah & her band did with him. They kept up!
I have not yet seen it, but because of your commentary I will.
The great thing that all aspiring guitarists should learn from Neil is that the gaps between the notes are as important as the notes he plays.
Best solo I think I've heard from Neil.
Neil's playing is seldom showcased, and he's a credit to Canada, and the world. Norah is so natural, unforced, fine musician without any bullshit. This jam is worthy of the Grateful Dead on their best night.
Neil is the most unpretentious guy and wears it well. I don't think he has ever given a fuck about how he looks or dresses. He's got the talent and plenty of fans. I love to listen to him.
I’d give anything to be that old guy with the hat who strolled on to solo and do backing vocals for the gorgeous and multitalented Norah Jones! Lucky old bastard😁👍👍
Nice one 😂😂😂😂
I'm sorry if it's wrong, but I'm flat out, stoned cold in love with Norah. I've loved Neil since 1969, so awesome.
Totally amazing a very good vocal to an awesome song with Neil Young playing lead guitar that’s music !
WOW
Please don't even talk about the video. It's about the music, the beautiful interaction between a legend and a soon to be legend. Norah has such incredible respect for those who came before. I love watching her play with the stars of the industry. She is beautiful in so many ways and Neil was better than ever. This is a classic. Thank you for posting!
Bad video, bad audio, and I'm still digging this in 2020. Two of my all time greatest artists. Plus their very talented and beautiful band.Neil was such a gentleman here. Plus the whole concert is all about the kids. Yup. Still here.
Thankyou Neil for decades of great tunes and times. Speechless.
A legend walks on stage and everyone knows it. What a great song.
Well, the Bridge School got a double blessing ❗️I am glad someone could share their handcam with us. Neil was understated and mesmerizing
Wow! NJ sings and plays beautifully. And NY rips that little guitar. Gifted people like that sharing their gifts are a true blessing for everyone who is fortunate enough to share it. Namaste
It's amazing how fast 8 minutes goes by because of that groove in Down By The River... magic.
This will be a memory forever for Nora to play with one of The Greats!!
I love how Norah Jones is the daughter of an absolute legend, so all the other absolute legends like to perform with her, but then she is so brilliant that they are all really happy to do it.
Ridiculous. They want to perform with Nora because of her amazing voice that is comparable to none. Ravi's "Music" is nothing short of sounds I might pick my nose to.
Unselfish greatness .... his guitar singing and just supporting Norah, indeed our legend Neil Young
There he is, the man himself, the father of grunge, Mr. Neil Young!
Norah's voice is perfect for this song. Love it!
She’s got an amazing voice!
Incredible to see the 2 natural, eclectic, Virtuoso's of our times. Bravo! Bella, Bella!
Norah Jones is great but Neil Young is a master of music. Great video! Gave me, an old fogey, chills.
JAMMIN OUT NEIL!!! PRICELESS CLASSIC NY SOLO!!! I'm as humbled as I am inspired! NJ was totally into it!
Norah could sing the phone book and it would sound sultry and amazing. Neil's solo was great.
When Neil Young comes on stage with anybody, he blows them all away. Nobody can compete with his dynamic guitar or voice, period!
Just ask Bruce and Clarance!
I watch this performance now and think how easy it is to just listen to their guitars sing to each-other and wow just love
Even though his microphone not working, Neil is singing back ups, what a musician! To allow Nora to sign the tune to her audience, incredible.....
WOAH..... just awesome! Of course to listen to Neil but Norah I can listen to all night long! Nice soul and a legend in her own time now! What a treat! Thanks for the video!!!!!
So happy I HAPPENED upon this video, all this quarantining, has me all cooped up! I love Neil Young,and adore Norah Jones! Awesome!
Ditto
Every time I chance upon a Norah Jones video I fall in love again. What an exquisite artist.
Beautiful
Old Guitar play's are seasoned... like a good wine... it spills out from them..
You know you've made it when Neil joins you on stage.
dpforth : He should have made it to his wife’s death bed instead of leaving her for Darryl Hannah.
@@roseblake5803
Those without sin,cast the
first stone.
Neil as a backup singer on Down By The River... I love it!
A great moment of music. Nora Jones is a amazing singer and Neil Young a extraordinary guitarist. Thanks
Neil Young Fan . Been revisiting this version for a few years. Love her interpretation. Awesome that I feel his writing intended 3 decades later. Well done.
Neil Young steps in and adds what only the creator can. He makes it come alive!
such is life
The man is just great and Norah Jones is wonderful ... a surprisingly amazing blend!
What can I say, Neil Young, Consumate artist, song writer, guitar player, harmonica player player, has stood the test of time, for me in my humble opinion, one of the best artists of all times, in all genres o0f music
Me too! Pure genius in his "Mynah Adagios for Hyperbole"... and the brilliant "Canadian Funk Out for Hippies in a Three Piece Suit" vol 1 with Rick James.
I'm right there with you Bruce. Easily my favorite, bar none!
Agreed. a transcendent, once in a lifetime talent is mr young.
Bruce Margot a god
And you would be right.
Just an amazing version.
I heard about this sort of thing a while ago, but honestly, I never thought it was real. I thought these charity concerts were just rumours. Goes to show the true quality of Mr's Jones.
But this. Not only do you have a surprise guest whose song your covering, but a spot of musical microphone which is essentially Young saying to Norah "No, you got to finish the vocal, Norah, cause your owning it" Which goes to show the quality of that legend.
Yeah its more than real Neil and his wife helped to start this school to provide childeren with disabilities opportunities to learn and develope life skills. Pretty awesome.
@@DanGBow1 He appears to be a really cool guy, Dan. I regret at this point not knowing his music better. I only know of a few of his songs and most of that is through Jones unique musical perspective. To me, she's a bit like a window into many worlds that otherwise I may never have been "privy" to. Some day, and I hope that day is soon, I will need to "step through" that window while also keeping that window very much in sight [because I do love it so] so that I can better experience some of those worlds.
Neil Young, is very much one OF those worlds.
That was a pretty mystical guitar break by Niel. Great music thanks.
Saw this concert at the Bridge School Benefit #28. Missing this benefit concert...Fabulous concert by the way! OMGosh! Went two nights in a row this year. Happy for him he's moved on, sorry for the rest of us out there! giggle...
I love how he gave the bass player a little bump at the end - and then tipped his hat. What a guy. So sad he lost his home in the fire.
Regis ah he can afford another !! not like hell struggle
Regis :It’s more sad that his wife died right after he left her knowing she had cancer. I used to love Neil , not so much anymore.
Excellent version! Thanks Nora Jones!!💙
She sings so good and he's just great
Neil's guitar work undiminished as acoustic on this song.....plays and listens well with others! TY for posting this.
Love this collaboration 🎶
I almost want to cry how amazing it is when they're playing together
Saw Neil Young in concert a couple years ago, best concert ever, would have been an all nighter if he wasn't kicked off the stage. The man would not stop playing, could tell how much he loved his music. He got fined for playing beyond the time frame but he didn't care, he was angry that he was stopped. Have loved his music since he began his career, can't beat that guitar sound.
He sang rocking in the free world for about 3 days at Glastonbury! haha
Classic. Where was that?
Classics of our time, just great!
Norah and Neil, such a beautiful thing.
They don't make 'em like Neil anymore! Long may he run!
Neil Young is a great human being and one of my fave singer, songwriters,musicians !!
that was my dads birthday thank you Neil. Please forgive the recorder. But I got to see this and it was if I was there. thank you for the music, Neil.
Love then man, since the beginning.
It is so great seeing Nora singing a classic like this. Such a good voice mixed with a great song.
Two super talents and great people. Young and Old but the same spirit. Thats what makes America truly great.
It was at the bridge school concert. Last one held in 2016. I was there for this. ALWAYS an incredible show. Heart breaking that this yearly concert has come to an end!
Watched and listened 1000 times….loved it 1001 times 🥰
magnifique version acoustique. Quel talent Norah et Neil, merci et bravo
I love how Nora barely took her eyes off Neil's hands throughout his entire solo. Can't say I would have either.
Awesome. I love how he lets her have the song.
I love how at 1:52 its like Miss Norah Jones has perfect sense of where this camera is shooting from and spots herself perfectly at just the right time to be in the shot with her and Neil....such a perfectly captured moment and I myself am grateful for this footage and for both of these artists individually...this moment of them sharing the stage is simply inspirational....I love Mr. Young's solo...that's how u solo to a song that u urself wrote years and years ago...truly a showcase of his talent and individuality...thank you and I hope everyone enjoys as much as I do watching this ! 😁 Peace and love from Louisville, KY, USA
She knew this was probably only going to happen once.
jesus ,This is outstanding !!!
My all-time faorite tune from when I heard its first recording ca. 1970. Brings tears....
I probably listened to "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" more than any other album ever, and this song was its cornerstone. And like - Norah Jones wasn't even born at the time! What a treat to come across this video! Thanks for posting.
I agree, I wore that sucker out. Still have the original vinyl. I cannot count the times I have seen Neil Young live. Solo, International Harvesters with Merle Haggard (countrified version of this song is awesome). CSN&Y (he made those guys look like rookies) except Stills whose talent has always been unappreciated.
Then again, how do you compete with the true genius of Neil Young. And, of course saw him many times with Crazy Horse. His best concerts have always been with them IMHO.
Love Norah not just for her beautiful voice, but because she is all about the music. She is one of the few (along with John Mayer, Derrick Trucks, Warren Haynes) that will carry our generation of music into the next. Beyond great.
Somehow Neil made a commitment to himself when he was young (good pun) that he would carry his spirit in his music and give it as freely as he could for as long as he could. What a job and what a life we have all shared with him. Thank you Neil and thank you Norah.
Freely? Have you seen Neil Young ticket prices lately?

@@thornjim It cost lot O money to put on a concert, especially if you pay the musicians and the road crew well!
my eyes are on fire, but my ears are soothed.
Such gorgeous intimate soulful playing by Neil Young
I had this playing while I was doing some other work, didn't see the wobbly camera. Loved it.
One of the Best perfect sound solos! One of the in this! Neil Young!
Amazing talent; such a wonderful amazing thing! Thank you!
Mmmmm... Norah Jones singing Neil Young... My heart be still.
Love this - you have to FEEL this! 💖
That was nice of them to keep playing through the apparent earthquake.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My mind hey hey R&R can never die.
unbelievable, this is my new favorite song!
It does not get much better than this
Nora is adorable...and SOOOOO TALENTED....that old guy next to her too....lol
What a fantastic version...only 2nd to Neil's original because I heard it first time around.Hope they do more together!!!
This was great!!. Neil is such a perfect gentlemen. I noticed he did not upstage the girl. Instead he sang as a background singer. His guitar solo was legendary.
Mary Gray he might be a gentleman, but I'm almost positive that's not what influenced his decision. He's an artist first and foremost, so whatever choices he made on stage were in service of making the performance the best, to his ears and eyes.
Would you have said the same thing about if it were a man he was playing with? If not, this is an oddly sexist remark.
WTF Kate. This is about music. Take your feminist head out of your ass.
Mary Gray upstage the girl? That's Norah Jones she's not just a girl. She's 9 time Grammy Award winning 😂
his comment struck me the same way, Kate B. And Im an old man who has recently had his fill off sexist pigs.
So good to find this on UA-cam. I was at that concert. It was my favorite performance of the evening.
This is one of my all time favorite songs so all I can say is MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
Wow beautiful x
This is great. Look at her watching his every move during the solo guitar! Just soaking it up!
There's a technical aspect to it, watching his notes to be able to accompany with chords that enhance. There's work involved and she showed the talent she has, not just another pretty face.
