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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
Steven, you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss... watch this and will bet you will gain a whole new view and respect: ua-cam.com/video/wOwblaKmyVw/v-deo.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
Still makes me weep.
Southern (Wo)Man.
My most favorite performance of Southern Man. Just one acoustic guitar and single voice. Nothing more is needed.
Means more to me then words could say. Thanks Neil
This song hits you hard.
wow! I cannot tell you how much this is to me. Emotions are real, true, honest. Thanks uncle Neil.
Haunting. I had a tear in my eye about 30 seconds into the song.
awesome
Brings back fond memories of another time. Being young and so HAPPY!

This song is relevant again. Charleston 9.
It was always relevant - 🤷🏻😐
What is that got do with a psycho white idiot?
Gives me tears and shivers down my spine.
look for better music lmfao
@@pawgrespecter5560 You’re on the video too
This song always ends up at the top of the playlist....
It's a musical masterpiece.
superb performance have been looking for an acoustic performance of southern man for ages
Same here!!
Gives me chills! Neil Young is fabulous!
Sing it, Neil, so good!
one of the most incredible songs written...
Loven it from a SOUTHERN town - Asheville, NC.
that’s not the south you moron, written from Madison, MS, the real south
@@pawgrespecter5560 My great great great grand daddy faught fer the rebel army. Don't tell me who's southern boy.
This song is a critique of the south and the racism from white people
@@ethansilva6371 who tf needs a canook bitching about “racism” if he don’t like it here move back to shitty canada

Wow, what a performance. So much passion and soul in the voice and guitar.
Only just noticed that my video has had over 12,000 views. Wow. Thanks for watching!

Roel van Dijk jujj
50 years on this song still has a strong message relevant today...Thanks for posting it...
Thanks for sharing!
Great footage!
Tell it like it is Neil! Love and tolerance of all people is what we need forever and always.
Magnificent! Thank you Roel! Put me right there! Sound/video: a true gem!
Love his comment about T.V we see show much of everything we don't remember anything...Love u Neil true Canadian icon!!
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.
This is my favourite song
Damn, I love this version and the tone of his guitar
One of his best and most difficult. His voice variation and control.

I was at this show. Good stuff.
Southern Man better keep your head,
Don't forget what your good book says....
Legendary lyrics from Neil Young Ohio southern-man Heart of gold all hit home with this hillbilly
Since when we’re hillbillies from Canada
Great performance here!

This was my first real peak into the history that wasn't published in my school history books.
Holy Shitballs what a verson.

amazing
The BEST!!! from Belo Horizonte/BRAZIL
Wow! Terrific songwriter
What a great song
Excellent!
They can keep their "sweet home, bama". Southen Man is the reality!
You know they were good friends with Neil, right?
Yep
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.
This Southern man don't need him around any how

Sorry, this was the only song I filmed that night.
just... great...
His Bminor is just...intoxicating!! Absolutely encompassing.

Yeah the south has pretty much gone under. Florida is nothing but a tribal sewer now.
And then Neil wrote Alabama (off the Harvest album) which is a tribute to Alabama.
@@Baci302 - And then Neil wrote "Powderfinger"...
@@acousticshadow4032 And then Neil wrote "Rockin' In The Free World" ...
@@Baci302 - ???
There are VERY few filmed good acoustic versions of Southern Man..this version is sweet!
Hard to find talent like this that can still move a room without cussing or grinding their junk on stage .
GOD BLESS TEXAS 🇺🇸
fk texas
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.
this song will always be relevant, as long as one group want to enslave others anywhere in the world
I've just had a couple of blazers a shot of the finest poteen and now Neil .☘️🥃💥💥
Wow...!
first tune i got well wasted to to. love it
I love Neil's comments
and I feel bad for not understanding. I'm brazilian...
Felipe Vale but a Brazilian who is listening to Neil Young. nothing to feel bad for

Neil as best...
Damn great song. Highly underrated but ultra relevant.
最高です。‼️💫🌟🌟🌟⭐︎
There is genius there.
Right now, we have to sing Southern man and Alabama

When I play this (on guitar) I sing it in the same key as Sweet Home Alabama, so I cut to the other, pretty cool to do.
2022...How Long...
ユーチューブで、たまたま、またまた、見つけました。
もう、結構いい、おじいちゃん、になってしまいましたね。
ネットで歳を調べると1945年生まれなので６９歳ですか…。
歌声やギターは往年のままですね！
happy birthday grandpa
I should really learn to read other languages, google translate sucks >:(
Give me Sweet Home Alabama all day long.
Then you gotta learn to read 😅
... and now we have Miley Cyrus. if there's something above - have mercy on this generation.
Oh come on. There was pop then too.
... but it was mostly GOOD pop :-)

Mooie opname Roel!
今日はこの唄を聞いて寝ます。
おやすみなさい！
ちなみに、ニールヤングは６９歳のニールオールドになりましたね～
おはようございます。
本日も宜しくお願い致します。
おはようございます。
今日も休みなので、ネットに常駐か・・・（＾＾；
So great ; voice bit more weathered , but almost better for it
Can someone please put this song with clips from '12 Years a Slave' before the Oscars? Seriously. I'm gonna ask everyone.
Neil is from Canada, He should compose a song about the wrongdoings against canadian Indigenous population.
Charlotte nc
:)
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...
This song is as ALIVE TODAY AS IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO!!!! We see that every day in the TRUMPANZEE AMERIKKKA!!!
Anyone know what chords he is playing here?
The prophet.
Could be Neil is playing Hank Williams' old D-28 here(?).
No, this is not "Hank", since the headstock is different. This is the same guitar that you can see on the cover of the Freedom album.
The Good Lord Bird
MAGNIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Southern Man Don't Need Him Around Anyhow ..............?
Guess they were wrong about that one.
great masterpiece🤣😭💕
it's only sad.ukraine's war is still contuneing😭😭😭

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 hope Neil Young will remember,

pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Then why were you around here???
@@tilesetter1953 to write this comment
The southern white man was poor. Didn't support Slavery. It kept them poor. Neil Young, did you imagine that?
Kept them poor? What a crock of s---t. Historians don't support your view. Neither does anyone else.
funny how cowboy boots look crap on some people
Still don't need him around.
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
