i remember watching this live on tv in scotland. i was 15 yrs old, later that year i saw neil with booker t at finsbury park london. blew my mind,ch. played sitting on the dock of the bay with a difference ,, left my home in canada, amazing , they came on early an played 3 hours. best day ever
This performance is absolutely brilliant. I remember watching it on TV shortly after the concert in question at Madison Square Garden and being completely blown away by Neil Yong in particular. He showed an enthusiasm for both the tribute to Bob Dylan and the lyrics of the songs that were very moving. I think he was on home soil with the lyrics and that's what we saw. Anyway, I've been a big fan of Neil Young ever since and Bob Dylan's lyrics never cease to impress.
Ah, memories. Neil was on fire in this concert. I watched it with my ex-husband, poor man. We loved it! So many great performerss. But Neil was the standout.
Oui, on le voit pas assez, Steve Cropper. On ne l'entend pas assez. Il fait pourtant un fantastique travail de contrepoint à la guitare rythmique qui n'est pas une simple manifestation de sa présence historique avec les Booker T sur cette scène. Grr
Hard to believe this was 30 years ago now. They should have a 30th year anniversary show to commemorate this 30th anniversary show. Neil stole the show and literally blew the doors off everyone else there. I own the BluRay. It’s still great.
Steve Cropper, the guitarist dressed in black in white, does not receive enough recognition. He got his first big break with Booker T. and the M.G.’s. Besides backing Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, and any others, he co-wrote and produced “Dock of the Bay” with Otis Redding. He was also the band leader for the Blues Brothers.
Saw this on PBS in 95. Then saw it again on VH1. I also have the album. It was an amazing night. The actual date of the concert was October 21, 1992. Never understood why the solo number by Booker T & The MGs at the concert and on the video did not make the album. It was an instrumental version of Emotionally Yours. P.S. O Jays played that song in the concert. Booker T's solo tune was something else. It was Gotta Serve Somebody. There is a 2 set DVD or Blu Ray out since 2014 with outtakes and material left off the album.
Neil played right after Sinead O’Connor …and just after Sinead was done ruining what was left of her career, good old Neil stepped on stage with his flannel shirt and torn jeans and Old Black and totally got the whole show back on track. I was 9 years old when I saw this for the first time (27 years ago…) and must of watched that VHS tape 867 times… Probably the reason why I play guitar today…
Wow! What memories! Same story here. I was 8-9 years old the first time that I saw the VHS (double one. I still have it) with my dad. This was the way that I was introduced to all these super musicians like Richie Havens, The Band, Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and so on. And yes, it was the main reason that I started to play the guitar. Nowadays, I still playing the guitar and watching this concert, but today, with my daughter. This concert changed my life. Cheers from Chile.
I guess I wasn't the only kid who was influenced. I was 12. Watched the whole thing with my Family. Bought the CD as soon as I could I love the opening chords by neil. Just gives you chills! Keep rocking guys!
"Celebs, Press Storm South Hackensack Motel Seeking Sinead O'Connor" (The Daily Voice, Cliffside Park-Edgewater, N.J., August 14, 2017; posted here 05/29/22) A superb news headline, even if its creator is unaware of its unsurpassed, unintentional absurdity. Finally, someone has come along who is capable of lowering the standards of a New Jersey hot-sheets motel to a previously unimaginable level of depravity.
Ma rencontre avec Neil Young. Le concert avait été diffusé de nuit sur la chaîne française Canal+. Mon père grand fan des Beatles devant l'éternel l'avait enregistré afin de voir George Harrison, rare en live. On regarde le concert ensemble le lendemain en le sonorisant sur la chaîne HIFI. J'avais 12 ans. La prestation de Neil Young a été une claque dont je ne me suis jamais remise.
Such great over shots of the drummers! I always knew Keltner was the main guy, but re-watching this helped me remember another prominent drum kit player was...I think it’s Anton Fig! Another long lost, forgotten type! Wow!
the original is an extra 3 min plus long & VH1 of yt has buffered the sound and softened it all into "one channel" kinda thing. Still rocks of course but fiind the full with the intact high end and wow!!
I just watched the Dylan 30th year celebration series on cable. Sinead O’Connor had just shocked everyone (band mates included) by completely abandoning the game plan to sing an acapella version of Bob Marleys “War”. It was polarizing, with half the crowd booing, and the other half applauding her avant- garde improv (for lack of a “better” term). I don’t remember enjoying it although it was impressive. But when Neil and the MG’s played this, it saved the moment, and made the show, for me...
Este tempo, sim este tempo eu não posso esquecer em 1968 julho eram apenas jovens alguns já lançados e outros ainda a lançarem-se no mundo da musica. God theme
Yup, Neil never played a 3 minute song in 3 minutes, you would be looking at a minimum of 6 minutes with at least 2 solos. I have seen him a few time (lots) , I will say the long solos are the best thing about his live shows, he is so into it, you can't help but go along for the ride, it is an enjoyable one.
Esta es una de las canciones más versionadas en el mundo del rock, pero indiscutiblemente las dos mejores versiones son la de Hendrick y la de Neil Young
Did one of the performers say somewhere during the show something like, wow you know it's a pretty cool concert when Booker T & the mg's is the house band. I can't remember who said that....anyone?
This followed Sinead O'Connor's performance where she was supposed to sing I Believe in You (find the outtake of her singing it in during practice - it's beautiful) but she was so stunned by the angry mob reaction of the audience that she knew a quiet ballad was not going to work. What was she supposed to do? She only rehearsed one song with the band. So she could run off the stage or she could sing something a capella without the band. She courageously chose the latter but it went well over the heads of the crowd and they berated her off the stage. All because she stood up against the Catholic Church for covering up the sexual abuse of children by its priests. People did not believe her at the time, but now we know she was right.
@@GavinMcLeod : Nice guitar player, original lyricist, very shaky thin voice and some very questionable melodies. I'm more of a rock guy. I appreciate his genius but I don't necessarily want to listen to him.
Have reviewed many versions and bounced this off others including Jehovah Witness who publish "all along the watch tower." re Bob Dylans oriniginal. Consensus, this is probably the best.
i read that eric clapton and george harrison didn't like the performance as they also didn't like neil's playing. well, that's their opinion as i love what neil does. plus, he is a WAY better guitar player than clapton ever was. neil still kills while clapton latches on to his past glories playing MAGA conventions.
Absolute shite. Just a whole lot of noise. Clapton with kravitz is far superior...... Clapton put young back in his box at the same concert with his version of don't think twice. Then showed his class on my back pages.... Fact
@@earth-thrower7366 this is utter crap. The man was largely talent-less and then he attempted Hendrix. What a fool. Stole the show? That is the most accurate thing you said.
@@thomaselliott573 Your play with words, isn't clever, by the way ? 😄..Neil Young, has been a prolific songwriter, and is still going strong, in that regard,... he also brings more stage presence, and plays with more feeling, than alot of his peers ! (still , in his seventies !),...his songs often have a message, and he's STILL got plenty to say regards, social comment, and his activism ?
Poor old Neil never had much talent. He was a bit of a loser really. Broke up CSNY who were far more talented than him. Could not play guitar or sing. Relied on blasting away with no skill to back it up.
Even after all these years I still find my way back to this video. Absolute classic!
This is the best version of all along the watchtower ever.
Have to say Dave Matthews version is better
@@Demon-rq5de you misspelled Dave Mason...understandable ua-cam.com/video/-5VC23TeUWU/v-deo.html
cause of Neil:-)
This is so Neil Young! He is awesome!!
ì. agree

Awe inspiring, Big Neil tearing it up on this classic song, this is what rock n rolls all about, unbeatable from Canadanian legend
Ah, memories. Neil was on fire in this concert. I watched it with my ex-husband, poor man. We loved it! So many great performerss. But Neil was the standout.
Bless you, Lady J.
And bless the poor man too.
One of the most truly original songwriters and musicians to ever take the stage
And a great great guitarist!!!!!!!
The amazing Neil Young! 💖
Neil blasted it out of the park!
What a great take on a classic. Booker T, MG's, & Neil Young ... would like to have seen more from those fellers.
Why does EVERYONE who plays with Neil Young look like they're having the greatest time? (!)
Quay Rude they toured together multiple times as Neil's backing band
Thanks ... had no idea.
Great Song by Dylan, great played by Neil Young ✌️✨☮️
Incredible performance!!!
Steve Cropper stands in the back ground and carries the song through. We love Neil but there is only one Steve Cropper.
and only one Booker T. Jones (he's the reason why I play the Hammond organ)
Oui, on le voit pas assez, Steve Cropper. On ne l'entend pas assez. Il fait pourtant un fantastique travail de contrepoint à la guitare rythmique qui n'est pas une simple manifestation de sa présence historique avec les Booker T sur cette scène. Grr
Haunting tune, the man does justice to it. Thank You Brothers!
What the hell does he do with that guitar, mind-boggling!
It is modded to the hilt. Old Black is one of the most famous guitars in rock music.
Brilliant show niel young was great , the best show l have seen in years , all the musicians absolutely fantastic
This is the Bob Dylan 30th anniversary concert. Order online for full DVD. On CD too
I watched this live on mtv. And the next year I saw Neil and crazy horse in Halifax NS.
It wasn’t on MTV. Originally aired on PBS, believe it or not.
Neil Young can play and sing and keeps on rockin :-D
I remember seeing this on the HBO special. Unbelievably great.
This was originally aired on PBS not HBO.
That boost of energy. Good heavens!
Hard to believe this was 30 years ago now. They should have a 30th year anniversary show to commemorate this 30th anniversary show. Neil stole the show and literally blew the doors off everyone else there. I own the BluRay. It’s still great.
Totally Smoking and watching this for for the first time after hearing his house in Malibu burnt down.
Trump got blamed for that by Neil himself.
All along is the best song ever. 🤔👌
Brilliant! Hard to cover with a spirit that equals Hendrix, but he does achieve it somehow
From Hank to Hendrix as ole Neil says
Neil, the strumming wildman
As only Neil could have played it. Great to see Booker T and the MG's as well. Play it, Steve!

Great story, It was a stunning show. Sinead was not having her day..:)
You just wouldn't get this raw power from any band these days...unbelievable that's assuming they even last 10yrs let alone 30yrs
I was standing right in front of him...never gets old watching any of it....it's one of those things I never forget.

Jim Keltner - such a bad ass
the neil tour with the book and his band after this was one of my top 3 shows ever it fucking rocked
Man listen to Neal and Booker T and the MGs drive the song. With Jim Keltner on drums of course.. Brilliant!!
Not to forget the great Steve Cropper on the second guitar.
Incredible videos ,great memories
Wonderful,!
The Bucking Bronco....Ole Neil laying em down....hard....🎤🎸🔥👊💪
Excellent!! Thank you!
God damn it I just love this version
We want more!

The band is the best. All the cats from Stax Records. Who could ask for more?

Neil really capitalized on the moment, and he seems a little coked up here, still going back to the tele-prompter to find his place.
Sinead reacted to all the mostly white Dylan-fans boooing when she came on stage.
Good shit!
amazing!
Este tempo, sim este tempo eu não posso esquecer em 1968 julho eram apenas jovens alguns já lançados e outros ainda a lançarem-se no mundo da musica. God theme
Old black & the godfather of grunge tearing it up witg a hurricane of guitar solos..Incredible, but it would be better with full version..
Português não sei inglês
Shame this version is heavily edited. Neil played longer solos that would melt your face. Amazing.

Pretty poor edit at that.
Mr Young put his stamp on it.
Blown Away by the Hurricane!!!
Heading for the 30th Anniversary of the 30th Anniversary. Sometimes I wonder what that means......
The Energy on Stage that Night was more than Electric. It was Electic.
Play it Steve! Great growling rhythm.
Show!!!
Wow.

Wow
What happened to "My Back Pages"?
KICKASS!
サイコー🎶
The best part of his solo is cut off WTF?

One of the single greatest performances in rock history. And I'm not a particular fan of Young.
I am.
You really should be
@@GavinMcLeod : Nice guitar player, original lyricist, very shaky thin voice and some very questionable melodies. I'm more of a rock guy. I appreciate his genius but I don't necessarily want to listen to him.
@@kensilverstone1656 fair enough. Still good you can recognize his guitar prowess.
So good performance Neil Young...but if Hendrix wolud be alive...he would be the chosen one...
Óbvio! Neil foi escolhido... É uma versão em homenagem a carreira de um amigo! Hendrix está feliz... e eu também! 😊
I didn't know Steven Seagal played rhythm guitar for the MGs.
What a line up, BT and MG's Would love to know if DDD and Steve Cropper and Booker T existed in this tribute gig. Any clues?
Donald Duck Dunn, Hendrix was Happy that Night. Pure Joy ln STage
Honestly thought Neil was having a seizure during solo 😂
This recording really picked up Keltner's bass drum.
Its a shame with all that editing in the solos. Neil stole the show that night
I feel sorry for his Les Paul!
Go Neil. !!!!!!!
Does anyone know if that’s Jim Keltner on drums.
Yes, it is.
mrduckspeak : Thanks so much. Love him.
👍🌵🌅🌲😇
