In 1970, I saw a band called Buttermilk Dispatch play the hell out of this song on the campus of Fort Hays State University, in Hays, Kansas, when I was fifteen. At the time, the song was like a bombshell scattering hormonal shrapnel. Matthew's and Susanna's performance makes me feel like a young man again. Not that anyone should give a shit about the reminiscences of a sentimental proto-coot, but there you go.
EXCELLENT. Neil's first to solo album's are still my favorite's. The band here catches the roughness of Crazy Horse and Susanna Hoff's vocal's add a sweetness missed with the original. ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. Loved it.
Now THIS is a great cover! All of them are terrific professionals, with the lead guitarist really standing out for me. Does real justice to NY's original (and truly wonderful) song.
As I was watching/listening, I was thinking “HO......LY.....S-T”. I mean, my God! No, @Just Jeanne, it does not get any cooler than this! Until I just stumbled onto this video, I had no idea they’d even paired up, and as you said, what a match!
Saw him in the Ventura Theatre. No louder band had I ever seen since West/Bruce/Lang when I was like-ahem- 10 years old.lol Anyway, Sweet was soooooooooooo good.
@@tomthalon8956 Not as loud as The Who Tom. My ears were ringing for days after sitting a few feet from the stage , watching them perform live 1971. Did see Mountain in Liverpool around the same time . Pete said from the stage , there’s a great band coming over to England soon named Mountain. Go and see them , so we did!
I love "Sid and Susie", which is what they call the Matthew Sweet And Susanna Hoffs team since their days playing with Mike Myers in the group "Ming Tea" for the Austin Powers movies. I only wish someone had advised Susanna in 1989 that she could do lots of individual projects, like her own solo work, and her collaborative projects with Matthew Sweet, without breaking up the Bangles. The Bangles could have had maybe 5 more years of chart topping success at the beginning of the 90s. When this performance was made, the Bangles were already back together and doing concerts, and Susanna still did these other collaborative projects on the side. Susanna Hoffs, in my humble opinion, was never a 100% solo artist, like Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson. She was not a "diva" who went on the stage, filled it up with her presence and said, "Here I am! Enjoy." She always comes on, with the Bangles, with Matthew Sweet, or with other artists she works with, like Andrew Brassell, etc. And those other musicians came on, not like Susanna's backup but as fellow musicians, on equal terms with her, and she says, "Here WE are! Allow us to share our music with you." They don't work FOR her, they work WITH her. Susanna has always been, in my opinion, by nature and at heart, a collaborative artist, always working as part of a team, in songwriting, performing, etc.
Kristen Chenoweth and Susanna Hoffs hugging each other at the end. Probably the first time either has hugged an adult in years without having to reach up. (A wonderful singer and an outstanding singer/actress.)
+Dana McCall I don't know if you knew, but he has a new album on the way this year, thanks to Kickstarter (tinyurl.com/nnxhcw7)! He says he's planning for it to be out sometime this summer.
Ms. Hoff could cover the menu from the local pizza takeaway and it would still sound better than most of the so called music we're dished up with today. There seems to be a trend with some artists covering and re interpreting classics from the 70's, 80's and 90's and in most cases doing a damn fine job of it. That, to me, speaks volumes about the quality if a lot of the new 'music' being promoted by the industry today.
It's been a year since I heard this. The more I reflect on it..the more I hear the Paisley underground sound here. The same spirit that is in "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. It's a delicate but beautiful spirit. It mesmerizes. And we live in an era of people overdoing EVERYTHING. And here we have the opposite. The most careful handling of sparce instruments and thoughtful vocal phrases. I am not so foolish to think everyone would "get this"....but for those who like a higher level of art......your ride is here.
No it’s not; Check out the older live videos where Matthew had either Richard Lloyd or Robert Quine playing lead guitar for him--they are light years better than that dude!
Wow....such a great rockin' version of this Neil Young classic! The guitar playing is superb! Bye th way, Susanna's customary stance and playing is always a delight to watch. Great performance!
His emotion clearly outweighs his raw talent which is what makes him so great. His tone and style are unique, you always know when it's him playing or singing. How many technically proficient guitar players can you say that about? I'd take a great songwriter with great feeling over a great player any day. But that's just me.
there's only one matthew sweet~ what is it about that guy, i never even heard an interview of him but i bet he's a good interview, right? i guess i was a fan since 'girlfriend' what year was that, right?
I am amazed at the progress Susanna has made in expanding her song repertoire, with increasingly interesting filmed stories and a variety of stage poresentations.
No - there have been far better guitar solos in Mathews’s past live performances when he had either Richard Lloyd or Robert Quine playing lead for him…this guy’s ok…🙄🙄🙄😑😑😑
They sound great! But, oh shit! Matthew! Well, ok. His voice is still rockin'. I met Susanna at the Larry Holmes comeback fight in Miami, Fl. What a beautiful and talented woman. Love her! I've sung this song with the BOBBY FRISS BAND onstage in Tampa, Fl. I'm pretty sure Miss Hoffs does it better than me. How AWESOME!!
@@safuna170 Exactly. Ming Tea was an invention by Mike Myers and every member of the band had a name. Susanna Hoffs was "Gillian Shagwell" and Matthew Sweet was "Sid Belvedere". That's where they got the name "Sid and Susie" for their duo together. In fact, it was Mike Myers' then wife who gave him the idea of making a movie using his character. Mike Myers then brought Susanna's husband, Jay Roach, a young director at the time, to direct the film and he ended up directing the entire trilogy, and then the "Meet the Parents" movies. Jay wasn't well known when he married Susanna. He became a success afterwards, for those who think Susanna married for interest.
Julie Andrews did a fierce version "warm apple strudel and Shnitzel with noodles and a Cinnamon Girl, with Lagers she brings, these are a few of my favorite things".
Too many people think Susanna Hoffs was just a cutie pie, sexy chick from The Bangles, but she friggin' ROCKS!! Then put her onstage with Matthew Sweet, with a Rickenbacker 325 like Lennon played in the Beatles, and the short black cocktail dress??!! Just pour ice cubes over me, and when you're done, pour some more....

@@charltor6 Exactly. And her signature model is actually a Rickenbacker 350. She sometimes uses a Rick 360 12 string, and her Taylor Koa Wood Accoustic Susanna Hoffs Signature Model.

Simply an awesome cover of a great song by 2 remarkable artists. I love how Susanna kicks it going into the lead break. Shes still hot, and can belt it better than ever. Sweet is...Sweet.
@MisterAnimalChin Actually, that's Greg Leisz; Another longtime Matthew Sweet cohort (he can most often be heard playing pedal steel). However, Richard Lloyd DID play on their album version! :)
Susie with her #1 numbered copy of the 250 Rickenbacker numbered and put out 1988 and 1989 years. I have a cheap copy but love the looks of this guitar. Sue and Matt a good combo!
It never hurts to bring along Susanna Hoffs, a black dress and that black Rickenbacker! Not sure if she does much more than just strum, but she looks incredible doing it! She even had her own signature model Rick.
This was actually filmed a few years ago. That said, if you've seen any of the recent press photos from Under the Covers Vol. 2, he definitely has lost a lot of weight. He looks really good! And he's actually managing to pull off a killer mustache too.
absolutely, so underrated. because the Bangles are all women? I've talked with a few female artists/bands and they all report consistently being treated like shit - e.g. sound guys didn't care how bad their mix was because they're only a girl band. the rock music industry likes to pose as these progressive, iconoclastic agents of change and rebellion but they're no less devoted to their sexism than the brutes in any other industry
I love the original, but I actually like the faster tempo they take on this. The singing is great, the druming is locked in, and the gutars are fat and dirty in a perfect homage to Neil.
No / wrong/ sorry - he’s not; when Matthew had Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine playing lead for him - their guitar work was far more superior than that dude with 1 pickup SG in the video.
One of the all time greatest covers in Rock history IMO. Neil is one of my absolute favorites, but I love that this is not a strict note for note cover like so many are. Susanna providing female vocals. The faster tempo. And the additional lead guitar. These guys put their stamp on a song that was already a classic
She was exactly 50 (born January 17, 1959). And your're right. She's beautiful, talented, and most importantly, a very humble and decent person. She's beautiful on the outside, and the inside. It makes somebody proud to have a crush on her.
Prayers for Matthew as he recovers from a stroke 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Agreed!
I'm glad that I live in the universe where this happened.
Me too🩵
Credit to Neil Young for writing a great song. I've seen two dozen bar bands perform this song, and it always sounds good.
He wrote this , cowgirl in the sand and down by the river ) all in one day when he had a bad fever
there are no English words available to express how exquisite Susanna Hoffs is
Nope she s foxy but a poor imitation
And she's a pretty good singer too 😍
She's a Goddess that came down to earth. I find myself coming back to this video often, just to see her
Exquisite is the word
Beautiful, sexy and wow
She is a rare person to get better looking and more talented every day. I just saw this. Awesome.
One of the hottest women in rock music history
That’s an understatement, she takes your breath away
One of my favorite Neil Young songs. I really like this lead guitarist's take on the song.
Couldn't have been worse than the original solo.

My brother in law did pass away
Lots of back stage lots of bands
Lots of fun RIP Elliot
Personally speaking, I don't think it gets any cooler than this. Matthew and Susanna are a musical marriage made in heaven!!! ~~~
Agreed!
Abso-freekin-lutely!
The musician I'd most like to have for a friend the one I'd most like to date.

This shreds!!
Matthew Sweet doesn't get enough credit but, to be fair, its pretty hard to take your attention off Susanna Hoffs.🤘😎🤘❤❤
I can apricate both ❤
