Thank you Canada for Neil Young, Cowboy Junkies, Joni Mitchell, k.d.lang, Jane Siberry, Robbie Robertson, The Wailin' Jennys..... the list goes on. Keep 'em coming Canada. Blessings
This is brilliant. Phrasing, singing, mixing a piano accordion in there, guitar and drums. Thank you CJs for your help during this lockdown in Melbourne...
What a knockout performance. I've heard Neils at least a million times and this lady comes along and blows me away. She's amazing. Gonna get into her and her group.
Cowboy Junkies doing Neil Young. In freakin' Liverpool. Talk about things you don't expect. It sounds fabulous. One of many reasons I love being Canadian is because these guys make me proud to be one!
Not that far-fetched. Canada was a protectorate of the UK and still has the Queen on the money. Liverpool is representative of both working blue collar and the port of departure for tens of thousands if not millions of emigres from Ireland and the UK. Love Neil Young and the Cowboy Junkies!
Michael Timmins is a sneaky good guitar player...he busts out those effects pedals and does that downpick thing that is so HIM...just an extraordinary band that continues to make vital music. It goes without saying that Mr. Timmins is a great lyricist and Margo is a treasure -- one of my favorite voices in all of music. Margo graciously gave me an autograph once as I mumbled some nervous fan nonsense. She touched me on the right shoulder and said, "thank you." I shall never wash that shoulder henceforth.
The Cowboy Junkies Helpless is the Greatest Love Song ever written. Margo’s voice is Angelic. I find it hard to believe that she is 60 years old and doesn’t look a day over 30 years old.
Suffice to say that I’m a huge fan of Neil Young’s music, but the Cowboy Junkies have infused this with a magic all their own. This rendition is currently my favorite version of “Helpless.”
This is a wonderful version of a great tune by a band for which there are no words strong enough to describe how much I love them. Long live the Junkies!
This is beyond brilliant. I'm also super impressed that they managed to get Blakey from "On the Buses" to play the accordian. I didn't know he had it in him. You lucky audience....
Damn......... I was a Cowboy Junky way back in the 90's living in Germany.....then they suddenly got lost in my fast-paced, moving swiftly through life-life. How nice to happen upon this by shear circumstance..... :D I now have a reason to sift through some wonderful reminisces I haven't visited in several decades. Thank you for the pleasure of your music. ;)
Cowboy Junkies covers always seem to be a little sweeter than the originals. Who have thought that adding an accordion would make an old song sound so new.
@@Jumbofreddy They have lots of their own songs, some of which are excellent. But they have a gift of taking other people's great songs and [putting just enough of their own twist on them for their covers that the song somehow becomes their own. In sum ... some of their best stuff IS "covers". They are a spectacular cover band in that they make other's tunes their own rather than just replicate the originals.
dont know ya but best Neil covers ever! third one I stumbled upon~ high country plain in your voice , arrangements outstanding` Dedicated Fan as of now
Neil young until now I could take or leave depending on my state of mind sober or drunk hence I did not know this was one of his. I thought it was new and had to look and listen. I use you tube music as backing to the games I play and if something comes along that grabs me i go have a look. her voice is very good I like it enough to add a like which is not usual for me. Never heard them before.
Hmm...I think we've found a Cowboy Junkie-proof song. The original CSNY version is paced just right, you can't mellow it any more than it already is. Still love seeing them do it tho'.
The great thing about a British audience is that they are quiet, no whooping to kill the vibe.
I guess you weren't around for the Beatles...
@@Kermit1953TS They were teenagers
Also, Whooping can take thinks to another level.
@@giovannimannelli2158 They were female or latent homosexual teenagers to be more specific. lol
we are canadians and this is Liverpool Nova Scotia
Thank you Canada for Neil Young, Cowboy Junkies, Joni Mitchell, k.d.lang, Jane Siberry, Robbie Robertson, The Wailin' Jennys..... the list goes on. Keep 'em coming Canada. Blessings
You missed Rush!!!!
And Leonard Cohen!!!!!
Indeed 😊@@rainerfassbinder2827

Cowboy Junkies is fertile ground...huge catalog. Brand new album (July 2018) called "All This Reckoning" is dark, sad, and beautiful.
She performed beautifully. THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤
I’m there with you. Hope they will come anywhere close to Cincinnati
Ditto here. So looking forward to seeing them in concert next month.

Margo ever sing with Neil, or Leonard Cohen?
I agree!!
They cover powderfinger too.
Then there are "The Arrogant Worms"!

Margo's voice is what got me into Cowboy Junkies. Timmins' guitar is what keeps me there.
I correct myself, another perfectly written song perfect covered/interpreted. Love u Junkies.
ll@
That piano accordion is just mesmeric, the whole cover is superb.
A legendary Canadian band covering a Canadian legend. It was a great place to grow up. Good, talented people. Beautiful.
Holly Cow, what a rendition of this song!
I can't even explain what these musicians do !!!! Amazing
What a beautiful version. Blows me away. Leaves me speechless.

Love the accordion. Reminds me of Garth Hudson playing in The Last Waltz.
brilliant song, even more brilliant lyrics (perhaps the most beautiful ever written), and a masterful interpretation. Awesome Junkies!
Grace, Poise, and Soul by the armload. What a wonderful band. thank you!
This is a wonderful version of a great tune by a band for which there are no words strong enough to describe how much I love them. Long live the Junkies!

Just heard this song in the movie Hotel Artemis. Now I have it on replay!
her voice haunts my mind... powder finger in particular... i love this chick.. wowwww
I count my blessings to be a witness to this miracle.

New Sennheiser headphones for birthday; came immediately to the Canadian church (Trinity Sessions) and then here. Splendid work.
I must thank the Junkies and Neil for this ..........this is more like psalm... and i love this
Long time Cowboy Junkies fan ❤️
Why can't I "like" this thing more than once!
Beautiful Allness, Neil Young, and beautiful this-ness, thank you for your heart-filled-artisms, your thoughts, feelings, performance, much 💥
Just listen to this song/voice/band. Long live R &R
Verbazingwekkende vertolking. Niet te evenaren .... geweldig mooi!!!
Zeker waar - en vanuit Ontario, Canada!! :-)
These musos know the value of pauses and silence in their performance. It gives their art wings.
Exactly right - their music always breathes as a result.
Canada rocks!!!!!! Great alt, jazz, folk, u name it u got it!!!!!!!!! I love Canada!!! Maine should be part of u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lyrics: Helpless
There is a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow Moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow Moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Baby can you hear me know?
The chains are locked and locked
and tied across the door.
Baby sing with me somehow.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Helpless, helpless, helpless.

do they make original ( personal) music ?

Ever try to play that accordion? HOLY SNAP❤
intstruments. love it. no one is lazy and everyone plays a part. bless you
I love this song!! Just beautiful.
LOVED THE WHOLE CREATION. 💕👌🎈THANKYOU
I had no idea Vladimir Putin could play the accordion so well!
I didn't recognize him with his shirt on!
You shouldn't make fun of Trump's employer.
This is real music.
What is not to like? Gorgeous song...
dont know ya but best Neil covers ever! third one I stumbled upon~ high country plain in your voice , arrangements outstanding` Dedicated Fan as of now
So fine! I wanna be a cowboy junkie (or am I). Sweet Jane and then this. Could be the best cover band ever. Thanks y'all.
Their originals are stunning.
Gary E. Michaels fully agree !
Drop the "cover" qualifier and I may agree
Just proud to have ears to listen to this kind of thing!
Thank's god, I have seen Neil Young and the Crazy Horses some years ago live in concert in WIESEB, AUSTRIA!!
Neil wrote some great lyrics
I never would-have thought I wish my favorite band would be more subdued for this song
can cry to this, clean my eyes
much love, this is untoppable, the best
What a truly once in a life time performance!
A perfect cover of Neil Young at his best. The Stargazer.
this song is beautiful :)
WOW!! Awesome!! Love this band!!
goodness is anything more beautiful than this?
Simply love the accoridian
This is a cat 5 masterpiece .Says it all as only a real Canadian can.
.
Absolutely beautiful - from a lifelong Neil Young fan.
Beautiful!!!!
Wow this song was done just right
I love this band.
cant watch enough, this is awesome
Does it get much better than this? I don't think so.
You are correct.
Maybe Neil's version with Joni Mitchell backing vocals
"Pretty woman carefully operating very heavy equipment."
Damn fine performance. Neil's gonna be happy
Love her...
...forever Young...
... so moved ... by an accordion solo !
I've heard a lot of covers of this great song. This is one of the best. Sure better than mine...
Two other greats:
Molly Tuttle: ua-cam.com/video/r1pRvGDPwxg/v-deo.html
KD Lang: ua-cam.com/video/kdaRG8CQugc/v-deo.html
Excellent version of a song that has to be played with conviction and above all, emotion.
A canadian band play a canadian rock classic.
