There is a version of this where he sings this whilst busking on the pavement outside Central Station in Glasgow as the people go about their everyday business. Most of them totally unaware of the genius who is performing in front of them. Filmed in the early '70's I believe. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
What a hugely haunting performance - poignantly sung, his back to the camera, to an absent audience. The best version of this song by a racing mile. Genius.
I love the entire dvd but I especially love the treatment he gives "Old Laughin Lady" here at the end of it even w/the credits rolling by. It's supreme, High Art.
Robert Skolozdra Me too. I’ve Seen Neil in concert 20 times and seeing this in the theater almost felt like being at a show. Had to resist the urge to applaud at the end of the tunes.
This si one of My favourites to play,unfortunately my fingers are a little stiff to play as l wish., Mr. Neil always the best,now l'm the old man after '73 first time l heard it.
***** why would you even mention him in the same breath as Neil Young. Will they be listening to blunt in 10 years time never mind 40 no not a chance. Blunt isn't in the same galaxy as the master.
Great version rendition whatever .My favourite by a mile is the Unplugged performance .This version has not got the anger or sound of the unplugged version .However it has a lonesome feel to end an incredible in my mind very personal movie .The Uk,s most acerbic critic The Doctor said it made him cry
The real version of this is recorded slightly sharp which sounds a lot better. Neil doesnt retune for no reason. This recorded has been slowed down to detune it. I much prefer to actual recording which has the whole song in it
Did you alter the playback to make it in standard pitch? All the other videos of this are a bit lower in tune which I think is probably true to how it was originally played. This one is nice because I can play along without having to retune my guitar.
+MegaPianoPaul Thanks, I suspected; it had that great droning sound. I"ve heard his standard tuned version as well (nice too, but the double drop D makes it different, a little darker, more haunting)
Pretty simple but... as always with Neil, the trickiest parts are the sounds between the notes and his feel. And of course the vocal. Make it your own and have fun, he cannot be duplicated.

Genius.
I totally agree.
+mikecarrs +1
+mikecarrs Check out the version on Yesteryear of the Horse video.
agree, agree, agree. perhaps one of his compositions lyrically and musically
well said, sir. timeless expression
Always come back to this. We all have our own old laughing lady. 😢
Only Neil, would put his best song at the end with the credits.
I love the entire dvd but I especially love the treatment he gives "Old Laughin Lady" here at the end of it even w/the credits rolling by. It's supreme, High Art.
what dvd is this from Cathleen
Well put Cathleen
Class act and respect towards some of best names in music
Definitely
@@Gramrye did you discover the source....
@@williamtodd8557 no I didn't mate
Neil is the best. I was fortunate enough to smoke weed in this iconic venue.
This is my favorite performance of this song
I saw this film in the theater with some friends after work one night. Just when it came out. I love this version of the song. One of the best.Thanks
Robert Skolozdra Me too. I’ve Seen Neil in concert 20 times and seeing this in the theater almost felt like being at a show. Had to resist the urge to applaud at the end of the tunes.
Many of his songs are in drop D tuning and there's a few in double drop D.
He's a legend and I thank you. ✌️💜💯
Neil weaves a beautiful thread through the fabric of my life, since I was just a boy. Not sure what music would mean to me without his wonder.
you guys sounds pert gay to me.....@James Curtis
A genuine troubadour, one of a kind. The best.
Much of his music is like coming home for the holidays after being gone for a very long time.
Damn....well said 🔥
well said . That about sums it up
Magnifique 🌹💖✨💫
That's how you play an acoustic guitar...brilliant..
you can't have a cupboard .....if there ain't no walls...
Thankyou Neil.
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece... I love this version..
This guitar part is perfection.
This si one of My favourites to play,unfortunately my fingers are a little stiff to play as l wish., Mr. Neil always the best,now l'm the old man after '73 first time l heard it.
Man Neil, you just take my breath away.
Great version. Need to repost all the way to the end. Too cool & thanks.
I'm sure that Neil Young is not fully recognized as to just how good he was/is.
"Don't call Pretty Peggy /
She can't hear you no more" : (. . .
***** why would you even mention him in the same breath as Neil Young. Will they be listening to blunt in 10 years time never mind 40 no not a chance. Blunt isn't in the same galaxy as the master.
@brianferris6118 what?
Neil is just cool and old skool at the same time. They don't make them like him anymore.
The only other one like Neil is Tom Petty.
petty is like a milk shake compared to this@@paulmcconkey637
you can buy this entire concert dvd I bought it at wall mart its freaking awesome.
It really is amazing and heart felt.
thanks for the info, I'm gunna look for it next time

When she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.
The best version but strangel ending
Never heard something like that on an acoustic guitar.
awesome!!!! so great
this video cuts short now. it used to play all the way through. where can i get the full version back again..?

then it was A good Nash Stills and very young Young Neil!!
Hey, folks. I found the full recording, not upcut at the end. Better audio too.
ua-cam.com/video/M674xRErlQQ/v-deo.html
she don't keep time and she don't score. freedom!
the one from unplugged is great also .
un instant d'exception
omfg, how could you cut that off!
RIP Queen Elizabeth
There's a rumble in the bedroom ... ?
f*ck me. I love his compositions. so glad I have his vocal range to give him justice when we pay. I love you Neil
hope sometime when you're bored.
f'n awesome
young wrote this when he was eighteen or nineteen...
yer a brave man to play about little old ladys!
cut off at end, not cool
WHY DIDN'T YOU POST THE WHOLE THING?~?!?!?
I sing and play this song a lot ..... but it don't sound like this
we can play through the haze
Fucking awesome
Around the time he had serious brain surgery..
What happened to the end?
It's about the third song on UA-cam that I like, that has cut off on the last word... Ruins the whole song.
Double drop D.
+MegaPianoPaul Thanks, I suspected; it had that great droning sound. I"ve heard his standard tuned version as well (nice too, but the double drop D makes it different, a little darker, more haunting)
Does anyone have the tab or chords and tuning for this version?
search on youtube for privettricker's cover of this, tuning is double drop D by the way
tnovacekt Was going to say the same thing. He posted the best cover of this I've ever seen.
Pretty simple but... as always with Neil, the trickiest parts are the sounds between the notes and his feel. And of course the vocal. Make it your own and have fun, he cannot be duplicated.
Don't count score
Absolutely ridiculous guitar play.
