This should be in a museum....
Mr. Young soothes my old soul I've listened to him since the age of 15. I'm 60 now. A complete sense of calm fills me when I listen to him.
Same
Same
Same, but I am 70. He is just The Greatest.
I'm 15 now I get what you mean
same, but only 58
Mr. Young quites my soul, quicken my heart and excites my brain. I 'Ave listened since I was 17 I am now 71. ❤ all the time
I'm 90 and still in love with Neil!
im 66 and still do tooooo
Im a young 72 he soothes the soul
Ich bin eine 68 Jährige😮
@@NANCYBEHLING yep
how do u work a computer at 90 wow
Watching this in 2025.... Im age 69. He never, ever lost it. What a tremendous gift he has and shares with us.
I totally agree!
Saw Neil Young twice in my young (33) life. First time with Crazy Horse (2013) second with Promise of the Real (2018 I guess). Never ever felt so emotional and thankful for this man and his music. Cried several times listening to his music, because memories are connected to many of his tunes. My father was with me visiting both concerts. Never saw him happier in my whole life while Neil’s performance. We both had tears of happiness and gratitude in our eyes. This moments I will never forget. If this musician dies, the world stops turning. His performances will be my absolute number one concerts of all time!
Most definitely one of the greatest of all time!! Been listening to Neil since I was 15, I'm 64 now and he is just as pure now as he was then!!
I saw Neil Young and went back again 3 more times because of the emotions that came out during his shows. I would have tears in my eyes several times at a Neil Young show, something that if ever happened at a concert would be once. Something about his music resonated so deep, I never saw it coming, wow, great memories revisited here.
If he dies, I will die…..love Neil Young since I’ve been 14 and Im 60 now….hopefully he keeps going forever!
On my bucket list. Respect and love him and his work. Really have enjoyed both the video and green vinyl The Barn. Cannot get enough of it. FYI…I am in my 70’s and have been a fan since he appeared on the scene.
One time, 1967, Algonquin, Illinois, along with Richie, Stephen, Bruce, and Dewey.
63 here. Neil has been the go to artist of my life.
People use the term Masterpiece sometimes when it does not really fit the situation. If ever there was a song that deserved to be called a masterpiece it is this song.
What a song Neil Young gave us. If this song doesn't take you to a different time and place, nothing will.
I'm real glad I got to listen to the musical genius Neil Young on my journey through life ...
Neil is nearly the last of the true rock 'n rollers. Great to see him looking and sounding so good! A true legend.
tears
Yeah, and no, Propjoe. There are a lot of us here still playin and workin for Social Justice. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
You got it man...he's one of the true legends of rock. A lock on hall of Fame.
@@edouglaspratt Good on you, Douglas, right on...
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
BUT YOU and I, we've been through that
And this is NOT OUR fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late
Neil Young rocks and loves Lionel trains.. don't forget the damn trains.
The young dudes must have been amazed being part of This 👏🏽
Willie's sons have been at this game awhile but... yeah. 💕
Heard a few Neil young songs before. This song caught my ears just yesterday. Never heard it. And it's the reason why I'm here. Where have I been? Haha
I think it depends on who you're raised by... do you have hippie sister or hippie brother🤣or a wild Mother with an open mind🌼
Difficult to find the words to explain the true majesty of this....gets right to your soul...truly truly outstanding playing and vibe...👏👏👏👏
Truly blessed we are to have Neil Young in our lives
For anyone who missed it, he quietly put all his stuff back on Spotify.
It is his music, he is allowed to do what he wants with it. With however many platforms we have now you can't be that upset about the spotify deal. But let me guess, you are an antivaxxer? Aka a science denier!
hahahaha
@@BaronBoss-o9z Nope, I'm not anti vax.
No one does it better!!! Neil rocks like fine wine getting better with time.
I think he is an alien. So perfect and when you hear this music you think there is is some afterworld. Love NY
Fantastic version! Absolutely love that song
Sorry to say that I’m 56 years old, and just starting to realize the true genius of of this legend. Brought to it by my son who’s only 27. Love this guy now. Still exploring his music now, and I’m amazed daily. ❤️
Better late than never brother welcome to the party
Better late than never!
@@MegaBighut thanks brother!
@@MegaBighut thank you my man!
@@raymosmookle9373 I promise I will. I appreciate the heads up !
The Promise of the Real sound like they have been Neil's band for decades. The shared respect between band mates and the audience can be felt through the monitor. Wow!
Old Black NEVER gets old. This cutting-through-everything sound is so damn pure. What an epic song... It ain't getting old... Missing the Horse badly but the young guys and Neil performing great together!
Me to horse helped glue it to my memories
Yeah I'm smelling the Horse a wee bit on dis, however all da best to Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real - they're a pretty good crew I gotta admit. I really like their song 'Find Yourself', check it out it's here on da Tube.
saw them last year in Belgium + the 2 Sons of Willie Nelson are damn good next to Neil .
5:40 back up vocals flat
Where will Ol Black go when Neil leaves us.... Maybe to Luke.. or to Joe Walsh....Hopefully not off to auction.
I was at this show, and I dont mind telling you cried a bit during neil Youngs set.
La più bella canzone che io abbia mai ascoltato.
One of the greatest guitar riffs and tones of all time
It will be a sad day when Neil leaves us… a true musical genius among mere mortals….
Whenever I listen to Neil Young, it reminds me of my first kiss in the dark under a street lamp...thanks Neil!
Built up with their bare hands..what we still cant do today..so true...iits so real every time I hear cortez..
Best song ever written. Can't be topped. Well done shakey.
Merci merci de la musique du coeur de la tete De la vie merci
I´ve seen him in Germany ´83 `twice with `Trans Band` , but ´87 with "Crazy Horse" - "INCREDIBLE"
Amazing........so beautiful.....
One of his greatest electric song.
J'ai eu la chance de le voir sur scène à 7 reprises. Les meilleurs concerts auxquels j'ai pu assister.
Uncle Neil a Canadian Classic who just keeps getting better and better with time...true classics never die
Neil
rock and roll will never die
No one quite like Neil.. a true musical legend
Watch those much younger men follow Neil Young with such respect..they were raised right.
Neil! You make me more real! Thank you!
No more searching for that heart of gold Neil, you had it all along!
One of the best creative comments I have ever read relating to Uncle Neil and couldn't agree more.
Great music
Neil the Shaman, Still has Old Black, Priceless.
Neil sos el patrimonio de la humanidad. Cuando no quede nada seguirás sonando
Neil says, even Richard Nixon has got soul!! This song never gets old.❤❤❤ Cortez Cortez what a killer!❤❤❤
Neil Young is a freaking genius. And I don't know why but for some reason this song rises above all of his songs. That's just my opinion.❤❤❤
I could spend all day every day listening / watching the different versions of Cortez on UA-cam, something very soothing about watching Neil growing older as the song does. It's magical, it's Life. Neil Young IS everything the 21st century is NOT
exactly....listened to various ones from 86' to today...like an anthem of what a peaceful world should be....no more harm, no more agression, open ourselves to others! Support ourselves! each and every one!!! NY one of the greatest
The tone, the tone, the tone...
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
No one can make a guitar sound so ethereal and other worldly as Neil.😂
Love how Neil enjoys jamming with younger musicians!
Neil is the best of the best, even the Brits. Rock On
The last three days...shhhhtt....the last six have been rough. Today I find comfort, solace and Freedom in Neil Young.
Me too, today. Music is the ultimate pathway to healing. ❤ 🥀🌼
Not only is Neil superb as usual, Lucas Nelson and The Promise of the Real are truly an excellent band and all go together so well.......
Yep agree. Check out their tune 'Find Yourself' - a friend informed me about it yesterday and I'm hooked.
Lucas has genuine talent passed on to him. You don’t look at him SWEAR IT IS WILLIE SINGING. A GREAT GIFT HE IS!!
My favourite Neil song.
I love that Neil. he doesn’t care what people think.
Watching Neil, is like watching Picasso paint...a true artist..totally absorbed in what he is creating...#LEGEND!!...#AUTHENTIC!!...#ONLYNEIL!!!
Exactly what I wanted to say Like watching Picasso paint! Exactly- only it's Neil and with eyes closed it's like a musical painting in my mind. I have always and will always be amazed
He is fully oNE WITH HIS SOUL , in every way possible ....one of the Greatest born under the sign of Scorpio
I have been rockin' with Mr Young for over 40 years. I saw the "hippie" young man in the 70s and about 10 times after. Yeah!
Neil young is the most under rated guitarist of all time, it his passion and song writing skills that sets
him apart.
TEXTURE ! :)
Salute to the oldest rock singer Neil Young, a composer, lead guitarist, a singer, a movie film maker etc. Amazing at his age he can still kicking and pull the trigger..... what a legacy!
Un viaggio fantastico
I've been enjoying this song since he did it with Crazy Horse and he's still rocking it, it is my favorite Neal Young song, it's beautifully played and the story is bittersweet
We love you Neil ❤️ You are so calming . You can feel the Peace within your Soul. I am have listened you since the 60's . I have watched you grow. Powerful song. Great story!!!!!
Amazing man so soulful love him I get lost in his music and voice
I have been enjoying listening to my fellow Canadian now for 50 + years...this guy is timeless and one of the best!
Yes there is no one. like him ,he is the best and has been for me since 1972 and I am 65 now. And he's just getting better. Go Neil.
Thank You God for sending this man to all of us who appreciate these majestic brief and fleeting moments. Channeling your gifts through him for all to see what a beautiful place Heaven must be....
So glad to be on the planet at the same time as you! Blessings from St Augustine, Florida.

YOU ALL WERE AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Invited to play this song, with this man - there can be no higher honor in rock and roll.
Master Blaster that has no limits, just gets better by the year & thats been a lifetime.
When Neal goes deep, the music is playing him and we are along for the ride, freakin' awesome, NY & POTR couple Octobers ago, it was an epiphany
Gave me chills I listen to this song hundreds of times over the years.
Quintessential American experience; speeding through Nevada and Arizona in open top convertible with Neil Young at max volume.
The best ever! And Canadian!!
I was amazed by the lyrics first time I heard this song and I still am!!! TY. ✌🏾
13 people don’t like this!? Something is wrong with their ears! I would like this a thousand times if I could.
Lovely, maybe the bedt ever !!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Shamano sempre magico

After all these years. --- Thanks for everything Neil ...
This guy is so organic and electric, he's the real deal...love NY

My dream Is to see him live , someday, i hope. True legend, cheers to you Neil, from Argentina!
'Neil Young'...May the Great Spirit keep you here with us all as long as the 'Great Spirit' may choose to do so? May that be for many more MOONS!!
Take Care and Be Well...🇨🇦🇺🇸🌎✌
A genius of rock. A gift and a passion may it never die.
Can't wait to see Neil and Promise of the real especially Lukas in July in Kilkenny with Bob Dylan ,last seen Neil back in 93 one of the best days of my life .Long may you run Neil Young Best wishes from Ireland
IMMORTALE , IMMENSO , E UOMO LIBERO 👍
We are all passengers on his journey when he plays. And like the musical magician he is, it leads us to witness our own journey. 💗
Man, that song gets to me. Covered by many, but no one plays it like Neil.
I was there it was incredible to say the least. No words to describe really...
Jason Lowrey I was there too and I agree that no words can describe the feeling of lessening to this live...
Jason Lowrey i traveled from philly and bought a tix in the parking lot. Made it to the 20th row for this set. It was heaven. I smiled and cried.
saw this live too i was so drunk
I've seen tons of shows Dylan live 11 times...csny...crazy horse at the horde festival...this is flat out best song I've ever seen live.
You could say, as descriptive words "it was incredible to say the least".
Just an idea.
You're welcome.
;-)
This tune never gets old. Amazing. Soulful rendition. Lukas & POTR are the perfect backdrop for a legend like Neil.
Neil Young had always been amazing with his music and talent everywhere he had recorded or performed, one of rock true remaining legends.
the perfect version.. thank you ! from toulouse, France
Neil Young forever
This gave me chills when I first heard it. What a powerful performance!
In this song he plays and sings all of the mystery and history around us. This is just magical.
