These two artists are giants of the music world,we will never see the likes of them again,so sad that music has went downhill, but I still have all my albums, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Velvet underground, Love,Neil Young,Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd, The Byrds, Donovan, David Bowie,Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Band,Van Morrison, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who,Nick Drake, The Clash,Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Strangler's, Stone Roses,all great bands,we will never see their likes again. ✌️
I read somewhere that Neil was Linda McCartney's favorite musician. It must have been something special for these two to play with each other. They are world's apart in style, but equally magical in what they do.
When Linda was fading as the cancer progressed she would ask Paul to put on early Neil Young -- knowing that gives this version a little more depth . . .
This is amazing to know these two are this close. Neil gave Paul's induction speech into the Hall of fame. I am a Neil fan been one forever, My Wife is crazy for Paul. Seems we belong together been 35 years now no one would have picked us as a couple either. We do not have much in common personality wise. Differences make for good bonds. Hearing these two play together, this song, is so sweet. My greatest fear is losing my Lori she isn't well. Only love can break your heart has so many meanings.
I see it has been three years since you posted this. I hope your dear Lori got better and you two have a long healthy future ahead. My dear Suzanne, who was a big fan of both Paul and Neil, died 3 months ago after a long series of illnesses (but she had many good moments the last few months, and she died peacefully in bed beside me rather than alone and in pain in a hospital - for that I am thankful). We were married 47 years, and my sorrow at losing her is balanced by my gratitude for what we had. Only love can break your heart, because only love can fill your heart that full. Peace and good wishes to you.
Fantastic. McCartney's harmony is really good - he moves with Young's sometimes out of tune voice. What a great rendition of this song! Absolutely love it and keep replaying it.
Two of history's greatest singers of love songs/ballads. Yes, only love can break ones heart -- but, tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I've lost two of my life's greatest loves -- My Catherine in 1977 (to a drunk-driver) and My Heavenly-Resplendent Barbra Rose (to cancer in November 2010). Sometimes, love exacts a heavy toll on us all. As long as we learn from it and love more deeply as life goes on. Thank you, Neil and Paul.
I imagine that McCartney looks up to Neil, as Neil looks up to McCartney. They have a cool little friendship going on. It's amazing when the two of them get together. I'm sure they both realize that too.
What I love about this is that both are taking the other into much consideration. Neither one is trying to grab the lead or be the star. In their case and in this particular performance it really appears this attitude is coming from the heart and not a put on.
TWO OF THE BEST ROCKERS GETTING IT ON. THE FANS OF THIS GENERATION ARE TRULY BLESTED FOR THE SONGS THEY MADE FOR US TO TRULY ENJOY. ITS NOT A DAY GOES BY SOMEONE IS HUMMING A BEATLES OR A NEIL YOUNG SONG IN THERE HEAD. THANK YOU NEIL AND PAUL. SONGS LIVE FOR EVER. KEEP PLAYING ON AND ON FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO ENJOY.
Thanks for the insightful comment. It was what I was thinking but unable to pinpoint exactly: "Truth that circumvents thought and gets right to the heart - not introspective but intuituve." Wonderful way of putting it. Also have to say McCartney's voice and band is great here and it's the best I've heard "Only Love" sound since the first time I heard it decades back. Ditto on thanking Neil Young for a lifetime of music and emotion. Thanks, too, to whoever posted the video.
perfect harmonies from paul. best live bassist/guitarist/vocalist of all time. a real in the trenches journeyman musician.....billionaire. whoah. that's deep.
Such an honest and profound song! Perhaps Neil's best! Gotta love seeing Paul singing it with him! Two outstanding poets of lyrics of our generation right there! Bridge shool is such a wonderful event too! Thank you for posting this!
So many greats played those shows We had the concerts to our selves for years until the internet made it too popular and hard for us locals to our private gig. We went for 20 years? We were there when they played together. We were so spoiled for so long. We caught Neil at many tight lipped almost unannounced shows up from Santa Cruz to The Warfield north to small clubs small towns.
Two of the world's most important philanthropic souls. Also great musicians ... poets. We reference your works to help us get by, and make sense of this tragic world. Thank you both, SO MUCH.
OOH WOW, Just boucin' around you tube and I ran into THIS JEWEL!! SOOO GOOD!! 2 of my favorite musicians singing 1 of my favorite songs. THANK YOU FOR POSTING! feel like I hit the music lottery ~~~~
Glorious. Such a sweet heartfelt lament for loss. And it's easy to imagine Paul thinking of John as he sings the "friend he's never seen/who hides his head inside a dream."
I mean really does music get any better than this???? Paul McCartney and Neil Young together!!!!!!! They should make an album together!! just utterly fantastic!!!!!! superb boys!!!!! Two of the greatest musicians of all time-
The Beatles and Neil Young are amongst my favourite artists. I'm more of a Lennon fan, but McCartney is a genius. Great to see these 2 legends playing together. After The Goldrush is just a brilliant album.
You know, I've heard many a superstar partner up with another fellow superstar, and sometimes their voices don't mesh well. That's not the case here. Their voices are beautiful together! Almost stunning.
This is a really beatufiul song. Neil Young is amazing. I first discovered his music while I was living in Dominican Republic as a kid, his music reaches all places.
wow! that is awesome! neal young is amazing, as always... and paul does a great job of playing backup.... always the gentlemen and acknowledging other musicians.
two founding fathers of rock..... take note young ones, this is music from when giants roamed the earth
Great Comment & oh so very true.
@@Cultrix Here, Here and even Giants among Giants!
Well said 👍

Yup,Giants!
I read somewhere that Neil was Linda McCartney's favorite musician. It must have been something special for these two to play with each other. They are world's apart in style, but equally magical in what they do.
Perfect combination.two genius music industry.
Both have a genius gift for melody. Irreplaceable gentlemen
He was mine - took my birthday $ and went to Paper Back Book smith to get my first album - After the Gold Rush
OMG! Well, glad you asked. WARNING!: If you get hooked on Neil Young, your life will change - or least your view of it.
Robert Johnson Should have said: "Glad you asked, "unfluster" (post from 5 months ago).
+Robert Johnson Yes! My life has changed - I love Neil Young!!
Indeed....
For sure... one of the best songwriters ever to walk the earth, uncut rawness to all his music
Yep I'm 19 and Neil is the reason I'm doing music as my life like no joke during this lockdown whatever he's the reason
When Linda was fading as the cancer progressed she would ask Paul to put on early Neil Young -- knowing that gives this version a little more depth . . .
+Michael Caufield i didn't know that...it's very touching to know that...that songs of Neil can help you face the suffering
+Michael Caufield I'd never read that before. Nice to know. :)
She always said that she loved Neil Young's work :)
Reading that was beautiful- thank you for sharing it. Genuine love between those two fantastic guys.
Michael .... brava..
non sapevo ..e non avevo mai visto questo video!
I love it when Paul starts to harmonize a lower part during the chorus. Fits the song perfectly.
the only barrier neil does not want to cross is playing fake music. he's the most genuine musician i have ever known. so raw and real.
One of Neil Young's best love songs.
me too
Their voices blend beautifully together.
This is amazing to know these two are this close. Neil gave Paul's induction speech into the Hall of fame. I am a Neil fan been one forever, My Wife is crazy for Paul.

Hope she is well, my friend.
@Hans WAGNER Indeed! Paradise here on EARTH...but a "Paradise Eatth"...as it was in the beginning!

In 2020, I'm nearly speechless...That's how great this is!
Probably two of the worlds greatest songwriters on that stage.
Literally my favorite two musicians
Pour moi également
Paul McCartney & Neil Young singing together - good friends...
Two truly wonderful people as well as musicians, who have made the world a little better!!
I’d say A LOT better! Saved my sanity thousands of times over.

Fantastic. McCartney's harmony is really good - he moves with Young's sometimes out of tune voice. What a great rendition of this song! Absolutely love it and keep replaying it.
these two should write songs together and perform,they have great harmonyand energy
Literally hundreds of classic songs between these two...incredible.
Two icons on one stage

they should do more collaborations. they sound great together
I imagine that McCartney looks up to Neil, as Neil looks up to McCartney. They have a cool little friendship going on. It's amazing when the two of them get together. I'm sure they both realize that too.
I was here, I almost cried
I don't think any musician has been more respected by his peers than Neil Young.
PAUL MCCARTNEY..AND NAIL YOUNG....I LOVE BOTH...GREAT ARTISTS FOR 60 YEARS....THEY KNOW THE GUITAR..FOR EXCELLENCE...THEY HAVE ART...LOVE IT
What I love about this is that both are taking the other into much consideration. Neither one is trying to grab the lead or be the star. In their case and in this particular performance it really appears this attitude is coming from the heart and not a put on.
Paul knows a great song!! I wasn't aware of this. Thank you.
2 Legends...... long may they reign
i feel like crying..i love them both.
Neil and Paul together. Wow!
When they both say the word "love", there is something very special in the way the say it...
Neil's songs often have that special sorrowful tune...sometimes also when he rocks. His songs are in a special division.
We were on the lawn for this show also.. TY so much for posting it
They sound Great together, have loved both for many, many years....
What a thrill it must have been for Neil Young to perform with his idol.
TWO OF THE BEST ROCKERS GETTING IT ON. THE FANS OF THIS GENERATION ARE TRULY BLESTED FOR THE SONGS THEY MADE FOR US TO TRULY ENJOY. ITS NOT A DAY GOES BY SOMEONE IS HUMMING A BEATLES OR A NEIL YOUNG SONG IN THERE HEAD. THANK YOU NEIL AND PAUL. SONGS LIVE FOR EVER. KEEP PLAYING ON AND ON FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO ENJOY.
Wow! What's better than Neil Young and Paul McCartney singing together. It doesn't get any better than this!
Now THAT would be an album I'd like to hear. Paul, Neil and Ringo!!
A melodic hook that even Paul McCartney loved...Damn, they sound so good together
Love that hug at the end, true affection. Great song and a cool rendition.
Amazing. They really should do new material together
What an absolute musical treat!

pattio smith bounce around awesome song
Paul sent Neil a Telegram in 1979 that said "Linda and I have been listening to Live Rust over and over, side four kicks ass. Lotta Love, Paul" ❤
I´am hooked on NY ever since ....
this how the legend roll ..
OMG...bawling my eyes out .....i love this song and with McCartney on it too much for me.. Neil Young may you live forever!!
When Paul McCartney covers your song, that's when you know you're one of the greatest.
I want to cry hearing this song... NY & PMc what a combination..
Two amazingly talented guys! Thanks for posting this.
Glorious. Such a sweet heartfelt lament for loss. And it's easy to imagine Paul thinking of John as he sings the "friend he's never seen/who hides his head inside a dream."
It's a lot easier to imagine him thinking of Jimmy McCullogh.
I love it.
Macca and Neil Young, what talent together, brilliant song
One of the best things I ever saw live!
My favorite Neil Young song. Beautiful.
Two of the greatest artists.
My problem is I often have to hear a song 10 times before I like it, and it always ends up worth it.
some artists can make you cry.
Two of my favorite musicians of all time.... Is this heaven??
Thank you Margaret for posting this absolute gem,,the piano player and backing band are brilliant backing
First time hearing this. Fantastic version love it.
Perfect song for these two

Some songs are so sweet they make you wanna cry. This song is such a song.
This concert is truly the best I will ever see live.
Beautiful rendition. Love the way McCartney sings the low harmony at the end. . .
makes me teary
Awesome. Wow! !!!!!!!!
Paul really does belt it out on "Oh Darling", Neil Young and Paul McCartney play together. This is fantastic.
a Great Neil Classic sang perfectly ! I listened many times to that 1969 album along with " Cawgirl in the sand "
Totally amazing!!!!!!
a genius!!!
The Beatles and Neil Young are amongst my favourite artists. I'm more of a Lennon fan, but McCartney is a genius.
Great to see these 2 legends playing together.
After The Goldrush is just a brilliant album.
My favorites also add Led Zeppelin in their. After The Goldrush Harvest Comes A Time rust never sleeps great albums
Two wonderful icons! It don't get no better than this!
So different in so many ways yet two giants!! Music does bring us all together!
You know, I've heard many a superstar partner up with another fellow superstar, and sometimes their voices don't mesh well. That's not the case here. Their voices are beautiful together! Almost stunning.
My two biggest influences in the same room, sharing the same microphone. I can die happy now.
..the ink in this pen is the Greatest!..two songwriters who are of Heaven!
Two amazing people singing a phenomenal song !
This is a really beatufiul song. Neil Young is amazing. I first discovered his music while I was living in Dominican Republic as a kid, his music reaches all places.
wow! that is awesome! neal young is amazing, as always... and paul does a great job of playing backup.... always the gentlemen and acknowledging other musicians.
Well it was Neil's song.
Only love can break your heart, Neil Young and Macca, great, listen to Cinnamon Girl, Neil Young solo.
