#NeilYoung #NeilYoungReaction
One of the very few artists who can sit on a stage all by himself with a guitar and just move your soul. Neil is truly one of a kind.
I don't know if anyone can strip down their own songs as good as Neil.
Never seen any connection to grunge’
I've never cared for Neil Young's voice, yet he's written some of the most poignant songs ever and I can't imagine them having the same impact with someone else singing them. There is definitely a different level of feeling that he brings to the music.
@@ratdog1310 ever listen to his work with Crazy Horse?
Decades ago at the Live Aid concert all of these rockers came out in their costumes and bs, then Neil walks out on stage by his self in sneakers, blue jeans and a plain white tshirt and his guitar and blew everyone other band away performing ' Needle and The Damage Done '. A bunch of glitter and a chunk of gold.
...ok, that's being too hard on everyone else... still, it was striking.
Neil has always been authentic ~ he made a point over the years to refuse companies that wanted him to endorse their products ~ yet he will fully get involved in causes he believes in ~ like supporting FarmAid & the First Nations ~ he has recorded some really powerful songs like "Ohio"
which to this day still haunts me or "Southern Man"
He & his wife (at the time) Peggy also did an annual concert in S.F. for decades to benefit the special needs school their son went to (he has Cerebral Palsy).
They were called "The Bridge" concerts.
Thank you for the heartfelt reaction Aileen! Though he has lived in the States most of his life Neil was born and raised in Canada and is genuine Canadian treasure! You must react to his song "Heart of Gold" from the same concert, and make sure you watch the intro too, as it shows a lot of his personality. Another one of his songs to get to one day is called "The Needle And The Damage Done". He has been called "The Godfather of Grunge" and I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert opening for Pearl Jam in 1994, a simply amazing concert!
The needle and the damage done. My favorite from Neil.
That does sound like a great concert. I went to a Dave Matthews concert in 2006, maybe 2007, with a "surprise opening guest", damned if it didn't turn out to be Neil Young! Much like your's, it was an awesome show.
You talk to fast....please ...listen to his tempo of the words....
Saw him and Sonic Youth play in 1991. Incredible. Just saw him a few months ago. Still incredible.
@@AdamAmbrose2112 Ya, the "Smell the Horse Tour that was later released as "WELD". I saw that show at the Cincinnati Gardens, I was disappointed at the time because he didn't do any acoustic, but I'm over it now, lol! That was before the internet and after that show I stopped anticipating what the show would be and just let it happen...
One of my favorite lines in any song:
"Doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you."
He doesn't care what someone thinks of him.
@albertsmith93156- I read it different. I think he cares very much about what she thinks of him. He is trying to shake off getting dumped. He is telling himself "its all good, I dont need her, I'm going home to my sanctuary (his ranch- I'm rolling home to you) and I'll be fine". It's one of my favorite lines also. Rallying optimism in the face of grief. The old man made it through similar emotion, and so can I.
@@philipbarton2634 I took it as he was talking to the "old man", not a girl. To me, it explains the separation of generations... young people not trying to impress the people that came before.
The beauty of art is that it can be interpreted differently by those that experience it. Great line.
Favorite song by him.
For some reason it has always touched me emotionally
Me too. When I hear it I envision a lonely "Old Man" with a few regrets who realizes he's near the end of his life and probably wondering what he could've done differently. But that's just me. Neil Young is an amazing song writer and singer. One of the best ever just like Bob Dylan. 🎸
Whole Harvest album is awesome
This is one of the few live performances that's just as good if not better than the popularized studio recording.
Going back through all of this older music with you and anyone else who wasn't around for this sort of music really has been refreshing 😭❤
It's almost like hearing it for the first time again, isn't it?
A fellow Canadian, Neil Young has been a musical chameleon for the length of his long career.
His early work as a member of Buffalo Springfield (Mr. Soul or Broken Arrow) as well as almost everything the band did.
Next, he joined up with Crosby, Stills and Nash. Ohio is a cry of anguish as well as an angry call for change, among so many other great songs from them.
His solo career has been so many different styles and always interesting, poignant and enjoyable. Old Man, Harvest, Heart Of Gold, Like A Hurricane, Down By The River, Cinnamon Girl, Harvest Moon, Long May You Run, Rockin' In The Free World, The Needle And The Damage Done, and so many more.
The imagery in "Powderfinger" always gets me and the guitar playing in "Like a Hurricane" is insanely good. Neil's a legend.
...and then there's "Trans"!
"Down by the river" is a personal favorite.
Classic Neil from the early 1970s. He's 77 now with a very long, rich and creative career. I'm 71 and grew up with his music. As a fellow Canadian we're very proud of him. Listen to "Helpless" Aileen. Love your reaction videos, very interesting inter-generational appreciation.
When I was a youth, 'Heart of Gold' was my jam. I'd listen to the radio hoping for it to play, then singing along as if I wasn't causing harm to my brother's eardrums. 😁 I did not know it was Neil Young until I was much older, but it is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for another great reaction, good fortune!
This performance and this song embodies a singer/songwriter at their craft. So glad you enjoyed that. Other Neil songs…”Needle and the Damage done”, “Southern Man” & “Heart of Gold”.
Good choices.
All fantastic songs, Neil can really tell you a story while you are getting into his songs.
Niel is considered the "Godfather of Grunge" which is the most accurate description in the evolution of music,.. in my opinion 😅🌀
That's cool, I never thought about it, but it does establish many of the core elements of that later genre. Thanks for that data!
wow, totally true...after seeing this i put two and two together...this is exactly like Kurt during their unplugged all those years later...so awesome!!! gives me a new appreciation for Neil
Neil Young is not grunge. Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Folk music is the best description
Wow. Thanks for that. I’ll never hear him again without that thought popping into my head.
Maybe, but he's so much more than that! Classic rocker, amazing musician, protest artist and antagonist, folk singer and on anad on !!!
It’s crazy how when he’s done, you realize it was just him and his guitar. He is a master of both instruments. Great reaction!
Now do CSNY doing “Ohio” which Neil wrote in the days after the shocking & horrific Kent State massacre.
There is absolutely emotion in guitar playing! And it's fascinating to hear a player's personality come through in their music
Neil Young has been a favorite for many years . Just wait until you hear My My Hey Hey , but then you'll have to hear Hey Hey , My My !!
I was in my mid teens in Canada when this song and the Harvest album came out played it on repeat. You should know there's other songs on this album I think you'd like. Neil Young is a Canadian icon for many of us who have followed his career on a parallel path. Thank you for such a wonderful reaction. I loved your words and appreciate your passion for music you are awesome. 🤟🤘
Sorry Terry, he is an American icon now, he's got a U.S. Citizenship about 7 years ago, but you shared with us so we can do the same, I've seen him literally a dozen times!
@@marke8323 Yes I knew that and as your CBB ( cross boarder buddies ) we have no problem sharing with you especially when it comes to music. I'm impressed you saw him so many times that's very cool. Cheers
@@marke8323 You don't generally relinquish your original citizenship when you gain a new one. I know this because I'm dual UK and Canadian. Neil is still very Canadian, not only because of his roots and where he was raised, but also in the elements and content and perspective of the songs he writes: see "Ambulance Blues" and "Helpless," just for two examples. Neil is still thought of as a Canadian artist by most music fans, I think. I mean, he's even associated with plaid flannel shirts, the style of loggers everywhere. 😉
Neil Young sings straight into your soul.
Heart of Gold from this same show is somehow even better, he sings, plays guitar, harmonica while keeping time with his foot 🦶 don’t miss it
The one song he hated.
Thank you for your heartfelt comments Aileen....the more I listen to this one, the more I think it's the greatest solo acoustic performance EVER! Utterly amazing. You can't believe that one person with an acoustic guitar can do that.
"Heart of Gold" from this recording is also pretty cool. Guitar, Singing and Harmonica.
Yes, yes, yes! He's truly a wizard of songwriting, arrangement and delivery. His dynamics, lyrics, singing and playing style are SO powerful, it's incredible what he can do with only an acoustic guitar. Keep going with Neil, he has so much more for you to discover! Beautiful video!!
Neil Young is one of Canada's gems. Look at his song book gorgeous, there's lots of treasures. Neil Young is one of the best singer songwriters of his and any generation! 👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋🦊🦊🦊🦊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Pure Neil Young greatness! I'm 66 years old and have been a fan of Neil Young since his days as a member of "Buffalo Springfield" along with Stephen Stills, both future members of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Look up the story behind this song. It's such a human experience.
I agree Aileen, the guitar part is profound and sophisticated, and says as much as the vocal. Beautiful guitar work, wonderful song. Neil's voice in this performance sounds about as good as I've ever heard it as well.. Very clear and nice tone.
This was ‘72. So young, so gifted!
Good fishin' music right here. Blue gills love it.
Neil Young has a vast and awesome library of songs. One of my generations true poet's. Some of my favorites - 'Harvest Moon', 'Like a Hurricane', 'The Needle and the Damage Done', & 'Long may you run'. Congratulations! Your at the beginning of being introduced to some frickin' amazing music Enjoy! 👍
What a great reaction! You are perfect at reviewing music, as you really feel it. Not all do. Thanks for another great review Aileen. 👌

Love Neil Young. If you ever do him again make sure to check out "Heart of Gold"
Neil Young always has a soulful deep song!! Awesome!!
Neil young is the best glad you were able to react to this
He has a beautiful voice as well as playing the guitar so well.
The beautiful simplicity of an acoustic guitar, a passionate voice, and a story from the depths of one's soul...
You would love Neil's song "Cinnamon Girl" - it's about a beautiful girl who looks like a Bright Angel like you. Also 'Only Love Can Break
Your Heart", "Cortez The Killer", and "Harvest Moon".
Do more Neil. Love it. You really got the song.😍🇨🇦👍
Buy the DVD Live at Massey Hall. What a show and recording. Neil is truly one of the greats.
Thank you for this reaction!!!
My brother used to listen to this song all the time this one and Heart of gold by Neil
We played both songs at my brother's funeral he passed from a car accident in 2016
Again thank you😢
Aileen, it's so remarkable to watch you listen to & watch these performances. It's clearly evident that you experience these gems with open ears, open mind & an open soul, allowing the music, the lyrics and the artist(s)' expression to be absorbed into yourself and then quite passionately & accurately emitted to your viewers through your vocabulary & emotions. I never tire of watching your videos. We all treasure you immensely and you brighten our days without fail.
My favorite Neil Young song is "Harvest Moon." It's the story of long-time lovers growing old together. It's pretty much the story of my wife and I, so it means a lot to us. I recommend it.
Neil is one of the very best (imho), he was a very successful folk singer who scored hit after hit with his wordsmith abilities and acoustic guitar and harmonica skills.
And then he broke the biggest rule in folk music, "thou shall not use electrical amplified guitars", and he introduced electric guitar and rock into his musical catalog.
This could've killed his career, if he wasn't Neil Young.. because, the man is a musical genius and gave us countless of amazing songs.
A few to keep in mind : "Heart of gold", "Needle and the damage done", "Rocking in the free world", "Harvest moon", "Southern man" (which prompted a reply from Lynyrd Skynyrd with the song "Sweet home Alabama"), "Ohio", "Like a hurricane", and "Powderfinger" are all songs you should check out at some time, you'll love them and hear all "shades of Neil" in that selection.
Aileen you nailed this reaction.
Cinnamon Girl is another side of Neils music talent..🎸🎶☮️
50 PLUS YEARS listening to Neil... he like Bob Dylan very gifted musicians, they're legends! Like the Beatles their music will be relevant for decades to come. So much music of his to explore! You are in for an experience of great rock n roll music, both acoustic and electric! You know, talking about electric, just for grins, the thing is there's so many, but nevertheless, if you like to get an idea of his electric side, search on UA-cam for Cinnamon Girl. There's several, both acoustic and electric. Look for the electric version titled "Neil You & Crazy Horse - Cinnamon Girl (live 1991in real HD) Fun rock n roll video to watch! As a suggestion, Rolling Stone had a special edition of Neil couple of years ago. His life, and their take of his top 100 songs. They missed about 17, that I contacted them about them in no uncertain terms.... lol! Should have been at least his top 125! Since you asked, hopefully you can find the edition from Rolling Stone, there you'll find a treasure trove of of songs. However like I said there's at least 17 I came up with that should have made the list. Nice reaction Aileen. I see you covered Old Man just couple of days ago and first time seeing your channel... I subscribed because of your reaction to NY! Good job girlfriend! Peace, Love & Groovy Tunes!
You should check out Like a Hurricane by Neil Young! Very powerful love song!
Love this song but this particular version really hits different, so good!
I make a point to return to Neil Young every so often. When I need to put my life back into perspective, there are very few who can genuinely accomplish that for me. A true LEGEND!
That's as real and genuine as it gets.
I grew up with artists like Neil Young. Such great talent. Love his music 🎶
LOL Aileen. Wait until you are 57. 24 still seems like yesterday. Love your reactions. They are so full of passion!
"the intensity" Us music folks call that dynamics! I really enjoy your reactions. You really give intelligent commentary. And you can tell when you genuinely dig it. ❤
Great Reaction! He has so many good songs. "Ohio, Heart of Gold, Needle and the damage Done". You are so spot on young lady✌️
Wonderful reaction! Another absolute gem from Neil Young: "POCAHONTAS"... a totally mesmerizing, haunting song with incredible lyrical beauty.
There are many different "Neil Young's" as his career has had many facets and dipped his toes in many genres and worn many hats literally and figuratively, but the two main "Neil's" are the folky Neil (as seen here) and the hard-rocking guitar-distorted Neil with his band Crazy Horse which earned him the title of the "Godfather of Grunge". All facets of his career are worth checking out.
Neil Young’s album “After the Gold Rush “ is amazing. The title song and “Southern Man” are classics as well other songs on this epic album. Yes, really.
Neil is among dozens of artists from the era who played acoustic guitar and wrote/sang songs. Some made it big, most didn’t.
Heart Of Gold, from the same concert is also a great song by him!
Great reaction Aileen you 😊Old man is a phenomenal song neil young a rock legend it's eloquent and beautifully written Neill conveyancing emotions perfectly
It makes perfect sense!!
I love all of your genuinely emotional reactions. Helps me feel music again that I’ve gotten used to, and listened to so many times, the emotion has faded. You help renew the emotional reaction and attachment to this music (especially Pink Floyd!).
Oh and you are absolutely gorgeous.
Such an honest reaction, wonderful to watch. It means a lot to see this mean so much to you.
Neil is very young here (maybe 24?), but he had a old soul already. The power of art to move emotions is genuine, and he's had that magic from an early age. Now that I'm 60 and been listiening to him most of my life, along with many other artists, I cannot imagine a life without this kind of music in it.
Very true. Never really thought about that. Thank God for the Neil Youngs and Bob Dylans. You kinda look like Eric Clapton yourself lol 👍
Such a beautiful emotional reaction Aileen. I love watching you youngsters reacting to music the way I did so many years ago. Great lyrics, voice with simple guitar playing done to perfection. Neil could rock but go way back. He has a ton of great, moving acoustic songs.
GOD BLESS YOU GIRL!
Thank you for paying homage to an artist that inspired so many in reflection of the past!
peace
Brings back memories thank you ❤❤
Neil Young and James Taylor two master acoustic guitar players.
My goodness. Wonderful reaction to a beautiful song. This song came out when I was 14. I'm 65 now and it still makes me smile as I remember my youth, the "old men" I worked with and my life now with my ever growing family, children, and grandchildren. Perhaps there is a pang of jealousy that I'm no longer that young man, but it quickly goes away when I reflect on everything that has come to me in my life. Thank you, yet again for sharing your reactions to what, art least to me, weas some of the greatest music ever made.
Thank you Canada!
Neil is a legend, so such a smart writer and a fantastic musician
Neil Young Is Such Genuine Person/Artist
Love this live version. Nice one, Aileen. 🙂
Neil has one of my all time favorite voices
He has so many great songs. Ohio, Needle and the Damage Done, and Southern Man are some of my favorites by him.
Neil was an old soul. A deep dark well at a young age. Now that's he's old, he's settled, but back in the day he was a true artist. Btw, he still lives on the same ranch.
Needle and the Damage Done, and Don't Let it Bring You Down are two of my favorites. Neil is absolutely great. I got to see him in concert in 2019.
Awesome makes me cry
Aileen, you do a wonderful job of reacting to videos. Thank you.
always gets me ❤
So nice to see you get it
Heart of Gold! Must listen.
Great reaction Aileen, may I also recommend "The Needle & the Damage Done" from the same performance.
I'm staring at my father as I play this song, he is at his time soon. I'm playing this song, praying, hoping I have him for just another moon.
I first listened to this in 1971 and today I am 71 and the feeling with this song stays the same.....
Would also suggest "Cinnamon Girl" and "Down By the River" and "Long May You Run." So many great tunes from Neil - songwriter, poet, musician, singer.
I love the guitar acoustic mastery here this is sick
Notice that he has the complete attention of the auditorium. Just him and a guitar, nothing else.
Totally agree. Love his acoustics!
Great reaction. Your description about life is perfect.
Crank Neil! Was just listening to my On The Beach CD ... one of my favs
Great reaction the audio is the best I’ve heard on a reaction video !
Aileen
Neil Young has and his backup band jammed this song.
Alieen, I was lucky enough to take my Dad to the Sydney Big Day Out 2011? we listened to this song. I'll take it to the grave with me as one of the most 'connecting moments' we've had. Seeing one of my Dads' hero's and what a song. check out' Heart of Gold'!
Neil Young is now an old man. And hasn't changed a bit. So wise at such a young age.
Definitely check out "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young, especially from the same BBC Session.
M glad you done this.
Neil is such a masterful lyricist and story teller. You gotta hear more!
Thanx! Beautiful and touching reaction to a beautiful touching song!
saw him in concert in college in 81 at Carmichael Coliseum in Chapel Hill...Needle and the Damage Done and Heart of Gold from this show are outstanding....you can also check out his "Unplugged" session on MTV from 80's...he is one of the greatest songwriters in history...thanks!!
