Live 8 CANADA Neil Young

[guitarrox]

Makes me Proud to be a Canadian Rocker FUCKIN EH !!!

[vaughnsalem]

I just wish Joni Mitchell had been there ,she was the classic Canadian like Gordon and Neil,damn she is good

[motorhead19651]

The Mighty Peculiars always close our show with an extra loud version of Rockin in the free world for all those people who are under the delusion that they are actually living in a free world :)

[javelin1010]

Poor Gordon Lightfoot. Have seen both him and Neil Live. Great shows. Great Canadians.

[MuskieMcKay]

I remember watching this live. The lead guitarist knew his Neal licks but I didn't know him. Lots of good guitar players, including Bruce Cockburne without even a guitar. Neil usually doesn't give away guitar solos to just anyone...

[bigbananafeet]

Fan Da Bee Dozee. What a rocker.

[kizzle1985]

abviously no rehearsal

butt great performance

keep on rockin peoplz!

[leofly69]

mamm'è ddo carmine!!!! neil sì grande!!! (from naples-italy)

[junglejim007]

Gord Downie was into it.......thanks man. The Tragically Hip will always be associated with Canada.

[junglejim007]

This version and lineup, should be the new Canadian anthem.......

[bloopsalot]

I just hate the fact that fag from Buckcherry is considered a fucking musician .. god what is wrong with people.

[clonecomanderfox]

Go Barrie!

[allcanadianmusic]

Awesome footage! Wow! Thanks for posting this SuzyShowtime. There are so many of my favorite Canadian musicians on here.. Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo.. absolutely fantastic. The crowds lovin it. Keep on rockin in the free world :)) And nice to hear O' Canada at the end too. Cheers!

[macmaghnusa]

The tosser with the tattoos needs to take a back seat...

[040324246]

Neil young is a living legend

[tallmarc]

This was a clusterf*** but so classic!!!!

[omjurmom96]

josh todd lolwut

[fandeneilyoung]

Vive le Canada et le Québec Libre

[ZERVIAN]

@fandeneilyoung screw quebec

[Pinkertism]

@ZERVIAN Screw you man. I'm neither Canadian nor Quebecois, but Neil surely don't teach his listeners to hate eachothers.

[vankog]

if one judges from canada's artists, canadians must be really cool people

[slikkar]

Joshua Todd did it really well....

[SlingerMarshall]

neil young is a canadian!?

[soundboysoul]

Was Nardwaur in attendance?

[icutu71]

why does he not play the last verse in the original??

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@icutu71 why is an egg round ? Who knows but a lot of artists dont play full versions of songs for somne reason....Example" The Kinks--Hollywood Boulevard 9always missing the last verse live), Jethro Tull--Buingle in the Jungle (Always a short version never complete.

[ty3165]

lots of good weed smoked there i bet

[FattestJack]

@ty3165 Yeah... I was there

[monza7800]

Lettermans piano player made this unique.

[kingsteve55]

Made me proud to be Canadian when i saw this.

[lordblader29]

was in the hospital watchin this epic beauty

[amrvr6]

epic

[thedevilssympathy]

At 1 min 24secs, Thats all of JET at the one mic. I love JEt man and Neil young this is awsome

[IonSpringfield]

HOW DID I EVER MISS THIS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED! Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Barenaked Ladies on the same stage!

[Teyssou]

who is the blond guy who sings the second verse?

[19SISYS50]

@Teyssou ,

the blond guy with the tatoos is JOSH TODD, singer and frontman from BUCKCHERRY.

[KennyBlueEyes]

Suzy...Thank You!!!!!!!!!

[shesjustnear]

Poor Gordon Lightfoot

[HarryG107]

@shesjustnear Why? He looks happy

[fergy623]

this probably was the highlight of any song. at least it fit with Free world

[ComfortabIyNumb]

This has got to be one of the best moments across the entire of live 8. WIsh they had of done somethingt worldwide via video with other countries taking part in one of the best canadian tunes of all time

[menandmice]

Who is this young guy with tattooes singing?

[19SISYS50]

@menandmice , JOSH TODD from BUCKCHERRY

[HarryG107]

who's the girl w/ black tee at :53? She's hot

[mikecappa]

buddy with the tats mic isn't on haha

[Gravecrucifix666]

I am so happy that a man like Neil Young was born in Canada. I am especially proud he retained his Canadian citizenship. But I wouldnt say hes only Canadian, more like a North American, there is no way Neil Young would be the singer he is today without him moving to the south and being influenced by American hard ship at the time.

[babyshambles4life]

this version gives me chills

[customer667788]

claaat!!!

[ramilo11]

your the KING,,,neil young

[Lennon4life1968]

Neil,Rush and Gordon Lightfoot...can you imagine the stories they could tell...

[numptycentral]

you gotta love Neil

[IRONMAIDENrockinrio]

absolutly nice performance

[kwwkjock]

this is the first time I have ever seen Neil use a Taylor 6 string........................­....cool!

(he musta borrowed it last minute)

[EccentricFrog]

are these all of the popular musicians in canada? i don't recognize any of them! except good ol neil young of course

[EccentricFrog]

and... gordon lightfoot?

[fumbler8]

At a quick glance...Gordon Lightfoot, Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts, Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Barenaked Ladies...

[mattysavs]

There's a couple american bands up there too........but yeah it's mostly Canadian's, alot of great musicians that don't get alot of exposure down south......

[Annonymus121]

Umm there is God Downie From the tragically hip singing with him

[Petey2573]

I think Josh Todd was the saving grace in this performance. Some of those guys sounded like drunks doing kareokee. Josh's unique hard rock voice added such a nice element to it. I actually wish they let him do most if not the entire song.

[jastgermain]

that guy with the tattoos fucking sucks

[ralphpatterdale]

Yeah you should replace the canadian patches you put on your backpacks with Neil young patches, everyone would say wow there the cool people

[acaftermath]

proud to be canadian!!

[bnlgeekychic]

Quite a few of my favourite bands here...who the hell is that tattooed guy? is that meg ryan post op?

[tonyrubicon]

SINGER FROM BUCKCHERRY

[bnlgeekychic]

Explains why I dislike him.

[gclafontaine]

They destroyed this song. Who's stupid idea was it to do this song in the ridiculous tradition of "We Are the World"?

[shalylol]

What a coincidence, the only people who mention that Neil Young's Canadian are Canadians :O. Stop with the nationalist bullshit guys. Congrats on being born within the same 9.9 million square km's as a musician. I was born in Vancouver but that's closer to Tijuana, Mexico than where he was born, they're trivial lines.

[purearmagedon]

Hey man, Were proud of Neil young! Canadians Are proud of him man, And Rush, Likst c'mon. 2 great musicians come outta canada. Along with Dallas Green in My opinion. But i was born in Winnipeg just like Neil young and im a musician, It gives me hope that i can make it as big as he has.

[Hematocheziawhiz]

2 great musicians? haha... dumbass

[sean5775gmail]

@purearmagedon  Neil Young was not born in Winnipeg.

[quedorf]

It is all pretty simple. Neil Percival Young was born in Toronto on November 12 1945. Lived in Omemee about 120 km's from Toronto. Moved to Winnipeg when he was 12 with his mom Edna (Rassy). He is Canadian, and damn proud of the fact.

And just to reiterate the fact, he is the greatest rock legend on this planet, and possibly most of the others.

[MsLinpin]

Whe do people say the most stupid things Young is Canadian through and through!!! His father was a very famous Canadian journalist and author Scott Young from Toronto, Ontario and that is exactly where Neil Young was born!!! Why do people make such dumb comments before checking things out wtf!!!!!!!

[Stereophile11]

GORDON LIGHTFOOT IS AWESOME

[Rigel66]

I have to laugh at Lightfoot in the background!....Neil ROCKS!

[ctomps9]

Are people actually questioning whether or not Neil Young is Canadian ....seriously... Canadian born and raised, established himself as a musician in Winnipeg. He may live in northern Cali now but has never let go of his Canadian passport or tried to get an American passport...Canadian through and through!

[ParkerGiesbrecht]

@ctomps9 vote up.. neil for prime minister haha

[jack15876]

Neil Young is cool man

[mysticradio]

a bit of a train wreck after the lead break.... but THATS NEILS SOUND MAN.. lol... rock on

[chrissept21]

[disconnected22]

[Brigglz]

KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD !!!!!

[serafar]

But as long as every country has its own military and as long there are borders we will never be free till we die...Great song GREAT !

[sportsandbeer]

Gordie and Neil best combo EVER!

[jlsmsu12]

I see Gordon Lightfoot standing behind Neil

[SWAC424]

[JOnathanCharrier]

[fmjiceman]

[hairmetal1990]

he shoulda played electric

[MizzHayley46]

Oh, this was sooo fun! I'm actually in this video! We toured w/ Neil Young during this time!

[dqami]

They should have called the concert Live Eh

[junkie4vids]

Barenaked Ladies at around 3:23

[JonB83]

LOL Neil must of been like, "ohhhh nooo my song, you guys are turning it to shit!"

[Newwaver2007]

lol :P

Yah the song should end in meyhem electric noise and loud feedback :P

[blanch5001]

The blonde guy with sun glasses and the black tee is Greg Keelor and the guy beside him in the green tee is Jim Cuddy...both of Blue Rodeo

[vaughnsalem]

Neil is not old ,he is Young ,forever

[noxtic]

the guy on the piano is bob packwood ex bluerodeo keyboard player

[extranosito]

I went to that concert and it was one of the best moments of my life, they rock

[nedloggerg]

that "old guy with the acoustic guitar" is the writer, and performer of this song, Mr. Neil Young.

[ParkerGiesbrecht]

@nedloggerg that old guy with the acoustic guitar is my hero haha

[xBaitMyScenex]

no way is that freak better than neil young

[Petey2573]

I agree

[latinperuvian2009]

Hey guys, could you please let me know the names of these singers. I can recognize Neil Young, but unfortunately, I can't recognize the other singers. For example, who's the guy next to him with the tattoos, the one with the blue shirt, the one with an elegant jacket, the blonde gal on the back, the black guys (they seem to be a band), the guy with the green t-shirt and a guitar, the one with sunglasses, the guy on the piano, etc.

[substitute91]

yes, could someone please give their names? they all are most probably Canadian singers.

[19SISYS50]

Hi latinperuvian2009

the blond guy with tatoos is Josh Todd, former frontman BUCKCHERRY,

Blue Shirt = Bruce Cockburm

Elegant Jacket = Tyler Stewart, singer from BARENAKED LADIES.

[DanChillinTime]

Not former frontman . He is the frontman for buckcherry and always has been

[shuerkan]

the one with green shirt and a guitar , name is rick springfield i guess !..... but i am not %100 , lets say i am & 80 sure... :))

anyway , even he is not ! , try him ......

bye now......

[ccj1997]

blue shirt, bruce coburn, elegant jacket-gord downy-tragically hip,blonde gal-neils wife peg,green shirt-jim cuddy blue rodeo, sunglasses-steven page bare-naked ladies,gordon lightfoot (old guy)

[airdriver]

gordon lightfoot(old guy)? Well, I guess.

[YALETOWNHOTEL]

Deep Purple were there too.

[spudy5]

does anyone know who is twinkling the ivory in the background?

[onebitchisback]

The best part is 1:58 when that sexy motherfucker Josh Todd from BUCKCHERRY starts singing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onebitchisback]

Does anyone know where to find Aerosmith "Walk This Way" which was done "LIVE CANADA"

I think at this thing?????

[Enviro55]

the look on gord's face at :57 is awsome

[Rocknpeace101]

obviously blast6 furnace is not familiar with gord downie and the tragically hip not to mention lightfoot

[Rocknpeace101]

glad he played canadas show

[gr8cutter]

them spooks dont even know he is

[Molejunkie]

I worked this event, worked pretty much all the concerts in Molson Park from 2000 on. Had to leave during Run DMC thanks to a bad sunburn

[torontomapleleafer]

Man, I live like a minute away for Molson Park where they had Live 8 Canada, and Neil Young was a fucking BLAST to dance to. I got such a sun burn and a mild heat stroke that day, but it was worth it to see Neil Young!

[BlastFurnaceCanada]

Hard to imagine Neil Young sharing the same stage as Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn and so many others. Too bad Celine was too busy to fly out of Vegas for just ONE DAY -- then again, her glass shattering voice would have ruined the whole thing.

[gdsamuel1]

It makes me feel uncomfortable seeing Neil on stage with this bunch of no marks. I know it's for a good cause but it's just horrible to watch these wasters ruining a great song.

[minoustudio]

nice, Thanks!

[phishphreak29]

these people dont even deserve to be on stage with neil. neil is a musical god

[jeffcole80]

i wish this fucking looser from buckcherry would just go away already

[renaud68]

haha, YES indeed

[RyanTerrancePScott]

man can you imagine having that many different artists and people singing your song at a live aid concert

[kstone]

Josh Todd's in yer face rock n' roll singin' really complimented Neil Young's song. I love how Josh around the 5min mark is scroungin' around for a louder mic.

[pghpa611]

The time is here Do you feel the beat No longer is the moment near Its Happening NOW And you are part of history The AGE Of Enlightenment Is Upon Us Remember these days Soon The Pain Will Go Away No Longer Will There Be Hunger Its within our graspe to change Do Something positive Today Be Part of The Movement The Time Is Now Its Happening Its Already Begun

[motown250]

[liljgoneman]

[1952ARONIA]

[MichalVolak]

[jeffcole80]

[Nightfall95]

Wow this is amazing, and its so cool to see one of Canada's Legends rocking along with Neil and everyone: Gordon Lightfoot.

[111oooo]

Young and Lightfoot on the same stage. Awesome to see.

[Matt120891]

Whoo! Canada!  Greatest place to live!

[gr8cutter]

[misstiffany101winner]

Who is the dude in the blue shirt? It is driving me crazy! please help! thanks.

[vagabondsongs]

I think that it is Bruce Coburn.. but don't quote me on that one....

[vaughnsalem]

yes ,thats Bruce Cockburn , he is great,so nice to see him singing with this

[vagabondsongs]

but he wouldn't have looked that old in '84... sorry....

[browndog36]

this isnt 84, it was like 5 years ago

[seaborn1963]

Too bad he didn´t have a guitar strapped on, one of the best right hands in guitar world..! That´s Bruce all right !

[lanceneubauer]

your wrong richardchan

[mrdube666]

i just love how gordon lightfoot stands there and claps, he looks like he is having a blast.

[jjaappii]

1 word...

FANTASTIC !!!!!

[ups444]

super....

[mulefa]

Nah I'll bet Neil Young hates troops especially paid murdering coperate fucks in the middle east.
