  • good job.......cool RUSH shirt

  • Dude... I saw Neil Young do this on and old SNL show last night and thought it was really nice, so I wanted to find it on Y.T. I clicked on your cover version and I must say you really did this song justice. I play and sing a little myself and it's really hard to copy Neil young. You did and excellent job... love it!!!

  • Dude... I just saw Neil Young on an old SNL show and he played this song. I really liked it so I thought I would look for it on Y.T. Clicked on your cover and I have tyo say you really did this song justice. Excellent!!!

  • Your voice is absolutely stunning

  • I'm picky and I love what you did with Neil's song. Have felt that way for a long time.

  • That link to an original does not work. Lets get some real studio quality going with the video.

  • That link to an original does not work.

  • Great job.

  • nice

  • Great voice and a Rush fan as well. Nice job!

  • Excellent. I am a Neil Young fan forever seen him in concert over 25 times.

    You did a great job with this song.

    Very nice.

  • Quite poignant playing! Especially while thinking about Neils aneurism when he wrote the song/album. ~cr5

  • Nice man, great voice and great rythm guitar.

    By the way can you check on my neil Y. covers? or I invite you listeners or Neil Young fans to do it

    thanks

  • great job young man... keep it up

  • That was really good!

  • nice! very good cover of an awesome song by a great artist

  • rock on man!

    awesome, enjoyed it very much.

  • good job =]

  • I'm all about that Rush T-shirt, man. YEs!

  • Beautiful job . I do a bunch of neil young covers too if ya want to check them out :)

  • this is beautiful. i've loved it since i heard you cover it about 2 years ago? love the shirt too ;)

  • much better than most covers ive seen, look at liloveny's version, its him doing milli vanilli to neil young

  • better voice than Neil

  • Cmon now. Good job, but when you sing "only"...you're supposed to go up on the second syllable. You do it backwards. I don't agree w/ the vibrato at the end of almost every line, too. Good job nonetheless, I will check out more!

  • Wow, not only can you play but you're smokin' cute :D Nice voice too, you did a great version.

  • hey man great cover i heard him do it on snl too and i was like oh man this is great.

  • brilliant performance.

    does anyone know where i could download this song, please post reply link

    :D thankyou and well done with your singing :D

  • WOW !! You are so very talented !

  • Beautiful just beautiful. You are so very talented and as I commented on your Blue video, your voice is strikingly similar to Dan Fogelberg's even on this Neil song.

  • Im pretty sure thats a RUSH shirt! Great cover and great taste in canadian music.

  • You look , sound .. so fimiliar ..

    peaceful performance , 5/5 stars =]

  • Matt,

    I always love watching you perform this song. You do such a beautiful job! Congratulations on the summer tour! I love you!

  • great great vocal, even more tender and gentle than the original if you ask me (and no I'm not a homo!)

  • is this chris sarvek?

  • doing this cover i mean

  • good job. love this song. nice voice

  • Wow that was great thats was almost as good as neil himself you brought a tear to my eye and i think ya for playing this song

  • good job man. love this song.

  • i like the rush shirt, nice touch

    overall very impressed but i found at least twice you were out of breath at the end of the verses... this tends to take the listener away from the story - it makes it seem as though you are telling someone else's story... witch you are and that makes this more confusing.

    great job 9 / 10 !!!!!!!!!!

  • its fantastic how can you criticise?

  • I really like this preformance of a great song by a legendary musical storyteller. To be honest I didn't expect much to begin with, but you really put the needed "emotion," for lack of a better word, in to the song. It's not Neil, but it's a very close second. Good Job.

  • I'm impressed.

  • does anyone here have the footage from snl...im looking specifically for "he was the king" can anyone help

  • Very, very nice.

  • At this moment they are replaying Neil Young's appearance on SNL where he does this song. I loved it the first time he did it, and it is a nice song the second time around. Great job on the cover.

  • keep on rocking in the free world! Awesome!

  • You did a fantastic sing on this song!!!!!!

  • Lovely vocals. This is one of my favourite off Prarie Wind, and your vocals were just so beautifil. Really well done.

  • that just blew me away thanks for the chords i hope i can put as much passion into it as you that came from the heart thanks for that

  • Bravo! I first saw Neil perform this for the Katrina Benefit (had to wipe a few tears), then I saw him perform it on SNL, and it stuck with me too. Beautiful song.

  • Sounds good, do you playing anything off Living With War? Are you going to see CSNY this year? 101 Neil shows for me

  • very nice, dude!

  • I love this song, probably my favourite off the new album....good performance

  • very good performance- you were in the song. thanks!

  • youre a stoned hippie

  • Glasses, long hair, and a Rush shirt. That makes you Geddy Lee. Just like long scraggily hair, muttonchop sidies and a lumberjack shirt makes someone Neil Young.

  • That Rush shirt reminds me that you look like Geddy Lee. You poor bastard.

  • come on, my nose isn't that big.
