Neil Young BBC Concert 1971 - Part Three

[89mega89able]

He is so funny

[rocktunes]

Don't worry. The good music is coming back. It has to!

[bitterblue8]

Just about lost it when he tuned it! LOVE this concert, everything from it! Thank you so much for posting all four segments! :D

[descreet]

I'm not sure, but I guess this was the "Hitchhiker" period.

[ralffran]

DUAL BBC CUPS ON MY PIANO.

[SuperBlackMoth]

@ralffran LIKE A BOSS



[youngian67]

Fantastic TV concert. The BBC left this in their vaults for years, got it out in early 90s and have been showing it occasionally ever since. There is also a Joni Mitchell one in the same series in which she is previewing material that was to show up on Blue.

[lucky3350]

Absolutely awesome

[ENTREELCENTENO]

this is such a particular concert that makes me remember my chilhood make me feel happy and kind of sad nice man

[CLOVEBALL]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[ryan06105]

Why does he always talk about America as if he's an American?

[siglino]

@ryan06105 Canadians are American. North American. we share the continent with our Canadian neighbors to the North.

[jennahbbarry]

@siglino hahahahaha what does that mean?

[AcuteSchizophrenia]

To compose such music at such a young age! Here is an old soul, returned to earth to fill our lives with joy. No one's music has touched my soul as deeply as Neil's. I am forever grateful to ya Neil!

[KaitlynBenx]

Better idea about Russian women gettop5.info

[alvaritro]

I'm 23 and I love music... i've been through a lot of shit in my life... these past 6 years have been like hell... the only thing I regret is never had met Mr. Young before in my short life... Such an inspiration.. so unique makes me cry in my soul.. all I can think right now is to show him and share this concert with my whole family so we can connect our emotions... WE ARE STILL RIGHT HERE... its only casttle's burning.. Thanks you Neil.. you are the best...

[ezalburez]

He still gives me chills! Such talent. It is holy.

[ANDEEDEE1]

Such an abstract person .

[Wizard421]

its so cool how neil can play so softly and calm and then in his later years be named the grandfather of grunge, fuckin talent man

[devastationwagon]

painfully great.

[KDawgJamz]

That was the best part of show as far as I'm concerned.

[stewartakaryan]

the one thing i see on youtube these days are "music isint the same" or "todays music sucks" people bitch about it all the time...dont get me wrong I totaly agreethat todays music totally blows BUT nobody's taking that step forward to change this generations music, as sad as it is.....we need someone who has a diffrent opinion on music and a diffrent feeling on how music should be expressed. so basically we need someone who dosent suck.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@stewartakaryan well you've just got to look for it. it would be a very sad state of affairs if there was no one who's doing that. john frusciante said that rock music has become stagnant. i agree. try something different

[bobertsix]

@fuckamericanidiot

John frusciante is in my top three of all time musicians behind Neil and Curt Kirkwood of the meat puppets. That being said I have a lot of respect for his music even the last record with Omar awesome! but thats a really dumb thing to say. You know the old beauty is in the eye of the beholder statement the good stuff is out there if you want to hear it. I think Johns been doing to much yoga and needs a hit from the bong.

[smiley19912]

Thank you, I put all 4 parts in my favorites list.

[DISKHNT]

he is amazing

[hemet92544]

This show needs to be on DVD!!!!!!!

[stobydoooo]

_April 30, 2010_I can't believe I found this treasurebox here either! In a word: Beautiful. I enjoy the clips often. My oldest son is terribly talented and at 27, looks so much now like our young Neil does here (so to speak) even his mannerism and humor are so closely met...I Love that!! Plays amazing guitar, composes & is self taught, too! Both Orion and Neil are most unique & talented individuals. Pretty handsome (so to speak,) too & like a treat, are The Kind!

[luigicaudiero]

meraviglioso..... better than the LP( because I got the LP...)

[coijoi]

thanks 4 sharing"

[2468oldschooltimes]

you see, back then these old school musicians expressed what they felt with no concern what they were paid or all of the other hype crap of today. they did it out of love and heart.

[tmc515]

Blown away! w/ goosebumps to-boot.

[thinkinoutloud123]

Wonderful!

[bobboc61]

I'm from an older generation I guess, that grew up with this kinda great music. Good to see the younger generation latch on. Guess they don't like the shit the radio sttions force on you. Long live Neil !!

[hz1091]

today's music makes no sense to me.  This makes perfect sense.

[tundracat24]

Thanks for posting these - haven't listened to Neil in a while. Good to be reaquainted with his music, it's fantastic!

[indiansummermusic]

I think A Man Needs A Man is now one of my favorites by Neil. There needs to be great lyrics and passion if I'm going to listen to a song

[mark11488]

best voice ever !!!!long time ago...

[Grado2003]

Vincent Van Gogh couldn't paint a better picture then Neil Young.

[rcephuk]

Neil Young Your music are Legend!!! Nothing compare

[billyscottbrandt]

I saw Neil a few times in those years...his power filled every space of my being...now i remember why...

[11xzxzxz]

The morning paper flies with the answer in hand is that NEIL YOUNG is the BEST ever.

[pj1974]

i can't get over how intimate and personal this version of "a man needs a maid" is.

[cnrhilton]

Thanks so much for posting this BBC concert! I grew up in the 70's and my older brother was a Neil Young fan, but I have only recently begun to appreciate his music. This is a treasure!!

[univibe23]

Neil is a treasure! What a talent. We just don't see this kind of performer these days. The late 60's and early 70's were full of strife and chaos but the music was sublime. Don't know that we'll see the likes of it again. Justin Timberlake is what we get. Bring the sexy back bring the sexy back! BRING THE MUSIC BACK!

[daaane]

Its a shame because I feel like there are probably artists out there now that are as good as there were back then, but the record companies dont want to gamble on their marketability.

[kane966]

Agree completely, Music that is considered great today is a load of shit. The problem is that the majority of the world and music lovers are idiots and are willing to listen to shit like that.

[SleepyBoBos]

@univibe23 - What your experiencing is nostalgia.

[BilisNegra]

@univibe23 Sure, but we can still enjoy what was done back in the years, as well as whatever good there may be still around today (there is always some good music to discover, not topping charts, of course. Maybe fewer ones and harder to find than before). What we can't bring back is seeing those awesome artists in their prime playing live. That's true, too bad...

[Trence1967]

Is he talking about 1971 or 2009? The cars lowered and with the loud pipes and aerials? Funny how some things always are. Great tunes Thanks

[StukeSowle]

Things never change huh?

[folkrockm14]

hes a great man and im on his side with politics.even though that has nothing to do with how great his music is.he,

grateful dead and bob dylan are my biggest influence

[robboturner]

it's amazing how good these songs sound with one man and his instrument. neil young is a true great, no-one can touch him. the audience are hanging on his every word

[weinerbongo]

It's so weird to see him be this casual. I'd always had this belief that Neil would drop over dead if he tried to be funny, but I guess I was wrong.

[bookkeeper57]

Neil was always casual and he's actually laid back funny most of the time. He dresses up for a concert with a blazer, brimmed hat and jeans with the knees torn out: see Wembley 1974. I have never seen this guy in a performance clip where you could say he was spruced up; ever.

[JeudeLyne]

did you catch him on Charlie Rose a spell ago.

[11xzxzxz]

Yes but that was a while again. Anything you found interesting?

[BrokenChair88]

@weinerbongo 

[silvertone2008]

hes right about american tv it sucks, i want a bbc cup, neil young youre a legend man, excellent preformance

[sharkjerky]

this communist government sucks. our people are more or less living dead, to allow this obscenity called the US government destroy the world with OUR unknowing hands. Oh, and by the way, for those who aren't up to speed, the north american union has been signed, which will make US, Canada, & Mexico fall under one control. Ever heard of the EU. It's fact, look it up. NWO is here, has been, but it's blinding if you open your eyes.

[SaraVaughanfan]

Don't Let It Bring You Down... magic song, so powerful, so touching!

[roadwary56]

Yeah, I suppose it will be released and much more when they let the archives box set out they've been holding back and threatening to release time and again. $300.00 plus, U.S.

[chuck1990bb]

does anyone know what microphones they used in these videos. they used them in the old grey whistle test a lot in the early 70s. Are the telefunken or neumann?

[idoru1]

I dont know but they are freaking amazing

[unstoppable3rd]

Neil was pounding those keys on "A Man Needs A Maid"... an intense, powerful performance! The new "Live At Massey Hall 1971"is an awesome cd from this same time period.

[astrololee]

Ive been listening to this song for 38yrs+ and the full impact of it has only just hit me, its so sad wooh! Thanks so much for posting it Steve and letting me have a good cry too.

[idoru1]

my wife hasnt listened to too much Niel Young... he first itme she listened she cried.. WOW

[Bananaman2nd]

Just look at the woman in the front row wearing red at 8:00, I'm sure she agrees with your wife!

[11xzxzxz]

Definitely keep her till the end of time and used good soft kleenex on her aching heart and running nose. Don't ever bring her down.

[BrokenChair88]

@11xzxzxz Who???

[11xzxzxz]

@BrokenChair88 Answer in his hand is just a stupid pun and line from "don't let it bring you down".

[itreeye]

You're a lucky man. :)

[johnlen3]

Thank you! That was great!

[martinvsyolat3ngo]

amazing.

[septip123]

thank you stevefurlong for the post

[bookkeeper57]

His remarks about commercial TV in the US are spot on: listen to Restless Consumer, written years later.

[rdw1970]

fantastic - thanks for posting. lol "I want you to all meet my instruments"

[steelpeech]

don't let life bring you down, understand, and you will come to town..turning always a good thing to do

[megallica1990]

classic! neil young i one of my favorites and this really is a great look at him live
