Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young Live @ Grand Rex

[11xzxzxz]

And it's a shame that the boy in me that can't play well with others but Neils to blame .. /C C G/ A / Am / F ..

Just one great song to last a lifetime.

Hello to Neil Young in Sand (Hello Cowsils? in the Sand)

Is today's musIck really so bland? (can you say "Voyage of the Damned"?)

To be a clown with a turned-down frown. To take a stand and to be short-hand.did. To be a powderfinger and to be let it burn and linger. Old enough, now, to know Neil Young . To read his purple lyrics on a gray background. To be his main joker and not be jokin' 'round. When so many love his later stuff it's a shame and not near enough know his name.

[thehistorywatcher]

Greatest one-man band ever!

[senojhtiek]

if you havent already heard it, listen to City & Colour's version of this song. its way good. Neil Young is sick as hell for sure tho

[StarMatt9th]

I just can't wait to see him. Wish he could come in France soon....

[pavaughn1]

The same sweet voice he had in 1970. Just like David Crosby and Steven Still. Thank you.

[MrCiaran31]

Neil is the man...I hope he plays in Ireland soon..if any of you peeps aren't busy it would make my day if you checked out my cover of this and let me know what you thought :-D

[kfc63822]

[guitarnlaxdmb]

[spaceword]

[jsebsteelguitar]

A wonderful classic song...

64 years old, and Neil Young is still a incredible singer and guitarist!

Thank you for this beautyful live version in Paris!!!

[georgetsikos1]

The fans love Neil.

Those who don't are of course not fans.

He Is a legend.

Neil rocks!

[IPlayTheDrumset]

I have to admit that im not a big fan of mr Young and only heard this song after dallas green covered it, but after seeing this i cant even describe in words how good this proformance was. nobody can top it

[floydian1987]

how can you not be a young fan he's a god

one of the greatest of all time!

[abeatlesguy]

I love the Neil's acoustic versions of this song. I may like them more than the studio.

[joegelb]

Very good caputre, great video well done.

[thelostthefound]

dallas' version of this song sounds so much better

[zemzamiimad]

neil young is the best songwriter fucking genius

[louiseduvee]

Glad you were there. This is great!

[ramrawww]

I wanna do this one! awesome.

[nirvana1134kc]

i think niel is a great proformer but i dont like how he makes his music on whats popular and not about what he likes

[smoke117]

Neil Young doesn't "make his music" by what's popular at any given moment, he creates his music by what has grabbed his fancy at any given time...and that can change a lot with him. I love him for it. He writes, records, and plays whatever he feels like it. Let's his muse take him where it will.

[yoIsaiah259]

Neil Young Rocks

[JustanUnknownComic]

I believe your statement is one of the most idiotic I've seen on this site. It blatantly displays your ignorance of Neil Young as a singer/songwriter. Neil is well-known for being extremely outspoken with his music when he addresses political and social issues from his perspective. He can care less whether or not it's "popular," you bumbling jackass.

[yoIsaiah259]

Neil Young would say, "Shalom" ya'll. I'm both the synthesis of flight of fancy united with social/political issues. Beautiful to listen to, yet making a statement." You can agree with him or disagree as long as you are listening.

[GreenOilers]

He does the opposite of that, I can't believe I'm mad at a Nirvana fan

[mikesrandomvids]

Kurt didn't want to be mainstream and fan-satisfying. Just to letcha know.

[abeatlesguy]

@mikesrandomvids No, Kurt didn't always do it just for the fans, but Kurt Cobain's dream was to become the biggest rockstar in the world, which he was for a while. On Nirvana's studio albums even though Kurt Cobain would initially be against potentially more mainstream additions to the songs, he could usually be convinced. Neil's complete determination to do things his own way regardless of anything else is why he never works with any person or group long and his wavering mainstream popularity.

[mussman717word]

@abeatlesguy

No, man. You're dreadfully mistaken. Kurt didn't want the fame. In fact, he despised it. His notorious "suicide" note started out as a simple "I'm leaving Nirvana and quitting music because I can't take the pressure" message to his fans. He always wanted to be remembered for what he stood for, rather than just the typical "rockstar" image, which he also despised... See: his infamous feud with Axl Rose. Kurt was an artist. Neil wanted to work with him, never got the chance.

[abeatlesguy]

He came to hate fame once he had it, but that does not mean that he did not have the desire to be famous before it actually happened. He didn't expect it to happen, but he still wanted it. Once he became famous, however, he found that the fame did not solve all of his problems as the thought it would. His resentment of fame came after it happened, which people frequently forget (or choose not to see). He was by no means a sell out, he didn't pursue fame, but he still had the desire for fame.

[Strat22c]

abeatlesguy, you should write fiction. Oh wait, you already are. Kurt was never in it for the fame. Courtney was and Kurt was her 'vehicle' to that . She tried with Roz Rozzington first but Kurt was her ticket to 'stardom.' Your comment regarding Neil's "determination to do things his own way regardless..." is laughable. Crazy Horse lasted a lot longer than the Beatles as a band and Neil has the distinction of producing a 'country' album', every second album for decades.

[abeatlesguy]

Strat22c, you know facts, but you haven't disproved anything I said. First of all I never said that Kurt was "in it for the fame." I said that he had the desire for fame, which he did. The way you worded it implies that I said his sole purpose was to become famous, which I did not say. Cobain's problem was not fame, it was the sacrifice of art for the sake of fame. That is why he always respected people like Young who did what they wanted. Cobain wanted to be famous while still doing....

[abeatlesguy]

what he wanted to do. Once Cobain became famous he realized that he was becoming part of the corporate machine that he had so long hated, and he didn't feel like he could do anything to stop it. That is why he hated his own fame so much.  Now to Neil Young. Crazy Horse has been together much longer that the Beatles were, but Neil Young and Crazy Horse are two things. Young never sticks with Crazy Horse for more than a few years at a time. As for every other album being a country album....

[abeatlesguy]

could it not be that Neil likes country? To the next point, Neil Young has certainly had wavering popularity. Buffalo Springfield was a high point of popularity followed by a low point after they disbanded. His popularity raised again with CSN&Y, After the Gold Rush, and Harvest, and slowly declined throughout the later seventies. Most of the eighties were a low point. His popularity went up again in the late eighties and early nineties, and has slowly declined since. Being successful...

[abeatlesguy]

overall and remaining somewhat popular in his low points does not mean that he did not have wavering popularity because he certainly had highs and lows, whatever the cause. I dont know why you would mention his two biggest hits in Heart of Gold going #1 in 1972 and Rockin in the Free World going #2 in 1989 because it just proves that he had wavering popularity.His biggest hits were seventeen years apart! That means that in between that time his popularity was not as high as it was in those years

[abeatlesguy]

Young certainly had wavering popularity, and saying that he did not is foolish because he very obviously had highs and lows. I do know what I am talking about with Young and Cobain, and your argument has done nothing to discredit that claim.

[Strat22c]

As for his "wavering mainstream popularity" I don't see how being probably one of the 100 most popular singer/songwriters of the last 40 years qualifies his popularity as "wavering." He is popular enough to have bands of the calibre of Sonic Youth open for him and is still popular enough to fill a very large venue, pretty much anywhere on the planet. Not many other musicians of his generation have anywhere near the popularity today that he does with people who are a third his age.

[Strat22c]

He had a song at #1 on the US charts in 1972, a song at #2 in 1989 and MTV video of the year in 1989 for a video that MTV initially 'banned' from their rotation because of its lyric content. Two international best sellers in 1989 and two different songs. Nothing "wavering" about that at all.

[Strat22c]

His reasons for putting his music career in the backseat for most of the 1980's is also well documented, as is his continuing support of the issue that stemmed from. Your comments here just indicate that you don't have a clue about what you are talking about, Neil or Kurt.

[brianlinn07]

agree about neil, but yea nirvana's mentality was pretty much the exact opposite of what you described.

[SpeicheausWittenberg]

Great song & great singer! Thanks!

[RitaAnne]

he still got the goods amazing, he takes me right back..

[makavelimavi]

I can't believe that his voice still sounds the same as it did 40 years ago. Amazing.

[deebur53]

How great to see & hear him do his old stuff!!!! Saw him in the early 70's in Boston.....and saw CSN 3 years ago in Florida..........AWESOME!!!!!

[Ashluke]

Immortal Neil, he plays and sings same as he did in the 70's!

[moloko89]

i think he even gets better and better!

[Deus89]

love this song

absolutely adore it

[Pfloydiana]

Qué envidia me das!!!

[rocklegends4ever]

this is ridiculous. Im seein him on dec 13. i am praying that he does this.

[sancalarga]

Is this guy cheap and selfish?, I've never seen him live, but I"M wondering, he can afford to have backup singers like in the original we bought, unless he's flatass broke. he cant afford musicians to give it a fuller sound?

[Setsunido]

Great musicians and song doesn't need more than the artist to make them great.

[wiggysmoke]

no offence but he plays what he feels right, and he prolly sang sum gooders at the show you were at that these guys didn't see

[1947Chief]

THIS IS GOLD !!!!!

[rlawton002]

He wears a crown, of Gibsons,Taylor's,Alvarez,Fende­r's, Takamine's and Martin's

[nbvw3]

nice picture!

[HerbertGoodman]

Thanks a lot. How did you get so good audio quality!?

[anderaxel]

seems like my Panasonic Lumix is very good when it comes to acoustic concerts.. and the sound at the venue was already great. so it's just a lucky shot I guess..

thanks for the comment!

alex.

[sleeplessintokyo]

thanx for sharing:D

[Sactress]

He gets better with age.I saw him live in the 70's and I was so pleasantly surprised to see you put this up here. Great video,and you made my day. Wonderful memories. Merci beaucoup

[Kadano1]

I hope I will ever see him live. I missed him playin in Vienna a month ago but the tickets were just far too expensive for a 16 years old.

Still I like the version from Live At The Fillmore East most. I so much wish I would have been there. That version is just pure magic and ecstasy, especially the very beginning.

[MMSMikey]

one of the grestest songs of all time. period.

[delfi35]

j'aurais tellement voulu y être !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dommage que je n'ai que 16 ans et pas encore mon permi sinon j'aurais tout fait pour y aller ...

[IcchY91]

merci beaucoup pour ce super souvenir

[clarajuliadebu]

I'm going to see Neil's tour in Manchester next month. Have seen him before several times in festival and arena settings - never thought I'd get a chance to see him in a theatre. Can't wait.
