Neil Young - Lotta Love

[mea00077]

I am a new Neil Young fan. I can't believe what I've been missing. This song makes me choke up. Awesome!!!

[AleMayaOM]

love him a lot!! lotta love

[yalcrelyt]

0:59 - Wipe your nose, Neil.

[LolasTubular]

I have sooooo much love for this man. Hard to imagine that he was that young, and had already composed hundreds of incredible, classic R&R songs, at the time this was filmed. I mean, WTF?!  He was just a kid! xo

[roboroschi]

DON'T KILL ME, BUT I PREFER NICOLETTE LARSON VERSION . . .

[SuperMetalBeast]

@roboroschi DIE!!!!! lol na she did a great job

[roboroschi]

@SuperMetalBeast

That's true.

[julyarchives]

What a great tune

[kellythesinger]

After all these years....Neil. you still shine Thanks for the years of integrity in our beloved Rock and Roll.

[icecreamforcrowhurst]

Great stuff. Neil's still in his prime here (... only a couple of years shy of the dreaded 1980's). 

[sprintbass]

have to say i like nicolette larson's version over ths one..and yes i know he gave her the song..but it sounds better with a woman singing it..thats just my opinion.

[Manu9078]

haha this song always plays when I'm at work but not the Neil version... In fact, I never knew it was Neil who wrote it originally

[lovebeccaxo]

@heart4musicality shut up, no one cares. <3 loljk such a good song :)

[heart4musicality]

Favourite Song, Ever. <3 Oh my god I wish I had been born in the 60's so I could have seen this stuff. This music this is the good stuff.

[JulietteJunction]

<3 <3 <3 lottttttaa llovvee for Neil Young

[Crazyhorse1935]

I was 13 years old when I discovered Neil Young. It's now 40 years later and not a week goes by or has gone by without his words and his music moving me just as they did on that first occasion. I feel so lucky.

[bassdeadhead]

@Crazyhorse1935 hell yea man great bio! keep rockin

[CW2SCOGG]

This guy isn't just a good musician, he's a great songwriter.....

[aminz18]

Thanks Neil.

[nycroland1]

one of

Neils best written songs

[RRNYC1998]

Send this commie back to Canada

[steakdiaper]

wow i've been hearing the Nicolette Larson version all my life...never knew it was a Neil Young song til today

[julyarchives]

What a great tune.

[bobby7771117]

Neil Young is a great singer/songwriter/musician! I think everyone that loves great music has a favorite Neil Young song! Sincerely, BobbyK

[alejaalvarez]

[ramontenia]

[Hippilova]

[thelmaflauto]

<3 <3 <3

[SnoopDoobyDoobs]

Neil save me at this hour of stupidity in my country, love you.

[mudslideslime]

Classic Neil Young!!!

[nycroland1]

Neil should be placed in the top 10 influential song writer/musician, past and present... Love the mans music.

[jhr459]

@nycroland1 - from your lips to.....well, you know

[equinocio68]

Idolo total !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BiBo24]

Excellent indeed. Any idea of the year here? Appears about 1977-1980 or so?

[ProcolHarum1967]

@BiBo24 It was recorded in 1978.

[BettinaBalser]

@BiBo24 October 1978. It was filmed in the same weekend that the Live Rust LP was recorded. This version is slightly different than what appears on Live Rust. It's still wonderful :)

[terrapin227]

I love this Neil song

[BarstoolBlues33]

How can you not fucking adore this guy? What a great love song sang and performed by a guy who is all about the performance and the moment and not about production.

[pattyboombaladdy]

@BarstoolBlues33

I always thought this song was written for his daughter Amber Jean who suffers from epilepsy, as does Neil. Also as an anthem for parents of children with epilepsy. The words kind of tell that story.

[pattyboombaladdy]

beautiful nonetheless. 

[maryruthanne]

Every time I hear him sing, I feel like I should give him a hug and a cookie.

[abadipioh]

@maryruthanne same with me, he is so cute.

[abadipioh]

@maryruthanne and a glass of milk

[jatroup12]

I love his version and Nicolette's. And they are both so different. Thx for posting!

[ThePamelaross]

One of my fave numbers.

Neil is still to date gorgeous.

He never seems to lose his sex appeal even in his latter years.

But whenever i hear this song, i always think of Nicollete Larson.

Life is so unkind sometimes..

A life cut to short,

what a sad shame.

She will always be remembered..

beautiful lady with a fab voice.

One of my idols from my teen years..

[werejustBEings8soBE]

There are so many problems in this world, and no guns, violence, exclusive, or narrow mindedness can ever truly solve them. Acceptance, compassion, and Love can.

[ALFREDOAGUIRRE100]

Gracias por componer esta cancion tan hermosa. Dios te bendiaga y por compartirla con Nicolette Larson. Hacias parte del eslabon de esta cadena de hermosas composiciones que le han dado tanta alegria, paz y amor a los seres humanos.

[jesuisamusante]

wow. Neil is so young in this video!

as for his singing, it may not be the best technically, but what it lacks in quality, he makes up for it in passion.

[alspawn777]

a lotta love awesome... treasures neverending memories, a pleasure of a lifetime... thanks

[McClaudioMacau]

Quantas vezes ouvi esse rítmo em blues deste genial compositor? Perdi as contas. Um dos meus prediletos do que chamam de folk music.

[mortyaddams]

Great song....and I love his voice..



[OtisSpur]

God bless you, Neil, but stick to writin em, you can't sing em.

This wouldn't cut it at the local karaoke bar!

[elephantinrm]

@OtisSpur Son you must hang in some low places.

[StanBennet]

@OtisSpur Finally, someone who is sane about this guy!

[MrTimothyWatts]

@StanBennet UCGHulsAPFHDFVVIV Hey

[StanBennet]

@MrTimothyWatts I understand your comment just as much as how so many people loved this dude.

[MrTimothyWatts]

@StanBennet Why do care that people love him, I love him. Why is that such a big deal? Just because you've obviously not spent time on him and let his music click with you...

[newgondiwatergate]

Being black in Ga I grew up on Larsons version but this is hot.

[jorgeluizvargas]

No alto da montanha a india Buffala Coicera se deitava como uma cadela no cio com caes sarnentos!!

Como uma aranha assassina degolava seus companheiros depois dos seus prazeres.

E dormia entopecida pelo prazer de sua loucura protegida por seus acefalos guerreiros!!!

(Cacique Xaleira Preta)

[TheShogun64]

Simply beautiful.

Listening to this rendition and Nicolettes' as well takes every worry and stress away.

God bless!

[bugfarmery]

larson give me a break.put some barry manilow on.

[bugfarmery]

nic larson fn dribble compared to neil.how could you think that?put some barry manilow on!!!

[bugfarmery]

over girlfriend!

[kekotrevi]

i am totally agreed!!!!! great song but Nicolette Larson have the perfect voice for it.. Love this song!!!!

[RPEUSER26]

Awesome!

Love the man!

[bassangler33880]

Amen..!

[scrumtralescence]

mad respect to neil for writing this song but it's a chick song - therefore, Nicolette Larson's cover is better in my personal opinion ... which I completely respect.

[sunchaserky]

neil...ya gotta lotta mine! cheers!

[310twh]

Neil is so good he can play left-handed too

[Cuzindude]

white shirt, light pants. it was the style back in 79. we were experimenting with shorter hair cuts too. dud I looked like neil and he looked like me. i had the same pari of suspenders also. if you have a flat belly, you can pull it off. no way now.

[MrSeesawsean]

nothing like raw gorgeousness

[Kedbuka]

@MrSeesawsean Great comment...well described.

[111peacedove]

@MrSeesawsean I gotta a lotta love...



[iLikePhilly]

What Is Love???

[neorunt]

@iLikePhilly

What is Love.

When you care for someone else more than you care for yourself.

[GhostAccount56]

meh, lady gaga did it better. u old fogies r such dorks.

[11xzxzxz]

The greatest artist ever (well from ' 66 to '80). Off the underplayed and rated Comes a Time. If you need someone to worship look in Neil's direction but who knows about his next record ? Everyone thinks that is so great his chameleon style but can I say I don't and not be called a stupid jerk? Thanks. Beautiful song. La la la la la at the starts says to me .. something great is coming.

[camus247]

Excellent post! Beautiful experience with both artists,

[rockerforlife2001]

I've only heard the Nicolette Larson version of the song. It's great to hear this version as Neil wrote the song.

[zapkvr]

@rockerforlife2001 It's on the album Four strong winds. I have the vinyl. I got it in 1979. Too hard to split the two versions but I think Neils just falls over the line. I mean, its his song right. Nicolette was beautiful, so sad her life was cut short.

[11salparadise]

@zapkvr the albums comes a time

[zapkvr]

@zapkvr Now I feel like a complete idiot. Of course I knew the name of the album. You know within three weeks in Australia, I think it was 1979, WEA relaesed Comes a time, Rust never sleeps and Rust live. I was in heaven.

[chuckm51]

What a great buried treasure. I remember when this came out. Both versions are great.

What a great time to live!

God bless youtube for making this and so much other great music available, when it would otherwise be gone forever.

[mistamontiel]

Man. AGES ago I found a great acoustic only live version. On Limewire. I dreamed of blazing a blunt to it in my ride, storming outside.

..I ain't getting that Limeshit again..someone out there upload it for me please. :\

G0NNA BE A L0T 0F L0VE !!

[sprucka1]

this is a very good version.

[bijouxzane]

love neil & he did write by taking linda ronstadts suggestion to have nicolette larsen record this song!!! great song...great artists.

[karenjano]

There are so many artists that need support. Buy a painting. Richard Gorman, a great Canadian artist, died dirt poor...again, another sad sorry. And so WHAT if fucken' Donald Sutherland said something at the funeral. Really? Where was he when he was Richard was alive?

[riccardino82]

The Best Ever!

[Pavel1915]

Chords are amazing.

[mmgdavis]

to godlytroller... i guess that is coming from one fag..that would be you, to another..dumb ass!!!

[wolftune]

rip Nicolette Larson

[godlytroller]

Faggot old people song.

[julyarchives]

What a great tune .Live rust

la la la la la ooh oooh oooh

regards

jimmy

[jatroup12]

What album or CD is this off of? How can I get a digital copy?

[adridmorningstar]

You can get this song and the album off of itunes. the album is called Live Rust.

[jwaynes71]

this came out when I was sophmore in college, great memories. Life so simple and innocent back then.

[andymckim1]

Very beautiful. Very California.

[pqletz]

Grande !!!!!!!!!!!!

[317538]

il piu` grande trai i grandi

[mcmthbig1]

Awesome as Neil always is

[joeygonzo]

He was God.

[muskie4301]

@joeygonzo he is still alive.

[joeygonzo]

@muskie4301

I know.

I meant he was God then.

Now, not so.

All my classmates bought After The Gold Rush cassette .

I bought NY and The Crazy Horse Live double album.

And a few more records ( Comes A Time and so on ).

[keykutter]

All of Neil Youngs songs sound the same, still really like his music!

[MegaCalabash]

@bmerrill2121 : Yes, he did.

[PegGonzalez]

@keykutter

All of his songs sound the same? That's pretty ignorant.

[MaceMn]

@PegGonzalez Take it w/ a grain of salt. There's so much ignorance out there. Only figures that YouTube should reflect the same.

[wallacecd]

@headstock48 - Neil did write this song. Nicolette had the radio hit, but's Neil's song. @blindriv3r - Long May You Run wasn't written for Nicolette Larson. It wa written for "Mort" - Neil's 1st Hearse that dropped its xmission and died.

[headstock48]

Oh boy, I saw him play this in Providence in 1976 and I thought he wrote it. Woops! BUT, isn't this typical of a Neil Young song in that he sounds so vulnerable and isn't afraid to show it? He just lets it all hang out. In a good way.

[stewartakaryan]

his music never gets old

[TheZeke1974]

Cool! ive never heard his version before!!! Great stuff!!!!!

[twinkie57401]

I just viewed Nicollet Larson's recording of this. I hope Neil had the opportunity to thank her for doing his song so fantastically before she passed away. Neil is amazing.

[blindriv3r]

@twinkie57401 yeah I'm sure he did, they were living together at the time. It is how she came across the song, picked up a tape of it from the floor of his truck....He wrote Long May you Run for her, a great version w/her singing on it is on the Neil Young Unplugged VHS

[twinkie57401]

@blindriv3r

Thank you, Driv3r, I did not know that. And if I did, I had forgotten it,lol!

[starcharm]

his version is my fav version because its slower and it makes you think more. nicolette larson did a great cover of it. both versions are great, but neil is the man. its more of a folk feel, when neil sings it. like sit around listening to this song and singing along.

[borinquaflava]

This is the first time I've heard this version, I really have to say I like the Nicolette Larson version better. I know he wrote it, but I'm just not feeling this.

[carlotta306]

great ,thanks

[flemingcourt]

brilliant !

[CarlLikes]

OMG : {

I was just about to say he butchered this, til I remembered that he's the one who wrote it. I guess it depends what you hear first, huh?

[ekaminar]

Where's his microphone? Is it that tiny little thing on top of his harmonica?

[BettinaBalser]

Absolutely wonderful. Only way to describe it. When God made Neil, He broke the mold.

[v2vroth]

@BettinaBalser Ain't it the truth Neil is the business!

[pattylibraia]

He couldn't but dance with his guitar...Everyone dances.

I've always loved to play and sing this one. And he's adorable.

[ftcollector]

[jockle1986]

[Xenostrobe]

This song alone would have assured Neil Youngs place in history.

[twoknights100]

one of neil young's best love song

[linhvienthai]

Perfect

[mbiddy666]

Awesome. Nicolette Larson's version is also awesome. No one writes songs like this anymore...

[MMAenthusiastUHHE]

I beg to differ, M. Ward writes some sweet songs that give me the same feeling Neil Young's music gives me.

[KOSMICKEN09]

listen to a guy named willie nile. he's amazing. just an example for you..

[listenmusic94]
