Neil Young BBC Concert 1971 - Part Two

[NightCloudless]

Neil Young

[mortyaddams]

fantastic...love all these songs of Neil's...Been my hero for 3 decades..

[johnbarry1965]

That's the sign of a great artist that armed with only an acoustic guitar or a piano, a mesmeric performance can be hewed!!!!

[LittleRaggie]

Sound can be resynched. Windows Movie maker. Add video & delete sound. Make mp3 of video & add as audio, then sync the two. worth the effort.

[LittleRaggie]

I have had this concert on a bootleg LP since 1972... To see the actual performance on film is like standing @ the end of the rainbow!

[gibsg62]

The four Best Neil Young video's on Youtube...!

[dsakisheway]

He' so beautiful. Is Canadian too. Was so young here - amazing!

[celloprofundo]

Dam, the video is a half second ahead of the audio..I saw Neil and Linda Ronstadt together in '71...my friends wouldn't budge from the nose-bleeds and I was straight..so it was pretty un-eventful ; )...through binoculars...but the next five times I saw him...priceless..though I could never figure out why he picked Lucinda Williams or Tracey Chapman to open for him...Where was Joni, Neil? ; )

[jacksonbrownepuppy]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!

[cherryyehyeh]

A voice like crystal, mesmerizing and just him, no back up, nothing else but an instrument & a voice... pure talent

[11laking11]

Rare and beautiful...

Thinking of my peeps in Canada... as winter rages on... and as I stare down the barrel of a massive cyclone here in Australia.

Finding some comfort in my old familiar friend Neil...

[downrodeo2112]

this must of been right after massey hall

[68foxy99]

love neil young

[Wizard421]

its ausome how he says new songs, doubting himself "aw maybe its the new songs" and yet these are the songs that made him famous, not saying that his other stuff is not as good, because it might even be better, but its just cool how this audience gets to hear his "new" songs before their on albums

[drumrz2]

thankyou thankyou thankyou for posting these! they're wonderful~

[11xzxzxz]

Hey thanks steverfurlong for these. Without these treasures I could only imagine what Neil was like then . I will stay with you if you stay with me said the fiddler to the drum? And Neil talks like he sings: sensitive, in touch with himself and others in that awkward introspective mysterious kind of 3 finger Phil Ochs way. I still am amazed that some think he sings poorly as they miss the point that he is all heart-on-his-snotty-sleeve and if you can't get Neil they you have no heart.

[mrfirefool]

thw for posting this fantastic man and his music. I did not know about this concert. Now i have ordered it on dvd.

[bobertsix]

Thanks for sharing these magical moments.

[x2faa]

How hold do you reckon he was here??

[sunny8275jcb1]

@x2faa he was 25 b-day 11/12/45

[peopleforthepeace]

He's so quiet It's cute It's kinda like he's too shy to talk too much. At least he's not shy about playing. :3 I still don't know how he playes the harmanica AND guitar at the same time!! It's crazy!!! Thats a huge talent right their!

[mustangTNT]

There has never been nor will there ever be another Neil Young....I worship him.

[wdchefdave]

@mustangTNT

My friends made fun of me for liking his music in the early 70's.

I haven't changed my mind... and I am 54 yrs. old.

He has never embarrassed me.

Nor, let me down!

Cheers!

[mustangTNT]

@wdchefdave FUNNY! My stepdad (now deceased) used to literally HOWL whenever I'd play Neil....I used to get so mad at him!! I'm 50 and have loved Neil since I was 9....Even got to be backstage and on the tour bus with the band in 1984..Ate dinner with Tim Mulligan and some others...THERE IS NOTHING EMBARRASSING ABOUT NEIL - CHEERS!!!

[jjugglerredding]

only on public broad kast...like PBS I'm glad i'ts there!!

[kkrisbat]

Magic, simply magnificent moment.

Christian

[hemet92544]

This needs to be released on DVD!!!!!!!!!!

[coijoi]

thanks 4 sharing"

[zacharym87]

Sorry... The first song in this video is Journey Through The Past

[zacharym87]

The first song is "Out on the Weekend" from Harvest

[jclick1972]

what is the name of the first song?

[lapointeric]

imagine hearing this for the first time....

[mark11488]

best unplugged concert ever !!!

[neurochris]

this is one of the most beautiful renditions of heart of gold i ever heard i prefer it more than the studio version

[teclo64]

First saw this on the old Trio network a few years ago. The picture quality was stunning.

[yourdogsmusic]

you know, i hope they release the DVD of this legendary performance. I mean, i can only imagine the extra features. Rehearsals, interviews, alternate versions of these songs, or peformances of other songs? i guess i'll have to wait like the others for its release.

[kemicon]

It amazes me how funny he is yet his songs, at least in this point in his life, are usually really serious and pretty depressing (in a good way if that's possible).

[dudududedaddy]

Hello Heywally, couln't agree more, this guy melodies have been with me til back then, I am closing on 60 now, but still dreams of my life listening to these tunes...

[justin4453]

Same here, I've recently fell back in love with Neil's stuff, and I'm only 22. lol.

I'd like to turn you on to my generations Neil in a certain way if you haven't heard of him already. I'll send you the video. Hope you dig it man. Have a great day.

Justin

[heywally]

No one in my too old lifetime wrote so many brilliant melodies - no one comes close.

[BeckRD1]

Oh, MAN, this is awesome!!!

[11xzxzxz]

Neil has the perfect imperfect voice that brings good songs to greatness. Who else could sing this?

[stewartakaryan]

exacly, and the so called "proffesionals" said neil couldnt sing.....id like to se them sing after the goldrush

[DunnDeadly]

any way you can put on auto-play

[petierose1]

Oh, hooray! Thank you for sharing this! My first concert was CSNY in well, in the

60's!!

[iamelijahb]

ENJOY NEIL YOUNG.

[skazzo84]

1971 u morons...

[tomaszlow]

There's something that makes me be a bit perplex about this whole thing . When he starts Old Man , he says that this is a new song that he wrote about his Ranch ... But he says that in the Massey Hall show too , but this show (BBC) was about 18 years before Massey Hall . Hum (BBC = 1953 , Massey Hall = 1971) .

[tomaszlow]

Ah , just found out that this show is from the same year than the Massey Hall one ... Description of the video is wrong ...

Sorry .

[Vornik]

Dude, the description of the video says the BBC bought the theater in 53. Does this look like a recording from the 50's, man?

[waxhax0rs]

Also, Neil was 8 years old in 1953...

[589216001]

hahahahaha

[GigVid]

this great beeb concert was definately recorded in 1970.

musos are not always sharp on stats in the live situation, plus they like to joke,.. play with time, dylan being the main man for that, although it's well known that neil has precise details on most of his great live back-catalogue.

an excellent studio gig, & what a set-list, highlighting the brilliance of the man.

thanks for posting complete gig.

[whytie42]

considering he was born in 1945, I don't think this was in 1953! This was around the exact same time as massey hall.

[Genchildrenunite]

Dammit I wish when bands introduced new songs at gigs they were as amazing as neils were.

[idoru1]

The best thing that i heard about Niel Young was when he was promoting a new album in concert that the audience had never heard before ( I think it was "Rust never sleeps")

He told them to be patient and he would play them something that they had heard before.

After playing the entire album he started again from the beginning! Genius!!

[c12h22o11girl]

Imagine being there, hearing all of these songs for the first time (well, not #5)

[Poopaloo55]

What an experience it is watching this! Thank you...Brilliant!!

[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?

[lefty10185]

pure magic

[johnlen3]

Thank You. This has been something to see and hear!

[Poopsmcgee10]

Audiences will never be this quiet and truly attentive ever again. Not outside of the small coffeehouse circuits anyway.

[bobertsix]

@Poopsmcgee10

got to ice land if you clap during a song someone is likely to punch you in the face and if you whistle loudly like doosh bags always do at rock concerts it'll be the last time you ever do, its awesome.

[odderaindie]

@Poopsmcgee10 I think the only reason that audiences are attentive is cause no one knows the songs. it doesn't matter what time period it is. people in large groups are obnoxious and stupid. If you keep em confused they usually shut up.

[kirbypmorris]

@Poopsmcgee10 I thought so too until I saw Cat Power. You can hear a pin drop despite the fact there is 1000+ people there.

[Marcr0]

Thank you VERY much for posting this - pure gold! It's hard to believe these were ever new songs that people heard for the first time, and live on top of it. Thanks again for allowing a Journey Thru the Past.

[bookkeeper57]

I was in high school at the time, and I spent hours trying to get my hair to look like his (arrgh!)

[allansfriend]

Aahhh...Thank you! ~Tammi~

[willebol]

Love this concert, Neils is so relax

[bookkeeper57]

He was only about 26 here, and introduced what were several new songs during this show.

[razmanaz011]

em no, it was in 71 and thats the year he releassed old man and it specificly says in the song '24 and into so much more' so he was 24

[taciones]

em no, he was born in 1945 so he could not have been 24

[matttubes]

24 rhymes nicely with "more" unlike 26

He's either 25 or 26 here

He was born in November 1945

get the facts, man

[whosnext1234567]

mabey he wrote when he was 24

some songs take a while to get out there
