Neil Young ~ LIVE UNRELEASED VERSION ~ RAZOR LOVE + viDeo ~ *Best* I've heard

[11xzxzxz]

Good song. I got faith in Neil that this is not about a coke deal gone bad. I just hope Neil didn't try to rhyme "knack" with crack when he first wrote this. I heard Neil originally wrote this when he work for old man greedy Geffen and was trying to get off his label. Oh sorry I have some facts mixed up again. sorry. I said I'm going..

[hyp3rmus1c]

how can we download this version?!!

[curiousgeorge555]

@hyp3rmus1c I haven't a clue. I bought it on CD at a record shop in the Bay Area many years ago.

[hyp3rmus1c]

@curiousgeorge555 perhaps you could e-mail me the song or better yet, the whole CD, ? i would be forever grateful

[hyp3rmus1c]

@curiousgeorge555 you have a really amazing selection that i would love to have on my computer

[georgianne106]

my favorite Neil song!!! LOVE it <3

[Arctickaipo]

Good Evening Youtube, Good Evening.....

[11xzxzxz]

Yeah a good song alright. 

[KnifemakingUnplugged]

My favorite version. Thanks George!

[curiousgeorge555]

@KnifemakingUnplugged You're welcome. Thanks to Neil for being Neil!

[hapexamendar]

Where do things this beautiful come from.  It sure must be a nice feeling to create something like this. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists.

[apacolipps]

@hapexamendar Mine too. I love performing this song. When he holds that high, lonesome note, it brings me to tears. This man's voice is the definition of emotion.

[DredgeDeath]

thanks for posting this not much from silver and gold out here

[curiousgeorge555]

@DredgeDeath You're welcome. I really like silver and gold. Both Neil's album and the metals. (-:

[Taz11bravo]

totally cant find this live version on youtube from saturday night live (2000) hosted by john goodman. he was musical guest

[chromedreamz]

thanks !

[curiousgeorge555]

@chromedreamz Thank you!

[Cammackaveli]

Amazing song.. Neil's my fave songwriter and this song is a testament as to why!!!

[taemanok2006]

Rack 'em up Neil.

Good wishes to you and yours.

[kaiagavin]

let's roll??? WTF Neil, way to prophet from death (American style) just like Ohio. Watch out for that greedy hand that is attached to you. Even god fucks up,huh.

[reliablebow]

tell me baby...how'd you get the knack.....

[qqssaa]

neil Young one the greatest !!

[reliablebow]

Rediscovered this by visiting DejaVuSu....excellent fun Sir....One of Neil's best:) You captured and released a gem....

[curiousgeorge555]

@reliablebow "You captured and released a gem...."

That's ok when it comes to trout but what if one releases a gem of a women?

[reliablebow]

@curiousgeorge555 now that is a hard question...I would think that would be very difficult indeed.....

[DejaVuSu]

Beautiful Neil.....Beautiful lyrics......Beautiful video :)

[curiousgeorge555]

@DejaVuSu (-:

[JesusmyKing4Life]

one of the most gentle and tenderest songs Neil has ever done.5*****

[Royale3533]

do you know when this was recorded? I read he wrote the song in 1987 and wondered if this was that old, or a more recent rendition

[alargedog]

one of his best

[curiousgeorge555]

@alargedog I agree A.L.D. 

[maretajean]

f these m fukers

[maretajean]

u really make my day..........................

[curiousgeorge555]

@maretajean ...by the little things....

[darkcowboyhero]

@curiousgeorge555 ...You say.

[gegege7668]

This is the song i want to kiss a girl i love to before i die.

[Jaime8042]

Great song,

i first heard it on SNL

and i liked it.

[SymbolicX5461]

@Jaime8042 same with me. thats how i first came across neils work. brilliant, brilliant man

[Jaime8042]

@SymbolicX5461 yup

[swizzyiscool]

*covers face as he feels overly emotionally touched by this song and tears swell in his eyes* love the song, thanks.

[curiousgeorge555]

@swizzyiscool you're welcome.

[curiousgeorge555]

@88hanimart88 Thank you.

[scribe3s]

Thanks for the reply.....................I think it safe to say that many of us who have listened to Neil over the decades have a strong kinship to his music......even those who're new to his songs: he never stops surprising us. Peace.

[magsmeg]

@scribe3s too true the guy is a genius and as down to earth as the guy next door totaly in awe of him and his music ;-)

[magsmeg]

one word SUPERB!! and thanx george for posting

[curiousgeorge555]

@magsmeg you're welocme

[Jimdc821]

Ethereal, transcendental, floating, magic.

[Jackstraw1011]

If you like this version, scour the net til you locate the friends and relatives Albuquerque New Mexico show -9/6/00- the whole show is outta sight and there is an absolutely gorgeous version of "Razor Love". It is a must have show. If you can't find it, get in touch with me and I'll get it to you. Long may you run, Neil! They broke the mold after you were born.

[darkcowboyhero]

One of my favourite young songs

[fanofprotopic]

so, no one has the video of Young performing "Razor Love" on Saturday Night Live? It was so emotional it was almost unbearable. I have it on DVD but don't know how to post.

[curiousgeorge555]

@fanofprotopic SNL yanks stuff from YT faster than the time it took to read this reply.

That's been my observation anyway.

[mfjplat18k]

That performance was epic. It was also the first time I ever heard it. Magic.

[curiousgeorge555]

@mfjplat18k Glad you got turned on to it one way or another!

I agree with you,

[rocktunes]

Great song Neil. Put it out there!

[mscindy11]

take me away

[jeyesiebaby21]

This song shows why he really is "The Man". Mellow and thoughtful Neil at his best. Along with Distant Camera and Without Rings it makes for a very strong finish to Silver and Gold.

Long may he run.

[jeyesiebaby21]

He is, and will forever be "The Man". Love this song. Mellow and deep, and gets right through to you.

Distant Camera, this and Without Rings make a very strong finish to Silver and Gold, which is a very good album of Neil in quiet mode.

Long may he run.

[ericmgislason]

LOVE U NEIL

[williheckaslike]

I don't know where you get your live version's from ..... but this, again, is my favourite version of this song ~ The feeling he put's into this is beyond word's ! ~ The video's ace as well ~ Thank's for the post, Jack ~ Take care ~ Geoff

[curiousgeorge555]

Hi my friend! I haven't heard from you in a while. As far as versions. I have been a Neil fan for many a moon. Right place at right time I guess. Been lucky that way. I have had such profound richness added to my life by Neil I will be forever grateful to him.

[lloydtarrell98]

@williheckaslike All music starts with Neil!

[waylo4526]

what a deeply beautiful song..makes me think about how much i love my daughter .her mom and i are in a midst of a divorce there in reno,nv and i'm in dallas,tx:( my heart aches so bad now:(

[curiousgeorge555]

@waylo4526

G's man. I feel for ya!!!

I know where you are coming from. Trust me on that.

You got me in your corner.

That love for your daughter will go a long way.

And let me tell you this. It is no cliche. It WILL get better for you. Hold on to that if you can.

~cg

[davidshepherd1966]

WHO WILL KILL NEIL YOUNG?

[tonymfahy]

Curiosgeorge, Don't know where you got this, but it's fantastic! Thanks a lot. I'll be returning to this a lot. Have you a year on this? '71 seems right

[curiousgeorge555]

1989.

It's the best version I have ever heard. Glad you found someting you like! ~cg

[FyKadO]

Domo Ari gato

[finney59]

I think its his live show at the red rock with family and friends.

[mrswaltwhitman]

hey what live show is this? thanks.

[curiousgeorge555]

Jones Beache NY summer of '89

[dinglegonzo]

@curiousgeorge555 Jones beach rules!!! Neil always sounds good when hes at the beach!

[DaNeilG]

1971...Franceville , that romantic sand-hill...every day. Thanks a lot curiousgeorge to allow me to tell my dear Florence how i still love her

[curiousgeorge555]

@DaNeilG . That is so great to hear! Blessings to you and your dear Florance!. ~cg

[curiousgeorge555]

Meant to write Florence. Sorry 'bout that. ~cg

[Dangerbird04]

scribe3s said it all. And I also agree with curiousgeorge555 and all others who appreciate Neil that way.

[curiousgeorge555]

(-:(~cg

[curiousgeorge555]

Le visage de smiley signifie simplement que je suis d'accord avec votre commentaire.

[curiousgeorge555]

Thank you for the kind comment. It's one of my top favorite Neil Young songs as well ~cg

[scribe3s]

I think we can all agree that few artists touch our souls like Neil..........................­.....he beautifully puts to music what we all think or feel. He's our "emotions" man and that's what makes him, him.

[curiousgeorge555]

He certainly has a Razor sharp way of cutting clean through to the heart. ~cg5

[magsmeg]

@scribe3s never truer words spoken until now very well said ;-)

[Wayevy6302]

@scribe3s couldnt have put it any better myself!

[kyleronson1]

This is one of the deepest things I have ever heard in my life... it just cuts right through to the soul. Wow. If you wouldn't mind telling me, is there anywhere I can buy/download this audio from anywhere? Thanks!

[curiousgeorge555]

Bought it on cd many a moon ago in Berkeley Ca. Don't know where you can get it now.

[mrghin22]

You can record audio from you tube

[AnotherLarry]

Yep.

Thanks George.

(Oh, and Neil too!)

[curiousgeorge555]

Anytime. ~cg

[switchsearch]

i am curious if Neil Young, ever watches Youtube? i have to bet, if he does, he would be quite pleased with what Jack, aka. , Curious G. does with his music. Jacks video clips cut clean through, as deep, as clean, as true, as the sounds and, lyrics he tries to capture, with these images. . . not to mention all the other images posted by the man with the same name. i will travel hwy 101, from san diego, to the "banana belt", soon and walk among palm trees and redwoods, wherein they coexist. .

[curiousgeorge555]

Enjoy your trek from san diego, to the "banana belt". I appreciate your comments. I sure hope people are going to see Neil live if they can these days. Although it appears the man will "never die" he will eventually move on to the other side. Knowing him it wont be for 40-50 years. He is still going very strong.Go see him while you can. Thanks switchsearch.

~cg

[koliatima]

I like very much this music with guitar and harmonica.The sound is very nice.Your video very personal is great : original, with imagination and sensitive. Do you like Van Gogh? Thank you very much for this vidéo.Sorry for the mistakes!

[curiousgeorge555]

You made no mistakes. If you wrote this yourself without any help than you write English very well. Thanks so much for the kind comments. Van Gogh is my favorite painter. I sympathize greatly with his personal afflictions. Yet he lived a glowing life non the less. He should be an inspiration for all people with afflictions to pursue their dreams/muse/calling. So sad he ended his life at 37 yet he lived a far greater life than many people IMO. ~cg

[koliatima]

I like Van Gogh too and the outstanding paintings. I like the Don Mc Lean's song who dedicated him "Starry Starry Night". It's very poignancy. Van Gogh est un de mes peintres préférés. Tous ses tableaux sont inspirés. Sa couleur est magnifique. Sa vie est très triste en effet.

J'écris en Anglais avec l'aide d'un dictionnaire. J'ai étudié l' Anglais dans ma jeunesse mais je n'ai plus beaucoup pratiqué ensuite. Thank you for your friendly answer. K.

[curiousgeorge555]

Salut koliatima j'aime la Nuit Etoilée du soir et Etoilée Etoilée. Le tableau est poignant indescriptible et la chanson est un de mes préférés. Oui, tout à fait poignant. J'ai tendance à penser que ce monde n'a pas été fait pour un aussi beau que Vincent. Ou quelque variation ou le sentiment. Ne pas inquiéter sur votre anglais autant de. Je peux le comprendre tout à fait bien. Ce n'est pas comme vous essaient de communiquer un concepts très complexes. Vous remercier aussi. ~cg

[accordionreid]

this is my favourite of your videos because it is so beautiful

[curiousgeorge555]

I had NY Little Wing up. Warner yanked it. It's a beautiful song. I recommend the song for anyone who likes this one. I have a feeling you know the song well. I tend to be drawn to an idaealistic form of beauty. To the point where it can become a dangerous form of romanticism. I'm a classic romantic at heart but slowly over time came to realize one cannot ignore reality. Hence *songs* that aren't as beautiful are a part of life and I can't ignore them. More beauty to come accordionreid . ~cg

[11xzxzxz]

Yeah Little Wing is really beautiful song

[fanofprotopic]

when he did this on Saturday Night Live it was so emotional it was almost unbearable.

[dogmunch]

do you know where i can watch this?

[Jolie028]

superbe!

[waylo4526]

neil is as real as you can get he is blessed by GOD with amazing talent as well as dylan

[moria06]

god wishes she could write a song half as good as one by Neil.

[meltdownman1]

@moria06 She did when she created Neil in her image...

The Meltdownman

[SymbolicX5461]

@moria06 gods not a girl

[moria06]

@SymbolicX5461 the fuck you say.

[SymbolicX5461]

@moria06 JESUS AINT A GIRL YOU FUCK HEAD

[moria06]

@SymbolicX5461 how would you know?

what are you doin' listenin' to songs by the great Shakey? doncha have a dead soldier's funeral to go protest? the invisible deity in the sky wants you to study that book, stop wasting time on the internets!

[SymbolicX5461]

@moria06 you find me a picture on the internet with jesus as a girl you atheist or agnostic fuck whatever you are. the only know pictures of jesus are of him as guy(or a male gender)

[Pinkertism]

@SymbolicX5461 Actually, (s)he's a woman with a beard. And that's why (s)he was crucified originally (you know... intolerant ancient time and such).

[SymbolicX5461]

@Pinkertism actually ummm..... i think we should fucking send you back to al qaeda. i think they forgot you :)

[Pinkertism]

@SymbolicX5461 Aww, I really could use some vacations ! Thank you :)

[yourisaforever]

[trezpazz]

[texasfloodelkins]

Niel justs rocks and he can roll your country souls

[curiousgeorge555]

~cg

[waylo4526]

@texasfloodelkins yes he can do it all

[beazervh]

When you start your journey on the You Tube of Mr Young's songs you just don't know if is going to be an acoustic night or a night of some blazing guitar rips but what ever you chose you can not go wrong

[curiousgeorge555]

That's the thing about Neil. Not many artists have as wide a range in their arsenal. ~cg

[aenoch75]

i need this on my ipod

[accordionreid]

This is one of his best. I wish I could here this one Live in London, Ontario when I see him. It is so good. Thanks again for the post.

[curiousgeorge555]

Let me know if he plays it. I agree it is one of his best. ~cg

[accordionreid]

Beautiful and amazing song! Thanks for the post. wow...

[curiousgeorge555]

Your welcome! ~cg

[pizzacat311]

This is from a performance he played in Rotterdam, Netherlands in December of 89'. You should post more songs from this concert. He played combo of Dreamin' Man and Fuckin' Up on acoustic at this concert as well as an acoustic version of 'Cocaine Eyes'.

[awse45]

Thanks for posting this. Can't get enough of Neil.

[curiousgeorge555]

My pleasure. Me neither. ~cg

[JohnnyTurbo7]

Love Razor Love. One of my favorite albums.

[Bluegirl4me]

Best song writer of all time! Long may you write and play Neil. Thanks for all your wonderful music. Eric Hess, Willoughby, Ohio

[pizzacat311]

I have a bootleg CD with this same version on it. This song really touches me emotionally. I love this version better than the later released version.

[smoke117]

I'm not sure why Silver and Gold is so underrated. It actually has some of his most touching love songs on it and with a lyricist and songwriter as great as him they are some good songs.

[curiousgeorge555]

Me niether.

I especally like this song and:

-Good to See You

-Daddy Went Walkin

and 'Silver & Gold

~cg

[Angelus8890]

got to see neil do this live back in the 80's on his life album tour, what a great song

[curiousgeorge555]

Every time I have seen Neil live it has been great. Not enough times tho'! Totaly agree about the song! ~cg

[lauren25shawn]

awesome job, keep 'em comin'!!

[curiousgeorge555]

Thanks! I will keep tryin'! ~cg

[TigerPawPrints]

AMAZING

My ears feel like silk

Yes it Is...."I got Faith in You...You really make my day...with the little things you do"

....gotta watch out for the greedy hand...

Neil thanks man...makes me weak

[aenoch75]

beautiful just beautiful

[curiousgeorge555]

"beautiful just beautiful" and I would add beautifull (-:

[ThreePistols]

That was incredible. I find that Neil Young is at his best when it is just him and his guitar. Who else thinks this?

[curiousgeorge555]

IMO Neil is so strong alone or with a band it's a tough call. I do know what you mean and I think there is nothing like Neil and his "old guitar" all by their lonesome.

[phddddd]

Watch the look on his face when he straps on ... he becomes alive ... he's ready for the A-bomb ... Young without electric, I would never stand for it ... gotta let the wild man loose.

[curiousgeorge555]

I think Neil lets "the wild man loose" and than after a bit he wants to check out or in another part of himself. We all love him for it. Thank the good Lord for Neil and his guitars. Both wild and tamed. ~cg

[drewditty]

Scratching me right where I itch!!

Thanks!

[curiousgeorge555]

You got it!

[homegrown30]

just the Neil fix i needed!! thanks man

[curiousgeorge555]

I'm here to serve. Come back anytime when you are jonezing for more Neil. (-; ~cg5

[helmsbarn]

everything just stopped around me when i heard this..what a beautiful song...

[curiousgeorge555]

"cuts clean through"

[bfreedumb]

Beautiful song... and video. I hadn't thought of this song in a while.. it's poignant, moves me everytime i hear it.

BTW.. just subscribed... and am enjoying you videos.

Thanks for subscribing! I am always happy for that. It helps keep me going on these.

Yes the song is one my many fave Neil Young songs. Unbelievable person. ~cg55

Neil sure can provide at times. That's for sure. Thanks...cg555
