Have been privileged to see this man only once. At the S.E.E.C. in Edinburgh. He maybe old now but what a magnificent stage presence, the man is a God. Mesmerising and mind blowing performance - will never forget it. Love "Like a Hurricane" and this is a great quality clip.
Let's be honest here people.. The guitar solo isn't that great.. The singing is sometimes off key.. But why the hell have I listened to this song a million times? I guess that despite the above, this song just kicks ass!
@urbanfolkie The solo is good, if you're into "Dada" and other impressionistic stuff, buy you're right, it's not the parts, it's the total. Great song...great artist.
Neil Young was into new wave guitarists (Tom Verlaine etc.) at that time + also had a collaboration with DEVO, someone who was and is into new wave guitar playing like me finds this solo superb, believe me ! And these guitarists were often also influenced by Neil´s guitar work !
I got to see him LIVE in ORLANDO doing this RIGHT AFTER CATCHING my X trying to get it on with a jerkoff named RAY ELORANTA-SORRY you2 NOT I CAME IN With a basebaLL BAT THAT ENDED THE FAITHLESSNESS SORRY Sharon Lahawn
Yeah, I was there that night...Just got to germany a few months before I went to the show. Still Can't remember how i got home that night. One of the best concerts I been to.
What the hell has happened to our kids ? When I hear raw lyrics and masters like this and see all the mainstream crap out now, i just gotta say what the fuck has happened to rock ?
Que de souvenirs... Neil Young : the last real musician, the last honnest man of the rock, the only one... I like, i love it! (concert à Lille en 1979...)
With the accusations of Bruces substance abuse on this tour, there certainly wasn't any evidence of that here. The man was brilliantly superb! Him and Ralph were the perfect rythym section for Neil!
@Dave29671 Yeah I will. As a matter of fact, I'm watching it for the second time right now. Then I'll watch it one more time, just in honor of Hurricane Irene. And I bet before the weekend's over, I'll watch it a couple more times. You are wrong, wrong, wrong!
Are certain melodic seams (as in seams of coal or gold) richer than others? "Runaway" by Del Shannon and "Like a Hurricane" by Neil Young are both in A minor (Am). Both follow an ascending, descending, ascending resolution that never truly resolves itself.
"Music is the answer to the mystery of life. It is the most profound of all the arts; it expresses the deepest thoughts of life and being; a simple language which nonetheless cannot be translated." - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
Note for note, Neil drives this version home. A real intense mood throughout,showcasing Neil's vituosity as both singer, player, songwriter.. Awesome through and through !!
I have 1 beef.....man are those Berliners ever stiff.....how could you just "sit there" when Neil playing like that.....hope they have lightened up a bit since 82'
I worked i a video store in the early 1990s, and used to pop this in every night after I closed and while I put everything to bed. Twenty years, I've been waiting to hear this version (introduced me to this song, and several other), and I found it tonight. Next up: Sample and Hold, if it's on here.
The very fact that only 4.275 people have seen this video, tells what huge hidden treasure this Berlin 1982 version from Neil really is. I've loved it from the moment I bought the video. I would have loved to turn back time and be at this concert. I am just a dreamer, ..
The video In Berlin was on HBO In 1982 and I was absolutely "blown away" myself by this concert! Also, the Who's farewell tour as I recall was on HBO also. It rocked as well. I need to find a video of it as well.
Thanks for posting this, been searching for it for years, had it on vhs tape back in the 80's and lost it to deterioration. Without doubt the best version of Hurricane ever recorded. Saw him in concert in Germany 1982 or 83 with the Sembach gang.
Where are you Jim ? Machinist with the 601st CRS. Do you remember Mark ?
Great times. Awesome concert.
Thanks again VelanneSanity6511, you made my evening.
The greatest version of this song ever. The solo break at the end is godly and I love how Bruce ups the tempo on this version with his bass playing ultimately pushing Neil into a frenzy.
@BarstoolBlues33 Agreed. Fantastic, energised performance. Have to say though, that one of the things pushing Neil into a frenzy is the struggle he's having with that fucking tie! You can feel his frustration!
@BarstoolBlues33 'The greatest version of this song ever' - a bold statement. Having listened to it all I can say is YES,YES, YES! You're totally right!
Thanks for bringing this version to Youtube! I have the concert on video, and this version of Like a Hurricane is great, Neil is making love to his guitar!
I attended this concert. Another time, another world. Simply great! This concert was scheduled just for one day. Neil Young extended for another concert following night - free of entrance! He was obviously "in the mood". I will never forget.
This economical version is much shorter than Young's usual live version, and more effective for that. He followed this song with a torrid performance of Into the Black.
he is my poet, my musician and my guitarist! he is AMAZING!
