[MiMecenas]

Genial, genial, genial

[cldbstrjr]

hi i posed before on this i think if not this ones way kewl even without the vocoder still sweet ;]

[rustedstevie]

Thanks...not my best effort but a ton of fun and a very important song to the man himself (as the rusties call him)

[computron808]

@cldbstrjr Niel young uses a vocoder in one of his song??

[rustedstevie]

@computron808 Yes on the Trans album he used it on over half the songs. It was very techno for its time.

[Polygor]

Steve is imitating the vocoder that was used extensively on that album.

[SilentGunman]

Sounds like Kermit The Frog.....

[daprospector]

well then he must of done good cause thats what neil sounds like

[BillyIsATwat23]

--- well then he must of done good cause thats what neil sounds like ---

LOL, that was my joke ;-)

And before anyone gives us a "thumbs down" I bet if Neil ever heard someone say it I bet he'd find it funny.

[guyglowmore1]

nihilistic

[doughaddix2003]

I thought Neil Young was singing at first on this video.

Really good job!!!

[zeppaman]

great job man. I closed my eyes and could see Neil up on that stage

[mrssaba]

I love this song. You covered it so well.

[rightquick51]

Thank you for your posting. It is such a good song. May the Lord bless you, whether you believe in the Lord or not.

[thebreakup123456]

amazing cover wow , my dad loves neil young as i and were gonna see him in edinburgh next month , showed him this cover he was crazy about it

[mobdeadmeat]

Trans was a bold step for NY...for which he was sued by his record company...lol Always loved the album and this song especially. Shame this experimental period of NY's career has been so widely forgotten. You did a great cover, thanks for posting!

[rustedstevie]

After this it was the rockabilly Big Pinks...big letdown after Trans

[YoungDylanFan]

@rustedstevie Neil can do no wrong in my eyes but I have to agree Shocking Pinks is my least favorite Neil period.

[jdmarcus59]

why was he sued?

[elmoryl]

For "unrepresentative music" i.e. not sounding like Neil Young.

[cashmoreturbo]

Did the record company win?

[PhilipSkovgaard]

"After another flop, Geffen filed a $3.3 million lawsuit against Young in November of 1983, terming his recent work "not commercial" and "musically uncharacteristic of [his] previous recordings." Young responded with a $21 million countersuit. Both suits were dropped within a matter of months, and David Geffen wound up personally apologizing to Young."

[southrules]

[Madmax914]

*raspy voise* III FEEELLL A LECTRIFYED BYYYY YOU!!!!

[GilsMusic]

Great rendition!

[mancsakacarl]

real good cover man respect :)

[ELMQUIST]

cool!

[rustedstevie]

I ran the mike through a cheesy guitar pedal to get the slight effect heard on the video. I saw him do Trans here in the Twin Cities back in the early eighties. I loved it. Welcome to the Tube

[DeborahYIP]

Awesome rendition,congrats and thanks for sharing it ... and it was really Great of you to have included such relevant info on the song/Trans album on your vid description !

LONG MAY NEIL RUN !!!

[kingriothe13th]

[louisdudson2]

Excellent, I really enjoyed listening to that several times, great voice!

[rustedstevie]

ThaNKS....I used some effects..I just kistened to it for the third time..total. Missed a couple notes but hey...so does NY

[matt3794]

This was great. I love the Trans album.

[rustedstevie]

Thanks Matt...not really layered like the original but kind of spacey..

[Miker2]

great cover! I dare you you to cover sample and hold now! that would be interesting acoustic.
