The guy singing harmony sounds like the audience member Neil called up to the stage to sing harmony with him at the Horde (I think). It was on the "Acoustic Afternoon" compilation
I would love to hear the first version of this song. When I first heard it, off the album "Freedom" I was underwhelmed. (For Mr. Young that's not all that bad.) Then I heard a live bootleg version from the internet that blew me away-almost a totally different song. I guess this is just one of those songs that need to played live and when the muse is telling you it's right, otherwise it's just filler.
probably one of my personal favourite neil young songs. i love the acoustic recording and i love this electric version. im actually seeing neil young tonight in toronto at the acc -gonna be a great show, i hope he plays this song.
Dunno why he ever changed this to electric. Anyone who has heard the original recording way back when it was supposed to be on Chrome Dreams back in the 1976 will tell you it was just utterly gorgeous in it's original acoustic form.
That's why he is Neil Young ... e.g. who would ever have thought of changing Like a Hurricane to an organ piece? That's what he does, that's why we love him, that's why he will always be our KEEPER OF THE FLAME - American version. There's a British version too -- called Ray Davies.
@stina20a no he made a quote in an interview to that effect though. after he made the album "harvest" he said "i was afraid my career was becoming middle of the road, so i decided to drive my car off the road and into a ditch".
then he made his 3 best and darkest albums... time fades away, on the beach, tonight's the night.
he is one of the best,legendary,spans generations,rock -on neil

If neil played it on a banjo and Ben Keith play backup congas, I would still get wet over it.

@clank4001 Sounds like your a Neil fan and a good person to ask. Does Neil have a song about someone laying in a ditch or on the side of the road?

@what1111000 Thanks - it seemed to me I'd heard a song of his to that affect once and I've been looking for it.

Like a Hurricane was written on a piano after a night of drinking at the bar. Key is A minor, which is all white keys on a piano.
