Neil Young- Comes A Time Farm Aid '86

[gryall1969]

shout out to anyone who was at Neil's show at the CNE

Grandstandes in '86. Love NY.

[nmziastar]

RIP Nicolette Larsen........Nicolette gave her heart and SOUL to this song......we still hear your voice and harmonies out in the forests.....

[monza7800]

Rufus with Cajun violin spices a fine song.

[lineinthesand100]

Did the camera man collapse at 0.51.

Great song. Would have been awesome to be there.

[zapkvr]

US fascist farmers want to fucking take on the Europeans and the Canadians and the Australians get caught in the crossfire. There was no more morally bankrupt policy of the fascist Reagan years. We're lucky it didn't start a war.

[hairyhandedgent]

Live From Manor Downs .... My ex wife and I had to decide between the show and our 10 year High School Anniversary.... We chose the show ...I'm certain we made the correct decision.

[pakantotmiss]

Comes a time and the magic Nicolette brought to the album made it the best of Neil's album for me, and it's right there on my top 20 albums all time.

[TheAdam165]

Neil, the canadian stud who blew in on a chinook all the way down through the heartland to texas to bellow this ballad of heart and soil, americanna at its best, with this sexy woman and her fierce voice. This performance was a gift, thank you for sharing it.

[Flexipop76]

Thank god for real MUSIC

[crisatunity]

Fucking awesome!

[bojanks15]

my dad whos a longtime neil young fan and suggested we play this at his funeral

[TheAKAJACKIE]

do you have farm aid 3 from lincoln nebraska?

[EtotheA05]

I love Neil's rawness with his music and this track. By far one of my top 5 favorite musicians of all time. "This old world keeps spinnin' round. It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down." Very well said Neil.

[mark54ization]

I was there, baby, right at the front of the stage! mellancamp, willie, waylon, kristopherson! they had a revolving stage!

[taemanok2006]

Rufus (RIP) Thibodaux on violin

[devolution12]

whats the violin players name?

[ve3tru]

Maybe he should of said he was Canadian this was an American thing, just saying

[Isismusicnow]

That is Nicolette? right? I know I should know her. I only saw her at the unplugged concert. I'm sorry for my ignorance

[karenjano]

He knows this is a special performance. Wind and good will! So nice to rediscovery Neil Young. Canadian soul.

[borombon]

Great, wonderful, marvelous! Thank you VERY much for posting. I love Neil Young!

[tk421jag]

Who are the idiots that gave this a thumbs down????!!!???

[tk421jag]

It's so very unfortunate that she is gone.

[reliablebow]

yep, Neil and Nicolette....magic

[dukepoope]

Hargus is the shit!

So was the slide guitar player GRHS...

[searcherboy]

Great harmonies. Nicolette Larson's voice compliments Neil's beautifully.

She was a beauty, too. RIP, Nicolette.

[takingitbackgal80]

11-12-10..to a living legend..Happy Birthday Neil Young..your music will live on forever..

[monza7800]

Did you hit you head....godlytroller.

[deadhead957]

I had the pleasure of seeing Neil Young w/ The International Harvesters in Philadelphia in the mid 1980's. Nicolette opened the show and came out to do Comes A Time with Neil and the band. All i can say is i was living in a better time then. Nicolette was absolutely beautiful.

[catia512]

That's the best music ever. I was growing up with Neil Young , Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan's music. The music goes straight to the heart.

[tiranchula]

my favorite version of this song! takes me back to a good time , and reminds me of watching this on tv with my Dad...

[PrinceBandar]

This is a great song and I like this version quite a bit more than the original recording. Neil sped it up and improved upon it with play. Also, the performances of Neil and Nicolette are classic. Thanks for putting it up!

[buccahata]

CANADIAN!

[buccahata]

CANADIAN!

[vacanthitchhiker]

These bastards are cashing in with ads on the vid. Not my doing. Every farm aid vid iv'e uploaded has got copyright infringement notices from farmaidvideos. I say fair enough......if you are going to upload a master in place of it. I'm a Neil Young fan! No money is made from this! What are you trying to achieve? Give us the good quality masters....or at least make them available for purchase. Why pursue me as a fan for uploading videos?

[MegaCalabash]

@vacanthitchhiker : From listening to these songs again I've gone out and purchased my whole vinyl catalog of Neal Young on DVD. If I had not had the opportunity to listen to these on line, I very likely would never have done that. So yes, someone IS making money from this, and it ain't you! Thanks for the memories.

[MegaCalabash]

@MegaCalabash I mean CDs. DOH.

[farmaid]

@vacanthitchhiker Farm Aid has notified YouTube that we own the copyright for these performances, so ads running on this video and others raise money for our mission of keeping family farmers on their land. We're happy for you to leave this video up so people can continue to enjoy performances from Farm Aid shows. We're also slowly uploading videos from our archives in high quality, including this one, on our YouTube channel.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[bmoser63]

@farmaid Oh, fuck off.



[gtrrobster]

@vacanthitchhiker

Nice to hear it so countrified.

What did you mean by the above...who is cashing in, Neil's faction?

[onestupidman]

this old world keeps spinning round--

thanx for the reminder, Neil

[cpesprit]

I love the videos w. WIND blowing through Neil's hair.. there was another like that "Like a Hurricane"- (I saw on TV Long ago)...Just right!:)

[72SGMAN]

@cpesprit He has a fan at the front of the stage to do this. I've seen him three times and once i was right behind the fan when i was lucky enough to be in the front of a 30,000 crowd. It does make for a cool look, though, and it stops him from sweating like a madman while rockin' out!!!

Uncle Neil's the SHIT!!! and Canadian, too!! KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD!!!!

[guytitanic]

I was there,good show but hotter n hell and couldn't find my motorsickle after the show for dust

[coralfrank]

Nicolette Larson -- she is so incredibly captivating. I re-watched here portions many times. What a darling. RIP.

[julesoz1]

They should show all the band not just the beautiful people.. !!

[broadpath]

@julesoz1 Funny, I was thinking they should have only showed Nicolette! She is so precious.

[Lazairus]

they were young there lol

[Malibuheaven1]

I could listen to this 100 times and still love it!

[MegaCalabash]

Oh my Lord he was pretty.

[athaixy1]

in conjunction with willy nelson's annual 4th of july picnic.had a great time at manor downs in austin

[amcanmike]

WHAT A COOL CANADIAN 

[Arch5280]

That Nicolette was all kinds of cute, man

[TheMRTONY1950]

In case nobody noticed... that's Rufus Thibedeaux on fiddle.

[BALKISDREAMER]

@TheMRTONY1950 NOOO??? THE RUFUS THIBAUDEAUX??? THE CAJUN ICON??? In fact, I just heard of him in a stupid but swinging song of a french singer Michel Fugain about The Acadians, "All the acadian men and all the acadian women are going to sing and dance to the violin sound, they're american boys and american girls, who's fault? Napoleon's!"Hoopy! I do my best to translate!

[amcanmike]

IT LOOKS WINDY  GREAT SONG I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS LIVE WOW

[greeniem]

i bet nicolette larson was fantastic in bed

[maxgot2balls]

gosh, fuckin love it!

[pacela26]

RIP Nicolette! loved your voice! Thanks for the autograph on my FarmAid hat!

[Kenedamick]

Nicolette Larson had pretty much the best harmony ever in this song. Amazing.

[NAMDOG54]

@tomturntxMost of your comments are moronic, at best. If you don't think much of Nicolette, then stop watching any videos with her in them..............

[rvjayoung]

Simply the best!!! Thanks!

[drweelz]

@tomturntx it just doesn't make sense how you could be so cold and have so much hatred towards someone who's choices have had absolutely no effect on you or your life, you came on here an randomly dissed her, that upsets me and thats why i dropped a few obscenities. you have shown your ignorance by having no reason to be upset, you have no good reason to hate this girl and i think its disgusting that you could say so many mean and hurtful things on a video that has been posted for her fans.

[charfman84]

@drweelz Welcome to the internet, anonymity and an audience leads to people acting like douche bags, dont get worked up over it. They want you to react to their infinflammatory comments.

I love this version of one of my favorite Neil Young songs.

[drweelz]

@tomturntx yeah change the subject after someone proves your an idiot have a nice day

[drweelz]

@tomturntx your fucked dude, she did nothing wrong to you, you have no right to judge her, you think your so righteous and never did anything wrong? so she made a bad choice big deal i bet you cant think of a time when you did something stupid that could have turned out a lot worse then it did, some people just arnt that lucky. you must be one of those fucked up religious freak like that shirley phelps roper bitch

[murfxyz]

@tomturntx give me a break - cant you just enjoy the music instead of judging people?

[drweelz]

@tomturntx I did not know that. Now I think your even more of a scumbag! How could you talk like that about someone who has passed away? who the fuck do you think you are?

[drweelz]

@tomturntx go fuck yourself you dick, she's a babe

[RoBabe1]

@tomturntx OOPS! Your ignorance is showing!

[LUDWIGPARIS]

I really miss Nicolette.

[zemzamiimad]

neil and nicolette larson had a love relation true or not ?

[spizznightelf]

such a good song

[seanful123]

Go Neil young

[seanful123]

GO NEIL YOUNG.

Also does anyone know how old Neil is, he must be pretty old as this was filmed in 1986

[ozziekamp]

@seanful123 Neil Young was born Nov. 12, 1945

[MegaCalabash]

@seanful123 He's 64.

[Skeletorical]

comes a light...feeling's lifting...lift that baby right up off the ground

[ozziekamp]

The girl is Neil's wife, isn't it? Not Nicolette Larson...not positive about that though.

[Loneace1969]

@ozziekamp no thats not Neils wife

[Loneace1969]

@ozziekamp yes nicole Larson

[desertswo]

Not Pegi Young; that's the late, great Nicolette Larson, may she rest in peace.

[deolsa]

i would love to munch that girls rug i hope it has hair like her head

[gattopirata]

A bit of Eternity...........

[AlesandroMoon]

Nice song. I like it especially the violin/fiddle

[maxigoodvibes]

she's an angel...

[MrCiaran31]

Shakey at 2:18:- looks like he's really enjoying himself ;-P

[cpesprit]

oh - Neil & Nicolette Larson.....

Forever in this CD...!

[cpesprit]

I miss Nicolette Larson!!!

[MrKevmaster105]

@cpesprit hat happend to her?

[MegaCalabash]

@MrKevmaster105 : She died of cerebral edema I think in 1997.

[broadpath]

I think I fell in love with Nicolette Larson today. She is so precious. I watched this video this morning before work and could not wait to get home and watch it again. It's something about her presence, the way she sings "tall trees" and puts the twang on the word "spinning". And how she is caught off guard by the full stop. I love her.

[borombon]

@cpesprit Did she died?

[biezulbub669]

Neil Young is the man and that chick singing is hot as hell lol. XD

[rockinroller7]

Nearly 40 years ago, the Beatles were splitting up before our eyes, and in their music, and I wondered, 'who am I going to listen to now, with such a deep feeling about their music that kept bringing me back to them.

Then I went to my first of over 15 NY concerts, with CS&N joining him for at least 3 of them.

Peace.

Rock

[updrafttower]

Great song, well known even here in Germany!

[benglar72]

What a beautiful performance. Sends chills down your spine.

[jbjumpback]

Nicolette Larson was a gift from God .

[pacotom]

Certo che qui è veramente Young!!! :-)

Neil in this video is very... young!!! XD

[Myrtle791]

There's a certain irony in that title. Just 20, or so, years later, when he sings "Four Strong Winds," He looks like an old farmer, but still with that somewhat juvenile voice. Never mind. Love his songs. Rembering a time, 30 years ago, tearing up over my Grandad & 7, hearing "Heart of Gold" for the first time, wishing I could find one.

[kotter49]

Gotta love Rufus on the fiddle.

[Dogbandit]

I that Nicollette Larson? She was beautiful.

This is my fave Neil Young song.

[joshaua7]

neil is god

[LP12ish]

am i the only person who loves Neil young and thinks this song...it doesn't suck, but it's not up to much really.

Guess there should be a? mark there but it's optional.

[LP12ish]

i'll give it a few more listens...

[LP12ish]

love it.

[blindriv3r]

I like how Neil has a backistage pass or something clipped to his T-shirt..like there was anybody there who wouldn't know him...lol

[dogfoodmusic]

There is also an Austrian version of this song - it's "Kommt die Zeit" by STS.

Unfortunately not to be found on Youtube.

[bisontegranata]

Neil Young sei un MITO.

[TunesNorth]

Great song, great memories, thanks for posting.

[jimwave]

An enlightened artist. Deep feelings: Also heart of gold: Keep on rockin'in the free world and so on.

[CodeOuch]

I think the live rust version of this song is the best... but it's not on youtube. But this version is gold as well.

[chokerry]

Neil Young みたい。。。。。すごい！！！

Go はぶず！！！

[meltdownman1]

That's Rufus playing the fiddle...he was with Neil on International Harvesters tour and the Austin City Limits Special...should be on Youtube...look it up.  Down By The River was the final song...awesome version of it

[NAMDOG54]

that is why Nicolette was his usual choice as a backing vocalist on lots of recordings.................

[REIworker]

this is my favorite song

[hansys49]

One of my favourites. Always so much of feeling in whatever Neil has done. Sadness for the most...

[birdrah]

Farm out, man.

[goboats]

omg look at nic with all her energy ..and all thanks to neil ...what a pair she so fine ..but what a back up voice im sure it hasnt been matched

[goboats]

nickalette what a beuty u were ...the world is less without you...soooo sweet

[Myrtle791]

Sure wish we could hear the "pure" recordings without the audience noise. Audience reactions are fine on comedy records, or on some personal appearance recordings like Susan Boyle's appearances where the audience applauds her glass-ceiling breakthroughs, but audience inclusion breaks the mood of most songs, to me. Most "covers" don't thrill me all that much, either.  The Neil Young'uns are an exception.

[stewartakaryan]

his music is so fun to play,there are some that are simple but still its addicting to play

[wranglerandsea]

Thanks for sharing that video, I love that song............

[marcelinoortegajr]

But on the real...this is MAD

[marcelinoortegajr]

I haven't thought of this song in awhile, I always like originals (masters recordings), but I was unable to find it on youtube, and we all know vynil is the next best thing to a master recording...RIGHT!

I'm leaving a city that I called home for twenty years giving it all up and turning it in for love...I'm comming home Sissy. I LOVE my family, I've been away to long this time.

[thinkofme14344]

What a great back up voice from wonderful lady nicolette larson..so sad she died young..ur memories will not be forgotten..(RIP)

[johnnycma1]

Backup singer Nicolette Larson died in 1997 not 1999 as stated in previous post.

[thinkofme14344]

I have been a fan of Neil Young since I was 14..Now I'm 40's still playing with his music..

[Rockitinmypocket]

Always been a song of inspiration for me.

I have always been a "Traveler," and did most of my traveling on my own throughout my teens in to my 30's before other family obligations slowed me down.

Now the time is close for me to move about, and I welcome others to consider doing it as much as you can, no matter your age. So much to see and learn.

Now, if and when I go, this song will be with me.

[AAA987365]

I love this song on the album live rust simply because the harmonica at the beggining and in the middle sounds alot better live.

[Pjinmon]

nicolette larson - both beautiful and possessed an incredible voice. unfortunately, she died in 1999. she was married to drummer russ kunkel

[donjoe333]

Who's the gorgeous lady singing backup here?

[Myrtle791]

Can't get over that Neil has that same boyish sound at sixty as he had in his twenties.

[Myrtle791]

There's just no accounting for tastes. I think the fiddle makes the song. Gives it character, or, maybe, atmosphere. Sort of a country hoedown. Somehow puts me in mind of Hank Jr's "Texas Women."

[cellamichele]

Brings back so many memories of my youth! Especially memories of Robert L. Hale...somewhere 'neath the big blue sky! Whereva you are, Rob ...i'll always love you! Muah!

[evalll666]

<~Sure wishes Somebody would put a better Version of this on You Tube. (My Good Speakers aint picking up good Bass, and it's making Me Sad!.... :(

[putdownan8dude]

that dude on bass is old as hell!

[putdownan8dude]

violin is kinda obnoxious on this. more pedal steel!!!

[Imgonnatakeu2hell]

Violin sucks, in my opinion, Violin messed up that song

[NAMDOG54]

neil young is great, but it IS the fiddle and Nicolette Larson's voice that make the song,

[thinkofme14344]

Yeah! You're precisely right saying Nicolette Larson's voice that make the song..have you seen forever young? Another Nicolette Larson's voice that make the song amazing..

[11xzxzxz]

Nicolette would not have had a career if Neil didn't give her his song "Lotta Love". Nothing against Nic but Neil is a genius.

[thinkofme14344]

Ahh! thought it was her who gave the song Lotta Love to Neil.. Agree with you neil is a genius..

[11xzxzxz]

Yeah she was driving in his car and putting some of Neil's tapes on and Neil wasn't going to use if for a record (he said) ..so he told her she could have it.

Good thing Nic had the good sense that a genius doesn't. Wish we could have Nicolette back and Neil slim again.

[NAMDOG54]

Thanks for the info. I have seen it and also ''homegrown '' live from farm-aid 1986. Also, go to the website vodpod or dailymotion and watch the 1993 ' official ' video of Harvest Moon, Nicolette is in this also........................

[PankRulez]

Amazing Neil Young!!

[XGuitarMonkeyX]

Neil is such a beast...

[clarksoncartoons]

Music master Neil Young at his versatile best...and with the late, gifted Nicolette Larson. What a favourite. What a treat to have it!

[Pacante09]

Fiddler Rufus RIP. Seems that more and more in this video have passed since 1986

[NAMDOG54]

sadly, you are right about this........ we wish it was'nt so.

[happymimi16]

this song is so good

heard it this morning and can't get it out of my head lol

[dykensta]

17 more days and i get to see the real deal neil young i hope to hear this one

[vnssgdnr]

this is a great song from the movie "Silence of the North", a must see movie. Lacy J. Dalton sang it.

[V624161]

THE GODFATHER OF GRUNGE

[mollypennsylvania]

Just look at the way Nicolette looks at him. I don't blame her!

[birdbrainer]

that is one sexy video.

[denisebrown1956]

nicollette's voice was a [perfect] complement to neil's in this song. just lovely.

[jrmrinaz]

She HAD to be a beautiful soul--her music was so good--wish I had had the pleasure to have met her

[tapintolove]

"You and I we were captured/We took our souls/and we flew away/We were right/we were giving/That's how we kept/what we gave away."

This song is so profoundly beautiful.

[bluemooze]

Great to see Nicolette. Love her voice. Good song too.

[herwig666]

a true classic !!!

even being european

[dylnsburr]

i love this song....what a voice....my favorite...
