Neil Young Old Man live in '71

[MrRockermocker]

this is so powerful in so many ways

[theBESTdustyrose]

Wow ohhh Wowwww Just look at the number of hits this video has had. Absolutely mind blowing. What talen this man has brought to our lives. Please Neil, keep them coming as long as you can and symptom, thank you so much for posting this video. Your a real gem for doing so. :-)

[symptom1555]

@theBESTdustyrose I agree, and you are very welcome. I actually had no idea that the views were that high. :) I had not looked in awhile

[RealVulcan]

This song makes my life. Listening to it makes me want to do amazing things in life. I'm 14. It moves me.

[symptom1555]

@RealVulcan Your post makes me think there is hope for the future yet...

[joandemas91]

AMAZING!!!!



[nonokayakjack]

God I love being Canadian born and bread! The son of a WW2 vet and grandson of a naturalized Canadian going back over 100 years now! The boat that brought my granadfather from England made an inpromptu stop somewhere off Newfoundland to pay respects to a shipwreck that happened 1 year previous. That disater was the Titanic. How ironic that a journey that started so somber for my family led us to a country that makes my heart explode with joy whenever I think about it!

[KatelynRLewis]

@nonokayakjack i like bread 2

[TOMMY23711]

LEGEND!!!!

[SaltySangster]

One handed skill increased to 100.

[J3urkasaur]

He's kind of awkward, but it lends itself to his persona. He reminds me of Sid from lords of Dogtown.

[Brynben1]

great song

[fuzzypige222]

music was important during our times...dream, thoughts, emotions, love, everthing poured into the music then....coupled with musicians who could play guitar, drums, bass, strings, brass, reeds, and arrange it all for so many complex feelings, no wonder it trumps the music today with the copying and money waving...todays music gets tiring so quickly, wish there are more stories and words going to the heart

[Tellie72]

the greatest generation world war 11...gave us values, and a foundation solid as granite...this we cannot follow or ever be equal to them....however the baby boom generation will go down in history as the music generation....the absolute best music was made in our generation....this is our legacy.......peace..jbt

[liduv1977]

@Tellie72 I totaly agree. 

[Scotts87LX]

The word profound comes to mind ... and timeless .. thank you Neil Young

[lithiumpunk]

Whenever I hear this song I always picture Jay Adams shaving his head

[RealVulcan]

@lithiumpunk OMG I LOVE THAT MOVIE<3

[MrJohnerick92]

Badass song bro

[amitchell2009]

where did the real music go

[robertlaughon]

i can't see it

[janetj1281]

What is there to say? Neil is a LEGEND!!

[oby3000]

dam he looks so high, you can just tell hes just sitting there in his own world and nothing else going on outside matters just the music going through his head.

[HAWF1]

amazing song every times i listen to it, it brings back memories and every time i cry.

[stevezerbst]

Growing up in the '70's, this music will never get old. Love all the folk legends of that era, Young, Dylan, Baez & of course, Harry Chapin. This particular live clip is truly a gem. Thanks for posting it, feeling like I'm 17 again!!

[shifta187]

Music!

[BOOMdudes]

137 people liked it so much they turned their computer upside down to like it again

[Bohacification]

@BOOMdudes Wow. Dude you're a fucking genius. I've never heard that kind of response to dislikes. That is amazing.

[ziggyblack1124]

this is a great song, he looks soooo stoned

[Slomoshun09]

song*, wtb edit button youtube...welcome to 2012.

[Slomoshun09]

This is my dad's favorite artist well maybe tied with Eric Clapton, and he's going in for surgery next week and I've been listening to this son every day since I found out. I wish my dad the best, anything can happen when under the knife.

[dustin741]

haha, the dislikes don't register, you cant even see them.

[Bohacification]

@dustin741 Dude you're right! The red is not even being rendered! LOL

[theprestigeing]

brilliant live!!

[MyRobbi1]

Amazing walk down Memory lane thats for sure! Awesome!

[221bigmac]

This song reminds me of the better days i've had with my dad.

[CassandraAntares]

Such a gifted lyricist!! incredible

[Rockajockgivefreedom]

I didn't really get to see my dad much I try to make him proud but I doesn't work lately I've been get in a deep depression

[blite13]

Why are there no talented people anymore? Where are our hearts? All driven by ego, money and greed instead of what is in our hearts....wake up people.

[ADD112]

californication had james mccartney's excellent cover of this timeless track... also to the children please stop yearning for an era in which you were not even born. it is unbecoming

[DOCTORX316]

@ADD112 I just watched that episode and I had to come here and listen to this version

[VABozorgmehr]

41 years later, I'm 20 years old and this is my favorite song. Born in the wrong generation, take me back!

[Sanctuary1952]

As beautiful as ever. Timeless musical genius

[mindfreakswe]

<3



[symptom1555]

@mindfreakswe <3

[hotstuffandicecream]

Why did this kind of music have to stop? The 70's rock will NEVER be repeated.

[mrfrogbutt1]

@hotstuffandicecream This music NEVER stopped. Things dont stop as long as YOU keep them alive in your heart and turn the new generation to TRUE music and TRUE art. The reason why everything sucks now is because WE allowed the foolishness to take over and stayed quiet! Keep listing and KEEP spreading the gospel of true art to the young ones.

[MrRazorblade999]

It's about the janitor on Neil Young's ranch.

[symptom1555]

@MrRazorblade999 Ranch Foreman

[0Madek]

@symptom1555 Haahahah, a janitor on a ranch?

[soggybottom]

Brilliant.

[empireemp24]

THIS is fuckin poetry!

[levalpat]

great performer, great song writer, great lyrics, great emotion.... 41 years later this song still is fresh and will remain so

[john1979to1983]

de-dead this song

[pxm7271]

Real music

[pjelvis22]

hey guys. also did a cover of this song. need feed back please. thanks!:)

[BugsKingsnakeBunny]

Some people were in a corner, boxing against themselves bowing only to their shadow which means nothing but the reruns within their minds

[susanbrigitte]

He such a sweet voice.

[Themiamicrusader]

This is why music has so much power. People like this. Songs like his.

[mokshaw]

great song i love neils riffs

[Wiseguy0709]

Definition of true musical talent...when you can hold an entire concert with nothing more than a guitar, microphone and your voice...

[skythani]

@Wiseguy0709 he did more than hold it. much more

[GreekCanadianMe]

@Wiseguy0709 yeah but that was a simpler time, don't forget. :)

[MrDeadbabys]

@Wiseguy0709 and his harmonica

[besamemucho5]

@Wiseguy0709 hot damn...ain't you right.....and the more amazing thing is that he can still do it....

[Papoliteo]

One of the greatest Rock clssics and one of the coolest guys on the planet, though i am not quit sure which one.

[whillop]

Beautiful video of a beautiful version of a beautiful son by a beautiful man .

[xXdjskaterXx]

man this reminds me of my dad.

[denisehersh7]

BRILLIANT!!! Neil Young YOU are a Genius!!! I love everything you do!!! Keep ROCKIN in a FREE WORLD!! Peace, love and light...XOXOXOOX

[footballfan49x]

if you disliked this video then f@#k you!

[gifts43602]

amzing that a song written about a farmhand can resound in our hearts about the father figures in our life and our hope to be or not to be like them, neil young a true artist even if he didnt realize it we did, thank you neil.

[boomx6]

Epic!

[mjw9363]

I'd sell my soul for that guitar now 40 years older

[MrComingtogetyouable]

Nice performance

[Zizou4mvp]

how can 135 ppl dislike this? WTF

[Bohacification]

"Give me things that don't get lost." Give me back my grandpa!

[ckplayer654]

plenty of people can look down on a certain type of music but i would be hard pressed to find someone who can write poetry such as this...these comments are fucked

[XtremeTendencies]

such an emotional song for me, thank you Neil Young

[jgreenleaf18]

The 132 people that dislaike this are idoits!

[pepperman911]

Anyone who thinks Neil Young can't sing - CAN go fuck themselves. Nowadays it's all "Auto-tune" bullshit. Worst of all - todays' music stars (don't & can't) write their own songs. Not real songs anyway...Long Live real talent....That goes for music and other talents such as Howard Stern on radio. He is a prophet of radio, just as Neil Young is a prophet of music. Long live true talent!

[MrComingtogetyouable]

@pepperman911 Amen

[JRVMurphy]

i am 20 years old, i love my father! destiny said that he had to go to somewhere far way from me... i would be happy to be like my old man, he is an inspiration, his all life is a book that has a lot to offer to me. The best person that i will ever know....i love you dad.

[jimmyskytrain]

@MrGavee ......Same here. I feel your pain......

[MrGavee]

Its funny, I've spent my whole life trying to self identify and create my own self, but now that I am older, all I did was run in the same footsteps my father ran when he ran from his father. Trying not to be my old man, made me just like him.

[Tellie72]

a song when i was 20...now i am an old man ....time somehow slaps you in the face!

[briluvsjbieber]

luv&hapee OAMIII

[theBESTdustyrose]

This is on the "Harvest" cd if your interested. It's one of my favorite Neil Young cd's.

[MrNugua]

@theBESTdustyrose A perfect album! You can spin it over and over again.

[lynettedias]

One of my most favourite tracks.. Love him!!

[beczaranza]

Great song.

[KerryW79]

this song has always been one of my faves.

[thisisrandoification]

I love you dad, thanks for everthing.

[shifta187]

@thisisrandoification Tell that your dad and dont post that ish on youtube?

[antonio23334]

E UN GRANDE

NON CI SONO PIU COME LUI

[FritzHippler]

I watched my father take his last breath and witnessed his body reduced to ashes, I fear I am about to watch my brother four years my senior do the same. In the end it is all the same living, fucking, dying

[TheJaybird7]

@FritzHippler Cheers.

[Jenscool]

@FritzHippler u forgot eatin'!!!

[BlessingDesecTV]

@FritzHippler what?

[trampredboy6544]

@FritzHippler I wish i could say the same for mine ,cheerish the wisdom he besstouled on your spirit,sorry for your loss.

[mrfrogbutt1]

[Tinafigureskater]

[Chuckyeggs19]

[zigwontdie]

[zigwontdie]

[momosteur]

@zigwontdie like a coin who won't get tossed

[breastmilkification]

[Deepstarr7020]

"24 and there's so much more"....sigh.

[bowerybetty]

Seriously...a treasure.

[traboys]

Golden oldie

[grooviescycleshop]

If you dig this you need to check out The Regretting Man

[lawrencerasmus]

What a great song

[georgew1100]

I think half of the views were from me

[54321nicolaskurtf]

@petestyle I like trance and dubstep and I love Neil Young so don't insult techno fans

[petestyle]

@54321nicolaskurtf ....lol, so do I, it was a tongue in cheek comment....I was being sarcastic/ironic given my whole reply was what that guy had said about rap music...cheers

[bilbobagins1951]

young man listen this is what is in front of you old man listen been there done that loved this when i heard it in 71 still love it now

[fullstrutn]

in the day of writing from personal experiences NOT fluff to fill a cd

[theBESTdustyrose]

I love you Neil. Your the best man. : D

[Bratrecord]

Grande, grande e unico....

[bheimie2783]

all the good music from the 60's and 70;s is fading away..my kids kids will probly never hear this beautiful art ..i dont think there is any music today that people will remember 20 or 30 years from now..except myabe maynard.

[xL7xThePanda]

im playin this song at MY old man's funeral,

[TheBluesDixonary]

When I first heard this song, I was a young man. Now, I'm an old man, yet the song has the same meaning. We all need love. Or something like it.

[viciousforsid]

wow. very rarely is a live version so much better than the original

[DaBears08]

Man this live performance is so great to watch

[hanslammerding]

It's a good song, enjoy it or not

what brought you here naked in the full frontal mirror of yourself?

[TheRocknroll70]

God i love Neil Young

[getbuckist]

people that dont like this song are either deaf or illiterate

[23rock3]

This song is so incredible. I really hope that inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Thumbs up if you agree. I think it could happen if we all start uniting and getting inspired by seeking the truth of life. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present. What it says will blow your mind.

[sawfish111]

Pure genius. His raw expression had the audience under a spell. Isn't that what artists do? I love the pause between his last chord, the applause, and then the ovation.

[kaptainbastard]

I like this song and i am a rap hip hop fan too.i like cypress hill and busta rythms.everybody likes this song.

hey you the rock steady crew.

[MsAquamarine61]

great song old video live in 1971 but it never ages! I love Neil Young!

[johnnyrockittunes]

[TamaWaterstreet]

[KanapeFilou]

[lushusification]

[KeyOfStrife]

@lushusification Yeah, i wasn't born till 1993, i bet there are kids who like this song who weren't born till '01

[Ahmadi2625]

I dedicate this song to my grandpa who passed away yesteday R.I.P <3

[akashkapri]

This Something Really Heart touching...............!!

[saw2much68]

This will always be true to my heart...!!1

[bpdrocks]

This song on the album Harvest. Dedicated it to my dad. It brought tears to his eyes. Thank God for geniuses like neil young to express ourselves.

[jekyllnhydebaby]

/bow

[twoford2]

makes me think of my father,may he rest in peace

[sunnyrayism]

Now this is Music !!!!

[brknhrt83]

Anybody know what DVD this is from? Thanks in advance..

[Andromelian]

I'm old man.

[barkerroberto]

When this came out I was 24, and in the Army during a thankless war. "Didn't that much to me" then, but it sure as hell does now, 40 yrs later..........

[rcpt1xp770]

Miss being 16

[wichitarick]

OH BOY! Played a long list of happy Hippie tunes & thought I blocked this. To many tears in the memory's Christmas Eve & am not leaving to visit DAD again. A life time of hearing this & the relationship with my old man always comes out I guess.It became, It means EVERYTHING to mean something to YOU. Old man & young hippie meet in the middle,became two grown MEN can laugh NO MATTER what.I have evolved into a bit of an old Hippie with a lot of my OLD MAN'S character etched in to it. RIP DAD Rick

[humebridgitte]

[Flannymcdimes]

Yo dawg, one can't can't rap to this shit!, in fact I stood on the dancefloor looking confused adjusting my woolen (%75 polyester ) skull cap nervously as I did not know what to do then they played some normal dance floor fare and I was "the man" again

[BMXBikePanorama]

what happened when people used to play instruments. played them good too

[footballfan49x]

My father used to sing this song to me as a child. He passed two years ago. Thumbs up if this song is your life too

[shoegooguru]

I was in HS when this song came out . Neil was already huge. I loved his music then but I love and understand it deeper now that I have lived much more. Thank you Neil!

[guitar6192]

why was i born in an age where music like this is unknown to my generation?(1992) and the charts is full of talentless shite that i cant switch on the radio without hearing. fed up of the misguiding midleading media that affects our time these days....

[BOUTHALAZIZ1]

Awesome!

[rcpt1xp770]

Hay Julie

[taylordavis1234567]

People that dislike this song are rap fans.
