[acountineveruse]

Neil Old..

[LightSnowOvernight]

Neil just keeps reinventing himself....one of my heroes dating right back to my roots in Canada

[JohnNorthWillys]

NEIL YOUNG SAYS HIS ROOTS ARE COUNTRY ? --- YA RIGHT !!! -- HIS ROOTS ARE PUSHIN POOP IN FRISCO !!

[rogwheel]

@JohnNorthWillys He's originally from Canada. And who are you to question his roots?

[JohnNorthWillys]

@rogwheel ROGGY BABY ??? NEIL YOUNG IS AN ENIGMA !!! --- HES LIKE A SPOOK IN THE NIGHT !!! --- HE TOLD ME THAT HE LEFT CANADA CUZ FRANKLY ---- IT SMELLS BAD !!!

[TheMinusTen]

Country music these days is such bullshit pop music.

[BrokenChair88]

Neil Young is changing my life right now!

[RogerImhada]

@BrokenChair88 He changed mine in about 1980, go with it, it's all good *-))

[dvorakmark]

dig.

I think I heard part of that version of 'Down By the River'. During that tour a BBC show called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' was filming a 1 hour special about Neil "going country". As far as I know they never broadcast it apart from a sneak preview, with some bits of interviews and 'Back to the Country'. Then, at the end, the host said, "And just in case you thought he'd forgotten the old stuff..." and they showed a couple of minutes of GREAT 'Down By the River'!

I love you Neil your music gets right into my soul and makes it sing, such brilliant music over so many years it is totally impossible to have just 1 favourite

[MyWakantanka]

I love you Neil your music gets right into my soul and makes it sing, brilliant music

[oldbutnotforgotten]

I called up Tim Drummond tonight and he was in good spirits. Some of his favorite memories are of playing with Neil and friends - from The Stay Gators to The Shocking Pinks to The International Harvesters - some incredible players, indeed!~

[kjallesoft]

Whatever period of life this guy was and will be N.Y.'s firm message is always PEACE!

Better than anyone he knows and spreads how PEACE is the best a man can get.

Even what a lot of people miss the most ... the more if they just do not know or hate it.

God bless!

[chockie2360]

I went to this International Harvesters show in Melbourne Australia at Festival Hall. It was the first time Neil came to OZ. Neils right these guys were really in sync and just hit that groove. I too loved Ben Keith's slide playing.I remember Rufus being a really big guy who just threw himself into his music.

[kfc63822]

NO ONE GREATER THEN NEIL YOUNG! Bob Dylan & others get the press & the ink but NEIL YOUNG is the GREATEST

[xrockangelx]

I want to hear the 20 minute version of "Down By the River" he mentions in this video!!!

[frankieharris1]

@xrockangelx Yes, me, too. I would so love to hear that, wonder where it can be found...

[retopglmiller]

"Ain't singing for Pepsi, Ain't singing for Coke, Ain't sining for nobody make me look like a joke". Niel has always been a non conformist. He actually does march and play to his own drum. "You know a body feels empty when there is no love inside it. You know a body feels empty when there's no love at all". Rockin Roll ,Rock a Billy, the Shocking Pinks, Niel has always pushed the limits..... Nice reflection of that time and the artist in your life. Rock on Niel!

[muzboz]

"it was just like fallin' off a log..."

NEIL.

LEGEND.

[rubbersole79]

Yes, all these players were great. And they got to play with maybe the very best singer-songwriter artist of all time.

[MsZeppeline]

wann gibst du in deutschland wieder ein konzert???? wir lieben dich

[joerayskrha]

Neil, Whose face was imprinted on your shirt you wore at Bonnaroo?

[YouGenie]

What a wonderful tribute to some inspiring souls. Very classy Mr. Young.

[CosmosOfBeauty]

Must here that "Down By The River". Soon.

[mnredman]

So glad I got to see Neil in concert. Ben Keith was there too. Neil Young's music speaks to me. Soundtrack of my life.

[trebleboostboy]

i didn't know mr ben keith had passed away.

i am glad to have heard him play live the one time that i did.

he could stop........and create time....with that slide.

x.

[raggasoldiercrisp]

Thanks for this Neil. Live Up!

[chromedreamer]

the guy with the red baseball cap has the best job in the world!!

[shackbhoy]

I could stand it if Archives 2 was ALL Country ! Country Neil's my favourite !

[shackbhoy]

I've always loved Old Ways because it was the first Neil Young i ever heard , i bought it on the day it came out , purely out of curiousity . I was 18 and bands i liked (Green On Red , The Long Ryders) used to name him as an influence , i thought , hmmmm , think i'll check this fella out . I thought it was amazing and didn't realise it was any different from any other Neil Young album. Still love it despite having all the rest , i always will !!! CLASSIC album.

[dougvdzz]

Bummer. I didn't know about Ben Keith. he will be missed for sure.

[MajorTom156]

Ben Keith is everyone's bro

[tommyratboy]

A 20 minute version of Down by the river? With the harvesters? I'm going to need to find my wallet...

[gilmour6754]

Neil's the man.

[paulreemo]

i love this live album ..............its in the car and never leaving the cd player ...............cant wait for more and more live stuff neil .

[bklockhart]

What can you say? Just Neil paying tribute to his band...to his friends. Listening to him talk about the late Ben Keith in particular is very moving. Gotta get back to the country back where it all began...

[jim6873]

You are the Real Deal! Classic!

[reelife]

hell, I'd pay to just hear this guy talk. a thought just accured to me: he's like the grampa I never had. Neil is an all time classic human being.

[ecclesiasticous]

@reelife Agreed. A show where he, say, plays a small set followed by an extended period of him just talking about his experiences and telling stories and his ideas about things, followed by another short set would be one of the more worthwhile ways to spend your money. Then again, I suppose all his songs are talking about his experiences and story telling and his ideas about things so really, you get that every show.

Yep. Totally useless comment right here.

[reelife]

@ecclesiasticous not totally useless at all. I think this would be a great idea and I betchya Neil would be into it. I noticed during the Greendale tour, that he seemed to really get into telling these little side stories, that in some, way were offshoots of his life, for sure. Plus as time goes on, I'm sure Neil wouldn't mind taking it down a notch and just relaying some of the stories of his life. Who knows, maybe this little ole post will make it to him and give a little inspiration :)

[gretchenblitz]

Just listened to the interview. I loved Hawks & Doves and Old Ways when they came out and I still love them. Thanks for being you Neil! It's always the right thing at the right time.

[gretchenblitz]

I saw this performance of Amber Jean on Nashville Now and have had it in my mind ever since. Glad to finally see it pop up again.

[pjautuvas]

Neil Young is fucking badass

[fireflourisher808]

gota love neil

[gretchenblitz]

@reelife ~ yeah, I can relate...like the brother I never had.
