  • @LRRP7474 Glad you're still diggin' the real music! Thanks for your comment.

  • I enjoyed this very much. what great guitar and visual effects. if I can ever learn this I will be happy and then die. Maybe...someday

  • @A4est It's Em7, D, Am7. Lead in Em

  • i need to know the show this came from and how to get it please, thanks for the awesome upload!!!

  • What is the date for this concert? I want to hear more from this show. This is amazing.

  • this version is simply beyond belief...i will never tire of the beauty of this amazing song...the pinnacle of neils great career...cant wait to get back up to boulter, ontario and play this song in my head as i walk down that little country road and forget about the united states government thats ruining our country with its lame ass policies...go to hell...power to the people! Mr. Weber New Waterford, Ohio boulterontarioman48

  • @boulterontarioman48 Did you ever get back to boulter? Yeah the guv is big time messed up here. We need a 3rd party for starters. A little integrity wouldn't hurt either.

  • light one up, put this on full screen and look at all the pretty colors...enjoy. Mr. Weber New Waterford, Ohio. boulterontarioman48

  • Jack - you apparently give the right amount of thought to every frame as well as to the overall concept & the lack of predictability is one of your greatest assets though self-contained cohesion and reoccurring images are spellbinding. The best use of morphing and faux-morphing where one assume a morph is coming but then just dissolves or knocks ones socks off is fine. Your choice of colors.. concepts..colors and patterns. Neil appreciates not too many closeups and good lighting for his smile.

  • amazing version. would u happen to be able to tell me when this was?

  • Awesome song

  • Awesome job on my all time favorite Neil Young track! I listen to this song at least once a week...have heard numerous live versions and this one ranks with the best.

    You did a really fantastic job with this work. Exactly the kind of video I want to see for this song...a psychedelic representation of Cortez's blissful distortion...you nailed it.

  • @MetalGuruMessiah "psychedelic representation of Cortez's blissful distortion" Apropos choice of words. No doubt bliss played a part. Distortion is a given. Psychedelic to the degree that the 'gods of many colors' one is willing to allow.

  • Beautiful performance - absolutely brilliant !

  • Some who know me pretty well would say I'm a bit biased about Neil. I just see myself as a long time fan, but nonetheless, mesmerizing may be an over used

    word on YT, but it seems you've captured the essence of the song, adding to what the individuals imagination might.

    The prolonged guitar solo gives enought time to set the mood, the story is told, and you did it very well for me.

    Thanks.

    Peace.

  • @rockinroller7 You have good reason to be biased about Neil. Glad the visuals seemed to add to your enjoyment. What is the point of attempting a video if no one will get touched by it? Thanks Rock.

  • @curiousgeorge555

    Of course,,the pleasure is somewhat mine, but I'm sure you gain much pleasure from creating these pieces of Gold. Alchemy?

    Peace.

  • @curiousgeorge555

    I suppose it's true about my bias, but the pleasure is enhanced by your (and fellow creator 'MetalMessiahGuru,') continued creations of gold. Alchemy?

    Peace.

  • THANKS!

  • WOWWW...LOVE THE VIDEO TOO!!!

  • @Pucklerpuck Thanks!

  • Absolutely one of the best live versions I have ever heard on this site!! complete awesomeness!!! How did you find this song?

  • Dude, this is better than the purple blotter I quartered with Neil in 67'. Excellent.

  • Brilliant live version/awesome video!

  • @wellendorph One of the best live versions I've heard. Glad ya enjoyed the video.

  • @curiousgeorge555 I sure did :) The visuals are breath taking. Is this live version available on any official cd releases?

  • @wellendorph No it isn't. Who knows, maybe Neil will one day officially release it in cd format. The vaults are a gold mine!

  • THEY JUST DON'T COME BETTER THAN THIS, imo!!! Thanks so much curiousgeorge {:D)

  • one of the best songs ..i like bridge of sighs ,robin trower live.2 great rock songs

  • I was lucky enough to have had this tune playing the first time I felt something from salvia, F 'n amazing, landing with the wind blowing through my sails.

  • @kaiagavin o eye ditto that ..an perhaps sum mdma...

  • @chromedreamz please describe, as best as you can, what you experienced and learned from it. thanks

  • such a great channel....Muchisimo gracias de costa rica

  • if we all listened to music like this and if we all toked grass ,there would be no war.!think about it.turn on your neighbors ,just a joke.our people are nazi like.

  • What a lush, dream-like version! I got completely lost in it.

    Thanks curiousgeorge for posting it.

  • @LookOut4MyLove You're welcome. Glad you got into it!

  • @curiousgeorge555 I guess Neil sort of made Cortez into such a monster (he was but he always treat his wife well) but history shows Montezuma was far from a saint and killed many unfortunates and hate and war was not just a legend !! Neil should check the facts but history class was so long ago . I always tried to find out what Neil excelled at in school.. just would love to see if he took a creative writing course . What did the teachers write about him?

  • What a spectacular creation. So wonderful in every aspect.

    The colors, the movement.....the sweet images of Neil.

    I Love it so much!! :) 

  • @DejaVuSu Thanks for the wonderful comment. I'm happy you enjoyed the vid'. (-:

  • @curiousgeorge555 Congrats on this great psychedelic-killer video .. this might top your first ""words" but it would be nice to see you joining in with a little violin. Boy Neil plays his heart out . and you worked your heart out bringing such a great video to us. Wow what an powderkeg of info you are (always informed & almost always entertaining and humanitarian of the year!). Didn't know about Cortez's wife ... Dona the prima Dona. ..

  • @DejaVuSu He probably was too busy playing and not learnin' other than being denied by bullies. Thanks I always thought is was gallons not galleons of guns! And the line "I know she's living there and loves me to this day" is followed by "I don't know when or how I lost my way" and I thought it was a reference to how society and history has lost her way . So Neil didn't like the "she's living there" well he has a sense of humor and northern man don't need him around anyhow.

  • this is awesome.. nice quality ive been looking for this song but a better version than watching the live video

  • @DontAbort It's a unique version. We are fortunate Neil and the Horse pulled this out of their souls for us to enjoy.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • @curiousgeorge555 Just a great video that should be up for video of year at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as they need a place for great videos like this one and one less place for the dave clark 5.

  • @curiousgeorge555 Lastly (thankfully) people will be studying your videos for Decades. Man Neil should see this .. he would be moved and moved up to top 10 guitarist from those silly polls that have him ranked 81st. This is also a Rorschach test of you and me and baby makes three. Your use of purple hues shows your unyielding idealistic spirit and the dark reds demonstrate your strong emotional drive but it is muted as you go back to purples for safety from those angry gods on your tail.

  • Tout est Beau******

  • @ViolaFromBelgium Glad ya like it! (-:

  • Thx mate ... Love it to bits .

  • @Bahramerad Glad ya do mate.

  • I agreed with some comments...this is a legendary song! ....apotheosis electric guitar....thanks you for sharing it with this very creative video!*****

    goes to my fav!

  • @68shamoa "apotheosis electric guitar". Great way to put it!

    Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your comments!

  • @curiousgeorge555 That's a nice gesture from you. There is so much talent on youtube, I feel the quality of my vids are substandard, but if you want to then feel free to do so. If and when I ever get time to really work and create something good, I'll be happy for you to feature it. In the meantime I'll just sit back and enjoy your creativity and quality work. And thank you for the inspiration as I went and played Cortez a few times on my electric after viewing this. Had it cranked up loud too!

  • @Powderfinger07 Thanks Jim, I find some of your vids to be quite moving and effective.

  • True artistsry... you have once again dipped your paintbrush into your soul, creating a reflection of another beautiful unique masterpiece... reflections of you. thanks

  • @blue2blueinthenight So happy you enjoyed this. As is the case with Powderfinger07 being inspired to crank his guitar up and play "Cortez" a few times after this I was inspired to attempt to make a vid' after listening to it. Imagine "It's a Wonderful Life " and replace Jimmy Stewart with Neil Young. It would likely boggle the mind to see how many lives Neil Young has influenced.

  • thats pretty psycho Dellic =-=- wish i had a hit of window pane or some schrooms , but just sake and ganja for elvis B'day today 8 Jan

  • Nice morphing @ 6:23. Your best work Jack, really something to behold. I'm sure I'll be viewing and listening to this for as long as youtube exists or for as long as I exist.

  • @Powderfinger07  I meant the 6:06 to 6:23 mark.

  • Superb upload my friend !

    One of the best song from Neil !

    Love to play it by myself so much !

    Thanks very much, also for the great info you share !

    Thumbs up ! Cheers !

  • @Zerrbernie Thank you..... glad you enjoyed it.....

  • good job

  • @selenio999 (-:

  • @88hanimart88 "Both simply wanted to express about the soul....the main part being for them to remain authentic"

    Yes this is precisely why so many are drawn to both of them...among other things of course. Thanks for expressing your thoughts my dear friend.

  • @88hanimart88 I don't want to compare Neil and Vincent when it comes to money and fame. But there is that glaring difference between the two. Both are geniuses but Van Gogh sold only one painting his entire life for $250.00 and received little to no recognition. Whereas Neil has made quite a bit and has received much recognition. Neil never let these things get in the way of his continuing to create great music. On the same token Vincent never let the lack of it get in his way. Both are Giants.

  • You know you conquer me straight with this one!!! And you get the groove with the images really matching, this is ART, my friend! I shared it with my friends of la Playa de Neil (Neil Young Noticias) they'll sure appreciate it too!

  • @yourisaforever Thanks for sharing this Isa. I'm sure that any true blue Neil fan will love this performance. I hope they enjoy the vid as well. I really appreciate your words!

  • Fabulous!!!! Right up Neil's alley :)

  • @surfcottage Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for commenting. I am so glad you enjoyed this. Have a great 2011!

  • You are right Jack, the Guitar, and vocals on this, are stunning ! ~ The best version of this song i have heard ~ Also visually superb ~ Great insight into the history of Cortez, and of the song itself ~ Another brilliant upload Jack, Well done my friend ~ All the very best to you for the new year ~ Geoff 

  • @williheckaslike ~ always great to hear from you Geoff ~

    ~ I hope I understood Neil ~ some of the lyrics are a bit

    ambiguous but overall I think it is pretty clear what he is

    saying ~ This is the best rock version I have heard... there

    are a few accoustic versions that floor me too. ~ Best to

    you my friend. Great new year to you!

  • Marvellous colours dancing across one of the most beautiful Neil's songs...- Music flowing across the water of one of the most beautiful pictures of V. Gogh - Angry-lovin' beautiful Neil blowing across time and space

    through a masterpiece of brilliant Art...

    - amazing, compelling, touching pure Beauty.

    I think Neil would really love this.

  • @pattylibraia Thanks for stopping by to listen/watch. I am always touched by your keen observations and eloquent words.

    TY!

  • @curiousgeorge555

    ...Ur welcome...:-)

  • Perfect end to my day - thanks for another great post:)

  • @louiseduvee Thanks for stopping by Lou. Glad you enjoyed this. (-:

  • @curiousgeorge555 It's a favourite; also made my 'Legendary Live 2' playlist... I see you're growing as an artist, too. Did you get a chance to see my first video yet? I've been in the Ning Galley's Mixed Media Workshop about a year now. If you'd like a referral, just ask - I don't think we have any video artists yet, so maybe you could teach classes. And, you get paid if you teach:)

  • i feel like my brain just experienced a mushroom trip ~.~ ```` very stimulating for a brain damaged mind ```` visually jack you've created neil young with the beatles on acid, a dash of pink floyd, and a hint of alice in psychedelic land ```` a very colorful and flavorful mix to neils music //``\\ this is what my damaged brain sees

  • @limegreendarlene Maybe a little brain damage isn't so bad afterall? Hey, they are realizing the brain is more plastic than previously thought. New brain cells can grow and the old....well...are they dead or just forgotten? There is hope yet!!! *(_7

  • Jack, Jack, Jack, ```` Holy Crap !!!! You're an amazing wizard ```` Are you perhaps looking for a pupil?? I'm available ... You have left me speechless!!!! //..\\

    I need to crawl inside your imagination so I can explore for a few months //// what an adventure it would be \\\\ Can you send it special delivery??

  • @88hanimart88 ...happy you enjoyed this. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. T_H_A_N_K_S!

  • Magical.heard them do this live in 76 .

  • @alargedog You were fortunate! I didn't see Neil with the Horse until many a moon after that!

  • SIMPLY FABULOUS. HIGH QUALITY WORK. THANK YOU, MY FRIEND. CONGRATULATIONS. A HUG

  • @acms47 Thanks for stopping by and enjoying this. I'm happy you like it my friend!

  • Wonderful Jack! Really enjoyed this performance and the vid is some inspiring work my friend. Excellent!

  • @Powderfinger07 ...long time Jim. Yeah, Neil kills with this performance! (no pun intended). Thanks for stopping by my friend.

  • Nice video to a great song!

  • @carrolly2k Great song to be sure. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

  • After all these years...He is still the real deal..

    Others drop out.. away...poseurs...

    Neil is REAL.

    He allows for more in one note than some do in a career.

  • @yulno There are few who can "allows for more in one note...." than other performers in an entire album or song or solo or career, but Neil sure is one. As absurd as that statement may seem, I have to agree!

  • Thank you George congrats, what a performance and vid WOW thumbs all the way up amazing

    YF gus

  • @longlostgus Hey Gus, long time. Yeah.. Neil nails this one doesn't he? WOW.

  • ahh Jack, you are the awesome ;)

  • @wggoodness Thanks for stopping by and enjoying Neil!

  • aching...an appeal...a melting of notes, chords,echoes, dreams...the heartsoulspiritcry of just wanting to live. just may be Neil's ultimate masterpiece. thanks Jack for the beauty....the women all were beautiful...........

  • @reliablebow ...and i know she's living there....

  • @reliablebow ...to this day...

  • @reliablebow Neil said he wrote this in high school. It would be ironic if arguably his "ultimate masterpiece" was written at that ripe Young age. Wouldn't that be fitting though? Enigmatic from beginning to ...........................

  • Una creación maravillosa******

  • @5SUSANA ¡Soy tan feliz que disfrutó de esto! Gracias por parar por echar una mirada.

  • Une immense chanson que je ne connaissais pas !

    La guitare est extraordinaire !

    J'ai pris un traducteur pour comprendre votre texte.

    Vraiment très puissant !!!

    BigMama §:-)

  • @lilrolter Glad you dug this BigMama !!

  • Interesting video. Stunning guitar work, and a classic song by Neil Young. What more could anyone ask for. Great post.

  • @alcest35 In the middle of this song when I lose myself there seems not a whole lot more to ask for. TY
