Top song !! Had this on a cassette that got chewed up years ago..not long after Live Aid itself, & I was so pissed off as it was a great version of a great song..BUT...Years later I have a very happy ending to my little story as HERE IT IS..in all it's wonderful glory !! Thanking you very very much for posting this..You have made my life complete..Peace & goodwill to you ! Rx

Man I was going to college and saw this in person, didnt realize at the time how much of a Neil Young fanatic I was going to become especially after he started doing the Bridge School Benefit shows in California, wow does this bring back good memories thanks for letting us see this!

[martyyates]

What's up with the low volume?

Don't remember this myself from LiveAid (did watch a lot of it live though).

All time fav Neil track al lthe same. :)

[taemanok2006]

Was great! Saw it using my Brother's satellite (huge damn antenna)

[shmuleson48]

I think this is the best performance of this song.

Too bad you get stuck with that type in the middle of the screen

for the first minute of the performance.

[robbyled]

funny, in 1985 I hated this. but now I've come to understand the lyrics and how great this song is.

He doesn't seem to have his effects pedal box here. Old Black sounds cleaner than normal.
