@oliverecords I went to see Neil Young play the Tempodrome in Berlin, sometime back in the 1980s. The concert was moved to this tent called the Tempo drome for some reason and when Neil came onstage he said, "Jeez I didn't know I was gonna play in a tee pee" - pure classic. I was right at the ...

I don't listen to many covers but I'm certainly glad I stopped by and listen to this version. Absolutely brilliant effort Albert - you've captivated the mood of the song although you sing quite a few keys lower and of course with the acoustic and harmonica. The harmonica solo at the end is as h...

Good cover of a rarely covered Neil Young song. David Briggs would have loved the rawness of this set.

Brilliant find. I've never seen an actual video of Neil playing this tune though. Has anyone ?

@CognitiveDissonanceX Agree, Benoit not a patch on Anderson and neither is the keyboard geezer a patch on Wakeman. Sometimes I think it's time for a band to call it a day and I think now is the time if they cannot get all the original members back. My problem tonight is that I watched the 1973 ...

It's always nice to see different interpretations of this or any classic song. Willie puts his own stamp on this, as did Eva Cassidy etc etc and they all do it justice. Christine McVie must be really proud of this.

Love it. It's a piss take to karaoke and probably to America. This guy is a male version of Joni Mitchell - positively brilliant.

what a fantastic tribute by prince to george

Neil wrote this at the very beginning of his career and if you listen to all the pieces to this track, you can only amaze at what a great songwriter he is.

thanks for that. I'm not a good picker but I play chords ok so it will help

Neil Finn calls him the quintessential Englishman. Exactly

It's a great tribute to Neil that such diverse artists such as Norah and Radiohead are covering his songs.

Fuck all the negative comments. Thom has said in many an interview how much he respects Neil Young's contribution to the music industry. This is a brilliant cover albeit it uniquely different in some parts - I love it.

Superb performance by a class act.

@MrJDurao Absolutely. Listen to the clip again - Louis said that Kitty wasn't connected with the public which means she wasn't get the votes plus all the negative press reviews she was getting. Louis' actions didn't make sense but that's the X Factor for you. Frankie is the biggest joke on thi...

I saw this Rockpalast live back in 1980 whilst serving in West Berlin, I recorded it on my VCR but the tape has long been chewed up. How do I get to purchase the DVD above please ?

Brilliant song written and performed by a briliant artist. Re the weight issue - there isn't one so why don't the managers and the beautiful people go fuck themselves.

potter of her head she forgot most of the words. If you're gonna cover then dont forget some of the important words Gail Satriani was of course brilliant.

Kudos for playing it their way. The fact they recognised a great song and introduced it to the thousands in Central Park is a great honour to NY. What a killer.

First time I've come across this guy and he rocks. Only one complaint and that's that he never showed what his left hand was doing so that I could copy lol.

Jeez another superb cover. Is this open tuning I wonder.

@sugardevil49 It is indeed sad that the guys didn't do more stuff in those 40 years. But then Neil wouldn't have become the superstar he is today, there probably wouldn't have been any Rust Never Sleeps or even CSN. We can't have it all, but we can always wish..

Wow glad I found this and the other concert related clips. Still is still a great performer despite the stroke he endured. Neil is as good as ever and its the first time I've seen Richie.

@jlgkl23 God alone knows how still survive... RIP Mel and Wooly. Interesting that you mention us - am I talking to the great John Lees ??

Absolutely brilliantly done. Agree about the electric guitar, but hey covers don't have to be exactly the same as the original.

Great song but did anyone notice Stills error at 6:18 during the 2nd verse of that part. Should have been Voices of the Angels, ring around the moonlight and not Lacy lilting lyrics losing love lamenting. He did correct this in the 3rd verse.

Apologise if this has already been brought up - its...

@arekayvee Neil young wrote this song and the expression Tin Soldiers says it all. Nixon sent in the inexperienced National Guard because the regular troops were getting blown to pieces in Vietnam. I would hope this would not happen again but it will and not necessarily in American. Remember T...

I get goosepimples when the organ comes in at 0.50.. The harmonies, as already stated, are absolutely spot on. Which makes a mockery to those who said Neil's voice didn't fit in with CSN - Bollox.
