Not seen this version on here so i thought i would upload the Anthology Album version of this wonderful song.
This is probably one of my favourite songs by Roy even though its a cover of a Neil Young song.The guitar playing is just sublime.
Get that speaker cranked up to 10!!!!!!

There is a great blues tradition of mimicking a woman's voice with your guitar. This consummate solo is Roy's interpretation of a woman begging and struggling for her life. You can find similar treatments in some of Hendrix's solos, particularly 'Machine Gun', where you can hear the cries of women and children in war.
This is a brilliant solo, filled with passion and anguish. No shredder can match the emotional intensity of this, unless they stop trying to impress, and start trying to feel.

In spite of his obvious virtuosity, it is plain that Roy totally gets Neil Young. That is what is so cool about all of Roy's covers. He totally GETS what the artist was trying to say. Same with Hendrix and all the others that he covered. True genius.

Love this!! And now I see where Buddy Miles got his inspiration for his own version of this tune - not from Neil Young...

Wow this song brings all bad memories...

The Stones wanted him to fill in after Brian Jones.

It was always a joy to see Roy at the Crossroads, his steady gig. Hung himself after a DUI in his jail cell. If that ain't the blues. Roy. There always hope baby.

@DazedConfused1969 True artistic genius will eventually be recognized but certainly not contemporaneously!!
