01 Neil Young - Out On The Weekend (Live at the BBC 1971)

Live at the BBC 1971

[@ts-ef3pw]

50 years later and this song is still brilliant

[@chadswart]

And still.

[@JS-it3dx]

This guy is so legit. He plays for the fans and the music not the money and fame and is one of the best one man bands in history.

[@CrackzTV]

One man band. yeah fucking right. The stray gators and crazy horse are equally responsible for the amazing music he made.

[@kenmosholder1935]

I’m a huge fan of Neil Young. But to say he doesn’t do it for the money is incorrect. Yes he plays for the fans and the love music, but he did buy a big ranch with money he made.

[@mickspastik4227]

Strange. Every time I've bought one of his records I've been asked to pay for it.

[@lewisc215]

He's very wealthy.

[@jeremyparr9448]

@@lewisc215 he has a very smart, very educated and very Jewish CPA. Seriously. No stereotypes intended sometimes the shoe fits.

[@ignacio.carral]

When he hits the A chord, everything sounds so round, so right!

[@FunkHitsTheFan]

That 1968 Martin D-45 probably worth more than a million now considering it's Neil's.

[@conorsearls4277]

Arguably my favorite Neil song....I love the comment section....reminds me there are many people out there who are just as strongly influenced by what this man puts into his music. Thank you Mr. Young for not holding back, and letting us share in your passion for life.

[@kristalynnmertz]

Check out the new version by Joy O…(sp?). Just type in Out On the Weekend and you’ll find it. It’s literally even better than this one. Though I love a classic. I came here to hear the original live in this version. Joy’s (female) version is sung to a different/modified tune and it’s just brilliant. One of my favorite songs ever. And I don’t even know why. The words are so funny and disconnected but dang it’s awesome.

[@xtc1957]

Pure as the driven snow. Like golden wheat blowing in the breeze. This is Neil for all he's worth, just the big old Martin, the harp, and that powerful but also delicate trademark voice. He is an inspiration for anyone that believes in the expression "It's all about the song." That condenser mike makes his guitar sound like a cannon too! I think he's the only artist that it's "impossible not to like." Mountains of respect I have for this guy.

[@mrjohnnytoobad]

LOVE and respect ... in abundance.

[@slooky14]

While he did create a lot of great music, He did put out a lot of duds

What a comment, marvellous!

[@reliablebow]

Great comment my Friend🎶✨

[@robertw377]

"Impossible not to like." Lots of people say they don't like him because of his voice. Then you play something like this or Old Man and they can't help but change their mind. It's just so involving is the best way I can put it.

[@lawrencemintz]

I have seen Neil Young alone I have seen him with CS&N and I have seen him with Crazy Horse at the Fillmore East Woodstock69 and Carnegie Hall and he was brilliant every time. I have been into his music for about 50 years and he never disappoints. This is a beautiful song.

[@jeremyparr9448]

Never disappoints huh? Look up the concert in Louisville, Kentucky at the Freedom Hall and the riots he caused because he was too drunk to not piss himself..... A fuckin hells angel went on stage and chopped out two big lines of pure Colombian cocaine to wake him up and get him through the show..... He says in a piss drunk voice....... I’m not doing that shit and wipes it off of his Piano.... Not a thank you....., Not a no thank you..... Not a “you are a lifesaver” Nope...... the drunken bafoon tells a hells angel with gold star tats on each pectoral “fuck you” for a such a nice gesture, then proceeds to further disrespect the Angel by wasting his Cocaine.......... It was the last time he was ever too drunk to perform. The Angels Rioted, the Rest of the loving fans turned on their riot modes and destroyed everything. Neil Young was so drunk that he missed the entire riot......

[@siegfriedseitz4226]

[@driverain2]

By the time I was 13 I had already suffered so much pain that I could relate to every note and word of this song. I had a friend and today at 65 I love him still.

[@joshthomson1998]

I love Neil Young. But one thing that's just as great is the fan base because from what I've seen everyone is kind and sustainable with one another. And I love reading stories of peoples "back-in-the-day-in-my-pickup-truck" and they make me wish i grew up then and not now. So I count you all as family and I'm proud to be apart of a loving fan base.

[@benholland1331]

awesome comment dude

[@zacharyvance6801]

+Josh Thomson i agree with ben holland.

[@blacksunshine1212]

Josh Thomson I'm obsessed with music from this era and a lot of times wish I grew up in the 60's and 70's, but the fact is that will never happen. The grass is always greener on the other side, right? At least we have all the greatest music ever made available at our fingertips. Something that was never available back then. The internet is a great thing.

[@larsroumen831]

Beautiful said my friend.

[@estella5619]

It will be to difficult for me to name all of the wonderful bands nowadays but check out festivals like desert daze there still are great bands rockin out you just needs look, love ya and keep rockin ✌🏼🤘🏼

[@BluestoneBayVideos]

This song makes me feel happiness and sorrow at the same time. That first note on the harp gives me goosebumps every time

[@heismm23]

It has become increasingly difficult to find any artist who can calmly change not only perceptions, but entire minds like this man did so many times.

[@robinkline492]

Yes, so true!!

[@ladykws]

I love you, Neil. Thank you. Forever, thank you.

Close to 50 years ago now, and it's still as pure and beautiful as the first time I heard it. Timeless.

[@kingcosmo7322]

My favorite song ever written and sung. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Sprtschk]

I especially love this as it kind of seems like he wrote it a few days before and didn't quite learn it and perfect it yet, and still he absolutely kills it.

[@Taff1967SC]

props to the BBC for a quality recording

[@BeerCigarsAndTexas]

Just a man and his acoustic guitar and it's simply beautiful

[@jayouellette79]

Never ceases to amaze me. Its one thing to be able to play this song, it isn't very hard. Its completely different to be able to write so beautifully and to be able to have just one man and one guitar enthrall a stadium of people. Truly amazing.

[@gb747gb]

Wish I still had that old yellow VW , Just to Cruz in the white mts of Arizona & listen to Harvest one more time You still get the music, the VW is Long gone., the memories are still on my mind 52 years later !!!

[@L.C.Sweeney]

No matter who else I discover and listen to Neil will always have a special place in my life. His music is inherent in my memories of childhood, teenagedom and adulthood. The soundtrack to my entire existence. Not to mention the man who got me into country and folk which I can't imagine living without.

[@HC_GUITAR]

Simply stunning! Neil plus acoustic guitar is a magical thing, nobody does it better.

[@andrewsteele604]

Listening to a song this good, you ask yourself, “how is it humanely possible to write such beauty?” The everlasting question of great art.

[@TheTartanSoldier]

How's Neil Young so much better live than he is on the studio versions? The quality is the same but the emotion in his voice increases by 10 fold.

I saw Neil YOung five times. and every time he was brilliant. I love his music.

***** No I think you're right. In this, and the Massey Hall performance, he says he is trying new material. I find the Harvest version weird compare to this cause I've heard this so much more.

[@walterpewen7903]

Neil sings of an ethos that does not go away. Yes, if you heard him then on the radio like we did it was wonderful and more. But remember--Neil always bucked "popularity." It just happened that in the early 70's we were into it. And people still are, look for them.

I rediscovered this song a few weeks ago. I was alone in some boring area and my phone proposed me to listen to Harvest. It was more than 40 years I was avoiding this masterpiece chilled to re-feel what I felt when I first listened it, as a young teen ager. The magic popped back, She was and she is so fine, ans she is still in my mind. What a mistake! My eclecticism is smelting under the sun of Neil's voice... I am dead!
