[@AL-jb1mh]

If you could see the introduction to this video, Neil explains that he purchased an old ranch and that an old man who worked as the caretaker of the property came with the purchase. This song is about them and their unique relationship considering the land they lived on. It almost feels as if "the old man" became Neil's father figure and provided him with many insights into the aspects of life.

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

As Neal tells it, the old caretaker also asked “How does a young man come to be able to afford a place like this” and his reply was “just lucky I guess”

[@1perfectpitch]

Thanks. They needed that background. First time I saw him was with Buffalo Springfield. Yes, I'm that old.

[@pablozee6359]

I’ve seen this performance with and without the introduction, and it’s amazing how much more emotional it is with the backstory.

[@TeresaGrimes-qp9ic]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! DONT FORGET HARVEST MOON.

[@anthonymanuge6237]

That old mans name is Louis Avila

[@Tijuanabill]

As an old man, I can agree with the line, "It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you."

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

It meant just as much when I was a young man.😊

[@thevictorianedge5465]

There’s something about turning 50 and my attitude changed too!!❤.

[@DD-sr9xm]

Um it’s the younger man who owns the ranch saying “it doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you” … it means I employ you, do what I want

[@Tijuanabill]

@@DD-sr9xm I can't agree with that, sorry. Why would the young man say he's "been first and last, look at how the time has passed, I'm all alone at last?", after saying "run around the same old town". These are not the words of a young man, at all. To me, it's obvious the writer is interested in the old man, and his life, but the old man couldn't care less.

[@1perfectpitch]

Are you beginning to understand why we Boomers are so critical of today's popular music?

[@hazmania]

With good reason. So much is rubbish, no poetical or lyrical mastery, barely literate to be honest, and far too much use of electrical gizmos to auto tune the voice, the instruments. Summed up as many “artists” can’t actually sing in tune, can’t play any instruments, or can barely play one, and couldn’t write beautiful, meaningful lyrics if they tried. Obviously there are exceptions (like REN, Dimash, Aurora, Oliver Anthony) but mainly the criticism is fully justified. Annie, Cornwall, UK 🙂🌸

[@dmwalker24]

Gen-X here, but I'm right there with you. There's the rare exception, but almost everything being produced now seems like they got it from a landfill on a hot summer day.

[@teresamerkel7161]

absolutely; boomer here

[@LudusAurea]

Your problem there is “popular.” Most popular music is trash and has been for a long time. Good music is rarely popular.

[@1perfectpitch]

@@LudusAurea That's why I said it. Because there is some good music out there if you look for it.

[@user-tf3fe3ko5i]

Ohio is one of my favourite songs by Neil Young. He's a social warrior. it's a deep song

[@patticampana9458]

Wasn't that Crosby Stills,Nash and Young? Not just Neil?

​@@patticampana9458, Neil wrote the song.

[@mynameispaul0530]

"Needle and the Damage Done" live at Johnny Cash Show is one of those legendary performances also.

[@patticampana9458]

Absolutely!

[@snarkleton26]

Johnny Cash - righteous! Among the best classic country musicians. His deep voice and Neil's high vocals would have made a unique and groundbreaking duet.

[@dagmar.6954]

I love this intimate performance with just Neil & his guitar (harmonica). He was only 27 when he recorded this song as a young man. Now he is an older man at 77 years old. Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best.

[@olgagarcia2836]

After the Gold Rush ..my favorite of his❤❤

[@steveullrich7737]

Neil has so many great songs to recommend. He started out in a band called "Buffalo Springfield" and wrote and sang "Mr Soul". Some other songs are "Cinnamon Girl" and "Everybody Knows This Nowhere" and "Down By the River". His albums from the early 70s include "After the Gold Rush" and "Harvest" albums which rank are up there with the best in rock. Check out "Don't Let It Bring You Own" and "Southern Man".

[@kbee6078]

I was 19 when this came out. I enjoy it just as much now at 70, but in a different way. Much more relevant now. Neil Young is legendary. And Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young was one of my favorite groups.

[@carolyncostner9619]

The song "Ohio" is a part of our national tapestry. It reflects a dark time in our past. Worth the listen.

[@mariosarro]

Neil Young is a Legend , One of the Great Singer/ Songwriter , solo , with Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young , right up there with McCartney & Lennon , Simon & Garfunkel , Frey & Henley of the Eagles , the 60's & 70's Music was Magic , Real Music . Thanks

[@BaseballMom523]

I just saw Neil Young a few months ago. He only played one "hit". The rest of the songs were deep tracks and songs that he never released. He meandered all over the stage playing all the different instruments. As someone who grew up with this man's music, it felt like a great honor to see it live. He was funny too while talking to the audience. Try Harvest Moon, Rockin' in the Free World, Cinnamon Girl etc. You can't go wrong really.

[@djd2819]

You are so right. "Decade" is probably the greatest album in my vinyl collection - and that is a mid-career greatest hits album. He has produced such an amazing range of songs.

[@leekarr4909]

I was at one of those shows last summer ❤ it was an amazing experience. He's still great!

[@marilynatkinson3735]

Now we just need to make sure we expose this music to our children and grandchildren. Let's not let it die. ❤

[@dwoehrma]

Living legend. And he still creates tons of music. Have seen him live multiple times. You never know what Neil you are gonna see. Folk rock, hard rock, jam rock, protest rock. But its always worth it.

[@blackbird8900]

Great reaction. I love Neil Young,as did my Dad. He played it for me from the time I was a tiny baby. He can probably be considered as Canada’s greatest musician. For a good retrospective I would recommend For What It’s Worth - Buffalo Springfield (first major band), Ohio - CSNY, , Needle and The Damage Done, Down By The River, Rockin’ In The Free World. My favourite is probably Helpless. Check out the Last Waltz performance of Helpless with help from The Band and Joni Mitchell. 🇨🇦

[@danarchuleta1154]

Better than the Rush trio? 😉

[@violetflame23]

Better than Joni Mitchell?

[@dusty4835]

''For What It’s Worth'' is a Stephen Stills tune.

[@CharCanuck14]

"Helpless" was written about Omemee, Ontario (just down the road from me), population about 1,020, where Neil spent some summers as a young man & his father lived just outside of town.

[@michaeltlewis3481]

I really like the time spent on discussing the historical significance and impact of Neil Young as an artist, songwriter, and guitarist. Kudos!

[@tammyderson6547]

Love Neil Young music! His guitar and his harmonica is so underrated big time! My favorite is HEART OF GOLD ❤

[@PaulJoeTX]

Well that just melted me. I remember when this came out! I was a kid. I’m 60 now and that old man. Life imitating art. Saw Mr. Young a few times by himself and with his band Crazy Horse! Memories! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@papacarl2002]

Well said my man. Just turned 60 as well and this takes me back too. Glad we both made it to be “old” men, graced through the years with this amazing artist. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@PaulJoeTX]

[@kimnapier8387]

​@@papacarl2002I am an old lady, about to turn 61 in 4 days 😅. My mom was going through a divorce when I was 11 and turned me on to Neil. I will always treasure those days and the music that reminds me 💕. God bless you!!

[@garygoodrich7495]

who needs a freakin band when you're this talented. The texturing and layering- -the back and forth with the highs and lows---knowing when to let the notes breathe--what notes to play softly and when to pounce on a note or chord is so missing in today's music. True musicianship and composing at the highest level.

[@armadillotoe]

I was 20 years old when this song came out. I look at it differently at 71. I still enjoy the song and most of Neil Young's songs. How many modern "artists" could walk out on stage by themselves and captivate an audience? He also plays some of the nastiest electric guitar you have heard. Listen to "Rockin' in the Free World."

[@aramhamparian9641]

This is completely beautiful, yet haunting at the same time. Unbelievable...

[@judithdoughty7967]

Loved that you've done Neil Young, he's one of my favourites, but I nearly spat my tea out at the Paul McCartney comment 😂 May I respectfully suggest you go back and take another look? I seem to have spent half my life saying "I didn't know Lennon/McCartney wrote that"!

[@KarlaElaine100]

Sebs, your wife is beautiful. She has a natural beauty…beautiful in an evening gown and beautiful in sweats with her hair pulled up and no make up I would imagine. Even more, she’s not arrogant! That makes her even prettier! Looks like you hit the jackpot!

[@lazy5692]

He definitely married up.

[@carolgiangreco6548]

I enjoy how you two enjoy each other and the music. God Bless.

If you haven’t listened to The Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, you and Ali should. He was a fantastic storyteller Taxi is always a famous song. He was a known humanitarian also.

[@susanyork5089]

As a Brit who has adored Harry since Short Stories came out , who saw him live not long before he died thank you . Harry is the greatest story teller in song ever .

[@37434mh]

Neil Young is one of my all time favorites-glad to see you’re listening to him now. “Rockin In the Free World” is a good one. “Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)” is as well. Listen to that and “Hey Hey, My My (Out of the Blue).” “Cinnamon Girl,” “Ohio,” “After the Gold Rush,” “Powderfinger,” “Southern Man,” “Like a Hurricane,” “Wrecking Ball,” “Cortez the Killer” Oh before I go on-you gotta here “Cortez the Killer” live. Seriously. Other than that stick to the studio versions mainly, but check out both of them eventually. “Down by the River,” “The Needle and the Damage Done,” “Cowgirl in the Sand,” “Sample and Hold,” “Comes a Time,” “Fuckin Up,” “Its a Dream” Actually-just listen to all of them lol😂😂😂 But really the ones I listed are really good songs but I couldn’t possibly list all of his really good ones because there are so many.

[@RichardWilson-be8zp]

Neil is a musical Icon. His discography is immense. Might I suggest you check out his song Philadelphia that he wrote for the movie Philadelphia it's a tear jerker I will tell you that.

[@lindalafrance2241]

my Husband use to sing this to my Dad ,now he is 76 and now when we hear this song we now know it is for him. We love him.

[@stanshearer7343]

You should listen to his song "Alabama". It was the reason Lynard Skynard mentioned it in their song "Sweet Home Alabama".

[@certpt]

On the album version, a young Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor sang back-up on this classic song.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Neil was inspired to write this by the old caretaker (Louis Avila) of the 'Broken arrow ranch' that Neil bought in 1970. ~ Love Neil's voice & his music. He is a poet.

[@MrCBTman]

Kind of blown away by how underwhelmed this reaction was. I think this is one of the best live performances on KZbin.

[@pablozee6359]

Probably because they reacted to the version without Neil giving the amazing backstory and context of the song. I’ve seen that version many times and it lands differently. I’ve never seen this version without the introduction, and it felt very different. Interesting what context can do.

[@bobdelp2023]

VERY VERYYYYYYY COOL YOU GUYS!!! 😊NOW NEIL'S THE OLD MAN, THINK ABOUT THAT HUH? YIKESSSSS! 😮SO THIS IS 52 YEARS AGO NOWWW AND THIS SONG IS FROM HIS EPIC ALBUM ( HARVEST )👍WHICH ALSO HAD THE HUGE HIT : HEART OF GOLD😊 JUST INSANE STUFF SEBS & ALI

[@Lakeshore14]

Highly recommend a protest song written by Neil Young and recorded by C, S, N and Y. In 1970 five students who were participating in an anti-war protest at Kent State in Ohio, were gunned down by National Guards troops. Neil Young wrote a protest song that day called Ohio. It went on to become one of the most moving songs of that time. Hope you can find the time to react to it. Thanks for Old Man by NY. 👏👏🥰

[@dennispurdy3533]

when you mentioned his unusual chords and leaned forward to see, he was playing, it was a D chord shape up on the 5th fret which makes it a version or inversion of an F chord.

[@alanbrown3963]

Neil is such a talent. So much versatility, talent and lyrical genius. If you want a glimpse of the bridge to grunge check out "Out of the Blue and into the Black" or his work with Crazy Horse. You will really enjoy Neil Young. His lyrics make you think about life and how you live it. It is liberating to live that lyric "It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you". Live for yourself and be your best self. GOD will take care of the rest if you are living for GOD.

[@paulmartin2348]

I think this song is what ever it means to you. That is the beauty of great song and great poetry is that is says sometime different to every person that hears it. I bought his album "Freedom" when it was released in 1989. (I was 17 years old and it's still in my CD book on a shelf in my room)

[@richarddevine205]

I believe that if you search for 'Cortez the Killer, the best version ' live, you will see him at his finest. I got to see him in the early 80's at a music festival while doing my 2nd tour of duty while in the US Army. I have an almost 3yrs older sister and I have been listening to him since the Buffalo Springfield days.

[@tammyderson6547]

Hello Allie, always a pleasure to have you and Seb react to a song! You always say oh I look a mess and I always say,she’s a beautiful lady with beautiful hair complexion and don’t know why she says that ❤y’all have a beautiful family

[@taragreenetarotastro]

Neil Young has a totally distinctive voice, just a 24-year-old guy with an acoustic guitar. That total talent. Neil is an incredible musician, songwriter, and singer who has always done things his own way. Also considered to be the grandfather of grunge. Famous in Crosby Still and Nash. Another Canadian music icon.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

Their is another clip of this performance on youtube and it includes him talking about the song before he sings it.. It seems he bought a ranch that had an old man living on the ranch who took care of the needs of the ranch. Seeing that old man moved Neil to write a song about the different generations and how all generations are similar in that they need someone to love and be with,

[@rogerledoux4741]

If you want one you have probably heard, it's heart of gold. I believe they were on the Same album. He also sang that at the same concert as this performance.

[@daveloboda1769]

I've loved his music since the first time I heard it more than 50 years ago, he is one of the all time best singer/songwriters. Try anything off the "Harvest" album, you won't be disappointed.

[@WitchelliB]

Saw this song done live in the 70s. Means so much more to me now as an old person.

I've seen him several times. Neil's banter is funny and very entertaining, but his voice is so strong and he's so talented.

This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite performances. Neil's vocal control is insane.

[@TheTazman63]

Nice, the song is about an old ranch hand that lived on a ranch that Neil purchased. Listen to the intro of the song, he explains

[@leekarr4909]

Neil Young is an incredible musician, singer, songwriter in every style he has chosen for over 50 years. I've seen live as a rocker during his Rust Never Sleeps days, as part of the amazing harmonies and musical perfection of CSNY, as one of the legendary musicians performing for 3 days at Desert Trip 7 years ago. Summer of 2023 i was lucky enough to catch him in an intimate outdoor setting, only about 6000 seats, and his performance was mesmerizing! IMO still one of the best out there. Enjoy that rabbit hole, I'll enjoy watching you on the journey.

[@keetahbrough]

I live just down the road from Neil's Canadian childhood home town, Omeme. My bf took me there, because he's a big fan, albeit I"m no fangirl. But I do love some of his music. Check out Rockin in the Free World.. the song is not what you might think. It's an indictment of Western Values and The American Dream. Harvest Moon... my absolute favorite song of Neil young is a love song.. Heart of Gold. All my suggestions for you two to experience... now, finally. last thing. Neil Young critiqued the southern mans beliefs and value systems, and so he went down in history, immortalized in the song Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynrd. xo

[@LoisChisholm]

I have always liked Neil Young's songs, but his voice (like a Stevie Nicks solo) grates on me. Even so, this one is my favorite Neil Young song. I could listen to his guitar all day.

To get the perfect two sides of Neil Young you might consider reacting to his songs "My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue" and "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black) IN THAT ORDER, in one video, which hasn't been reacted to like that, but should be. The studio versions, though they were actually recorded live for the album Rust Never Sleeps. That will give you everything you need to know about what he's capable of.

[@papacarl2002]

EXCELLENT suggestion. Why hasn’t someone done that yet?!? 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@MojaveEast]

I would love to see the reaction to the first 10 seconds of the second song. And it would be interesting to see if anyone gets the reference to Elvis and the line about burning out as opposed to fading away, then name dropping Johnny Rotten. That album from 1979 was the culmination of maybe the most amazing period of music from an artist after the Beatles. It's why Rolling Stone named Neil Young Artist of the Decade, and that was back when that actually meant something. @@papacarl2002

[@sjd5750]

I play and sing, and I play this song..Chord-wise it not a very difficult song to play, but it is notorious for being very difficult to play the way Neil does here..When I first started to learn the song, way back when, it frustrated me no end, to get it close enough to Neil's version..I didn't want to copy it, just get it where I no longer wanted to pull my hair out..That was about 20 years ago..I'll let you know how it turns out.

Love your take, yes we all go through the stages in life. I think Neil in my eyes is an artist. I agree he was a poet. Nice one

[@alloccasionsgiftwrapping4767]

Neil Young was very close to his father. When I saw him here in Dallas, Tx back in 1981, he had his father with him. He brought him out and introduced him to the audience. I thought it was very sweet.

[@dolorestoolis4690]

NY factoid; his song Heart of Gold, Linda Ronstadt sings in background. Per Linda story he called her up and asked her to come over in and sing background.

[@jamessimmons1486]

If you want to get into Neil with CSN&Y you need to listen to the song "Ohio".

[@Fatty.D.McButterpants]

I was never a huge Neil Young fan, but I always liked this song. My favorite though, is "Harvest Moon".

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Yes, his voice is awesome here. He has very popular songs 15-20 years later that are rougher. Also, his singing was overshadowed most of the time by all three of the other guys in CSN&Y, so his association with other elite musicians divided some loyalties.

[@timmyrushton9203]
