[@kevinmoore2630]

Wow 26 minutes of one of my favourite Neil Young tracks I don’t think even Neil did a version this long 😮

[@schothans]

26 minutes of 'Cortez' and never a dull moment! A beautiful song. a great band, inspired guests and a dedicated man who wanted to film and share this with us. Rock On !

[@illuminatedrose]

Rock on brother!

[@kevanrice1496]

your welcome rock maninof

[@jogirl770]

THANK GOD for Warren Haynes!

[@illuminatedrose]

indeed!!!

[@3333smitty]

I've always loved this tune since I heard it live with Neil Crazy Horse and then Grace and Satriani cover and this version by Warren is steller. Bravo!!!

[@cosmiccharly1]

This was my 1st Island Exodus which I will always treasure...Incredible music by my favorite band and the world's best fans....I just returned from IE 12 ...smiling like a kid again for all the same reasons

[@jean-denisjoubert1687]

Oooooooo, Warren was with Allman Brothers Band and and founding member of the jam band Gov't Mule. He is a boss, definitely love this version of this hymn, thks guys

[@karenscigliano9787]

THIS. This is a trip. So far, Neil included-- my choice for best live version. Of course, David Hidalgo's beautiful and haunting piece aside, no other musicians have dared to cover Cortez The Killer...me thinks. Still....THIS. wow. In Negril, yet....🖤

[@leckomio3]

Oh...wow. Anders Osborne is my dearest discovery the last few years .😍😍😍

[@frankzappa0815]

[@lickmyfuckinnuts]

First time I heard it on slide,I like it 👍🏼

[@michaelehrhart9413]

If you never saw Warren and the Allman Brothers live, you missed it.

[@illuminatedrose]

I feel honored to have seen them so many times. ...also Hendix was pretty rad, but I was too young to be recording then

[@srgbuffalobuffalony7112]

What a great combo of talented geniuses and a great rendition to! Wow! One of my favorite jams. Thank you for posting. Thank you.

[@kb0cow]

Unbelievable Wow!!!

[@TheDeadheaddug]

Such a great jam done here! Thanks for sharing. 100 % enjoyable, I could feel the Jamaican heat just burning through...

[@bernhardloth8447]

This is epic!! EPIC!!! Freakin’ EPIC!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@walterrumpold9015]

loooove it what else can i say let my heart jumpin!

[@terrystepp]

This is the best thing ive ever heard. I've been to so many shows and have never heard anything like this. The black crowes have probably come close to putting something like this out there, but idk. Warren is probably a top 10 guitarist of my time that I've seen live. Anders is more than solid in his own right. Hot damn i love music!

[@BorrowedTune1]

Huge thank you...tickles the taint!

[@alexhopedonach543]

Know what you mean!!!

[@juanjoseyebenesalfonso938]

Cortez el súbdito. De Cortez el valiente y arriesgado, una persona de culto le sorprendería y le alegraría el alma su existencia escuchar ésta canción. Os lo aseguro. Un saludo desde Sevilla. España

[@jacobatkinson3281]

[@cptbli]

nice

[@jean-michelpascal7962]

What a Killer...

[@juanjoseyebenesalfonso938]

Leí por ahí hace tiempo que Neil no pretendió reivindicar nada cuando compuso ésta canción. Algo parecido a lo que hicieron Red Bone con su canción: Todos fuimos heridos en Wonded Knee. Lo pillais?

[@calam51]

bonne ambiance !

[@Jigglypoof]

I'm amazed your hand didn't go limp after recording a 26 minute song! Thank you for this, though.

[@illuminatedrose]

LOL…I wasn't that easy…especially since I wanted to move and dance and sing along. Thanks.

[@TomHorowitz]

illuminatedrose thank you for this!

[@JaceqM]

super

[@netamendonka8048]

Alguien debería invitar a Neil Young a tocar esta bellísima canción al Zócalo de la CD de México 😊.

[@billlivingstone6387]

Nobody covers like the MIGHTY MULE

[@illuminatedrose]

SO true. So many times better than the original band. LOVE Dark Side of Mule so much

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

@@illuminatedrose did you actually see woody live?

[@mikehernandez1373]

second to none

[@homerfantastic]

The national anthem of Slojamistan

[@michaelehrhart9413]

As good as this is...there is NO BAND on the planet that plays this better with Neil Young (on his black Les Paul) with CRAZY HORSE.

[@jeffcosser4872]

Not true.. Dmb Live at msg .... much better

[@chetdunham3434]

Les Paul? I believe, sir (or madame) that you are deeply mistaken. Some people may mistake a great Gretsch for a Gibson, but the more observant among the human race most likely wouldn't make that error. However, they would clearly take this particular song to be a classic, whether played on the crappiest guitar or some bizarre oboe. Listening to this wonderful rendition, I'm pretty sure Neil would approve.

[@smwrbd]

Quit yelling "yeah" just listen.

[@illuminatedrose]

I've seen shirts with talk in-between songs..or listen and talk later. However, I have heard that the bands sometimes like it...I don't especially when it's in my ear.

[@michaelehrhart9413]

Those are the sorry, stoned, drunken bastards who never get out of the house and spend their entire paycheck Friday night. Worthless POSs...

[@colefd]

Twenty six minutes--WTF, over?!

[@rogerantonybennett5272]

I remember the days when there was only one version of Cortez the Killer. This is a great expansion of Neil Young's epic composition..... but I'm having difficulty without the NY whining vocal. NY was recently compared with Bob Dylan for singing out of tune well the singing here is immaterial - it's all about the guitars but BD was way off pitch in the early days 1960s - both became adjusted vocally in the studio (cf Cher !).....

[@tomneily9506]

The intros not long enough

[@Frost811]

I hate to be that guy but how the fuck does this only have 5,000 views?

[@populierendreef]

60000!!

[@TheDrumanchu]

wtf...Anders is stoned...and Warren looks dumbfounded
