Drummer reacts to "Like A Hurricane" & "After the Gold Rush" (Live Rust) by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

After owning the DVD for months now... I thought it was about time we got to this performance(s). After the Gold Rush was in Boston and Like A Hurricane was in Boston, I believe... and what a rendition of hurricane. I mean good god. That was incredible. One of the best things i've ever heard...

These days, when Neil is singing "After The Gold Rush" he sings "Look at Mother Nature in the 21st Century". Still relevant as much as ever, and Neil Young is still The MAN.

[@bobschenkel7921]

I blew it. It's "Look at Mother Mature ON THE RUN in the 21st Century". Doh.

[@BeeGee56]

Neil is always raw emotion-his singing, playing and writing. That’s why we love him

[@paulschuyler2320]

Wife here. Big Neil fan I’ve seen him 11 times. Live Rust is awesome saw it at the movies when it came out with my older brother. We were knocked out by it. After The Goldrush album so worth listening to . Enjoy .

[@clifton8929]

Neil's guitar playing is so overlooked when It comes to talking about great players. Nobody sounds like Neil.

[@user-sx9xi2tn4b]

Live Rust version of like a Hurricane I could play 10 times a day and never get bored of it

[@L33Reacts]

Same here that was incredible

[@RhettAnderson]

1970s was the environmental decade. First Earth Day. Recycling. Anti-pollution. The Clean Air Act.

[@carolcantoni6694]

If you want some chills, watch Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris sing After the Gold Rush on David Letterman March 1999. Perfect harmonies!

[@mikerichards67]

Please do it, STUNNING!

[@StevenTyree-sl2nx]

As somebody that doesn't play an instrument, it always amazes me that he can play harmonica while playing the piano.

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

Have probably seen Neil more times than any other artist. We both lived on the same mountain. He played locally, so fun. ❤😊

[@mevdinc]

What a talented artist. He's definitely one of the best guitarists ever, he can do amazing things with the instrument. One of my favourite musicians.

[@jimhockley9730]

neil has touched me so deeply. he's a big part of the reason i picked up a guitar in the sixties. so glad. music is so important and brings love and joy to life. proud to say i think i could play with crazy horse now or jam with neil. couldn't imagine many decades ago that i'd still be playing music in 2024. or that it could be this good. special music. glad that younger people are getting turned on to this.

[@BrianR.]

I've seen him Live with Crazy Horse 4 times in the 80's and 90's... he's an amazing performer and the band is so tight.

[@sherilynkd]

We saw him during this tour along with Crazy Horse. When my husband and I were on our first date, I learned he was a huge CSN and Neil Young fan (check out Neil’s one man band). We were leaving the bar when the band started playing Like A Hurricane. Being from the Gulf Coast on the southern part of south-east Texas, I had been telling him (from NY state) about hurricanes. We lean on this machine in a small lobby, holding each other until the end of the song. It’s been our song ever since.

[@bobschenkel7921]

The live "Rust Never Sleeps" DVD is one of the best live concert videos ever produced. Neil also directed the film, under the alias Bernard Shakey, the man has no weaknesses on stage.

[@beverlyoyarzun3326]

I vote for the cover by The Trio- EmmyLou, Dolly, Ronstadt. It’s ethereal. Truly.

[@mysterysurf4554]

That's Neil solo on "After the Goldrush." He's playing piano and harp. Poncho Sampedro, normally the rhythm guitarist, playing string synthesizer on "Like A Hurricane."

[@theeloquentbaby]

I never knew this song. It’s funny how it’s possible to be so moved just by Neil’s voice singing the first words opening the song… “I want to love you but I got so blown away” His solos express it SO passionately! That distortion was a scorching longing! Thank you for sharing this, Lee! What a beautiful song about loving someone. Maybe a happy ending comes with “Harvest Moon”… Harvest Moon is like the other side of that love ❤️ Along with Dear Prudence, it’s one of my very favorite songs. “I loved you with all my heart”. That’s Neil Young. Lee, Harvest Moon is where you fell in love with him! “Poignant and simple” (Feeling hurt helps you heal…)

[@DavidMusil-pq5bk]

Hey man, the more I watch you the more I feel like I'm a friend of yours. My brother died when I was 19 and in the Marine corps, I was stationed up in New Hampshire at a nuclear submarine base call Portsmouth naval shipyard up in New Hampshire/kittery Maine. He passed away before his 29th birthday, that was a 1981. This coming September I will be 62. I have a lot of albums, you never make any money selling your albums, so I decided I will send you them a little at a time. I have a lot of Joni Mitchell I have a ton of CNS and Young, I even have a bootleg Neil Young album from when he first started. I gave all 60 of my Zappa albums to a friend who needed it more than I did. I have donovan, John McLaughlin, not as much stuff as I did years ago I sold a lot of it to get drugs when I was young. I could kill myself for doing that. At some point I have to find out how to privately message you so I can send you my phone number and figure out how many albums I can send you at a time so it doesn't make me go bankrupt shipping the stuff. But I honestly want you to have it. I live in Milwaukee wisconsin, for some reason I don't think I live very close to you. Anywho man, you're the best reaction video to music of my time that I've ever seen I pray you get way more people watching and listening to you. Take care dude.

[@L33Reacts]

don't feel bad man. i sold my unopened led zeppelin II from the 70s that my mother gave me. sold my kit that my mom helped buy. sold all of my dad's guitars who died and left them to me except 2. i sold my soul. i sold everything but the skin i rent. i'm glad i woke up and realized I honestly didn't want to die, i just wanted a purpose and some one to actually love. i was given both of those at the same time at the exact right moment for me to actually do something good with it and now here i am. on my 17th second chance and it finally stuck. we all have our war that we fight for ourselves and i lost every battle for 10 years straight but somehow survived to fight another one. and now here i am, finally starting to win them. i just always choose the hard way for some reason! lol sorry for the novel. thank you for sharing my friend. you can email me at the email in the description of this video (If i put it in a comment it will get blocked for some reason) to set something up. you are too kind, david. im sorry to hear about your brother..

[@DavidMusil-pq5bk]

@@L33Reacts your novel was just fine, I could tell you stories about my party days, in a big way I do miss them. But it really didn't do anything for my life. I just was retired because of back surgeries and such neck surgery, too much skateboarding. I started skateboarding in 1968 and now I'm going to be 62 and keep skateboarding. My neurosurgeon isn't happy with me. I had to retire early because of car accident and hurting my back at work. Your novel was wonderful I completely understand. Somehow though I do want to get these albums to you. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be around I gained so much weight after the covid thing, and it's really hard to lose at my age. But somehow I will get you these albums.

[@thruppence-ys9zp]

Neil Young is such a great songwriter. A simple turn of phrase can speak emotional volumes

[@stevepas1]

Down by the river, powder finger, cowgirl in the sand❤

[@vanthspiritwalker]

I saw that tour in 1981, the stuff of legends...

[@ragnarmyhr7238]

This album is insane. It's a really rough sound. I love all the songs.

[@debjorgo]

From wiki on the After the Gold Rush song: "After The Gold Rush is an environmental song... I recognize in it now this thread that goes through a lotta my songs that’s this time-travel thing... When I look out the window, the first thing that comes to my mind is the way this place looked a hundred years ago." Neil had a big push for vehicles powered with gasoline made out of corn. It was very environmentally friendly.

[@doriwiljt]

I've loved Neil ever since Harvest came out

[@tommonk7651]

Neil was/is a genius. I saw him solo in around 1983, and he was brilliant.... To this day, one of the best concerts I've ever seen. He played acoustic and electric guitar, harmonica, piano, synthesizer and banjo.... A few years ago, Paste magazine had Young in the top 2 or 3 of living songwriters with Dylan and McCartney.

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

My personal favorite live album of all time. I wasn't watching the video on my first listenings in the late 70 either. The music gives the picture 👍

[@chrisnicol1644]

Live Rust kicks ASS....

[@cletushouse906]

Aaaaahhh, the memories.

[@geob3963]

The voice is light and airy and the guitar is so raspy dark n dirty. The perfect tension for the song and lyrics.

[@jimralston7562]

2 of my favorites! After the Gold Rush studio version came out when I was 13 and got serious airplay! These two live versions are top notch! Other favorites from Live Rush are Sugar Mountain and I Am a Child. Both have special meaning to us dads.

[@gbrowser5867]

If you want to listen to a Neil Young environmental song try Natural Beauty. The chorus starts "A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument to nature" which to me is the most amazing way to say take care of what we have.

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

There’s a video of Like a Hurricane from Farm Aid where Neil goes. He sings a bit plays probably the second solo ever , sings a bit , then plays the best guitar solo EVER. It’s must watch on KZbin.

[@konradv7]

Dylan just teases us with the harmonica; Neil gives us the real thing!

[@spooley]

The stage props on that tour were the huge amps and mic stands you see on the cover, thus the "When I get real big" crack he made. Because Star Wars was fresh he had roadies dressed like Jawas with red glowing eyes.

[@dawntucker5052]

Uncle neil ❤❤

[@flubblert]

Great choice! Saw Neil twice in Chicago in the 80s, both post Rust. What a an incredible totally unique performer. The "Rust Never Sleeps" version of "Hurricane" is for me the quintessential version. Everyone has their favorite I guess. "Hey Hey My My" acoustic from Live Rust is a must. This was a purely magical and unforgettable experience when I saw him live and the audience joined in on the lyrics.

[@melissayost4888]

Ohio about the Kent State shootings is a must. There is a specific video that shows photos from the event

[@joeboucher695]

Glad you did the Live Rust version of Hurricane. Much better than the studio cut. The two different venues are just the result of recording most of the tour because of the planned live album and companion film. Presumably they picked what they thought were the best recordings. If you're looking for a full Neill album to do After the Gold Rush is a great choice. His follow up to Everybody Knows this Is Nowhere so Danny Whitten was still alive and part of Crazy Horse, plus a very young Nils Lofgren and super producer/session guy Jack Nitzsche.

[@melissayost4888]

You seriously need to find a copy of this film. I saw it in college when it came out. Mind blowing. Also, The Kids Are Alright by The Who. It’s not a concert, more a history. Listen through the credits cuz that’s when you hear the actual song which is Ab Fab.

[@L33Reacts]

I have one on the table right next to me ;) I just haven’t watched it yet.

[@DavidMusil-pq5bk]

One other thing, it's not that long but watch the video of Neil Young coming out with led Zeppelin doing "when the levee breaks". This is after Bonham has died. His son Jason is drumming.

[@noheamike5036]

From a RnR HoF induction ceremony. Neil sounds like he belongs in Zep!

[@mortafied6393]

my favorite. On The Beacj

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

“Live Rust” top 5 live albums of all time ! Need to listen to this whole album ❤️ please ,please, buy this album, go in your room and put headphones on and lay back, listen to the entirety ❤️

[@corawheeler9355]

Fantastic ... it doesn't get any better

[@L33Reacts]

It certainly doesn’t. This is the cream of the crop right here and it rises to the top. lol

[@joelliebler5690]

2 great tunes and the album After The Goldrush is a must react to by you LEE!

[@jaybo2023]

Simply Thank You. Keep up your good work. You mentioned you couldn't figure out your favorite song...Welcome to the party...Depending on the day what mood I'm in or mood I want to be in... Neil has written a song to get me there. Keep on your journey... again thank you

[@SnoopySnoops1]

Like A Hurricane!

[@poptart4260]

L33 , there’s so much great music to listen to , glad I m having a. blast with you !!

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

Lee. I’ve pleaded with you to do Uncle Neil and Pearl Jam live in Toronto when they did Rocking In the Free World. I watch it ever day but I’d love to see your reaction !!!!! And yes this is an environmental song which he always played at Farm Aid.

[@mythicsin3083]

Neil has always been a big environmentalist. As well a number of other social issues.

[@TheBobherriot]

Given Neil's longevity there are many versions of Like a Hurricaine. Suggest as an alternative his unplugged version on the Hammond organ. Amazing. Just a thought.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Amazing songs and performance

[@peachbottom2010]

Mr. L33. The first Like a Hurricane you heard was not from the studio. It was a 1977 live appearance on a show called The Midnight Special. Remember his hair flying in his face from a huge fan off stage and that iconic red flannel shirt? The visuals were off the chain.

[@bradjenkins1475]

My lament.......never saw Neil live. Saw CS&N 3 times, but no Neil then either. 😢

[@L33Reacts]

i would give my left nut to see him live for this tour. i already have a kid im good.

[@shemanic1]

"After The Gold Rush" great album & track. The only great cover of "After The Gold Rush" I have heard is by Prelude, an a Capella version that moves the soul.

[@genegarrett3372]

Love this song. Let's get blown away.

[@alphajava761]

I would put the Weld live album on equal footing with Rust. Weld is a purely guitar driven, loud album

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

First Global Earth Day April 22, ,1970. No environmental regs in place at that time. Nixon scared began environment regulations... Blue in my eyes 💙

[@L33Reacts]

i'm glad eventually we started getting our heads out of our asses. but sadly, it doesnt matter what we do. the other parts of the world will double their output with no regulations and will destroy us all

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

It doesn't matter if we succeed, it's the heart we put into our care for our kids and what comes after ...it does matter

[@astonsfan]

You would like Revolution Blues by Neil Young, studio version. Rock on dude!!!

[@michaeldowson6988]

In the '60s Rachel Carson wrote a couple of books on environmental issues and kick-started a movement. That and Vietnam fired up a lot of social upheaval and protest. Joni Mitchell headlined a small benefit concert for some people that were going to head to Alaska to stop an atomic bomb test, and that was the beginning of Greenpeace. Neil & Joni were old friends and shared a number of concerns in common.

[@ridemfast7625]

Attended that concert tour. Good times! Its worth listening to the first released version from American Stars and Bars album. Their is a vid of that same track.

[@lewisdawson7347]

I like the song "Why do I keep F%%%ing up" and live perfermance with Pearl Jam "Rocking in the Free World"

[@sharonkettler]

Wonderful picks, thank you!

[@sveinreinr4606]

Its full moon. Neil Young prefer to do his recordings under the full moon :)

[@rachelpsmith3129]

For me the Stones are number one in how good they make me feel to hear them. But the Beatles, Dylan, Jimi, and Neil, are up there too, or would be instead if something changed me the tiniest bit. I'm only talking about my taste. What I'm saying is that Neil is as good as the greatest of all time.

[@antolismirnoff5513]

Crazy Horse and Danny Whitten man

[@L33Reacts]

He wasn’t listed in the credits. Didn’t he die? That’s what needle and the damage done is about

[@brendamilloy2557]

My favorite version of Hurricane! 🔥 Have you listened to anything from his Trans album yet?

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

Floating on his voice

[@mikeengle6839]

You should watch the movie

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

I think I prefer Neil with Crazy Horse. CSNY almost bottled him up and you could feel he wanted to break out of the boundaries

[@thescrewfly]

The original After the Gold Rush album is one of his greatest, criminally overshadowed by Harvest, which I regard as overrated (of course I do). Seriously, though, there are so many songs on there that I think would embiggen your soul.

[@mikeengle6839]

Zuma is my favorite

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Seems to me that Neil doen't get the respect he deserves as a guitarist. Sure folks praise his great songwriting, but often his muscial brilliance gets sidelined. I think he's a great guitarist.

[@CH3NO2Semonious]

I did a search of your past reactions and what I found shocked me! What happened? This: This channel has no content that matched "Hey Stoopid." I think you should fix that. (Spelling is correct.)

[@bradjenkins1475]

Song about lust and sex. Very early Zeppelin ish.

[@L33Reacts]

i don't know if i hear zeppelin per say but i get what you are saying. this is fantastic.

[@thescrewfly]

The comparison you're making with contemporary music is understandable, but don't forget what you are discovering now is some of the really good, some of the best, some of the absolute pinnacles of 40 or 50 years' worth of music. What nobody in their right mind is trying to point you towards is the absolutely gigantic heaving landfill mountain range of utterly pathetic garbage produced during the same period. Some of it laughable, some of it repulsive, but most of it so useless that we've all pretty much totally wiped it from our memories. Be glad you'll never have to hear it.

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

Lee. I’ve pleaded with you to do Uncle Neil and Pearl Jam live in Toronto when they did Rocking In the Free World. I watch it ever day but I’d love to see your reaction !!!!! And yes this is an environmental song which he always played at Farm Aid.
