Neil Young and Promise of the Real - Cortez the Killer (Live at Farm Aid 2017)

[@dawn5432]

Mr. Young soothes my old soul I've listened to him since the age of 15. I'm 60 now. A complete sense of calm fills me when I listen to him.

Saw Neil Young twice in my young (33) life. First time with Crazy Horse (2013) second with Promise of the Real (2018 I guess). Never ever felt so emotional and thankful for this man and his music. Cried several times listening to his music, because memories are connected to many of his tunes. My father was with me visiting both concerts. Never saw him happier in my whole life while Neil’s performance. We both had tears of happiness and gratitude in our eyes. This moments I will never forget. If this musician dies, the world stops turning. His performances will be my absolute number one concerts of all time!

[@petermarshall8515]

Most definitely one of the greatest of all time!! Been listening to Neil since I was 15, I'm 64 now and he is just as pure now as he was then!!

[@MikeLike8]

I saw Neil Young and went back again 3 more times because of the emotions that came out during his shows. I would have tears in my eyes several times at a Neil Young show, something that if ever happened at a concert would be once. Something about his music resonated so deep, I never saw it coming, wow, great memories revisited here.

[@stupadasso5023]

If he dies, I will die…..love Neil Young since I’ve been 14 and Im 60 now….hopefully he keeps going forever!

[@spraudoggy]

On my bucket list. Respect and love him and his work. Really have enjoyed both the video and green vinyl The Barn. Cannot get enough of it. FYI…I am in my 70’s and have been a fan since he appeared on the scene.

[@Blackscorpion1963]

Yeah I'm smelling the Horse a wee bit on dis, however all da best to Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real - they're a pretty good crew I gotta admit. I really like their song 'Find Yourself', check it out it's here on da Tube.

Heard a few Neil young songs before. This song caught my ears just yesterday. Never heard it. And it's the reason why I'm here. Where have I been? Haha

I've been enjoying this song since he did it with Crazy Horse and he's still rocking it, it is my favorite Neal Young song, it's beautifully played and the story is bittersweet

[@rosettedsouza7265]

Not only is Neil superb as usual, Lucas Nelson and The Promise of the Real are truly an excellent band and all go together so well.......

Yep agree. Check out their tune 'Find Yourself' - a friend informed me about it yesterday and I'm hooked.

Neil you are the greatest guitarist and vocalist of my life. I have lived your music my whole life and prob had the most music crush on all your music. My friend was jealous of you of how much I loved your stuff, so I bought him your music book so he could learn your songs. He passed away a few years ago still trying to play like you and he was close I have to give him that. I went South so I doubt you will ever come to Fl though there are many here that want you at the Saint Augustine Amphitheatre outside. I hope I get to c you one more time before my journey is over. I caught Marty from Airplane played a foot in front of me here at his art gallery and caught Bob D here right on the street playing. Cant get much past me, but you are hard to catch up with. GB LOVE THE NEW SONG ROUTE 66. Keep playing and dont forget your the best then next comes Bob D, lol. Would love to see you play together here. Give him a call and set it up. Thanks see ya in the clouds of peace and love. Lisa

[@lisalane7648]

Your Down by the River was excellent toooo, its all a blast to the future and history in my books

[@jamesgreene4811]

Your dream came through Lisa but sadly I don't think you will be passing this way Neil is playing here just in Ireland with Promise of the real and Bob Dylan in July there playing in London together think its two days before the play here in Kilkenny in Ireland should be a great day I believe its the only two dates the are playing together next year Neil and Dylan ,you never know the might play a few gigs back in the States hopefully close to you so you get to see them together I know how you feel I last seen Neil in 93 best Concert I have ever been to and to be honest I don't think Neil and Bob will ever play together after this sadly age is catching up on this two Legends then again the could keep going hopefully for years anyways take care lisa and Best wishes from Ireland
