Neil Young once played a whole set of lesser known tracks; when he could sense the crowd getting restless and wanting him to play the hits, he appeased them by telling them he was going to play something that was more familiar to them. As the crowd started cheering and applauding, he proceeded to play the first song from the set again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 legend!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

Heh...I think he actually introduced it by saying: "Here's one you've heard before!"

[@loadedorygun]

I heard this differently, with him opening and closing a set with the same song, among a host of lesser known cuts. As he was leaving the stage, promoter Bill Graham shouted at him, “No way asshole, go back out there and play something they KNOW.” So for an encore he did the song a third time and left. LOL.

[@Axeman517]

That was 1973 when he was playing the Tonight’s the Night material.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

"@@Axeman517 I believe the song that was "reprised" was indeed "Tonight's the Night". Doesn't that song open and close that album?

[@lindamackwer4082]

We seen him mid 90s at Jones Beach. None stop for 3 hrs.. never said a word just played. He love Jones Beach. I live 20 mins from beach.

[@unndunn1]

Just a man and a guitar. Proof that’s all you need when you’ve got talent

[@mrnobody9104]

One of the most prolific songwriters to ever bless our ears, still putting out music today! Bless you Neil Young. Huge part of my lifestyle soundtrack!!!

[@barrycohen311]

Interesting story about this one. Neil bought a huge ranch in California and there was an old "Caretaker" that was employed there and lived on the property. He looked after the land and animals and things. Neil struck up a friendship with him, and of course kept him on as an employee. Beautiful.

[@michaelasay8587]

California yuck

[@andrew348]

@@michaelasay8587 You feel better?

[@krisromibixon6729]

Love Neil Young, the song, "king"about his dog, a must listen

[@frauleinmona]

He told this story right before he began playing the song. I'm not sure why Asia and BJ cut that part out. ?

[@tonygreene3941]

Thats a great story, but this song always makes me think of Dad, I know I’m not alone, I guess thats the true artistry in the lyrics.

[@leondasellis9854]

His song ( Heart of Gold) was taken from this same setting is equally impressive

[@gregsoddworld]

"It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you..." - that lyric always gets me.

[@michaelgreer9673]

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and the 2 of You always make Me smile . Please don't stop being yourselves . You guys are A Fantastic Team.

[@navigatingwithnana]

High school- a time that opened me up to the depth, emotion and "art" of music. I wore this album out to the bone. Neil's voice always has this sense of sadness and longing to it, yet there's this prevailingly ethereal air of purpose and hope. He will never stop speaking to me. 💕

[@terrylynnheinrich8777]

Neil Young had just bought a ranch..and wrote this song about the old man that had worked that ranch for many years

[@JC-es5un]

“The Needle and The Damage Done” is another phenomenal Neil Young classic you guys should check out. He is a rabbit hole worth diving into. 👍

[@elysium619]

An absolutely beautiful song. His beautiful voice, here in his youth, is so emotionally powerful.

[@dagmar.6954]

I love this intimate performance with just Neil & his guitar. 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.

[@Brandi6666]

Major artist right there🤘🇺🇸 neil has a large stage presense. His electric guitar will make you get lost in your head. Try like a hurricane Cowgirl in the sand. And best of all down by the river

[@juangorsedin6657]

A great Canadian..

[@johnmccarthy-behindtheveil]

Incredible live show - No Auto Tunes! Listen to his guitar playing.

[@acy2004]

Yes, that guitar is just so beautiful 🎶

[@lilpoohbear653]

indeed...incredible

[@NondescriptMammal]

Look at how Neil's guitar playing in this is so raw and yet smooth and fluid, and the same can be said of his voice... and those two things go so well together, and are all he needs to create a performance like this, intimate and personal. Here's a guy in his mid twenties, who can get up on a stage and bring a song like this to life, and do it so organically and perfectly that there's no way it could have been improved, really. Just a man and his guitar, stark and spare musically, but there's a purity to that, and only so many people who can do it this well. A thing of beauty. I usually prefer studio versions of songs 99 times out of 100, but this is one of those rare exceptions, this is a great and wonderful performance.

[@Prozak63]

Song "Heart of Gold" from this same venue is fire as well.

[@andrew348]

Yes! I hope they get to it because no one ever reacts to it

[@KelleyStrzelczyk]

The greatest story Teller out there. "After the Goldrush" is one of his greats, that fueled my spirit on occasion.

[@sonjacrowell9896]

Got to go on a tour bus with Neil Young. He was awesome. Got back stage passes and ppl were grabbing me . Security helped me. I was 22 at the time. I treated them right. Booked rooms for the whole crew under different names and got them food. My mgr at the time locked down the kitchen. So I ordered them food at steak restaurant and picked it up. I actually got on tour bus that night after the show to be told sorry you missed it but we gotta roll out. Went home bummed out only to be woken up by for real Neil Young asking me to meet up with them catch a ride to another show so I could see them in concert for helping him and his crew. Didn’t really believe it was him. But he sang me a lil bit of needle n the spoon. I jumped up squeezing. Said I’ll be there in hour n half. Was a great show. Scary at the end with every one grabbing me trying to get my back stage pass. The thing is Neil Young was a perfect gentleman. Called his wife right away. Then invited my friend and I to eat with them. Rode in the bands bus. Back to my car. Told them if they were came back they could park at the farm I lived at no one would bother them and could eat all the home cooking they could handle. It was a plan and a hand shake . Loads of pics too.

[@bigdaddypiggy]

He’s one of those artists who everyone loves at least one of his songs sometimes without even realizing it

[@robperry5293]

One man and his guitar... I don't now how many times I have heard this song being played around a campfire...Part of the sound track of my life.

[@joesutherland225]

I first heard this album just as it came out I was16 old man affected me deeply then and moves me even more deeply now at 65 one of my basis song long live the godfather of punk .knock em dead Neil

[@parkiwi4787]

Was born in 1957, loved my parents music, Sinatra, Louis, Ella, Bing etcetera. However blessed to be a teenager of the 70's. Young, Eagles, Carol King, Supertramp, Bee Gees, America, Beach boys, soooo many more. Love seeing you both enjoying 'the classics'.

[@alphajava761]

Hey Hey My My song live at Farm Aid 1985 . 19M views . Powerful . Young created the lyric "it's better to burn out than fade away" in this song.

[@Eowyn187]

Y'all struck gold with this one. Neil's so special. Just wonderful. Great to see you felt it.

[@joelliebler5690]

Asia you are so right about the acoustic playing and how Neil makes you feel what he feels!

[@scapito]

Neil Young is brilliant and versatile. He has acoustic songs, but he also rocks out electric. Another couple of acoustic songs, Silver & Gold and Harvest Moon; and for Electric, Rockin in the Free World. There's a reason he's known as The Godfather of grunge. 🎸🎸

[@happymethehappyone8300]

AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR CLASSIC,, CROSBY,, STILLS & NASH "SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES"

[@proudliberal605]

"Cinnamon girl" is my favorite Neil Young tune (But this one is great as well!). I actually thought he was at the top of his game when he colluded with Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

colluded?

Keeping in real on a Tuesday night. Needing an artistic connection to the world. Hell yeah.

[@detredwings21]

Neil wrote this song for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for US$350,000 in 1970

[@trevorholden7423]

This song is a legendary classic, there is no doubt about it. The thing is you can't define or equate class, you just absolutely know it when you hear it, and this is definitely it! Well done guys, respectfully and professionally reviewed. Ps love watching Asia's concentration and her changing facial expressions, so precious..

[@cindybeck5643]

Neil Young is one of my favs. Love it! If I remember correctly, he said he bought a ranch and he wrote this song about the old ranch hand that stayed on.

As soon as he started singing I could see the interest on your faces. This song gets ya.

[@cathyhall1350]

Neil Young is so cool! Today he's that old man's age and still "Rockin In The Free World"!💙🎸✌️🎶

[@rhwinner]

Young wrote this in his truck on the way back to his farm (Rollin home to you). The song also references Young's wealth at a young age, which the old man was in awe of: give me things that won't get lost like a coin that won't get tossed. IOW, I got lucky but in the end it's the intangibles like love that really count....

[@clydeb7713]

Neil said in a concert he wrote this song about the owner of a farm he once bought.

[@frauleinmona]

@@clydeb7713 He mentioned right before he started singing that he wrote it for the caretaker of his ranch that he had just bought from two lawyers. The old ranch hand who took care of the cows and stuff. I wished Asia and BJ had played that part.😕

[@sixslinger9951]

this is the best performance of this song. Just Neil and his guitar.

[@roguealien]

I have seen a lot of live music over the years. Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps" album and tour rates right up there with my top 10. so many great songs on that album. What a career. As a side note, I was a San Jose Sharks season ticket holder. Many times Neil was there with his son watching the game. He is dedicated to his son. He also loves toy trains.

[@blackbird8900]

Neil is one of my all time favourites, introduced by my Dad when I was probably 3. To add to your side note, Neil’s Dad was an announcer for Hockey Night in Canada, way back in the day. We Canadians know many a hockey connection. 🇨🇦

[@nebidiaswift5200]

Best line “doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you” be yourself

[@bryonensminger7462]

He wrote this song after he brought a ranch in the hill country of California and the old man was a care taker that lives on the property and tends the live stock so after a conversation with him he picked up his gutair and wrote this

[@stephenkittle6586]

I Wish you could go see HIM before HE PASSES AWAY SERIOUSLY!! HE is to Me THE GOAT of SONGWRITING EVER🎶🎵🎼✍️🎸🔥😁😍

Timeless Classic!!! Love that you reacted to this fave tune of us that lived life in the 70's:)))

[@alleneh]

I was sitting in Buck's Cafe in Woodside, a favorite spot for locals, having lunch. The place was packed as usual, no open tables. Neil Young walked up to my table and asked if I minded if he joined me... we sat and talked for almost an hour. Very cool guy.

I will be here for anything from Neil Young. This song is super special. Great reaction guys 🙋🏻‍♀️👏🏼🙌🏼👌🏼💜🇨🇦

[@jamesrowe3606]

Good to see you enjoying the music I listened to as a young man. This song works both ways. People my age should always remember that the younger generation are finding their way just the same as we did and making mistakes, just as we did. On the other hand, when you come across people my age (69), remember we were the cool kids in the audience of the gigs you're watching. We don't all start wearing beige, buying 'easy listening' CDs and complaining about change. We're still the rockers we always were. 🤘🙂

Still writing and performing, appeared on Jimmy Fallon 3 weeks after brain surgery 😳👍🙏 Neil is a unique, legendary talent. Check out, "Needle and the Damage Done."

[@donnabruhn6907]

This just hit something deep in my heart ❤️ beautiful song

The studio version of this song is really good too, with harmonizing back up singers, and more instrumentation. You'll love it. Neil Young, aka "The Godfather of Grunge," has such an amazing guitar picking style, not to mention his voice. Please react to more Neil Young - Heart of Gold.

If you do I will share it with a load of Eivor fans.Thank you again.

Loved your analysis. Neil can really rock hard with the electric guitar, but his acoustic folky music is really his most striking music ...like old man. For more acoustic Neil try "Sugar Mountain", "I am a Child" and "The Campaigner".

I love the perspective of this song. As young people, we just know what the older people think. That we haven’t yet really experienced life, that we don’t know difficulties, hardships. They can be so judgmental and look down on us like we’re somehow short of knowing.

In the late 1960s and early 70s, the two musicians most credited with creating the laid-back Southern California sound were Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Two Canadians created the U.S. style that prevailed for a decade.
