Long may they rule. No bullshit! Just guitars, flannel shirts , old jeans and white hair. You cant beat it.

[@DMBriffa]

Drummer might not be in full agreement with you.

[@christiaanjellesma1851]

the purest form, i love it a lot

[@Changelingheart]

​@@DMBriffa😂😂😂

[@Bikehunt69]

Goddamm. Only Neil and Crazy Horse could get away with just wandering on-stage with little to no fanfare at all and launch into 15 minutes of hypnotic greatness like Cortez the Killer!!!

[@lingeringlead]

Tour opener no less

[@thc6664]

slava black rock

[@keefriff99]

It looks like a homeless encampment onstage, lol, but they sound great. I love watching the old masters still out there rocking.

It is kinda annoying all the people holding cell phones. Oh well.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse was the greatest rock band in history. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

[@mattkanter1729]

Was and is ….

Live rust best video of a concert . …When I get big, I,m going to get me a big guitar….😂😊

I can go with that.

[@bobdawson1629]

Men with guitars. Zero eye shadow.

[@actionjacksondan]

It’s rock at its core, I always come back to Rust Never Sleeps.

[@chrisdarwin8797]

If I could pick one single song to hear live before I die...

[@Changelingheart]

Epic ballad ... ❤

[@MrGlowdrone]

finaly the lost last verse : “I floated on the water, I ate that ocean wave Two weeks after the slaughter I was living in a cave They came too late to get me But there’s no one here to set me free From this rocky grave To that snowed-out ocean wave.” thanks for sharing Neil

[@stan1036]

second line: "I died a thousand ways" ? I really hear "thousand" in there somewhere (I know it's "I ate that ocean wave" in the book but that's not what I hear?)

[@MrGlowdrone]

@@stan1036 i got the lyrics from rollingstone mag

[@harrydelange1821]

Never knew this, and I've know this song from the 1975 album start. It's my #1 favorite to play it myself acoustic as well as electric.

[@Changelingheart]

​@@stan1036.. I often hear a line that no one else does too and wonder what's up!! So I share it!! Yours is good, i heard that a few times too. 🌿

[@chrisweidner4768]

Been listening to Neal for 50+ years. Will never tire of anything he does. “Long may you run.” All the best to everyone. Be kind. Always.

[@lyndalee310]

ME too! His music still blows me away!!! ❤❤

[@greghawkman]

Attention number one fan chrisweidner...The old, pissed off and angry duchebag, spells his name "Neil".

[@beanzburriton4263]

can't be kind when your grammar sucks. this is the new age. i know you know

[@greghawkman]

@@beanzburriton4263 I watched Young tell a story about when he was a teenager in Ontario, he was a rich brat, his dad was on Hockey Night in Canada. He laughingly told how he would catch frogs and shove lady finger firecrackers up their asses and blow them up, blow their legs off, torture them to death. Even 60 years later, he still thought that blowing up little frogs was hilarious. He is a psychopath.

[@Azaremba1]

Bucket list. Seeing Cortez live, you all are lucky!!!

[@ScarlettFire341]

Don't be sad that the good old days are gone... Be glad that you got to live in them..

Awesomely said my brother. I always say that too the good old days are gone and never coming back but we get them live sometimes

[@crh_75]

Long may you run, Crazy Horse!!

[@StephenBateman]

Wow, what an opener, and to have that lost segment of lyric reinserted after 48 years, momentous, history in the making : “I floated on the water/I ate that ocean wave/Two weeks after the slaughter/I was living in a cave/They came too late to get me/But there’s no one here to set me free/From this rocky grave/To that snowed-out ocean wave.” How amazing is that? Thank you Neil, thank you Crazy Horse.

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

Right up there with I was lying in a burned-out basement with the full Moon in my eye - I was hoping for a replacement, when the sun burst through the sky.

[@user-xv4up6oo3p]

That's what they call a "nugget".. Pure Gold!

[@robertgrenier6405]

I was there for night number two with my 76 year old dad who’s a disabled veteran, he served in the USMC over in south Vietnam. Neil Young is his all time favorite artist, these songs meant something to my dad, he lived the war propaganda and the anti war stuff after he got out. So cool to see the concert through my dad’s eyes tonight! Thanks for going dad!

[@123456777613]

Much appreciated for his service! My dad passed about 8 years ago and was part of crazy horse when they were Danny and the memories... I feel fortunate to have such a great perspective these guys have given, and able to give because of those who protect our freedom! 🙏

[@artvallejos1460]

Rock On.

[@artlover1477]

Thank your Dad for his service to our country. I hope he can continue to gain peace through music and the love of your family.

[@tedparisa383]

Very cool. I'm glad your dad turned him on to you

[@capofamily1691]

Semper Fi, my Father and Best Friend died last August, he was a Marine during Vietnam also, he was stationed in Quantico when I was born, he told me he went to sleep one night and woke up to a empty barracks the next morning, his C. O. Said to him I didn’t have the heart to send you to nam, everyone else was shipped out thru the night, your goin to be a quard here on the base, you just had a newborn too many have died, and he never went, I miss him everyday, I saw Neil in Bristow Virginia, this year, he played like a hurricane and the tears rolled down my cheeks, a lot of times I spent seeing Neil with my parents. Both gone , but I will see them again, i thank all the Marines for keeping us safe and Neil for makin life peaceful! Honors to your Father,

[@kevinmillison7715]

Thanks Neil for Great Music of our Generation It means so much to all your fans and for Touring again Long Live Rock

[@pan.satyros131]

Glad to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse rockin in the free world again!

[@frankmisaege3520]

One of the greatest musicians ever from Canada. He & Gordon Lightfoot were good friends. Both of them are way up there on my list of favorites artists.

Absolutely epic!! Neil Young & Crazy Horse forever!!!!!

[@Jeannie-z9k]

Best music now and forever.

[@BrokenArrow24]

Simply beautiful seeing those guys on stage together.

[@Mudrow2010]

No glitz. No prancing around. Just take them as they are. Aging rockers, reliving their best songs from the 1970s. Neil at 78 going 79.

[@patsydaniell4628]

I love Micah Nelson is getting to do time with the master!

[@StevePhillips-qb4ou]

I first saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse in early 1970s at Winterland! And still remember that show vividly. So great that they will be at Ohana this year.

[@DonaYahola]

I love Neil Young’s music!! I ve been listening for 50 plus years and yes I love the simplicity of their clothing and all they need is their guitars, drums his iconic voice. I wish I could meet Neil and talk to him and tell him that his music has been healing and soothes my soul.

[@michaelrada725]

These guys know how to jam PERIOD!!! Been a fan since '75 Long Live Neil and Crazy Horse!!

[@briano.1503]

Long May You Run Neil! I've seen you many times with The Horse. Thank you for filling my 60 year old mind and guitars with your music. ✌💀👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🔥🌹

[@thomasmathews3010]

I saw them twice live . The rusted out garage tour in 1986 was in top 3 concerts that I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to over a 100 concerts.

[@HeatherS__]

I saw the Garage tour in '86 too! It was somewhere in Virginia, too many years ago to remember exactly where. Went with friends and then drove to Assateague Island for the rest of the weekend to camp in our tents. Amazing weekend.

[@davideaston6944]

Damn ... tears, and joy... No one is doing this at his age, with such grace...

Fan for 55 years! Still brilliant!

[@andersolow5509]

Wow! These guys. Neil 78, the others 80 and Willie Nelsons son Micah 33. Just got of their huge tractors at the farm, took their guitars and walked on stage and did 15 minutes of Cortez the Killer as an intro! You can´r do anything but love them. Thanks so much for posting!

[@okiebsooner]

Great post....and I'll add that at 78, Neil chooses a guitar that weigh 8-10 pounds with that Bigsby tremelo on the Les Paul. It's like twice the weight of a normal guitar, and that bass guitar ain't light either! Kudos on the tones and the performance!! :)

[@sdvol9077]

These guys don’t have to read a script like that useless idiot on cnn

[@uncleremus5046]

It’s called a gimmick & it used by rock bands!

[@mutoneon]

@@uncleremus5046What is a gimmick? Heavy guitars? I can’t think of a stupider gimmick than something that the audience has no awareness of outside of guitar players.

Grand admirateur de Neil Young depuis Harvest, (1972, 52 ans déjà...)je comprends aussi ton émotion de voir ce grand musicien toujours aussi créatif et vaillant sur scène. Du bonheur, c'est bien vrai

[@marie-christine-vu6oo]

@@Restachou Encore un extrait de concert posté il y a quelques heures ( retour aux sources à Toronto pour Neil Young ) J’ai aimé cet artiste dès la première écoute et aucun autre depuis toutes ces décennies ne m’a apporté autant d’émotion. Le premier album passé en boucle fut une compilation ( Decade ) écoutée tout l’été de mes 18 ans Et sur laquelle figurent évidemment plusieurs chansons du merveilleux album Harvest

Absolutley. I LOVE TO BUSK IT..

[@MarkMendlik]

Neil. When I was 18 you played in Omaha with your first set being a piano solo. Pretty good. Then you came back with the Shocking Pinks. I was mortified. I really wanted and thought you would come back Crazy Horse. I have forgiven you but you are at your best with Crazy Horse. Love ya. Keep on rocking in the free world.

[@briano.1503]

The Shocking Pinks were him saying F.U. to the record label and the Trans thing was too.

Heard sugar mountain at age 13 and have never looked back. Song blew my young mind. This is spectacular!

Just saw him last weekend at the New Orleans Jazzfest. What a great show. Neil is definitely in a fan-pleasing mode on this tour, good mix of well known and deep cuts, but all rockin. Cortez The Killer, what a show opener.

[@ElectraGlide-Joe]

This is great last time I seen Neil Young was at the Oakdale theater Wallingford Connecticut 1996 that was a great show. Thanks for sharing this awesome experience

We were there last night! Awesome that he opened with this. Great show.

I’m going to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse in two weeks. I’m going with my Daughter who is also a music lover who grew up listening to the Best Music Of Any Generation. Great memories will be made that night 🎤🎸🎼🐩 I can’t wait. It’s been 40 years since I last saw Neil and The Horse.

[@BetterqQoL]

Neil Young was his usual best R&R singer/songwriter/performer as he was when I saw him 40 some years ago. Something was missing from the sound of Crazy Horse. I didn’t see or hear anything about any changes to the Horse’s lineup. Regardless, it was a great show that I loved and had the pleasure of going with my Daughter 💃

[@christianbinder372]

Dankeschön!!!!

Incredible. Brought back memories from 45 years ago. What a great opening treat!!

[@fscott7840]

This was my go to song on the live double album. At the time in my teens, it was my best song of theirs. Sometimes you would see someone at a concert in tears for a song that was not known on the radio. I knew because of this song. That's what this song meant to me. With tears in my eyes, thank you Neil.

[@smvanzurk1116]
