On request: the UNCUT version of "Neil Young Down by the River live at Hard Rock Calling 2009
KZbin didn't allow me to upload longer videos last year (so I had to split it in two) but now I can show you the original uncut version.
So here it is: 16 minutes and 54 seconds of one of the best live perfomances of Neil Young and his band
Enjoy!!!

[@starlordfalc2718]

I don't really care what anyone thinks, they are going to listen to this at my funeral, so I can jam 1 last time.

[@watdahek2]

Ok, the first time I saw Mr. Young was in 1970 during the Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere tour. Since then I have seen him with or without Crazy Horse 15 times. I cannot get enough of this young man.

I got to see Neil and Crazy Horse when I was 15, in 1982..such an amazing live experience. The greatest memories are the hardest ones to create. My buddy and I hitch hiked 290 kilometres to the show and had to sleep in the bushes on the side of the road on the way home after the concert. We eventually made it home the following afternoon..with a memory that is unable to be forgotten. Best concert I ever attended!

[@MisterTMH]

I was 15 in 1985 when I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse live in Melbourne Australia at Festival Hall. It was the first rock concert I ever went to. I was almost deaf for a week afterwards!. Yaay Nei Young !! I have seen every Australian concert tour he has done since then .

[@VulcanDriver1]

Neil provided the soundtrack to my life. From a hippy to an old man. It was always relevant. Rust never sleeps...

There's absolutely no words to describe this man's superb talents. I'm just greatful I can still enjoy his music. I am 63 &I have been listening to his music for a looong time🙏🙏🙏👊👍👏👏👏

[@mikelair9144]

He's a prolific songwriter. Stills once joked that the CSNY guys took a break to write tunes individually. They brought back what they had. CSN each wrote 5-10 songs and Neil had 100 +. Dude generates material

[@perdanielsorensen7775]

I wish I had a million upvotes to give. This is the best version I have heard of one of the best songs by one of the best musicians in the world. I had an amazing time when he played here in Bergen five years ago.

[@fritskrommenhoek6391]

I can only agree,,live you hear the real sound,love his music!❤

[@ashleyscracemusic]

I was 20yrs old when I went to this gig. My mate and I drove up from Hastings, and we stood perhaps 10 people or so from the front-right of the stage. My mate only knew Neil Young because of Rockin' In The Free World, but he was blown away by the set. It was a particularly great one that night, including a semi-impromptu Old Man, and A Day In The Life where Paul McCartney joined on stage. But there's something ethereal about this edition. The crowd during the chorus were LOUD. Glad it comes across here. I think this is his best version of this song, perhaps in his entire career. We only had a day ticket, though. Springsteen was on the Sunday. But we had such a good time, we abandoned the car for the night (thankfully, I didn't get a parking ticket!), and we stayed up all night to wait for Springsteen on Sunday. We watched from a bunch of crates, trash, and boxes people had set up outside of the concert area. Magical. God, I miss those days.

[@gijsplas]

Great story bro. This made me jalous as well 😂 Wish I was there too.

Just look at him grinding out the tunes, a man of his age, playing these scores of music with such passion! It is so moving enriching our lives with his God given talents and sharing this with all of us. Priceless...................

[@daveenpeterus9481]

Don't give credit to god - this guy is passionate and talented, and he practices.

[@annawhite2720]

He'll be 75 this November and he's still selling tickets 🎟 🤩

[@NowhereMan7]

So if God is to be credited for Neil Youngs talents, by which he simply gifted him, is that to say he denied the rest of us?

[@russellschubert7733]

[@wesmatson5921]

No denial from God, we have not taken advantage of our personnel gifts given us as much as Neil...Young "is passionate and talented, and he practices." He had to struggle when young, read his history, family trouble, physical mental. Neil Young has taken life by the short hairs and squeaked out every drop...

[@user-rc3kc2il5l]

As all the fans have testified Neil is so fzzzzking YES< I said KING, he can start our journey with one note, his bent body gyrating all over the stage, he makes us FEEL, his awesome sound coming out of his body is why we love, we crave, we need his testimony for our record of being human, Takes me out with one note, carries me forever will I run thanks Neil, I mean it.

[@johnsouter4020]

Neil Young is a towering figure in Rock for over forty years now. His unique quavering voice, and incendiary guitar style have become a permanent part of our collective consciousness. Many thanks for the uncut version, and long may you and he run.

Over fifty years, Brother!

[@wolflegal]

I've been listening to Uncle Neil since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, late sixties!

[@wolflegal]

I'm sixty-three, almost sixty-four, years old! Uncle N must be in his late seventies (to early eighties almost?)! Never too old to rock and roll! This is one of the greatest jams ever! Go, "Crazy Horse Uncle"!... And Crazy Horse themselves, each and every one of them, going back too! I think the only jam that comes before this one is Chicago and/or Steve Windwood's and Spencer Davis Group's, "I'm A Man"! Well, can't leave out Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"! Or some of Clapton's jams, eh? "I suppose... Eddy, are you kiddin'?!---Frank Zappa!! Rock and Roll will NEVER die!!!!!

[@christopherlanzara4863]

The sound is so good! I get chills on the chorus! Neil is the best.

[@garyzajdel5204]

In 7th grade I saw Neil/Crazy Horse touring to support this LP....(Everybody Knows.........Nowhere)....I've always been an unwavering fan. It's amazing how well his music has help up over the years. Here I am some 44yrs later still enjoying still enjoying Neil's version of "Down by the River!"....probably even more now than at age 12. This is but one song still viable with millions of NEW/Younger fans. Rock on neil! Thanks for your major contribution to the "Soundtrack of MY life!"

[@jefferycomer860]

Neil and Crazy Horse, all night jam, fantasticly awesome!!!

[@Nitemare.60]

HELL TO THE FUCKIN YEAH.... Thank you so much for sharing. What a great 60 1st birthday jam. Neil ROCK me ALL NITE LONG..... STILL. ❤❤ 🤪😜😋

[@JJ8KK]

Probably the neatest thing about Neil is that, while he is able to do his ballads unplugged & w/harmonica, he also understood as well as any musician *_how to produce that hard-rocking powerful concert hall sound that everybody loves, but still seasoned with his knack for melody._*

[@markindrekkass2345]

Always been a fan of Neil Young, Canadian eh! To be honest, this is the first time I’ve payed attention to his live performance. He moves like a zombie, plays guitar like a madman possessed, his soul is relentless with energy, hardcore raw electric genius....Rock, jazz, blues, every chord and riff, fucking deadly!! All I got....homie Neil understands brewing, his performance pure moon shine...just say’n.

We went to New York in 2007 as we felt Neil would not tour the UK again following his 2005 brain aneurysm. How wrong we were! His UK tour was announced as I sat looking at reviews in our hotel since then we have seen every tour in the UK. An absolute legend! Long May He Run.
