[@hdietz7946]

This was the last song my dad was listening to before he suddenly passed away in the morning. Im writing that from his account. He was the best man Ive ever known

[@camiladifilm]

He was expecting to fly

[@ericguerra6576]

Father passed 11/14/23 He exposed me to Mr.Young at such a young age. ❤

I'm soo sorry for your loss❤, I dedicate this song to my brother today who is passing away any day now😢

This version is so beautiful. Just Neil, his guitar and the moment. The sound quality is so good too. Thank you for sharing this.

[@reidcooke8535]

You know Neil is an old soul, how else could a young man write such a beautiful song.

[@baliscotsurf]

or maybe he's young I am a child

[@Hellyeahray21]

Neil Old?

[@wildmountainthyme4123]

I love hearing Neil with just voice and guitar. There's something very special about that!

[@namesameasu]

I thought before hearing this video that no-way could this be done well with only a guitar. But it's amazing! Who needs the orchestra! Mr. Young provides the magic.

[@joyceb.sachsesachse1242]

Loved the first album version , with the whole band and orchestra, but NEIL can break his music down and make it pure magic . The real deal and one of his best songs , brings back memories of his own favorite song "four strong winds" he listen to when he was a kid.

[@edrekers8445]

The melody of this song, the chord changes, the lyrics, his voice. This is a remarkable composition and performance coming from a 24 year old man.

[@wryanddry2266]

I think he had some help from Nitzsche, but yeah.

[@stevenrobins52]

He was 21 when it was recorded. 1967

[@tommygo8]

They were great times and the music was and and is wonderful. Never live in the past and appreciate each moment you have in the now...

[@edrekers8445]

Thank you.@@stevenrobins52

[@ndotl]

@@wryanddry2266 Was Nitzsche a type of bud? 😁

[@joychillman7220]

I love this recording, great voice. I need to dust off my accoustic guitar and start playing again. I heard this song on the film called "Joy" I had to look it up.

[@davidmurray2539]

To me, the greatest song ever created in popular music as I know it.The studio version has always overwhelmed me with emotion. Thoughts of where it could possibly have come from are always suppressed by "better left unknown."

[@Spanosmusic]

The only thing missing in this live performance is Neil singing, the music sounds just like the original studio recording but it was all done with musicans. Why Neil didn't sing on this I don't know but I know that Richie sang on a couple of Buffalo Springfield songs with these people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-9d6h_icqZi8U

[@kevinquinn4499]

@@Spanosmusic What do you mean Neil isn't singing on it? He sings it here beautifully and on the original recording.

[@jackfishcampbell6745]

Neil is singing to amazing effect . But it still feels otherworldly and gives me the chills . It is absolutely amazing and still melancholic and beautiful while bringing memories as well as regrets .

[@stevenrobins52]

He was 21 when it was recorded.

[@sharonhouser7838]

Neil was way ahead of his time . Most definitely a great song . 1969 was a super music year . We love you Mr. Neil.

[@ndotl]

Take a look at 1967.

[@dilwynjones8585]

Wonderful recording of this truly stunning composition from, for me, the greatest talent - thankfully still with us.

[@kearneyrevival848]

Best recording of the best song of all time

[@markdawson6862]

Such a great song and sung with such feeling.

[@Wotan-Mit-Uns]

Always one of my favorites by Neil.

[@tonymfahy]

Brilliant version! Best I've heard!

[@user-kq7cf3ku7s]

This song is beautiful ❤️. Neil has always touched my heart . His inspiration has brought Peace to my life . This is an old song . I still listen to it all the time . We love you Mr Neil ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamesrey4498]

This is a great song

[@drbryanbikes]

Incredible and breathtakingly romantic, with Neil’s stunning ability to impart sadness and melancholy. Some of his best lyrics were written with Buffalo Springfield ( which is probably one of the BEST names for a group ever)!! This song touches ALL of us who have ever loved deeply. It touches me. THANKS to Chromedreamer for posting this… a great recording!!

[@jonathancastro8487]

Why is it one of the best names for a band? Is there a specific reason?

[@AndreaFranchiMusic]

Great song, one of my preferred of Neil

[@Lucky-ou4vz]

Doesn't get Much BETTER than THIS

One word - stunning!

[@checkyourhead6467]

what a great song. 🎵

[@tomnorden3945]

This is fantastic recording- thanks man so much

[@simonedevlin7710]

I believe that I have just heard the most romantic love song ever written and it pleases me to know that Mr. Neil Young recorded it. Now the key question is " Did the young Shakespeare write it in 1969?"

[@derrellthomas239]

He wrote it while with The Buffalo, 67, 68? Not sure.

[@stevenrobins52]

Recorded in 1967. He was 21.

[@CELLE56]

Une pure merveille🙏🤗

[@BadBoiFilms]

I was born in 1999, I’m sad I never got to experience the 60’s

The best work is done by those you have it in their heart. And you have it.

A hauntingly beautiful song…thank you, Neil!

[@ndotl]

Back in the day none of my young friends [understood] why I liked this song. Now it is considered a masterpiece. Edit: [Corrected] above.

[@tubbers20]

Learning this on my SG with reverb and vibrato.

Love the song...

Neil is a gift from God . His talent is so amazing . This song proves he has been here before . Beautiful . We love you Mr Neil. ❤❤❤

[@ostrichman]

such a soundtrack

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Wow I was just thinking of that movie last night. I couldn't remember the name of it

[@SherAli-zy9gi]

I first heard it in that scene and it has stuck with me ever since!

[@stephentierney9266]

Great song

[@stuartragland3639]

But the photo is from early 1966 by the looks of his haircut, and the fact that he is playing a Guild acoustic instead of a Martin.

[@Charon58]

Guild F-50...what a sound

[@chr8mon]

Vocal tremolo. Excellent.

Angry guitar fools...

[@johncummins6655]

Wonderful song. Too bad he's on the wrong side vs. Rogan and pro censorship.

[@byronbuck1762]

It’s not censorship. It’s not wanting to be associated with propaganda

[@hocuspocusfocusable]

Rogan is a purveyor of misinformation, that Young wants no association with… bravo!

[@artvallejos1460]

rogan makes people eat bugs and worms. Neil makes music.
