My dad and I went to two Neil Young gigs in 2013 and 2014 and the man (and crazy horse) were just incredible. There are very few artists who put their heart and soul into every note they play and feel it and you can see him feel it - note - by note - the authenticity and rawness and pure magic is indescribable. There are very few people on this planet that I can put into the league of Neil Young.

Seen Mr. Neil Young four times, over a long time, 1983 to 2003, but I have never seen him as amped up as he was at this show.

Listen to the lyrics, it’s not about what you may think it’s about.

[@jonstrummer6930]

​​@@ivanostry3359Aye right!. It's not a patriotic song at all. Quite the opposite. It's unreal that some folk can hear the lyrics and think it's some patriotic pro-US song (aye, I know he's Canadian) or whatever. Same with Springsteen's Born in the USA. It was far from a celebration of being born there

[@bobschenkel7921]

@@ivanostry3359 I know what the song is about, it is very hard hitting and in your face, like most Neil songs. It is just the amped up feeling that it gives you, despite the lyrics, and Neil knows how to work a crowd as well as anyone.
