This was my mom’s favorite singer when she was a teen. And the band bread lol.

I got such a shock! Didn’t remember this one from 50 years ago, BUT, as soon as it started, I REMEMBER EVERY WORD! Wow.

[@rfloganwalker3202]

If it hadn't been for Neil I would never have picked up a guitar.

[@JeromyBranch]

Cool. Mine was Johnny Cash ...Neil was not far behind and he kept my interest up. This tune and Powderfinger were the first two non-fifties and non-coutry songs I learned. When did you start playing?

[@rfloganwalker3202]

@@JeromyBranch I started playing in 1978. Still a lot of Neil stuff on acoustic guitar. By a strange quirked of fate I mainly play classical guitar nowadays, learning a little finger picking took me down that road.

[@JeromyBranch]

@@rfloganwalker3202 Lol classical is what I started with lesson-wise. Too young to appreciate it I guess. It wasn't Johnny or Glen so I thought it was lame. Around 1974. Then Neil and Tony Iommi and Bob Seger infected my fingers and that was that. Mebbe I outa renew that classical style a little.

[@kenhawkins1033]

Same here. His solo acoustic stuff on "Four Way Street," to be exact!

[@joebrownell3738]

..nor, started dabbling in songwrting...major influnce along with J.T., and many others...Neil stood 'head shoulders' above the rest... ...great song.

Well I was going to bed then I remembered I had to call an old friend, He has been in a nursing home for a long time and has asked me if I post again to you to please tell you how much for 50 years he has loved your music and how much it continues to give him joy and send you his Thanks you’ve always been his favorite and for me he said “I got the best dinner I’ve had in years from you”. I told I’d come by when COVID or before if I could and bring him 2 meals I want to go ASAP because he said he could already smell it coming. He was great friend who helped me know what a good friend was that was in 72 and he spoke of you and your music Happy Day ❣️🌹🎶🚂Donna

Forever YOUNG You Both Have A Heart Of Gold

[@donnareidt3473]

Yes that was it Young Shakespeare well here I am again I love your music I just found another one called Ramada Inn , I got the goosebumps that entire song I have to keep it on my radar so I can add that one to my favorites too. There are more similarities between myself and you that I didn’t see. I call it a kinship I hope you don’t mind. The power of history when your in your 70’s is amazing. It reminds you of so much and so many things that I’m not sure how to make the corner. Most days I content , but lately I’ve been trying to see what’s around the corner and it would be “A little love and affection in all that I do” and I wondering to much I’m so happy to hear your music and all those amazing word that you share. It means a great LOT to me. All you do is with so much heart ❤️ Thank you ever so much ❣️❤️💐🎶🚂🌹💞💕❤️❤️🎶🚂❣️🥰

[@donnareidt3473]

Hi Neil Young I just listened to Tell Me Why live Young Shakespeare. I’ll be looking for it 3-26-21. Can’t wait it’s already in my calendar. I’m so grateful for you music. It like always gives me focus and bring my ❤️ memories into clear view. Thank you Donna ❣️

[@unclerudy9797]

Neil and his Martin D-45...Can't get much better...

[@thomasfrancis9941]

Beautiful. I lost a sister to cancer over 20 years and every time I hear the opening chords to this, it transports me back to when she was still alive. It leaves me feeling overcome with a sentimental mix of melancholia, grief and nostalgia. NY, you are a genius

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Neil never seems to get much accord for his acoustic playing. It's always fairly simple and understated, but there's also a lot going on- continual fills and accents and it's always super clean. Great player.

[@BrownsTown]

I definitely prefer when someone plays to the song instead of being all flashy and showing off in the song. Sometimes simple is better

[@bendagostino2217]

His rhythm is one of the best.

[@MB-pm4xe]

Accord? I think you mean acclaim.

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

@@MB-pm4xe Accord can mean recognition.

[@claudiagibsonmusic]

I think as brilliant as his electric solo stuff is, his acoustic playing is even better. Very clean, interesting fills and chord forms, and he’s a metronome. Love this song.

I have cried more than a few tears through the years on this very thought provoking song. No words to describe this timeless message to me. Thank you for sharing a priceless moment in time.🎼💞🙏⚘

Neil you are an absolute legend

[@Bill_Jones.]

I wish I could strum with the accuracy of Neil. Saw him in '99 at a solo show in Houston, but I was pretty stoned.

[@barrybaddams7095]

Just FYI Bill, due to residual childhood polio damage, Neil has a unique "stiff arm" strumming style i.e his strumming pivots from the elbow rather than the wrist.

[@franciscolopez3229]

When I first heard Neil Young on his album AFTER THE GOLD RUSH, I was stung by the guitar bee and never look back ever since. I've still got that cassette since 1978.

[@twtwtw1]

that is how an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound.

[@tdkdgh]

First heard this song on a portable tape player around 1971(?). I already loved CSN&Y and Buffalo Springfield, but I didn’t know much about any of them. Bought the album this was on (After the Goldrush), immediately learned all of the lyrics to several songs. I still play this on my guitar. (Both kids still love the song “old man” I used to play and sing to them as they fell asleep). I still love Neil and his music. This song is forever fresh and young. No pun intended. Too late.

I really want to be able to meet Neil and just give him a big hug for saving my life so many times. Such a dear dear man… Old Neil, Mr. Young, or just plain Neil Young - a southern man DOES need you around because you make us all stop and think for a minute - and isn’t that the job of all great songwriters?

[@faysmith7569]

My all time favourite 1970

[@stan4now]

Is this Live At Massey Hall? Neil Young got us thru terrible times and still is. Sun Green is a rallying cry to save the earth.

[@oldbeatpete]

no I don't think so. There seem to be 4 different live albums in 1971.

Saw him on this same Tour do this song, on the Chicago leg, January 71' Chicago Auditorium. He did an encore of "See the Girl Dance" with a Dobro Guitar--crowd was stomping and rocking after being mesmerized by acoustic and piano. Good Times.

[@andrewgoldbergs4474]

We are very fortunate to have so much of this definitive material both on film and record and the true value of this will come when Neil cannot performfor us ever again. One of God's musical treasures that keeps on giving back.

[@chellyr4972]

It’s been years but the unfortunately only one time I saw Neil Young in concert, it as a spiritual experience. It was back on his Second Best Garage Band times. I cried when I sung along to his songs, especially Heart of Gold. I hadn’t heard this song for years and the moment he started singing, and the opening verse took me straight back. Love Neil. Can’t say enough good about him.

Reminds me of the time when I was courting my wife, and it seems that After the Goldrush was always playing when I was visiting her.

Thanks so very much for posting. I am about the same age as Neil and have always been a big fan of CSN&Y and fan of Neil's long solo career. I'm a lifelong resident of the San Francisco Bay Area where Neil's personal life has always been posted in our local news - his relationships with ex wives were not pleasant to learn about. He was my all time favorite musician until I rediscovered Bob Dylan on KZbin and thru Bob's performances learned of Mark Knopfler, now a favorite also. Was already a fan of Emmy Lou Harris, and she and Mark make a fantastic duo!

[@stefanorumor6015]

[@marcfilippone181]

So minimalist and so concise, yet with just a couple of spare verses Neil Young conjures up such deep feelings; and the genius of this song is that the listener can interpret it in their own way. Many others have said it, this album changed my life forever. No other artist has captured my soul the way Neil Young has, and no other artist could.

[@jimbear8888]

Love, love his music ♥️♥️

[@donnareidt3473]

I’ve been listening to your Southern Pacific mix and Unknown Legends AND Natural Beauty. Ok they are my favorites TODAY The wind was blowin from the North. Cold cold wind. And today was our first snow fall probably the last or near that. So I had day of days listening to your music. Now I heard another new one, but as I was writing this and wondering how it showed up. When I’m done writing this I can go back and find the name of that song it was a back in the day song. So I think I’ll take a break now maybe have a nap it’s 9:25 pm so when I get up at 2:00 or 3:00 I be smooth Rest en’ then the sun comes up. And another day. Arrives for more favorites because why not? The wind still blowin and the overnight snow has deepened I have no where to go. Many blessings to you And Thanks again for so many songs So many favorites. ❣️🌹D

Among my favorites of Neil's songs. I used to sing it with a band I was in but I never felt like I got it right. It's still notable, though. I've told my family for 30 years "If there's ever a question of whether to take me off life support, just ask me what the words are to "Tell Me Why"

In the 70s growing up on Lake Ontario but in the United States and seeing the lies of the world as a youngster I would listen to this song repeatedly when I first started smoking grass around 10 or 11 years old. Yeah, the end of times call for a reworking of what’s right and wrong and wrong. Drinking some fair trade coffee today from Guatemala today and try and love the world, thanks Neill!

[@patriciawright8786]

LYRICS: Sailing hardships through Broken harbors Out on the waves In the night Still the searcher must Ride the dark horse Racing alone In his fright Tell me why Tell me why Is it hard to make arrangements With yourself When you're old enough to repay But young enough to sell? Tell me lies later Come and see me I'll be around For a while I am lonely but You can free me All in the way That you smile Tell me why Tell me why Is it hard to make arrangements With yourself When you're old enough to repay But young enough to sell?
