[@goodtasteification]

I love this sound its a very Raw, yet very Melodic, takes me back to down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand- Thanks for all your hard work and sharing!

[@janicejohnson6438]

Wow, thanks Neil. I wil definitely check this out. Just a shout out to tell you that I started listening to you when I was 15. My highschool boyfriend was in a band that played Buffalo Springfield tunes among others. They were good enough to have gigs every weekend. Your voice and tunes have aways always touched me very deeply in my soul. Thanks again.

[@mikebockey4125]

i’ll be there as soon as i finish listening to the tune -thank you for all the great times listening to some of my very favorite music

[@holladaycummings7884]

thank you for a website that i cannot understand or navigate.

[@frodoggbooboo]

Holladay Cummings Neil Young app is great for a very reasonable yearly fee.

[@kikomiko1]

Now THIS is stoner rock. Music you can get lost in. A feeling of sadness when the song ends, because you were enjoying yourself too much to even notice the passage of time.

[@vjr5261]

Rock n roll ❤

[@SardBlack]

[@RC_hiphop]

We don't see the time when we heard, we can during 90 minutes and more without pay attention

[@enzogalli5506]

A sublime masterpiece...legend NY!!!

[@bettybrancato635]

I think I was about 13 mins in before I decided it's a masterpiece by a master musician/writer with an equally masterful band.

[@starcloudhidden8074]

All true measurement Lost in A battle long time ago

[@EdnaMillion.]

Who couldn't have listened to that for another half an hour?

[@geggrocks70]

it's not long enough. Once you start it, you hope it will never end

[@DerekBullene]

Soo many fun times uncle Neil and friends brother Man and brother and sister s too!

[@kellymoore6245]

Make me wanna get a hip hop haircut now! Neil Young thank you so much for a life time of Great music. I’ve been listening to you since I left Sugar Mountain.

[@MrGroucho1933]

This is my favourite NY album, totally underrated, some great long songs, She's always dancing, Ramada inn, Walk like a giant and this one, fabulous music to get lost in.

[@AdamSandaver]

This is how music sounds when you are hearing a masterpiece......

[@1dakotadog1]

My late friend Dave passed away the day this CD was released .He was a huge Neil Young fan and this song reminds me of him and the rest of his friends said the same thing when were at his memorial service tonight. RIP Dave..you are missed.

[@gregorallnight371]

A great creative artist,musician,songwriter,arranger and more...giver to worthy causes such as Farm Aid help to bring respect,appreciation and protection for our polluted,poisoned,plundered and hurting planet...thanks

[@debbloompott5279]

I couldnt imagine,,,,,,,,He is the man......and with the boys its just like the old days.........boys doing what they do best........play/.......I am glad you enjoyed it so much....I seen Zep in 77 and still to this day I would take Neil and Neil and his band any day..........he is about all I listen to....I met him in 2010..in Dallas........badass is all that can come to my mind except I sapped out .......but he was so sweet to me, even through the tears.....DEB.

[@charleshealy1307]

Interesting, you talk about meeting him. I've had lots of dreams where I get to meet him, and in the dream he is just like a normal person, wants to meet me, shake my hand, know who I am, and wants to know why I like his music so much. It is such an incredible disappointment to wake up, and know that it was only a dream. I've seen him five times live, but I would still love to see him and the horse play up close, in the front row.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Neil Young is always at his best with Crazy Horse.

[@martinenglish4133]

Inclined to agree. No matter how long these songs last, they never outstay their welcome.

[@wakeup4396]

Amen

[@keithcrooks7217]

Damn,right!!

[@oppothumbs1]

Better song writing with Buffalo Springfield

[@TerryTerryTerry]

100% correct

[@LostSoulAscension]

Im going out to buy this album, I didnt have the time to get in to it when it first came out, and I have a feeling not many people did....... This album is totally underrated. AMAZING ALL The SONGS are Masterpeices!!! DUDE, what the FUCK! This WHOLE FUCKING ALBUM!!!!! SERIOUSLY! I JUST BOUGHT IT!!!!! I am put through a fucking Natural High trip!!!!

[@leahdaugherty4376]

Yep, he'll do that to you!!

[@dannymartin8203]

This is a classic Neil and Crazy Horse record. Great all the way through! The bottom end was so heavy at Madison Square Garden the guy next to me had to leave.....he was getting sick! Now, that is a Crazy Horse moment! Long Live the Horse!

[@wakeup4396]

At home during the Corona Virus bs... watchin' and listening to Neil and the boys is a great way to reflect, meditate, relax and be lifted up with this awesome, timeless music. Life is good!

[@chrisweidner2617]

You said it. Try to awaken the naive to the plandemic and insidious reason for it. All the best to you and yours.

[@joe54b93]

Amen to that brother... ... ...

[@tomellis4581]

28 minutes of pure bliss

[@georgetrimmer3077]

Neil…A genius piece of music. Retrospective yet forward looking. Thanks for letting us inside to feel what you have laid down!

[@danu6718]

One of the shortest half hour tunes ever 😊🙏❤️🍀

[@TheQuietEye]

After 2.54, most popular tunes are running out of steam. By five minutes, Neil and Crazy Horse are just getting into their stride. Marathon music. Love it.

[@chriscaffee587]

One of the best songs in the past 20 years. Amazing guitar work. Thank you, Neil, for just being you for all of us.

[@karlboman]

Dont' worry Neil, I can hear you and so can my neighbours. Three streets down.

[@richarddurham1503]

Wondered who else I was hearing playing this.

[@johncrowe4550]

If it's too loud, you dont love neil!

[@DerekBullene]

Thanks again for your fun ,my friend forever ♾️ Aman Frogger Derek

[@dizzymcwhizzy]

I'm about in the middle of Neil's biography. And let me say, its given me a whole new appreciation for his soulful music. He's been with me since 6th grade, and I'm still a huge fan.

[@flo15jo]

27 minutes and never a dull moment ....

[@PulkitKamal]

YES

[@jamesdaviau8696]

that's a bright comment

[@TheRunner75]

Yes, Neil Young is often the same music with the same sound, same kind of melodies same chords suites but still sounds very good. He went bad in the 80s when he released albums like "Landing on Water" which were really awful with 80s synth sounds and cold production. Then he came back to reality, to himself and HIS music.

[@navajotrail9253]

You're wrong. "Landing On Water" is an excellent album with good songs.

[@TheRunner75]

WTF. He shouldn't never release this dross. However no one is perfect. Fortunately NY released more good stuff than bad one.

[@breatheintheair570]

If someone were to play this song i would've thought it came out in the early 70's. The world changes but Neil stays Neil! Love you forever man!

[@libano90]

best album of the past 30 years

[@oasis903s]

Only Neil could write a 28 minute song that seems too short

[@TheThoughtfulwolf]

Amen brother!!!

[@joe54b93]

Truth!

[@oldnepalihippie]

yes sir!

[@margaretstoner4701]

Meticulously noted my friend ❤

[@deiviboguiziggi6693]

do you know dazed and confused led zeppelin ??????????

[@MarkCorriston]

28 minute hypnotic trance that continues on after the song is finished

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

Neil's albums are so diverse. To me, that says it all about the man's talent. Whether it's "On the Beach" or "Psychedelic Pill" or "Harvest," I can listen to it all day.

[@raymondarata6549]

How about his 'surfing' music with the Squires? Even fewer words than in the Pill. His music is like from Hank to Hendrix. It spans the entire spectrum of music.

[@nicorigo5661]

I like how he opens the song as a folky ballad and then unleash the chaos.

[@russgray4507]

Unleash the chaos, I like that! For years I've tried to describe his playing style to others, I never could, until now.

[@johnjeffery6638]

Classic journey style music and song. It's like a upbeat version of ON THE BEACH.

[@AdamSandaver]

This song has nearly every genre except the kaka ones in it...

[@janicejohnson6438]

Then he unleashes the chaos! Great comment. I read it a while back and whenever I listen to Neil I hear it again. AWESOME description.

[@janicejohnson6438]

Definitely in the top five best ever comments on Neil's musical genius.

[@novemberrains2739]

"Worried that you can't hear now me now, feel the time I took" "Dreamin bout the way you feel now, when you hear my song..." Most of my life is filled with nothing but good, good memories, while listening to Neil's music. Then came a time when the music was nothing but torture. I couldn't listen to Neil for about five years. It hurt too much. And no other musician could fill that void. I knew I was beginning to heal, when I could listen again. I'm drifting back as well. Thank you.

[@jackmace6531]

Why was it torture

[@darrenunsgaard5186]

Neil and Crazy horse played for 3 hours straight at the Plenary Melbourne, They played there hearts out, loud fast and passionate like it was the first time they had played these songs. Like teenagers in older bodies. They toured through the end of 2012 and have 30 gigs ahead of them in Europe and Neil is now 67 ''Far from lazy'', they are a Juggernaut ! Melbourne concerts were amazing! I am glad that I saw the Melbourne gigs through my eyes. May the 'Horse be with you'!

[@daltondogger]

Back in the day i remember wishing that some of the great songs would have been longer...my wish has been fullfilled,thanks Neil.

[@chips1972]

A dude likes this.....again and again...a Masterpiece.......

[@Cyber-lt4kv]

This is a perfect driving song, just perfect. Turn up the volume, open the sunroof or lower the roof, if you're driving a convertible. 27-plus minutes of pure bliss!

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

Holy crap, I have listened to this album for years now, and only today I realized this song is 27 minutes long. How did I never notice?

[@pmaraujo]

Cause it is really good!!!

[@derrellthomas239]

Stoned perhaps? I was!!

[@robertogalvez2423]

Because of the electricity bill.

[@1dakotadog1]

This came out a year ago today and my old friend passed away a year ago today,He was a huge fan of Neil's and he would have loved this CD.

[@johnjeffery6638]

Long may your friend run-

[@duffman10x]

this song is awesome.

[@CarolynTowns]

I feel the feeling Neil Young!

[@rolandberglund149]

Now we talking... A masterpiece back in the days...

[@wakeup4396]

AMAZING! I'm driftin' back... and getting drunk.

[@brendawise4365]

Wish I had a joint to burn. The good old days bring back many good old days

[@mikefrance7498]

Sounds like a winner !

[@debbieghostley]

From a Flower Child, Hippie ect... the 60's and 70's Neil Young is one of the best musicians to tell the history of the greatest decades of our lives in music! And he is still going!

[@bolloocks21]

My wife goes to bed...I sneak into my study.,decide on Stones,Pearl Jam, M83 etc...the list is endless...Then I think can I risk another 27 minutes of NY.....its hypnotic, and yes, I succumb

Thisuemi incredible piece of art. Thanks Neil & others. . . Cheers. I Remember warm summer night 2013 ...and this is,/was well made. I listen that often. Greets from Finland for all. Kaisaniemi, Fin, 081413...

[@oldnytv5911]

So good I don't even know how to deal with it. What a gift for rock starved America. Amazing.

[@mikescourby]

I am addicted to this song Neil is only of a few relevant rocker out there, music wise and socially

[@julyarchives]

What a great tune .Neil Young makes music like no one else in my mind .Melodies and sounds over the last 40 odd years that don,t ever seem to age .

[@bigbasspa]

Neil Young is the boss of every type of music. One of the most creative and assured singers there's ever been. To have created such great music for so many years and also stayed at the forefront of music evolution. That tells you all you need to know about how unique he is,,,,,,and how unique Crazy Horse is. A true artist who, with Crazy Horse creates music you can't ignore and you can't stop listening to. If ever there were musical geniuses, he would definitely be one of them.

[@janicejohnson6438]

Completely mesmerizing. Neil at his soulful best.Nice visuals too. I'm drifting back.

[@mikemustang3791]

Chills today, another masterpiece by the master

[@wesjeffrey56]

I listened to it first time as I was working and I seemed transported back to 1972 ---my old hippie dreams!

[@bigboishon9124]

This song ALWAYS makes me cry.

[@deanaf]

"It's in my head. That's why you don't have to worry when you lose friends. `Cause they're still in your head. Still in your heart." Neil Young "Journeys"

I was 65 when this song began. I'm 2 now and in a dyper

[@89makiavelo]

Nice discover. This was my first listen on this song, I played at 10.00pm, repeated and repeated until 6.00 am

[@CarolynTowns]

Yes, thank you Neil, your voice is a comfort to me!

[@angelagenovese3976]

His music never gets old

[@markshelim]

Thank you Neil and the Horse for being so generous with your music. When you four guys play, the standard is set. Les Paul would be blown away with what you achieve with Old Black.

[@kiwiduncan]

Extraordinary! Mesmerising. What a trip. Love it.

[@zemzami1]

[@ricklewis8322]

I love the patterns man!!

[@brubeck1]

Hey now now.

[@muzboz]

Only Neil would put out a music video for his 27 minute song. Freaking legend. Good album.

[@holladaycummings7884]

I hear you and appreciate everything you gave us, you rock beyond belief, I love you Neil for your words of wisdom, for your insight.

[@lovinlifejosh3888]

Thank you oh great spirit of sound...for allowing someone like Neil to create such timeless pieces of art as this song by him. If not for sound, we would not have this; one of many marvelous spirits worthy of praise in my book. For none are more or less equal than the other truly. Thank you Neil Young and Crazy Horse!

[@albertocalorosi1527]

Thanks for uploading radio edit version. Looking forward to hear the 2.5 hours full version

[@alexbruce9]

The sound, the chemistry between Ralf,,Billy, Pancho and Neil is such a unique grouping of elements that Crazy Horse will always sound so good to it's listeners. Matured yes, aged Hell No!!!! sound as good today as 40 years ago, if not better then ever. Love these guys!

[@theresaluchsinger4488]

Love you Neil, thank-you so much for everything you have shared with us!

[@AlexColberg]

This song is weirdly addictive

[@bytwyzz]

Rush Fanbaugh you had to be there

[@1stSaintsFan]

Rush Fanbaugh Love your Avatar, I bought that LP in the first month on it's release. No one knew the band, "RUSH". I also love Neil Young and especially his work with "Crazy Horse". Many of NY's songs are addictive and some like this one are weird, but that is Neil.

[@AlexColberg]

1stSaintsFan Beautifully expressed. Both RUSH and Neil have added immeasurable pleasure and depth to my life.

[@HarvestTexas]

Rush Fanbaugh Dittos...

[@AlexColberg]

[@reginaldosa13]

You're lucky! 1972 the year at i born!

[@1stSaintsFan]

Sorry that you got on the Neil Young Train so late in life.

[@1stSaintsFan]

Hey George Texstel you can enjoy the music, but you sure as hell will have trouble seeing Neil playing live back in his younger days like I did when he was in CSN & Y and also Stills/Young Band. Seeing a solo show in Ruston La. and then seeing Neil having breakfast later that night at the local college grill. Seeing a solo show at the legendary La. Hayride Building in Shreveport La. where Neil never sounded better sharing a stage that Elvis, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams played on. That is what my comment meant.

[@davidt3667]

Love this video. Funny how great songs can also inspire great paintings. And in my view this is one of Neil's greatest, totally hypnotic and far-reaching. The established British artist Chris Gollon loved 'Driftin' Back', played it over and over in his studio, then read about the famous dinner in 1922 when Proust, Picasso, Joyce, Stravinsky were all invited with very mixed results. Neil's great song and that dinner gave him the idea to put some of the greatest self portrait painters all at one table, and he called it 'Driftin' Back (after Neil Young)' ...worth checking it out

[@collapsible1639]

Hey cheers for that dude, very interesting, thanks! :)

[@luisramirez1161]

A great collaboration as always with Crazy Horse !

[@carolnelson68]

Great psychodelic video with THE best guitar “MUSIC” ever! And even Picasso!

[@Wormtongue13]

Thanks, Neil! Thanks, Crazy Horse! You guys have provided so many inspiring and enlightening moments to so many of us over the decades, and I'm SO grateful that you're still providing more.

[@ApocalypseKurtz]

The first minute is my favorite minute of the whole album. Good ol' acoustic Neil.

[@jeremyrose1331]

PURE BLISS.

[@toreandrehelgemo]

It is so good to finally get another good album from Neil Young & Crazy Horse! 90 minutes worth of listening:-) I totally love this guy and his soulmates!

[@renatoilsonhunninghausencl5879]

MUSIC AND KALEIDOSCOPE...PERFECT COMBINATION!!!👍🙃😎👽

[@paulgilbert8534]

Epic song love it Neil young is a legend .......

[@alfredt1219]

With all of the good music from when I was young, I just can't see how we ended up here. Sadly all my comments deal with that part. We really believed the world would change and for the better. I don't think we screwed it up, but if we didn't; who did? We certainly had our chance to lead, to change the world and instead it it all went to shit. Were we just to damn romantic and easy going?

[@kerriwilson7732]

Alfred T like Bruce Cockburn sings "Tried to build the New Jerusalem, but ended up with New York" Every generation believes it has the answers; humanity doesn't even know the question!

[@hairymarx]

Transcendental guitar work from Neil - in passages on a par with The Grateful Dead.

[@bsg2112]

I like the part where he's drifting back.

[@TAZERAIM7]

a key element not to be overlooked

[@rabidrabbit974]

I like it all, but love about the middle of it where it just chills you..the music.

[@ab4845]

I like **THE WHOLE SONG** ; especially the various extremely long and *KICK-ASS* guitar solos.

[@Chesterlinkin41]

Jajajajajajajajajjaa OMG, Neil Young's listeners have an excellent sense of humor...

[@janicejohnson6438]

Yes, sooo mesmerizing!

[@ggrahamm17]

Saw him last night at the L.G. arena in Birmingham. Fourth time I've seen him and he just gets better. I went to the zepplin reunion concert which in my opinion just seemed to be a bunch of old men making fools of themselves, nothing like I remember them when they were the best band in the world. If Neil is still touring when he is a hundred, I'll still be going to see him. Best feedback guitarist who ever lived. Last nights encore, Powderfinger, awesome.

[@jimmlew6]

great new album i love it

[@seriouslyyoujest1771]

Now I’m drifting back some 50 years. And thanks for putting a good word for our Navy when you we’re here. My father was a fifties frogman, and hearing a few boo’s wasn’t cool. You said something about the men and women defending our country, ending with something like,” I don’t know? “ and a bigger applause. Just the way it should be for those that serve. Thanks for all of the years, and all of the memories.
