Could spend eternity listening to this masterpiece

[@serenalee2187]

Omg, me too. My husband and I were lucky to see him in Phoenix back in 2000.

[@redtussock]

It is a masterpiece ... and if you have ever tried to put together a cover ... the tempo changes are a real challenge.

I never get sick of this version and can't help crying when I hear it. Thank you Mr. Ferrer, thank you Neil.

[@HillsSilent]

One of my absolute favourite Young songs, incredible.

[@albonfatti4305]

I am thinking of "Had Me A Real Good Time" by Faces

[@Gordpatmac]

Everyone just take a few minutes to think about all the songs Neil has created over the many years. Make a list in your head. Look at a list of his top 100 songs. It's prolific. There are so, so many great, and diverse, tunes. Some day he will be recognized as the greatest songwriter in rock history. Yep, even higher than that guy Bob who hasn't produced nearly as many good songs as ma boy Neil.

[@artvallejos1460]

True. Neil has over 1200 songs and counting. Twice as many as Dylan . Plus Neil ROCKS.

[@vinodtrekker]

For me this artist is simply the greatest .

[@redtussock]

Well actually there are a number of young artists covering Neils Songs ... like kzbin.info/www/bejne/n53MdJSajJWma7M these two do a really good cover of many of Neils songs ...

[@richardhumby8704]

Neil Young absolutely immense talent. Thank you.

[@Qingeaton]

Everyone here is at the top of their game. This could easily be a studio cut with such perfect balance in the various volumes and execution of it so natural and flawless. .

[@dontswin]

It is practically a sin to have the luxury of being able to sit here and watch Neil Young give us his very best for literally nothing. This is most definitely one of his best songs with out Crazy Horse. Thank you so much Neil, you truly are a Master!

[@danielhosking7257]

He makes it up by charging 200 dollars for a back row ticket and 1400 dollars for front row.

[@artvallejos1460]

​@@danielhosking7257 He doesn't charge that, the venue does.

[@barrilitomusic]

Jim Keltner definitely gives Neil a solid rock from where to hold onto and be Neil Young.

[@19irving]

Want this at my funeral.

[@tedmohr6353]

Getting to hear Neil Young at Red Rocks has always been something special. He'd play through storms and always put a great show and kept playing! Ths concert was great because of songs like this, "Bad Fog of Loneliness, World on a String, some of his lesser known songs. May have been the last time I saw the great Donald Duck Dunn. R.I.P. brother

[@kevinkinney5445]

The drummer is fucking outstanding on this version! I love how truly great songs grow in time. This is like a 4 min song originally... What a great performance!!

[@sgtpepper1138]

Jim Keltner is one of the greats, highly underrated. He does stuff that other drummers wouldn't do, or his playing is very unorthodox, but totally fluid. One of my drumming heroes.

[@kevinblake7078]

i love how gets into his own trance, rock on neil

[@HP-hz5ns]

Neil Young is pure deity himself! creative genius.. listening to his, & his bands music is an absolute spiritual experience

[@waynetotten71]

Neil is like a fine wine, he only gets better with age. This is a great live version of one of his top 3 songs. As it is better to burn out than fade away!

[@RonaldPetrin]

Neil Young is was always will be “Rock On”! Between the lions of age.

[@redtussock]

You can tell when a guy loves playing a particular guitar ... the whole song t that beautiful Gretsch guitar ... Between the Lines of age indeed.

[@willard10s]

Neil can teach a lot about song dynamics within a song to experienced musicians including some of his contemporaries, just by example. Most bands try to peak their performances with a few select songs, while Neil peaks within songs ALL NIGHT!!! Then you have this GREAT band letting him go anyplace he wants with really cool glassy sounding tube distorted solos and chordal bliss..... I love Neil with the Horse, but this is different musicianship altogether as some really fine players actually have Neil raising his game, while with the Horse it is the other way around. Neither is bad, but for a song like Words, this band fits the bill..... Glad to have seen this in Milwaukee same tour. Magic!

[@fubar1923]

Like...

[@eduardosalas2640]

One of a few artist that can take songs to a spiritual level! It touches the soul.

[@steentje56]

Neil's not just a great musician he's also a great mover, in more ways than one!

[@daryldietrich]

My wife had the experience of working for Donald "Duck" Dunn's Physician years ago, and spoke about him coming to the office, just being a "regular" guy.....never giving a clue to his Rock and Roll hall of fame membership. RIP Duck

[@sgtpepper1138]

You'll find that with musicians like him, they're not looking to be in the spotlight, they are just regular people, that are really good at their job. Jim Keltner seems to be very down to earth and just cool guy.

[@DAZ28111]

Neil Young he is a force nature and Jim Keltner drums a amazing

[@abbygirl1993]

...effortlessly, gorgeous and blended , its a potion... keeps life going for us all. " Just because there's snow on the roof...doesn't mean the fire's gone out, inside"

[@kennycab3374]

60yrs old now, I can't tell you who were the greatest guitarists ever, outside of Hendrix, Page, Stevie, and so many others, but I can tell you who were and are my favorites. Hendrix, Page, Lifeson, Halen, Slash, Rhodes, Gilmour, Blackmore, Wylde, and Neil Young. I hope you like that list of my favorites. Again, its my favs, not saying they were better or worse because its all about what we like and what we want to hear. There is probably at least a hundred lead guitarists that are better than all these guys. But these my favs. BTW since I heard Hendrix All Along the Watch Tower when I was 12, it has always been my favorite song, number 2 is The Song Remains the Same, 3rd is Fade to Black by Metallica. Everything I wrote in the comment will never change, I will go to my grave with it. Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special considerations on my fav guitars would be John Denver, Roy Clark, Trower, Mason, Angus, and Schenker from the Scorpions, who I believe started my favorite genre Hair Band Music with UFO.

[@kennycab3374]

Oh shit, I forgot Peter Kath and Richrath. See what I mean, there are so many.

[@kennycab3374]

OMG how did I forget the riff master Iomi? It goes on and on and on and on. Just watched a Blackmore solo, common.

[@TLF1]

Goat Neil. One word GENIUS.

[@jacobplank2764]

Seems like every classic song I go to watch live no matter who it’s by they have the great Donald “Duck” Dunn playing bass live speaks volumes on his work and his versatility

[@denislanglais955]

En 1972 , avoir 17 ans , en France , et entendre ce chef-d'oeuvre pour la premiére fois , vous oubliez votre acné ...

[@erikgraveleau8320]

Moi aussi j'ai été littéralement scotché même si je n'avais que 11 ans ☺☺

[@Velkus96]

That drummer!!! Love the song!

[@sgtpepper1138]

That's the great Jim Keltner, a true master of the drums.

[@swhaley83]

What a great show. I got rained on all night.

[@WillyOrNot]

I was there in the 2nd row, it was more like sleeting, at a diagonal with the wind! Great show!

[@tedmohr6353]

I was there as well, I thought they may have to cancel the show. Instead, they went on, one of his best shows with the late great Donald "Duck" Dunn and the late Ben Keith on steel.

[@dana.4230]

Im taking my 15 year old to preach the virtuoso of uncle Neil in a little over a month from now and this is his homework. He’s just as excited as his old man is and it’s a speechless moment for me, really is.

[@mischiefmikeyo]

unbelievable rhythm section in this one probably the best version

[@felin04]

un des plus grands morceaux, un vrai délire musical, une épopée issu de l'un des meilleurs albums de tous les temps par ce génial et sacré Neil Young !

[@dicatlou]

j'adore ce morceau depuis tellement longtemps, le frisson a chaque fois, merci

[@jeffmallios2373]

So sad about Donald "Duck" Dunn as this performance with Neil Young makes you realize the quality of Muzak we have had the pleasure to enjoy. RIP Duck a masterful base player that will be missed....
