Not only is Norah one of the best singers on the planet she has exquisite song taste.

[@beaulyons1977]

True

[@fiorellacava3253]

It's amazing to see that a rock'n roll star like Neil Young can be so trully, an excelent companion, on stage, to a young rock performer and composer as the adorable Norah Jones.

[@neillewis1389]

A nugget of gold(rush). Thankyou youtube.

[@crushedz]

Neil Young's mastery of the guitar is astounding producing hugely satisfying music.

Hey, what about Nora ?

I've been a Neil Young fan all my life. I'm 68 years old. Norah Jones is a lot like Neil, she carved out a niche for herself and stays true to it.

Two legends.

I’m 60. First album bought: Harvest. Nora makes the best, better!

[@milopopovich1705]

I’m 76 years young and loving this rendition of this classic tune. Been down by this river with Neil many times and Norah makes it so sweet. Timeless…

[@jphalen1]

Damn, she's got such a sultry voice. I could listen to Norah all day long. For her to cover Uncle Neil is a great tribute. Having him just hang bang and let her lead the performance is so "Neil" of him. That's why he's such a badass. He's the rough in a diamond!

[@Neotropix12]

Well said! I love them both. Her voice is inspiring!

[@Neotropix12]

totally agree!

[@TheRjp61]

The greatness of Neil Young shines here. Comes out, plays awesome guitar, and then sings backing vocals on one of his greatest songs!

[@larryordine7542]

She never blows a cover. Always brings something. Amazing talent.

[@robbpowell194]

Well, the Bridge School got a double blessing ❗️I am glad someone could share their handcam with us. Neil was understated and mesmerizing

[@clarenceblair429]

This is how a gentleman accompanies a young lady he doesnt try to up stage her nora and Neil. Some of the best

[@thestreak9]

hes so humble great duo for a great song

[@l3radick]

Mad respect to Neil for that eloquent solo

[@richardhoward4645]

If I could only take one video with me into the darkness I would choose this one. It is a gem of collaboration and an incredibly timeless song . Other stuff may be fantastic but nothing reaches the heights achieved in this simple arrangement.. Thank you Neil and Norah and the girls in the band. Pure, pure bliss

[@brusselsprout5851]

As a teen I thought that album was one of the best there ever was. Still is. And what a great job of it Norah & her band did with him. They kept up!

[@MichaelMiller-jx4vz]

I have not yet seen it, but because of your commentary I will.

[@Smiffy55ukx]

The great thing that all aspiring guitarists should learn from Neil is that the gaps between the notes are as important as the notes he plays.

[@neilxify]

I’d give anything to be that old guy with the hat who strolled on to solo and do backing vocals for the gorgeous and multitalented Norah Jones! Lucky old bastard😁👍👍

[@groba50]

Nice one 😂😂😂😂

[@TheAtticradio]

Totally amazing a very good vocal to an awesome song with Neil Young playing lead guitar that’s music !

[@LuisContreras-fp6bt]

WOW

[@idaho2ndgens240]

A legend walks on stage and everyone knows it. What a great song.

[@danieltrickey9285]

Best solo I think I've heard from Neil.

[@jazz185]

The genius that is Neil Young. Understated as always, so laid back. Seen him many times, never disappointed. The longevity of this man's eclectic career just is amazing.

[@IrisMcnab]

So happy I HAPPENED upon this video, all this quarantining, has me all cooped up! I love Neil Young,and adore Norah Jones! Awesome!

[@bobjones9600]

[@joemamaurmama]

I'm sorry if it's wrong, but I'm flat out, stoned cold in love with Norah. I've loved Neil since 1969, so awesome.

[@JS-op7en]

Wow! NJ sings and plays beautifully. And NY rips that little guitar. Gifted people like that sharing their gifts are a true blessing for everyone who is fortunate enough to share it. Namaste

[@mikemorgan5015]

What a great performance! Neil is so cool. Doesn't barge in and take over. Just lays down some of his amazing patented simple great guitar work in support. This is what music is all about right here. Wish the video was better, but the sound is awesome! Beautifully done!

[@davidjollymore4578]

Thankyou Neil for decades of great tunes and times. Speechless.

[@TheBabashee]

Neil's playing is seldom showcased, and he's a credit to Canada, and the world. Norah is so natural, unforced, fine musician without any bullshit. This jam is worthy of the Grateful Dead on their best night.

[@laurenlabarre7709]

Incredible to see the 2 natural, eclectic, Virtuoso's of our times. Bravo! Bella, Bella!

I watch this performance now and think how easy it is to just listen to their guitars sing to each-other and wow just love

[@joemamaurmama]

Bad video, bad audio, and I'm still digging this in 2020. Two of my all time greatest artists. Plus their very talented and beautiful band.Neil was such a gentleman here. Plus the whole concert is all about the kids. Yup. Still here.

[@marcelstive3385]

Unselfish greatness .... his guitar singing and just supporting Norah, indeed our legend Neil Young

Neil as a backup singer on Down By The River... I love it!

It's amazing how fast 8 minutes goes by because of that groove in Down By The River... magic.

Norah Jones is great but Neil Young is a master of music. Great video! Gave me, an old fogey, chills.

Please don't even talk about the video. It's about the music, the beautiful interaction between a legend and a soon to be legend. Norah has such incredible respect for those who came before. I love watching her play with the stars of the industry. She is beautiful in so many ways and Neil was better than ever. This is a classic. Thank you for posting!

Norah could sing the phone book and it would sound sultry and amazing. Neil's solo was great.

That was a pretty mystical guitar break by Niel. Great music thanks.

[@adriendixmier5603]

A great moment of music. Nora Jones is a amazing singer and Neil Young a extraordinary guitarist. Thanks

[@Dan-kc3jy]

Even though his microphone not working, Neil is singing back ups, what a musician! To allow Nora to sign the tune to her audience, incredible.....

[@vmgyorkos]

Saw this concert at the Bridge School Benefit #28. Missing this benefit concert...Fabulous concert by the way! OMGosh! Went two nights in a row this year. Happy for him he's moved on, sorry for the rest of us out there! giggle...

Neil Young Fan . Been revisiting this version for a few years. Love her interpretation. Awesome that I feel his writing intended 3 decades later. Well done.

[@maggiereeves8585]

Neil is the most unpretentious guy and wears it well. I don't think he has ever given a fuck about how he looks or dresses. He's got the talent and plenty of fans. I love to listen to him.

[@Veeebeeee]

I love how Norah Jones is the daughter of an absolute legend, so all the other absolute legends like to perform with her, but then she is so brilliant that they are all really happy to do it.

[@PlainVidz]

Ridiculous. They want to perform with Nora because of her amazing voice that is comparable to none. Ravi's "Music" is nothing short of sounds I might pick my nose to.

It is so great seeing Nora singing a classic like this. Such a good voice mixed with a great song.

[@Starz4Chloe]

I was there....the whole concert was incredible!

[@rr-xg2qv]

I probably listened to "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" more than any other album ever, and this song was its cornerstone. And like - Norah Jones wasn't even born at the time! What a treat to come across this video! Thanks for posting.

[@edardizone3018]

I agree, I wore that sucker out. Still have the original vinyl. I cannot count the times I have seen Neil Young live. Solo, International Harvesters with Merle Haggard (countrified version of this song is awesome). CSN&Y (he made those guys look like rookies) except Stills whose talent has always been unappreciated. Then again, how do you compete with the true genius of Neil Young. And, of course saw him many times with Crazy Horse. His best concerts have always been with them IMHO.

[@praisegod.jesusislord.256]

unbelievable, this is my new favorite song!

[@andrewtoebbe3885]

I love how at 1:52 its like Miss Norah Jones has perfect sense of where this camera is shooting from and spots herself perfectly at just the right time to be in the shot with her and Neil....such a perfectly captured moment and I myself am grateful for this footage and for both of these artists individually...this moment of them sharing the stage is simply inspirational....I love Mr. Young's solo...that's how u solo to a song that u urself wrote years and years ago...truly a showcase of his talent and individuality...thank you and I hope everyone enjoys as much as I do watching this ! 😁 Peace and love from Louisville, KY, USA
