OMG!!.| FIRST TIME HEARING Neil Young - Heart Of Gold REACTION

[@penname5766]

This is absolutely my favourite Neil Young song.

[@CEDZWorldwide]

Keep playing with Crosby stills Nash & Young

[@larrysmith7155]

I found your channel about three months ago and have fallen in love with you two. And at 67 years old, you are taking me on such a great ride down memory lane. As you discover for the first time such great classics, you pull me back into my past. Thank you for being you!

[@eggomanic]

Well said Larry, well said

[@petejones879]

Same here except it annoys me how they keep pausing and interupting the songs.. I really wish they would leave their reactions and comments till after the songs have finished

[@jjpicker]

Ditto! I am 74 and am having the same experience

[@rickswhiskeyjourney]

@petejones879 ....they have to pause the songs, or they will be taken down by the artist or record company. They have rules they have to follow.

[@klaskatt]

Yeah , I'm 55 years old soon. It's always a true pleasure to see younger people take in music from the past or our youth, no matter what genre it is. That's the power of music and arts, it doesn't matter what age people are. Just have an open heart and feel the vibes, than we can overcome everything in life ;) .

[@juliedroubay5704]

As a 64 YO woman, it gives me great joy to witness your appreciation of my beloved music ❤️

From Algeria, i think Neil young isn't just a singer or musician but an amazing artist one of the greatest.

[@wendybutler1681]

The harmonica evokes emotion because it cries. Love that you love the music we loved so much back then.

[@mysteriousplankton]

Neil Young is SOULFUL. He sings from deep in his heart and he let's himself be vulnerable. He's an original that nobody has tried to copy because you can't.

[@tb8183]

Very similar to Bob Dylan actually

[@hannejeppesen1809]

@@tb8183 Both wrote/write great lyrics, however Neil has a much better singing voice. I prefer Dylan's songs song by other artists, Richie Havens, Jimi Hendrix others.

[@martinellis7156]

I grew up with this generation of artists (born in 1954) and hearing Neil Young for the first time was like he filled a hole in my world that I didn't even know I had...

[@tjrivers]

I remember it was #1 on the charts for weeks and weeks, and the album was huge! Beloved Neil!

In this song, the harmonica adds melancholy for me.

[@bethmiller1840]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. You should hear "Our House" or Suite; Judy Blue Eyes." Amber-if you like hippy music, this is it! There is a song on the album about their time at Woodstock. It's called "Woodstock."

[@rapsack7058]

I am happy to had the chance to see him once in Köln(cologne) in germany several years ago. Man what an experience. What i realy liked, was the mixture of the people at the concert...

[@debjorgo]

It's a little melancholy, isn't it? I'd have to go with The Needle and the Damage Done. No harmonica, but a better song.

[@AntonioSanchez-td6bk]

This song was number one on the charts in the USA and Canada in 1972. he was in groups like Buffalo Springfield or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. He is one of the most influential artists in American popular music. He has released more than forty albums and has played all the sticks of music, folk, rock. hard rock. Recommended songs, "Helpless", "Harvest Moon", "Like A Hurricane", "Comes A Time", "Hank To Hendrix" "The Needle And The Damage Done", Rockin' In The Free World" etc. Saludos y me suscribo.

[@OnlyGoodMusic_]

esas canciones son bastante tipicas, deberias haber recomendado southern man, ambulance blues o powderfinger, entre muchas otras que tiene el gran neil young, uno de mis artistas favoritos, fácilmente tiene 100 canciones que son obras maestras

Neil is a musical genius. I saw him in concert and he gets lost in his music and brings you with him on that journey. Please listen to Sugar Mountain, Down By The River, Cinnamon Girl, Cowgirl In The Sand.

Neil Young is an amazing artist playing equally well as acoustic and electric with a band. If you like his solo acoustic/harmonica, you'll love his album *Silver & Gold.* For electric, check out *Rockin In The Free World.* You'll see why he's called the *Godfather of Grunge.*

Seen Neil Young and he was sitting in an easy chair with a rack full of different types of guitars and banjos... he would say "hey, you wanna hear this one?" And he would play a couple of songs and then say "hey let's ck out this one!" And play a couple more... all were hits.

[@reginafromtexas2314]

Love his music. It's funny to hear him say he just wrote this song. I'm 61 y/o and have listened to it most of my life! It sounds as good now as always.

[@kelloneill74]

I was a kid in the 70s and this song was one of my first memories. I was sitting cross-legged in our back sun room and it was playing out of the family stereo system. Dust motes floated in the rays of sunshine beams steaming through the window as I tried to understand the lyrics. It really takes me back. I loved that you closed your eyes and swayed throughout this performance :D

[@nathalieplum2137]

Neil Young is a national treasure in Canada. 💯 He's also an electric guitar god so you have to play those as well. Any song on his 1969 album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" will do. My favorite song: "Cowgirl In The Sand". The solos on this song will make you weak in the knees.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

There it is!! My favorite Neil Young song EVER! I was looking through the comment to see if anyone else would request it instead of all the played out radio “hits” people usually request, and you nailed it spot on! “Cowgirl In The Sand” is just an awesome track all around, and really showcases his unique guitar playing for a proper rock song instead of another slow ballad (though his ballads are always amazing!) and much more pronounced than something constructed to be short and concise like “Cinnamon Girl” which is great, but as simplistic as “Wild Thing” by The Troggs.

[@garethpert4799]

Agree with Cowgirl in the sand. The whole of the album is excellent.

[@gordstart1773]

Cowgirl In The Sand, an awesome guitar ensemble. One of my favourite Neil Young songs

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST HEAR CLASSIC,, CROSBY,, STILLS & NASH "SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES"..TRUE EAR CANDY!!

[@michaelmcgowen8780]

This clip is from Neil Young performing in 1971 live on the British Broadcasting Corporation. Neil Young has such a deep and varied body of work over the last 52 years, his first album was released in 1969. So many good songs to pick from: Down By The River, Cinnamon Girl, Southern Man, L:ike A Hurricane (my personal favorite), Hey, Hey, My, My (Into The Black), Powderfinger, This Note's For You. Check out his appearances over the years at Farm Aid. Neil's music varies from acoustic guitar songs like this live performance, to straight up country music, to guitar-driven hard rock.

[@jco207]

Great recommendations. Let me also suggest After the Goldrush and +1 to Down By the River. Tonight's the Night is another one for the list. And also explore Crosby Stills Nash and Young (CSNY).

[@rmac8008]

It may have been broadcast on bbc But it’s recorded live at Massey hall Toronto 1971

[@rhiahlMT]

Crosby, Stills and Nash are a great group. They are even better when they are Crosby, Stills, Nash and YOUNG.

[@teresagorden5984]

Neil is Canadian songwriter, singer, plays harp, acoustic and electric Guitar 🎸. He is a throwback to folk singer, beat poet, protest song and evolved into a great rocker on his own and with Bands Buffalo Springfield, witn Stephen Stills, then to CSNY Crosby aStills Nash and Young. Listen to some electric like Mr. Soul. And all the CSNY and NJ their protest songs were big for me as I was teen college age when the came out about Political State of affairs especially in The song Ohio about the Kent State Campus shootings of 4 students by National Guard, or For What it's Worth with Stephen Stills lead singer . They performed great songs at Woodstock including the song Woodstock written by another Canadian Miss Joni Mitchell who is great songwriter singer. Ie Paved Paradise to put up a parking Lot, Big Yellow Taxi, many more. Neil Young with his band Crazy Horse wrote and played songs at a rapid rate in 60s 70s, 80s Neil then created different bands to other music but has always been a one man band, literally playing harp, guitar piano and drums with his feet. To a guest with great CSNY from folk, love, protest, blues,ballads,and Rock all of it. He was one of originals with Willie Nelson who started Farm Aid to raise money for farmers and Live Aid, Sid for several causes and countries when needed. He has to this day given to charity performed for charity. He can be temperment all, with those he has played with because he is at a genius level of music, but will play in public then run home to his ranch to hide out and write, but he is I think most comfortable on a stool in a circle of listeners gathered around him. Though he has played to millions in crowds with CSNY as well. He is a killer guitarist and piano player, banjo, etc. Like one of his songs ...Long May You Run... Neil Young.. He is like a cross between Guthrie, Dylan, with Hendrix thrown in on guitar, can be hard edge, and yet sweet, on the front porch too.

When I was in college I learned to finger-pick his song 'The Needle and the Damage Done.' Since I'm not really musical, I did it by memory with a friend teaching me. To this day, it's the only song I can actually play on acoustic guitar. You should definitely follow the rabbit hole. I don't think you realized he was in the Buffalo Springfield when you reacted to 'For What It's Worth' (hey, children, what's that sound ...). He was with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for many fantastic songs.

[@1tishhead]

[@johnwilkinson4683]

The ranch Neil talks about is near a little town called Sky Londa in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. One of the best concerts I ever attended was Neil Young headlining a small auditorium venue in Santa Cruz during his harvest tour... Neil had broken off of his old group CSNY and fortunate for us all he put on a wonderful concert that included guest appearances by David Cosby, Graham Nash joined Neil for a couple of tunes (Stephen Stills was in England attending a wedding). I've attended hundreds of concerts in my time - from the headliners like the Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, the Eagles, Janis Joplin, Santana, Doobie Brothers, Bee Gees, Grateful Dead, Earth Wind and Fire to many of the lessor known bands like Dan Hicks, Paul Butterfield and Little Feat... and I would say Neil Young was probably in the top five. Thanks for the chance to revisit memory lane.

[@jeralbrown4729]

Neil Young was also a member of Crosby Stills Nash Young. Helplessly hoping is a beautiful song.

[@gizmo5925]

"Helplessly Hoping" is a beautiful song, but it's from before Neil Young doing the trio. "Helpless" would be my recommendation from CSNY.

[@surlechapeau]

RSR family: His "Cinnamon Girl" and "Southern Man" are next for you! This song recorded was not long after his time with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Single released January 1972, before the album 'Harvest' came out in July 1972. Eric Clapton's "Layla" on 'Unplugged' is terrific!

[@kimacronym2521]

One of the all time greats........

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

the harmonica here adds a melancholy feel to the song. this was part of one of the best albums to come out in the 1970's "Harvest". It is just one big hit after another. it included the song you reviewed "old man" and it also has a song most will not check out but it is a very important song called "The needle and the damage done".

I saw Neil with my brother at a solo show in Houston back in 1999. He walked out onstage surround by 4 acoustics, a piano, a calliope, and a banjo. He had the audience enthralled for 2:1/2 hours. It was a great show even though I was pretty stoned.

[@williethebeerman]

That harmonica holder was invented by a genius named Les Paul. Les also invented the solid body electric guitar, multi track recording, echoe, reverb and pretty much everything you hear in music recorded after 1950. He was loved by ALL the guitar greats. He was also an incredible player. If you want to react to Les, there are many videos.

[@grannysgonerabid7425]

He's a stunning a talent. And when he plugs in Old Black, Neil is equally capable of blowing the roof off. And for what it's worth, Neil performed on MTV Unplugged. Another great singer songwriter with a dramatically different voice is the great Tom Waites. Waites and Neil mined their greatness in the 70s and Waites's Nighthawks at the Diner album is a masterpiece but I would encourage you to start "I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You" from his equally masterful album "Closing Time".

[@bendancar]

Neil Young has some truly great rockers, too. Check out a live version of "Like a Hurricane." I would love to see the reaction to Tom Waits -- good call! Talk about unique talent.

Neil Young is an incredible musical artist, songwriter and human being. He is still making great music today. The more you look into his body of work, the more that you will find your inner self as he touches your soul. I would highly recommend not only his acoustic stuff but also his electric stuff like "You are like a Hurricane," "Rockin' in the Free World," "Ohio," and others. In a quieter vein, check out "Long May You Run." You will not be disappointed. "Barn" is his latest album. Recorded in an historic barn that he restored in Colorado. I love the man and his music.

[@eximusic]

Yes, there's something absolutely emotional and human (related to your breath) about the harmonica. Aside from your listening on your channel, you should buy the album Harvest for yourself. Both Old Man and Heart of Gold are on it and the rest of the album is just as good. Great road trip listen.

[@joshb23]

I agree, the harmonica is such an emotional instrument. It sounds like a voice without the words, just the emotion, breathe in and breathe out. Very raw and immediate. Nobody does it better than Neil. I think his song, "Comes a Time" would rocket straight into your beautiful hearts. ALSO!! For a completely different and equally awesome side of Neil Young, check out "Cinnamon Girl" from his Rust Never Sleeps tour! You'll be blown away! Peace :)

[@rhondadonald7315]

The harmonica adds that “lonely” sound touch that does make it more emotional.

[@ssuzyd1st]

I really want to share with you, my FAVORITE reactors, how much Heart of Gold means to me. A dear friend of mine loved the song and we always played it when we hung out at our favorite little bar. He was a wonderful friend whom I claimed as a brother. Heartbreakingly, he found life too hard at 22 and left us. The day I found out was so awful and when my husband and I retired for the night, I looked to the next room and saw him sitting in my chair. He turned his head toward me and said, “It’s okay, [my name].“ This song is my eternal remembrance of him. I hope you found your heart of gold, my friend.
