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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Young wrote this in 1971 after he suffered a back injury that made it difficult for him to play the electric guitar, so on the Harvest tracks he played acoustic. Despite the injury, Young was in good spirits (possibly thanks to the painkillers), which is reflected in this song. The next few years were more challenging for Young, as he suffered a series of setbacks: His son Zeke was born with cerebral palsy, his friend Danny Whitten died, and he split with his girlfriend, Carrie Snodgress. Can you please react to Cinnamon girl by Neil Young

Neil Young is known for his individualism. One musical path he explored for years that confused many of his earlier fans is when in the 80's he explored electronica including synthesizers, extreme feedback, and vocal processing. One of his more beautiful songs of his 'Trans' period was "Transformer Man'. It would make a great reaction video. The lyrics are pure Neil Young but hearing it performed in an 80's electronic dance music style is startling!

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.

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.

First, GO BENGALS!!! Nice to see the sweatshirt (I'm from Columbus). Neil Young is a national treasure. I'd suggest hearing the title cut from his album After The Gold Rush. The album is poetic, artistic and downright beautiful. I saw a documentary on Rick James recently I believe on Showtime. Neil Young and Rick James were in a band together in the 60's and were signed by Motown. The band never really took off, but quite an interesting fact. Neil Young and Stephen Stills were also in a group called Buffalo Springfield and their song, For What It's Worth, is a definite must hear. Billy Porter released a cover of it recently, the anti-violence protest message still resonates today. I'd suggest checking out both For What It's Worth and the song After the Gold Rush, I think you'll enjoy both.

Ohio was a protest song. Neil wrote if after 4 students was killed at a peaceful protest at Kent State, 1970.

Great review/reaction, great performance, great song -- thanks for sharing your experience of watching Neil Young's live concert performance of "Heart of Gold." Oh yeah ... great harmonica!

Great one guys. He covered a lot of genres of music. This is not unique here, you only have too listen to Bob Dylan's first 3 albums which are all acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was a huge influence on Neil Young. Even Young going electric was an influence of Dylan on his career. I saw the first comment here about "After The Gold Rush" please react to it, a really really good song and a great album of the same title.🎄🦌☮️✌️💕

Definitely a Bob Dylan influence, but then again Dylan influenced literally a who's who when it comes to songwriters. Look at a Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp. Plus, I believe it was Woody Guthrie who inspired Bob to write songs and take up the guitar.

@@matthewdrake4385 Don't forget about The Beatles, especially John Lennon. The Beatles were on their first US tour in the summer of 64.They we're in NYC in August and Dylan wanted too meet them. They were staying at the Delmonico hotel and Dylan went to meet them up in their suite and he brought along his good friend marijuana and turned them on for the first time. There are some funny stories told by Paul, George and Ringo about this encounter but my favorite one is by John I think from his last big interview with Playboy magazine released 7 days before his death. He said Dylan rolled up to him and said "I really dig that line I get high in I Want To Hold Your Hand" John told him we are actually saying "I can't hide" Dylan was bummed. I love that one. Their next lp " Beatles For Sale " released on December 2, 1964 less than 3 months after that encounter you could hear John doing Dylan too the tee on "I'm A Loser" where John said "I'm doing Dylan better than Dylan on that one" After this one Dylan's stamp was all over many of John's songs. Paul a little here and there but not so much. ☮️✌️💕

Lennon and George, I could see more of a Dylan influence, compared to Paul and Ringo. Plus George worked with Bob in the Traveling Willburys. Like I mentioned, influenced everyone over the past 60 years. Beatles, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Don McLean, John Denver, John Fogerty, you get the idea.

@@matthewdrake4385 Yes indeed, George was the one who brought in a copy of "The Free Wheeling Bob Dylan" for the other three too listen too. They proceeded too wear out several copies out. John and George really freaked out. During The Hard Days Night period and even up through "Help" John was everywhere wearing that little hat like Dylan did on his first album. George was in LA recording his "Cloud Nine" Lp with Jeff Lynne when he rang up Dylan and asked if they could use his studio to record a couple of numbers. You probably know the details, this is when the wheels started to turn in George's head about forming a band. The concept of the Wiburys was George's idea. I don't think too this day that we can fully gauge the impact that The Beatles and Dylan had on popular music and culture too this day.

Interesting fact too, Doug. Every member of the Beatles is in twice and every member of the Willburys are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It could be a stretch for the Willburys to go in, but if that were to happen,George and Clapton would be the only people to be in Three times. Clapton: solo, Cream and Yardbirds. George: solo, Beatles, Willburys.

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.

"Hook" by Blues Traveller. I don't think you'll be disappointed. The song has it all. Lyrics, Voice, Style, Harmonica, and Uniqueness. Also, "Blue Bayou" by Linda Rondstat for another Female Friday suggestion.

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.
