Wow. I don't think I have EVER seen closed captioning so thoroughly SLAUGHTER the actual lyrics being sung.

Creating such amazing, simple songs is what makes geniuses like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Jack Johnson and Oasis such incredible songwriters.

Man has talent enough said I’ve been listening to Neil young for a long time and have appreciated his talent. Let the world hear Neil’s voice over and over again.

I do believe another great song he played in this session is called, "Heart of Gold". Just a simple song as Neil goes throughout the world searching for his, "Heart of Gold". His lyrics are truly deep and beautiful; and I'm sure you will greatly appreciate them as Neil was not only a great musician; but also, quite a poet. He spoke from his heart as all great artists in their fields would do. Neil also wrote this amazing, beautiful and heartbreaking song called, "The Needle and Damage Done." One of his friends and musician from his group called, "Crazy Horse", was fighting a losing battle with his Heroin Addiction; and it was interfering with the band's music. Neil gave his friend money and insisted he get treatment for his addiction. And when he was clean to come back to the band--before this drug killed him. He never came back and like so many great musicians died of an overdose. Neil's lyrics are some of the bests ever written about this subject: beautiful, dark, and so very haunting. Once heard, they can Never be Unheard again. Neil sings about how the Junkie would, "Milk Blood...to keep from Running out...I've seen the Needle and the Damage Done, a little part of it in Everyone...But, every Junkie's like a Setting Sun." During the time this song came out, I got to be really good friends with a co-worker who came back from Vietnam, after serving 2 tours there. He was kind, funny and being that I was still in high school, he kept an eye out on me making sure that I never got involved with the hard stuff. He was like an Older Brother to me; and I loved him like a Brother. But the war really did a number on him mentally and he came back addicted to Heroin. Until it finally took his life. So, every time I hear this song, I think about my adopted brother; and pass a few tears in his memory. I like to think that in death, he finally found the Peace that War took away from him.

this is what talent looks like

Arguably his best song of all time.

Neil Young can do it all……country, folk, rock and grunge before there was grunge…….incredible song writer with tons of hits……too many to list

I had this song played at my fathers funeral

When he sang, “It doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you”, your mental gears had a stutter. Amazing. Glad he struck the right chords (pun intended) with you. Thank you for this one, Inna.

Sitting around the fire pit w/ one's favorite beverage & Neil unplugged w/ harmonic - doesn't get much better.

Thank you for reacting to this great song from our Canadian treasure, Neil Young! When you react to his song "Heart of Gold" be sure to find the version from this same concert and find the longest one you can as he speaks to the audience before playing and it shows a lot of his personality. Before you are finished with him, be sure to react to "The Needle And The Damage Done" as well!! Best wishes to you with your channel!!

Neil Young is considered one of the top twenty all time greatest rock lyricists, and rock guitarists. He has a unique voice, and many great softer acoustic and rock style songs. His vocals and lyrics are touching, and play with your emotions. If you would like to hear more acoustic style songs, then Heart of Gold (searching for love song), Harvest Moon (love song), Don't Let It Bring You Down, After The Gold Rush (protest type songs) would be good choices. Rock style songs then Powder Finger, Cortez The Killer, Southern Man, Rockin in The Free World would be great choices. I enjoyed your reaction, and I'm glad that you reacted to Neil Young.

JUST SO YOU KNOW INNA, THIS IS FROM 52 YEARS AGO NOW! 😊AND YESSSS NEIL'S MADE 100'S OF GREAT ROCK SONGS THROUGH THE DECADES! 👍😊ENJOYYYYY THIS LEGEND!

..."Heart of gold" is one cool classic by him 😊

'Heart of gold' is one of his best.

Beautiful and soulful. Nothing more to say.

Neil Young is an iconic guitarist/ vocalist, born and raised in Canada... He first came to fame as the guitarist of Buffalo Springfield in 1966... the band split up in 1968 and Neil Young went solo as Neil Young and Crazy Horse... In 1969, he also joined the group CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) and they became huge w/ their acoustic records... His song 'Ohio' (by CSNY) was particularly powerful condemning the Kent State University massacre in Ohio by the US national guard in 1970... Neil Young was a successful artist in the 70's in both outfits. In the 80's, Neil Young saw his music become experimental and his popularity declined in the decade... In 1989, his album 'Freedom' was a return to commercial success and he scored a hit single "Rockin' in the free world"... His music was credited by members of Pearl Jam in the 90's of inspiring the Seattle 'grunge' rock scene... His 1992 album 'Harvest Moon' sold 2x platinum... His 1993 'MTV Unplugged' went gold (half million copies sold) in the US. Neil Young has carried on recording and touring to date - he's currently 77 yrs old... His latest album 'Before and after' is due out late 2023. Other Neil Young classics - 'Heart of gold' ... 'Cinnamon girl ' ... 'Harvest Moon' ... 'Southern man' (w/ CSNY)

Another great Neil Young song from this concert is Heart of Gold. You will really like it
