I think it's pretty obvious that the person who had the strongest influence on Neil Young was Bob Dylan.
Sorry, I lived through the 50s 60s 70s, Neil was mediocre guitar player, weird singing voice, his albums were droning as he was juiced on heroin.
If I had to rate the most overrated GENIUS musician of that era it would be a tie between Niel and George Harrison ????
Thank you for this. David Briggs deserves to be much better known.
Thanks for this, an illuminating insight.
Neil came to jam with us in Topanga at the VFW..I was talking to beautiful Paula..danger with amazing beauty not knowing that they were meeting..I walked away and left him without a drummer 1976..wonder if She's the one 'When You dance' A-l-o-h-a
Nice. Very informative.
Harvest and After the Gold Rush are still two of the finest albums I own.
Seeing Pearl Jam playing Keep on Rockin' in a Free World with their hero on stage ????
Thanks for the information, great video ????
Wonderful…Thanks.
David Briggs
That guy was the polar opposite of Young. That is so funny. Young makes great music and performs like a team – but his politics are at best dubious, like fantasy.
Nice. Maybe do one on Steve Miller
Thank you for doing this research. I've always wondered why there is a fine thread that connects me with Neil Young's music. You have strengthened that thread today. This was also a great video format. No sensationalism, unnecessary drama, just ' the fact's Ma'am'- kind of story. I look forward to more of your insightful research and videos. Cheers Don.
Really cool story. Thanks!
Fascinating! Lots of edits, but still appreciated!
….oh, to be Young again
????????
Very illuminating. I know Neil is a decent piano player, but was he writing songs on piano in those early home recordings and transposing to guitar?
Love it
Been a fan since 72????
And to think he would come out with a song like Cortez the Killer….. Always Rockin!
Musicians playing live in the studio may be the only thing AI can't steal from us.
just discovered your greatness. thanks for sharing
Very interesting… so much talent !
Well done RFG. And good luck with this whole project. I was doing a Neil Young set in the 70"s and 80's. I'm 71 now and my last gig was last autumn. Did ohio and cost of feedom.????. Lots of Neil on my channel. Cheers ????
Every once in a while the YT algorithm throws me a genuine gem. This is one of them. Neil Young is a major part of the soundtrack of my youth. Thanks!
Far out, man! You're the king. Neil all the way.
Thanks ???? I've seen all my favorites except Neal. This certainly will give me a better understanding if it ever happens.
Thank you ……..
You guys just played up my way in VERY upstate NY, so I thought I'd check this out!
