Been 20 years now. It's been 50 since he wrote this. He always cared about the land & the people who worked it, forever the toil for the betterment of the whole.
It's crazy how I'd listen to this beside the 1971 BBC version. There are not many musicians who I'd listen to a version so many years newer and love as much as
How can he still sing so high? I've lost my upper register with age as most people do -- Neil is magic. This is one of his best songs IMHO. Sounds like he's lowered the open tuning to a double C?
That's always been his voice while singing, he doesn't stress to do it. I don't know anything about singing, but maybe some people just have it built in. It always seemed since I was a kid that it was just so natural to him. He wasn't trying that's just what it was
Yep, this guitar is tunes down Two whole steps to C. Then the high and low strings tuned a step lower for that double drop effect. It's not easy keeping all the strings in tune when this low, his other songs in C with this guitar at this concert are Cowgirl in The Sand and Harvest Moon, also here on TH-cam.
Neil first sang this song in the summer of 1970, its best rendition recorded on 4 Way Street. Considering the length of time since then, his voice has held up rather well.
Today Neil sings . His love pours out of him . His song portrays a kind ,gentle man who has battled the legacy of love and happiness . We love you Mr Neil. You are a wonderful man . ❤❤❤
Sweet smooth calming reassuring, a true living legend! Listening to Neil restores my faith in humanity. Don't see much these days. Long live Neil. ☮️💟🌟
Neil always brings tears to my eyes, both from the true person he is and the impeccably beautiful music he makes. I'd love to meet that man, let alone split a pitcher of beer with him.
Oh my gawd... this makes me feel so much. Neil Young & this cause are so important. I wish I had seen this earlier. This song is really important to me as well. ✌️💚♾️
phantastic performance of the old wonder, accompanied me since 1972 when I was 15, now I am 65... Greetings form the black forest in southwest germany!
Love this song. Have loved your music since my first year in college, 1972. Then again when you did that wonderful duo with Jimmy Fallon. God bless you every day and every song. Susan in iowa.
This was one of the first songs of Neil's that blew me away, from the BBC 1971 concert version. I think the first was Little Wing, from Hawks and Doves, that just connected with me then, as a young lost soul, and still now it means something, if nothing else does!
Check out Warren hayes doing since ive been loving you... Saw them last year at pine knob...jason bonhoms led zeppelin tribute opened...the warren...played...half his show....followed by ...dark side of the mule...

He has so many great songs but this is one of his best; essential part of my 20s

It is a tone lower key than he did before. But still brilliant.
its double drop b flat he tuned down from c standard so its a step lower than the after the gold rush version

I just love and respect him SO MUCH. I never get enough of listening to him whether now or 1967. Genius!!!!!!!

That buzzing bass string is haunting....LOVE IT!
Since I was a small pup....I have always thought of Mr. Young whenever I heard or read the word DEDICATION....Seems like a perfect fit.
I still love this man so much 50 yrs. later.
Instant emotional reaction to his voice. For 50 years.
Music just pours from your veins. Thank you Neil for all you’ve done.

As we are maturing with this song, it always gets better - like a good cheese. - and wine of course
One of my favorite songs of all time. Amazing song from an amazing activist singer and songwriter.
This song is dear to my heart
I was in high school when this came out on "Four Way Street" and this song still inspires. Long may you run.
Actually it was issued 7 months earlier as a studio track on After The Gold Rush.
@@tomformanek3312 I've always preferred the live version.
@@Fotosaurus56 Which is fine. I preferred the Crazy Horse version as the entire album blew me away.
Genius at work
Still fantastic after 30 years

Getting better just like the late, great Johnny Cash! RIP.
What a human being.
Mesmerizing. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Top man. Genius. Legend. .....in any order

Still amazing. It gets me every time.
I like this acoustic live version and moreso because it's actually for a purpose-driven org.
Great song, I'd say he's seen his better days.
I'd say he's doing pretty well, considering his age, the amount of time he's spent on the road and of course, the drugs.
absolutely lovely such talent
Respect
Un de mes titres 4:33 préfèrés de" Harvest"....😊
64 back then
Great performance great soul 💜

Build from the bottom-up has resonance in 2023
Perfection.
Grande Neil Young!
Lui è un grande genio ❤️
Brillante!!!!!
Respecting
Wow! he's tuned down 2 steps and dropped "D" which is Bb.
Any country that loses farms has lost the plot.
forever man x
Neil's guitar sounds like a giant redwood tree! Tall and ominous!
Good song
I also love Annie Lennox version!
Me too!
No one is immortal :( Its always sad to someone lose the edge in their secret weapon from the wearing of time...
Neil is imortal.. make no mistake.
Genius at wirk

Check out Warren hayes doing since ive been loving you...
Saw them last year at pine knob...jason bonhoms led zeppelin tribute opened...the warren...played...half his show....followed by ...dark side of the mule...
❤❤❤❤❤
I'd like to see Neil jam with Stapleton
January 2025 brought me here ❤
Still sounds incredible! I'm sorry I think he's s better lyricist then Bob Dylan
chris dougherty Leonard cohen is better than both of them
there is no thing like "better" or "worse" when it comes to such great poets as Dylan, Cohen and Neil Young.

i often wondered what dylan thought of neil .
@@wayneschlegel1340 You got it.
Down In the key of Bb now
i love the sound of his well worn Martin guitar, but he seems
to hit several flat notes throughout the song, for some reason.
anyone know what tuning he's using here? i thought it was capoed.
This is in double drop B right?
Don’t let it(covid) get you down
Neil young don’t let it get you down
Cause, Neil her Father is also ayyy Farmer hahhh, Don't you'll know that
330 per week!!!
Neil Young? Too many People didn't not understand about the Licricks , for watta kind ahh sing ahh Songs?
If you think farmers have it bad think about the animals they torture and slaughter.

Neil < Joe Rogan
