All you sweet young baby Neil Young Fans, You are just where you need to be and .... love is always stronger than hate so never give up Know that nowhere is that sweet spot in everyone's mind no one can ever touch
im 27 now but neil changed my life when i was at a pivotal moment at 22. i lived in a small ghetto in the northern part of Minneapolis Minnesota, uneducated and disambiguated, all my friends were lost to drugs and skull drudgery i... felt lost.. , i yearned for so much more. Neil was the beginning of a journey and awakening that changed my life. i now live in a place called loveland colorado, i have a wife and 2 kids living my own american farmers dream. yes im still hear with Neil along side while im walking my or rollin my joint.
You were raised well, I can tell. Give your parents a spiritual hug from me, I've been playing Neil Young songs on the guitar for 46 years now and I will until I take my last breath. Enjoy your magical mystery musical ride with this Prodigy of a man, a music humanity gift crossing two centuries and still going strong. 👏🏻Keep on rocking in the unfree world little man, there's nothing like Neil Young to keep a soul young with song.
So many great photographs in this set. Enjoyed them all and the music was truly an incredible gift. I like this “Sugar Mountain”. Now I’m about to roll over to Dec 5 1970 Carnegie Hall. Never know what special I’ll find I turn of the page. Thanks Donna Reidt❣️
Thank You Neil Young for being a main Soundtrack to my Life for over 1/2 century. My Millenial daughter feels the same. She saw you live in Eugene, OR a year ago. I'm jealous.
Oh tell me about it! 🤣 This made me lol. Brings me back to when I was binging some Neil young (and other stuff). I'd listen to his songs over and over again. Now I'm scouring TH-cam for every recording I can cuz I've blasted though his entire catalog.
I saw him live on the Rust Never Sleeps tour in 77 or 78. Great show. Had those weird little droids from Star Wars , he sat on a huge chair , there was a huge amp and acoustic guitar on stage. It was awesome. Thank you Frank.
Priceless... Our SEVENTIES would not be the same without Neil...Myself & Neil have ran parrallel all my life (Only one month apart). The only contact was "Eye to Eye" while sitting on the stairwell steps, at his concert at the PNE in Vancouver, British Columbia in the 80's ... great memories... Keep on gracing the word Neil ... your a profit of our time & one that the future generations need to listen too to survive!! xx
I saw him in Stratford Conn. solo no band in 1968 at the Filmore East twice with Crazy Horse at Woodstock with CS&N and then at Carnegie Hall in 1975ish. Every time he was fantastic and the Carnegie Hall show was beyond unbelievable. I love Neil Young he's up their with Dylan and the Beatles for me.
Larry,Just shared this from you dear friend.BEST Neil Young!!! And You Know How I Adore Him!!! Love The Songs & Pic's !!! You Know Your Music Larry Thanks honey!!!
I used to listen to KQED in the Salinas area, when we could, FM doesn’t do to well in the area. I found a way to get it eventually. I had to stick my neighbor on the roof covered in aluminum foil and stick an FM antenna to his nose with crazy glue , then run a wire to my stereo and I’d get KQED.
I wish I would've known how popular he was when I was 10 and he and a friend came walking up our driveway in 1970 wondering if we wanted to sell our property in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Been a Neil Young fan since I first heard the Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere back in 69 or 70 too long ago to remember. Love all of his music. Some of it I can't Listen to anymore since it saddens me too much. He's a poet whose words touch our very souls. Harvest Moon is one of those that I have a hard time listening to all the way through,reminds me too much of the way my life used to be.
back in college i got into neil young. i did a pencil drawing for hours that was super realistic. i played his music for hours and zoned into the paper. definitely felt out of time. my problem is i am always out of time, lost in la la land. i need someone to pay my bills and manage things. i am horrible at it.
Thanks for these recordings in 1970. Your retrospective photos of Neil thoroughout his career were awesome too. These were "raw recordings" showing the scope of Neil's talent shortly after "The Buffalo Springfield" years. I caught Neil singing "Do I Have To Come Right Out and Say It". He probably should have sang the lead to that song in 1966. Richie Furay did a great version too. In the early years, Neil's unique voice was untapped.
So sad that KQED gave up its music programming for all news/talk radio. Archives like these are all we have now of the great music that came through. .
Thanks for sharing. My older brother used to have some Neil bootlegs that came out before Harvest and they had a lot of the Harvest songs. Lots of Neil talking between songs too. Great memories!
Thanks for the reply Matt, they were for sure crazy times!! So many guys came and went during this time of exploration for me. I've forgotten half of what I remember, but there were some great guys many of which, sadly are no longer with us!!! A book? I'll have to look into that!!!
what an era! And to have Neil on tape in a live concert "in the day" so "a la natural" can serve as an inspiration to the generations just "comin' up". Thank for posting. If ya dig these blues check us out on youtube as well-johnnyguitar335
Everybody knows this is nowhere...well his carreer brought him to California...where you can check out but never leave...but a large part of his heart and soul are in Canada, places like Winnepeg and Toronto and a place in north Ontario
Sugar Mountain, I still play that song with my guitar, Im 59 and I remember that song from the 70's. I was always a huge Fan of CSNY especially Neil young. Neil has always been right there with Hendrix, Doors, Cactus, Beatles, Nugent Michigan's MC-5, Frost, Grand Funk, ZZ.TOP Styx, Damn Yankees. Beatles, Stones, Pearl Jam. does any one remember "Helpless" By Neil? .
Shakeytunes I like moonlight mile.Learning the finer points of the song a bit at a time.Played all of Neil's music and have most of the sheet music.Since 1976.
I was a roadie for a band in the seventies. They were marginally successful. I am a journalist, but my expereience as a roadie could only garner a short story at best. You, however, could write a book if you wanted to, because it involves these great men.
I agree.I was their too. It was the most memorable gig I've ever been to. I've been a Neil fan for 40 years, so I guess I'm biased. Pity he had to cancel the August show.
Interesting comment by Neil how he loved Danny Whitten’s song, “I Don’t Want To Talk About It,” but Danny never wanted to play it. I wish Neil would have played it live or recorded it. Just that little snippet he did sounded great. One of my favorite songs made popular by Rod Stewart.
All you sweet young baby Neil Young Fans,
You are just where you need to be and ....
love is always stronger than hate so never give up
Know that nowhere is that sweet spot in everyone's mind no one can ever touch

Dear Jake,
Many blessing to you and your family. You are living large. Keep rocking out to my old friend Neil Young. He also saved my life.
Ruth
What she said!!!!!PERFECTLY
+Lila Sue McClendon Ruth Burant.....I like your thinking.
I’m 19 discovering Neil who quickly became my favorite artist. Wish I can see him live soon.
Enjoy the Neil ride my friend!

You need to see him live. I hope you do! I saw him in Phoenix with Blind Melon And With CSNY and he is always the star
Whoever turned us on to all these historic pictures, thank you so much !!!!!
Magnifique😊

My Millenial daughter feels the same. She saw you live in Eugene, OR a year ago. I'm jealous.
I feel very sorry for the 55 poor souls who hit the thumbs down.
So beautiful
They were just so smitten with this version of the song, they accidentally hit "dislike".
Well, here goes another 3 month Neil binge!
You're not alone....I always come back, it never gets old, and there's so much great, great music.
So true 🌼🌺🌸🌿
mansiononthehill Neil has been my only companion during four months lockdown here in the UK.
I’m at month 8 of my first binge where do I go after this?
Oh tell me about it! 🤣 This made me lol. Brings me back to when I was binging some Neil young (and other stuff). I'd listen to his songs over and over again. Now I'm scouring TH-cam for every recording I can cuz I've blasted though his entire catalog.

I wish I had known about ghosts on the road a long time ago I had been in your young fan since I was 8 in 1967. ❤️
Wonderful pics that take me back to being a roadie for Neil in the summer of 71. Great times, but a lot of work!!
Merci pour toutes ces photos. Neil Young un artiste incroyable, un compositeur surdoué , une voix pure, un talent magique.
Must have been magical, I dream of seeing him in the 70s, however I'm only 18
u will get that chance buddy ,:-0
Priceless... Our SEVENTIES would not be the same without Neil...Myself & Neil have ran parrallel all my life (Only one month apart).

One of the great song writers. Up there with Dylan.
Better than Dylan in my opinion
And Van Morrison, JJ Cale, and Townes Van Zandt
Dylan can't touch Neil
Whoever you are, I can't express in words how much this meant to me tonight. Thank you.
I know exactly what you mean.
Shafty1981 - glad you found enjoyment and peace from this little Neil Young musical gem. It's all about the music....
I saw him in Stratford Conn. solo no band in 1968 at the Filmore East twice with Crazy Horse at Woodstock with CS&N and then at Carnegie Hall in 1975ish. Every time he was fantastic and the Carnegie Hall show was beyond unbelievable. I love Neil Young he's up their with Dylan and the Beatles for me.
Neil far better the beatles and better thsn Dylan. Neils the Goat Songwriter.
Neil is my favorite artist of all time he's just a cool dude.....
WOW I have been listing to Neil for a long time and have fell in LOVE with this.
Larry,Just shared this from you dear friend.BEST Neil Young!!! And You Know How I Adore Him!!!
Love The Songs & Pic's !!! You Know Your Music Larry Thanks honey!!!
Everybody knows this is nowhere was the last song Neil played in London 17th June 2013. Fantastic show could not of hoped for a better gig!
wow just great thanks fer sharin'.....love the historical pictures ...ah man....soul power

To think Neil wrote Sugar Mountain on his 19th birthday! So wise and gifted at such a young age.
more like "good drugs" if you ask me, plus a wise upbringing!!!
More like what he already said.
a lifetime ago for most I reckon
Yep:)
+Stuart Walker Thousands of people had access to the same drugs but almost none, and maybe none, have equalled what Neil's given us
I wish I would've known how popular he was when I was 10 and he and a friend came walking up our driveway in 1970 wondering if we wanted to sell our property in the Santa Cruz mountains.

🌹09:20 pulls my heart strings everytime.
👏🏻Thanks for sharing.
I had a wonderful time listening to this. I felt out of time. Did me a lot of good. Thanks a lot
made me wish I could go Back in Time
back in college i got into neil young. i did a pencil drawing for hours that was super realistic. i played his music for hours and zoned into the paper. definitely felt out of time.
my problem is i am always out of time, lost in la la land. i need someone to pay my bills and manage things. i am horrible at it.
thanks for uploading this! the audio and pics are priceless. love you neil. the world would be empty without you.

takes me back to younger years... luv it
Happy 70th Birthday Neil Young! Now I won't be back, till later on
If I do come back at all....
RustedTelevisione Here We Are In The Years Where The Showman Shifts The Gears
So sad that KQED gave up its music programming for all news/talk radio. Archives like these are all we have now of the great music that came through. .
the whole organic music culture of the Bay Area may have been lost for a time, but even Silicon Valley shall pass
fantastic pictures, a real joy to watch and listen
Thanks for sharing. My older brother used to have some Neil bootlegs that came out before Harvest and they had a lot of the Harvest songs. Lots of Neil talking between songs too. Great memories!
The Massey Hall Canada CDS have some great songs,released 1971. Like Bad song of loneliness?
Thank you for sharing this! 😊
Great old photos of Neil. I had a few pair of patchwork jeans just like his. Good old days! :)
Me 3... patches sown onto other patches on my butt, became its own unified piece if cloth, like a quilt😉🎸
Great pictures and songs.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for doing this one up so nice. I'm so glad he took another crack at "Wonderin'" - that's the keeper here, for me.
God made Neil young just for me
How about million of others? Going to see Neil in Kilkenny,Ireland next July 14th.
captures the tape-spooled-and-unspooled-out-of-the cassette-many-times warble exactly, right on
Awesome rust and classic music never sleep! Thax for the share!
Sugar Mountain inspired and another great song, "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell, which she wrote it in response to Sugar Mountain.
Excellent!
Rare photos! From a visual standpoint, best NY video on this tube.
Made me grab my guitar and play along. :)
You got some noodling songs I missed and also I hear quite a few that you missed. Well, until next time I listen....
Awesome video...Neil and only Neil..Ciao,Marco
Thanks for the reply Matt, they were for sure crazy times!! So many guys came and went during this time of exploration for me. I've forgotten half of what I remember, but there were some great guys many of which, sadly are no longer with us!!! A book? I'll have to look into that!!!
Thank You for this!! Thank You All For This!! God Bless You All!! k33
I'll be dammed!! I Thought this song was from 1985.You blow my mind Neil!!!
Very cool video, a fav, a keeper to watch again
Thank you so much for posting! Fabulous photos!
Amazing pictures and video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Crazy Magic This Is ...
Nowhere
Wonderin,
Sugar
wow dig those patches on the back of those pants....
Great music! So many AMAZING photos!
my 2nd favorite composer .. behind Bob Dylan
Yeah,but Neil has a much better voice
Idiot Wind
The best three songwriters of all time, in my opinion, are Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt.
great to hear this again
Great clips. Best I've seen in a long time.
Many photos I've never seen and I thought I saw them all!
Jeremy you have good taste. Neil Young is a special artist.
See u in nyc!!❤
magnifique et attendrissant
nice...thanks for sharing
Still livin' the dream...
So CooooooooooooooooooooooooooL.
Beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you. Peace...
Everybody Knows - this is choice
Great work with the pictures

Neil Young's concert. Rome 26 July 2013 . Io ci saro' ho gia' preso i biglietti, non me lo perderei per nessuna ragione!!
Amore ❤️ Amore ❤️ Infinito 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🌶🌶🌶
@0:40 Neil was carrying JIM CROCE son. That was very cool seeing both legends.
thanks for this upload.
Great respect for this dude
Tks a million for such a treasure!!!
Only one Neil Young, another Canadian gift to the world.
I fucking LOVE these tunes! thx so much for uploading.
Thanks, Dave.
simple makes great
LOVE
Too cool.
AWESOME pics !!!!! Thanks :)
Killer....top shelf for sure
Magic guitarman

t9407ts Neil above all those mentioned, except the Stones
Shakeytunes I like moonlight mile.Learning the finer points of the song a bit at a time.Played all of Neil's music and have most of the sheet music.Since 1976.
+t9407ts oh yes, helpless, helpless help-less. Beautiful song.
Wow. so cool
He is the man
I love it!!!!!
Neil writes the simplest guitar melodys,and I cant write a one song
Ben Fong Torres said that Neil and Emmy-Lou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Gram Parsons jammed together. I found that interesting.
Took me nearly 50 years to realize this probably refers to living in the US (or possibly LA)
I was a roadie for a band in the seventies. They were marginally successful. I am a journalist, but my expereience as a roadie could only garner a short story at best. You, however, could write a book if you wanted to, because it involves these great men.
