    I come here a lot and when I mean a lot I like 4 times a week. Many versions of one of neils greatest achievements.

      Great song , only wish it was played louder. Sure I understand the reasons for not playing it at normal sound, but I wanted others to share the greatness of this song, though Neil had history wrong .. a bit.

    This vid has been in my favourites since i found it during Covid. It took me sooooooo long to find a version similar to that airport scene but since then, and as others have said, any time I need a mental break, or just to be transported somewhere else, this is where I come to.
    Simply saying thank you for posting this seems so insufficient for all the healing this video has given me, but it's all I have to offer; my eternal gratitude to you.

      @@vic748 I think there's a very similar version available on the extended version of the Almost Famous soundtrack. With the catch being, the only place I could find to get that being Amazon Music. Might be worth checking out. Not phyiscal, but might be of some assistance.

    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    And the palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his coca leaves and pearls
    In his halls, he often wandered
    With the secrets of the world
    And his subjects gathered 'round him
    Like the leaves around a tree
    In their clothes of many colors
    For the angry gods to see
    And the women all were beautiful
    And the men stood straight and strong
    They offered life in sacrifice
    So that others could go on
    Hate was just a legend
    And war was never known
    The people worked together
    And they lifted many stones
    And they carried them to the flat lands
    But they died along the way
    And they build up with their bare hands
    What we still can't do today
    And I know she's living there
    And she loves me to this day
    I still can't remember when
    Or how I lost my way
    He came dancing across the water
    Cortez, Cortez
    What a killer
