- Thank you to our patron Bombastic Bushkin for this heavy choice. Wow. I don't think I've ever heard.. such melancholy in a song. It looks happy. But it sounds so, so sad. I felt so lonely while listening to this. Neil is such an amazing songwriter. I connect with his lyrics and style so much. Maybe not a good thing? But who knows. This man is an artistic treasure.

I think On the Beach is my favorite Neil Young record. I've been listening to it for years. All the songs are moody and introspective. Revolution Blues absolutely kills. But it's hard to say it's my favorite album by him. He has so many great albums. Great way to spend Sunday Lee!
There was a period where I'd play side two of this album every single night while falling asleep.
With tonights the night this album is awsome😮
Definitely check out the whole album, even if not in reactions.
Congrats on chance to celebrate your daughter's 3rd b-day. B-days are fun when kids are involved. At my age they're just a sad reminder of time passing.
You're right. Love to hear this with Stephen!
One of my favourite artists and probably one of the most underrated guitarists. I love his unique way of playing, instantly recognisable and so melodic. He literally makes his guitar sing and talk to you. 👏
He even manages to make his guitar utter heartbroken sobs on "Down by the River".
A friend told me once that alone, or loneliness, is where God is. Never forgot that
I love this part of his career. This album in particular has so many great songs on it.
……great choice bro ! Love that you find songs nobody else react too ❤️ love that you feel & understand Neil 🙏🏻❤️🤘🏼
This is a very strong album, lyrically. Some of Neil's best poetry. At the same time, it is definitely one of his bluesiest efforts. It was written in the wake of ending one of his deepest relationships up to that time with actress Carrie Snodgrass.
The songs were put together during his depression phase after the death of Denny Whitten and Roadie Bruce Berry, part of a trilogy of albums, the others "Time fades away" and "Tonight's the night"
Yeah I remember hearing about his death when I did the video for "needle and the damage done" what a damn shame. Neil went through it. He feels very deeply. I can tell
@@L33Reacts That event significantly changed his career. Truly a formative tragedy.
A wonderful album, that it's hard to believe was effectively out of print for over two decades. I was lucky enough to find a scratched up copy for $2 in the early 90s and listened to it over and over and over.
Spiraling down towards Tonight's the Night (my favorite Neil record, but a tough listen for some folks). Sad Neil was such great company. Maybe because he either kept us company or made our own sadness seem trivial in comparison.
It took me a couple of listens to really appreciate Tonight's the Night, but once you really feel it, it never leaves you. I get it.
@@stpnwlf9 After the Gold Rush, Everybody Knows..., and Zuma are all great records and easier to listen to but Tonight hits in a different way.
One of my all-time favourite albums, and album cover - amazing stuff here. Pretty sure that after Neil gave his record company Tonight's The Night', they found it too dark and personal and asked him for something else - and this is what he delivered to them. The cover is sheer f*cking brilliance - Neil standing on the beach, looking into a turbulent future, with the ashes of the 60s idealism behind him. Every track on this album is genius, but this is definitely one of the best. Terrific choice, and awesome reaction as always. I'm seeing Neil and Crazy Horse in Ottawa in July, it'll be my fifth time seeing Neil, and third with the Horse, so I'm pumped. Long like Uncle Neil - peace and love from Canada ☮
I was 16/already a big NY fan when this came out. My local AOR FM station played "Walk On" as the introduction cut to it (which was the most Harvest-like track on it, IMO), so it didn't initially seem like a big change of direction: when I picked it up and gave the whole album a listen, it was jarring. That being said, it didn't take long for it to grow on me - and this song just floors me.
On The Beach is arguably his best album. Haha if course it's arguable. I think it's my favorite though. Revolution Blues is at the top of the list of Neil Young rockers that most people don't know.
"Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away" is the perfect example of how Neil can say the simplest thing that is so profound.
People and friends come and go in life..l have 3 very close friends in my life l've had for many many years. They're always there and they've got my back. 👍
I discovered this LP in the early 80's, and for a period of time, I was immersed into it. The whole record is excellent and critically acclaimed.. I was experiencing some issues with depression, and the LP helps you connect with deep emotions and feelings. This and REM's, Fables Of the Reconstruction..
Through you, I'm reliving my youngest time...Neil Young, CSN&Y, Jethro Tull, CCR, Jackson Brown, The Byrds The Who, Simon &Garfunkel..ok I'd like more early Bowie, absolutely more Bob Dylan, The Band and people like: Fairport Convention, Strawbs, The Pogues!!! P S. More Graham Nash (solo and with Crosby) THANKS
Thank you, Lee. Seems he''s always a deep reader of himself.
Visited a beach everyday in the Northwest for a long time and I did finally out of town.🤗
Oh pain. This will be my sweet baby's passing song. Astoria, my love, my sweet girl, my beauty. You left me. Astoria, my amazing kitty. My soul mate. It feels like a punch thru my heart. I'll listen to this song all day Lee. Thanks... Every lyric hitting me hard. The line, "tho my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away"... Because our problems and heartache are sometimes unbearable. Yet we manage to do it.
Lee…You can relate to Neil because he’s always authentic-good or bad. So many songs-try Razor Love on his Silver and Gold album. About his kids. Beautiful! Not very well known. He’s going to have a book(s) come out with lyrics to 1200 of his songs sometime soon
Neil's version of "the blues" I guess. There is a comfort to it though. A kind of lullaby quality. I like to put this on in the car for trips on nice sunny days. The song See The Sky About to Rain is pretty nice.
This is one of my favourite Neil Young albums!! I bought it back in 1974 and played the hell out of it!! Every song is killer!!❤❤❤❤
Nope decent but not great....way way overrated top 40 trash rock...obviously you never heard ZUMA or RAGGED GLORY....just wimpy boy
I've heard them all and l've got them ALL. Neil did alot of great stuff. Grow up.
@@dalemcmillan7231 Instead of just expressing his views in a post of his own, this guy persists in replying on others' and arguing with them - as if opinions about music are objective, instead of subjective.
The album has a lot of contrasts, but it's the 2nd LP of his " Ditch Trilogy " after the death of friends, his collapsing marriage and the price of fame. Time Fades Away was 1st and Tonight's the Night was the 3rd one. The LP after the ditches was Zuma and it's like sun breaking through the clouds though it still has it's melancholy moments.
Thank you for the info! I saw this was the middle of the "ditch" trilogy so I'm guessing this is the dark before the dawn? But knowing neil probably not lol he really did feel things very deeply. And he could translate those feelings to us through music so well
@@L33Reacts Beach is actually the last LP. Tonight's the Night was the 2nd, from 1973 but the record co hated it. Neil got it released in 1975. It's heavy and harrowing but there's an earlier version that Neil's dad said is so raw that "It grabs you by the throat from the 1st note and never lets go ! " Tonight..is my fave of the 3.
L33, man, this song got me through a lot of teen-aged angst. Like, wow, he knows how I feel.
That's exactly how I feel today. I love Neil🎧 my fav artist. My fav place on earth is my home on beach in Oregon. I lost my sweet kitty a couple days ago. I'm so heart broken. Funny, Neil always leads me to the crushing brink, and then reminds me I'll live thru pain. Still hoping for you to do "Borrowed Tune" or anything from "Tonight's The Night".... oh, oh, my kitten... 😭😞😢🌊 I miss her!!! I loved her too much.,So I lost her too soon
Borrowed Tune is a song that hits me so hard, I can't even understand it's impact. But it just does. It moves me deeply every time I listen to it.
@@stpnwlf9 yes ☺️ it's beautiful, but can bring me to tears before I can stop them. Love that whole albumn. Thanks
Alone again with all my friends.
This is a great album with some really hard hitting songs.
great Neil Young album. Not all downer songs. Many great songs, whole thing worth hearing. great set of musicians put together to record it. Including Levon Helm (drums) and Rick Danko (bass) from The Band, where they both were also vocalists. Don't think you have done anything by The Band, they are definitely worth some time.
Nope need Poco not wimpy boy crap
Great deep dive !
Lee...thanks for another great reaction video. Check out any live version of Like a Hurricane and then After the Gold Rush for coming down.
He has already reacted to the 1977 live version of Hurricane.
There's some dreary there, though I think this song is the nth degree. But the same record has 'Walk On' with Rick Danko and Levon Helm of the Band and 'Revolution Blues' which bites and then at the end, 'Ambulance Blues' long and wordy and an acoustic melody copped largely from Bert Jansch (unintentionally). I remember, as a fan, being concerned about Neil's health and view of the world until I heard 'Ambulance Blues' and thought, 'This guy's tossing out all the imagery from his early years, clearing the decks to start over.' And he then went on an amazing run from 'Tonight's the Night' and 'Zuma' all the way to 'Rust Never Sleeps' five years and albums later. Amazing stuff.
Yessss, great song, great album!
Ambulance Blues is a must🎵🎵🎵Tu fais un super travail.Bravo 😎
@@francoistraversy4604Ambulance Blues is a fav of mine as well
SO SO Album Ragged Glory way better than this crap
No it isnt....Looking For A Lover off Zuma way better
SRV Lenny live Elmacombo !
Sometimes after a run of records, one doesn’t hit. This record, American Stars and. Are, and Zuma. This album is a nice sleeper like the Stones Goats Head Soup
Melancholy superstar
Bleak record like Berlin or Sister Lovers or whatever Cale was up to, Helen of Troy...
Walk on upbeat but critical of media
See the sky about to rain...mixed cuz if you need water...slow jam awesome
Revolution Blues upbeat in tempo but dark in message it is about Charlie Manson
For the turnstyles more melancholy great tune
Vampire blues a downer but deep
On the beach...covered
Motion pictures somber and deep
Ambulance Blues worth the trip for what I would guess is one of the few songs to use the phrase...pissing in the wind...worth the trip for the phrase...lol
Can't go wrong with the beach.
Without a crowd of people.
But never ending waves...
Yup wasn't great RAGGED GLORY way better as Zuma was
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Just different. Not better. At least to me.
Wonderful song, it really takes you places! A great, overlooked album as well.
You want a mood ? Then listen to, See The Sky About To Rain. From, On the Beach,
This album is a masterpiece. It wasn't well received at the time. It not only chronicles Youngs disillusion with fame and success but the end of the hippy dream. I don't suppose people wanted to hear the party was over. The ditch trilogy was recorded in a different order to what they were released. Tonights the Night was recorded before this but the label balked at its release. It can be difficult hearing an artist bare his or her soul but the results are often worth it. There are more rocking songs on the album such as Vampire Blues and particularly recommended is Revolution Blues.
Generally, you want the seagulls to be out of reach. Those birds are mean bastards. Keep expecting you to investigate After The Goldrush - I think it's better than Harvest by a fairly lengthy chalk.
You have to listen to Chris Rea's song "On the Beach" it is a much happier tune - the official video version that is (there is also a slow version - but the original is better).
Check out Revolution Blues off the same album. Young’s response to the Charles Manson cult murders.
Ooof that's gonna be a rough one, aye?
@@L33Reacts Side two is all "bummer" songs. We were wearing "illegal smiles" one night hanging out with friends. This album was playing. When side one finished I said let's hear side two. Aw man, someone said, it'll bum you out. So they put on side two and it has haunted me , in a good way, ever since. Motion Pictures, On the Beach and Ambulance Blues.
@@peachbottom2010 I think, sales wise, this was one of his least popular albums, but it is one of my favourites by Neil.
Great song, amongst my top NY songs. When Tarantino left it off Once Upon a Time in Hollywood he missed a natural fit. He has so much Manson coverage and then misses the obvious choice to wrap it with a perfect bow. RIP Danny and Bruce
Kind of a dark, melancholy album but very good nonetheless. For the Turnstiles.
Yeah Harvest was way overplayed and was good but not great
Yeah too dark not as good as RAGGED GLORY
Nope not his best should have done Zuma or Ragged Glory...wasnt a great album
Ragged glory was great, but Zuma!! terminally dull
