1. Powderfinger

[cemaphonic]

20. Beat me to it

I think next would be Pocahontas.

[Enthusiast]

39. That is soooo good.

Loves it!

[Enthusiast]

41. Neil just kicks ass!

I have always wondered what the lyrics meant. It creates a story in your head.

I get the image of slow moving stern wheeler, a steam boat, coming up river to lay down the law. The kid on the dock is one of a group of renegades of some kind. He has a battered old, heavy, long barreled flintlock rifle.

2. Four Strong Winds

(although this one is not actually written by him - beautiful nonetheless)

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are looking good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, so I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Still I wish you'd change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

I'll look for you if I'm ever pass this way

[Enthusiast]

35. I love that!

[applegrove]

3. Lotta Love

[Enthusiast]

37. Fantastic! One of my favorites.

[DFW]

4. Cinnamon Girl

[ghostsinthemachine]

5. Fuckin up (With Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real)

#action=share

PTR is his best band ever IMO. I know Neil has never shared the stage with another guitar player who could jam like Lukas.....Deep cuts all tour and some sick ass jamming between Niel and Lukas (and occasionally Micah too!)

[ghostsinthemachine]

6. Well except for one jam band anyways

Down By The River, with Phish. Sick sick sick shit this is.

[Enthusiast]

25. I found that one recently. Awesome.

[Hoyt]

7. If I gotta pick among so many -- Ohio and Southern Man.

[retread]

8. Ohio

[lastlib]

16. ^ ^ ^ +1 jazillion!! ^ ^ ^

Perhaps the greatest song ever written about one of the seminal events of recent history!
(...unless you count MAD Magazine's "Ballad of the Kent State Killers"!)

[MrMickeysMom]

61. My top pick, too!

Stephen Stills broke down and cried at the end of that studio produced song.

[MerryBlooms]

9. Harvest Moon

&list=PLvdVG7oER2eF8xXmOXCvu1OuFi16q1SZ3

[2naSalit]

13. That's my choice!

Though I love a lot of Neil's songs, Four Strong Winds is another I truly love.


But then there's this...

[Enthusiast]

24. That's a dandy.

[MerryBlooms]

55. Yep, beaut!

[geardaddy]

48. This!

My fave!

[MerryBlooms]

56. It's timeless- you have great taste in music! lol

[lame54]

52. That was our wedding song...

Me and Unapatriciated

[MerryBlooms]

57. Beautiful bride and groom... Lovely video.

I wish you many years of nothing but the best that life has to offer.

[MerryBlooms]

[Enthusiast]

34. That's what I was thinking.

[MerryBlooms]

11. Saddle Up The Palomino

&index=228&list=PLvdVG7oER2eF8xXmOXCvu1OuFi16q1SZ3

[Enthusiast]

33. I love that LP.

[Throd]

12. Mr. Soul

[PufPuf23]

14. Wooden Ships and Down By the River

I saw CSNY at Winterland November 1969; it was a Bill Graham anti-war benefit for the Moratorium Day street protests in San Francisco (and DC etc.) - at the time they were the largest street protects in the history of the USA and maybe still are.

[Enthusiast]

32. Wow!

That is some version of Down By the River!

[PufPuf23]

38. This is an awesome thread. nt

[Enthusiast]

45. I get all fired up when we have Neil thread. Can you tell?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

15. I might be posting this again , in a few short weeks.

as I have for my last few birthdays that I've spent at DU:

[Enthusiast]

31. Way to go, Joe!

[Tom Kitten]

17. Danger Bird

hard to choose just one...

[Enthusiast]

30. Yeah!

[lastlib]

18. Spirit Road really rocks:

yeahhhhh!

[Enthusiast]

29. + a bazillion! Yeahhhhh!

[hibbing]

19. Don't have a video but I LOVE the whole Greendale album and story

I have been a fan, but not a huge fan. I've listened to Greendale hundreds of times and my respect for him grew immensely have listening to it. It is a whole story album that is cool. I have the live Amsterdam version. Modern story, but still has some hippy vibeness.

Falling From Above
Double E
Devil's Sidewalk
Leave the Driving
Carmichael

Well, I guess I could just list all the songs from it.


Peace

[Contrary1]

This is old time sounding stuff with Crazy Horse. Watch the far out video.

[Enthusiast]

27. Thank you, LynneSin. I am crazy about Neil Young.

T-Bone, & it's got a good beat, you can dance to it.
