Story behind this is I am in Italy promoting Terminal Bliss in 1991 and I am approached by a TV show that is affiliate with Rolling Stone (they were dabbling with an MTV channel at the time). They asked me to do some filmic interviews and I Neil was my first one. I went on to do MC Hammer and 50 percent of the Beatles.

    Love to see Neil discuss, and be so open minded about other emerging genres like house music,, techno, and hip hop. In this respect he was ahead of many of his peers, he's more similar to Bowie than Crosby

    The best concert I've ever been to was 2013 Geelong, Victoria, Australia. He played well till the rain crept up and then became heavy. Most would've called it off at that stage. But he just stayed and played like a mad professor at the top of his castle and even as the craggy base was tumbling to the sea. He just played possessed. He played "Like a Hurricane", "Powderfinger" and maybe "Cortez the Killer" for about an hour. He is my fave guitarist. Other's may be better, more technical or tight. But Neil actually is a guitar. He expresses emotions through the guitar that no-one else can. His songwriting is just next level. He can make you reminisce for places you've never been to. l feel l know Canada because of him. So many great songs of emotional intensity, panoramic vision, genuine honesty, simple truths and ethereal otherworldliness. He is equal to any songwriter ever. Only Dylan has stamped a bigger imprimatur on modern music. As it stands now he is in the company of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jimi Page, David Bowie, Brian Wilson, John Lennon, Kate Bush, Madonna, Prince. It really pisses me off that he doesn't have a wider recognition. Keep on Rockin in the 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇨🇦🇦🇺 Interesting factoid: Neil, Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell are all Canadian, all Singer Songwriters, all Scorpios and all have had major blood issues.

    Neil always stays true to himself, he does it his way. And his music is genius.

    I'll never forget the first time I saw Neil in concert with CSN...they started with acoustic and no Neil....then they got out the electric and cute Neil was hiding behind the amps and slowly emerged, crowd went crazy, I was front row center. I was 14, a mad crush on Neil. Never forget that. I love him so much. Part of my life. He is one of a kind, a musical angel, gift from God. Bless you, Neil, long may you run. :hand-purple-blue-peace:
  • Man is he down..completely focused in the moment. Very intense. He's done the same thing for over 50 years.
  • I've listened to Neil for 50 years and he never does not impress.

    Great job with this, Jordan! You asked great questions, covering so many topics (his current music, Woodstock, the Rolling Stones, Bill Graham, films...) and kept him happy and talking! He gave a great interview here. You led and captured it well!
  • This is a great clip of film showing your true personality and I enjoyed this greatly! Low on views as premiered just Aug. 31 2022 but I loved it! Thank you for the story behind this and daying the actual recording time frame! 😉😊

    Quelle merveilleuse interview. Simplicité, tolérance, douceur, talent. Bref, une belle personne pour une bien belle musique! Merci de l'avoir postée🙏☮️❤️
  • To chyba bylo nagrane z 20 lat temu - wystarczy znać Younga sluchać jego nowych dokonan i wywiadów i znać wygląd jak się zmienia z wiekiem 👍⭐🤠

    Believe it or not. Last night I listened to the Album Raggerd Glory at full volume. Finishing with live at Filmore East. Danny Whitton. Hi Frank.
  • Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazey bar, dancing on the light from star to star.............
  • He had one of perhaps most iconic rock influencers in a very relaxed state and the questions he asked were uninteresting. Did he talk about the early years with B. Springfield? Ok, what about his involvement with Pearl Jam and the effect he had on grunge? His charity work? His views on some his most iconic songs? Thoughts on touring in this modern era? I had to stop after 8 minutes
