from the Concert at the "American Shakespeare Theatre", Stratford CT (1/22/71) See also the playlist with more songs from this concert here: • Neil Young 1971 live (...
A senior in college, I was sitting thirty or so feet away from him in the dark as he sang this, my heart in my throat. I never could have imagined that fifty years along I would get to experience this level of introspective expression, his pained befuddlement at dealing with a woman who attracts and repels him. That was the first time I heard Neil Young live, and I have been drawn to him like a moth to a flame ever since. The Stratford CT Shakespeare Theatre was a pretty small venue, designed so spectators can hear every word spoken. The stage, traditional in Shakespeare theaters, was on a slight angle, so everything on stage could be seen from the audience. Neil explained that he was having back problems, and that angle was throwing him off. When he moved from the chair to the piano bench, he held onto the piano like a roller skater holds onto the rail of the rink. He was good natured about it, chuckling about it, and the crowd was charmed. It was kind of like his music, lots of darkness and discomfort, but a brilliant and uplifting light shining out.

Because you are human and this as real and raw as it gets( Neil Young's very raw and primal) Rumor is that Linda Rhonstadt broke his heart and didn't even know it-Neil Young shared his feelings with his guitar and it taught him this song.

So different than the Crazy Horse version! He puts more focus on the song, but keeps that dirty essence going within a single player chordal acoustic guitar structure. Such a versatile player!
