Rock legend Neil Young surprised a protest crowd in Canada over the weekend with his first in-person performance since 2019.

Young and his wife, actor Daryl Hannah, appeared unannounced at an event protesting the logging of old-growth trees in British Columbia.

1. I love the Comes a Time album. I may put that on later. You don't hear much from that on the

radio ever.

6. One of his best

A great album at the peak of his "Neil Young-ness". Not sure why but it always makes me feel hopeful.

15. Nickolett Larson really shows up on that. She opened a Charlie Daniels Band show I

saw about 1980. Cute and tiny with hair about as long as she was tall. I loved her.

16. I adored her

Died way, way too young.

2. You may consider cross-posting this elsewhere

BTW, I was today years old when I found out that Neil Young and Daryl Hannah were married. As you may have guessed, I don’t keep up with that kind of stuff.

3. Don't feel bad. Most people don't know it.

4. I do, too. Thanks for posting this!

EYESORE 9001 mentioned cross-posting.

You're more than welcome to cross-post this to Music Appreciation.

13. After all these many years at DU

I don't know how to cross post.

[highplainsdem]

14. It's just copy and paste. I typically mention at the top

of the message (not the title) if it's a cross-post, and from where, but you don't have to.

With messages with both video and text, I'll click edit on the original thread to copy the text and the video link(s) to save a bit of time, then make sure I don't really edit the original. But you can just copy the text as it appears in the message and then copy the video link(s) separately. I find clicking Edit Post to get to the message text and video links much easier when it's something like this, with 5 videos initially

5. One of my very favorites. Saw him in Spokane, sat right up front.

During the monsanto tour. Fantastic.

Old growth now. How cool is this guy. Yea the jokes write themselves but I choose to leave that alone.

7. Oh, Ferrets are Cool

Just got full-body goosebumps. Grandma would say it’s the Spirit moving.
Takes me and my forest mountain soul way back, takes me far far ahead.
Sang along with feeling, smiling through my tears.
Many thanks

10. And the Neil Young quote that goes with this thread:

“When I speak out on corporations hurting the common man or the environment or other species, I expect a well-financed disinformation campaign to be aimed my way.” ~ Neil Young

18. Neil HAS a Heart of Gold

Great song writer
Great guitar player
Great human being

I too have listened to his music for 50 years. Hard to pick one song, but his guitar playing blows me away on Like a Hurricane.

19. Cortez is also a great song. It has some amazing guitar when he does it live.
