Young, Neil - Road Of Plenty Lyrics

Thanks for uploading. This is my favorite version.

I love the original version from the album rocking into new world

He has so many great outtakes, it would make a double cd of greatest hits for any other band.

INTO THE nights thruth the years!

INTO THE Nightwish thruth THE Sears!

I enjoyed the rehearsal that’s also on here. It’s a Buffalo Springfield reunion rehearsal and you can see this song take shape and a great interplay between Neil and Stephen Stills. Interesting story on there too.

Neil telling Stephen Am,F,G

Judi Page Whats the rest of the story??

And this great song never made an album, except in revised form as "Eldorado". I like this one better, but the other is great also.

Wow this rocks!!!

She went spinin with that scretchy sound ...

I agree with Robert C., except for one thing: he has a shipload of these great songs. This one wasn't even released!

not this version but the song is on the 'freedom' album

This is a seminal achievement... Neil and the Horse at their most Raucous... His eyes are screaming blue, his hair as red as blood !!!

In my years I've had neither freedom nor foundation. I've only had the chains to ensure my survival.

great song

love this version, where to buy?!!

Thank you for posting that great version!

that nostalgic spirit of some musicians ..... is sublime ....

I'm sharing the exclusive, behind the scenes video of Neil Young in his early, creative stage of developing this song during a rehearsal w/ the founding members of the Buffalo Springfield that took place at Stephen Still's home in 1986 .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWMGFnXHk44

If your here and loving this - try this won't you =

Feel sorry for the Bull sacrifice.

Mr. Young, thanks for your music!!!

Already two great tracks I know of conceived around this time - Eldorado and Interstate. That Life album is already great but could have been twice as great. Anyway, the songs have made it onto the albums, so I am happy about that.

Did his most powerful , aggressive and positive stuff during the time when Reagan was running the show ?

SMELL THE HORSE

Pure acid.

And the photo too! Just works with this.

When the gates are closed to the roads of plenty.

Neil is a legend,words come to him and he is the one who must pass them on to us, so we can enjoy.His songs make me feel as though I am in them.

Yes!! We are in them!! Living his dream right along with him!! Wow!! Great way of putting it!! Far- out!!

Dang...hard to beat this on any day......

I'm just a dreamer and you're just a dream !
Great Neil, great music !!!

SMELL THE HORSE

GREATTTT

Don't forget Ralph "Poncho" Sampedro's rhythm guitar. It provides the perfect framework for Neil's powerful playing. Crazy Horse's Talbot and Molina locks in the beat and the Horse takes off. Gives me the shivers.

Sorry. You are right. I was thinking of drummer Ralph Molina.

Very interesting performance of Eldorado song. Fresh, nervous, rocky. Crazy Horse at the best !

Aivan parasta. Nupit kaakkoon.

*ADORE You Neil ..*

thanks, just wonderful

MR. BLACK SURE SOUNDS GOOD.

TONEGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like this version...I hope Neil releases a live album from this tour as part of his archives and we get an official version of this song.

...thank you , i am again on the bike : "CHE"...

Neil.....You are the BEST !!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

sono Italiano , ho ormai 50anni ed è da 40 anni che ascolto e Amo la sua musica infatti lui è mr. Soul , lui è il solitario ! lui è mr. Neil Young YEAAHHH -

bem Nostalgico. SHOW.

a crazy horse right

where was that picture taken?

+R04C8 That would be Monument Valley

+BrokenArrow24 I thought it might be Monument Valley :).

Giant tree stumps, Too big to hug!

Amazing heavy riff dominating the low E and A string!

Neil young your stay and be my Hero

the following is Mansfield in '86 > http://www.bigozine55.com/TRKS3/NYrop/NYrop307.mp3

So this one must be from an Eldorado tour, Lost Dogs or the Restless?

 I swore that this image was referring to the interior of Bahia-Brazil.

nice cloud

Love neil       sense  1969  t/g I when to Woodstock  I was a goner after that//

I love some of these bootleg live versions of some of his songs better than the official studio releases

Indeed, like "Campaigner" on "Days of gold and roses, Live in Tejas".

They always are better than the studio versions.

True that. I've always loved neil better live. You never know how it's going to be played. It changes every time.

For most artist , to put out one song like this might be considered a lifetime achievement , Neil has a wagon load of these , and sometimes it takes a Horse to pull that wagon .

Even if the horse is crazy...

+André T LOL!!!!!!!

He is my hero, a rare talent of song writings, great voice ....

robert christensen, well said, perhaps the best songsmith in rock history..

let the mountains echo this so to eternity

The voices in my head tell me to keep coming back to this song.

Had a tape of this 15 yrs ago, thanks for,posting

Azt hiszem, NY zenéjében, szövegében van meg mind az, ami egy a 60-70-es években fiatallá vált szabad ember akkor -és azóta is- élt, él, akárhol is nőtt fel (Nyugaton, vagy -mint én- a Vasfügönnyön innen..., és ez az ember (NY) akkor is, most is ugyanazt mondja, ugyan úgy érez, ritka dolog ez ebben a megkergült világban+Maradj sokáig köztünk NY, szükségem van, szükségünk van Rád!

Sept. 21, 1986
Great Woods Center
Mansfield,MA

It's from '86...the Live In A Rusted Out Garage tour w/ Crazy Horse...only tour it was played in this form. Thanks for posting, great song!

Neil Young is the finest guitar, composer,and performing music star of both the 20th and 21st century.

Some time in the future someone will be making a similar comment
about your generation,except for the music part.

A God; What more needs to be said....

Top down, night drive.

Awesome - absolutely awesome!

The Mannnnnnnnnn < 3

this is great exelent

What a ripping, shredding, guitar crunching song!! Long live Neil Young! GENIUS AT WORK!

What a great tune ...Played accoustic on mini album Eldorado thats the songs official name it came out around 1989 after he toured with his band at the time called The Restless.The mini album 5 tracks was only released in Australia origionally because allegedly Neil Youngs record company did not like his really heavy sound he started to experiment with and the album he gave them called Times Square.which had all the Eldorado tunes plus others on it .They were mistaken though

The Man

Brokenarrow Thank you for the song - MF.

it was only played in this arrangement in 1986 and possibly 87...not later. yes they sounded this good, don't be so surprised. viva crazy horse!

righteous...' they all were dancing til they took the beat away'

@phddddd - The Needle and the Damage Done you remember too yes indeed as so many RIP

@BDSKATER Yeah, and I heard Jack White likes a good teabagging

usa tour 1986 mansfield 86

Correction..... I meant castanets!!! Where are the Castanets!?!?!?!?! :-)

Where are the maracas!?!?!?! :-)

hey thanks for the music, no video no problem!!

I had to come back for another listen. I love the arangement of intruments here. Love the rhythm guitar work. Adds an entire demension that the version I have up on my channel doesn't have. This is my favorite version. Hey but neil is Neil and 99% of the music he does is off the charts. A cherished gift to the world he is. ~cg

love the freedom version. this is great too. amazing how nielistic he is when transforming.
such fun creative genius. nihilistique. i think the lyrics on the orig are more succinct and powerful. the music more precise. both are good to dance to or jam with or just dream and pretend your niel. fred neal

I am glad you posted this: who made better live rock recordings in the late 1970's and 80's than Neil Young and Crazy Horse?

This is an amazinggg version!!

I'm glad it wasn't on life to be honest... it'd have been messy, with the awful production that ruined said album (take around the world for example)... I'm hoping that the archives #3 might include some live stuff like this.

still, rockin version and a crunching riff, awesome

Road Of Plenty should have made it on the "Life" Album in 1987 but did not. The tune emerged then on 'Freedom' in 1989 as Eldorado with differing words. On Road of Plenty the 5th & 6th verses became the 2nd & 4th verses in Eldorado. I prefer the more dramatic musical in Eldorado however both are great songs. Thanks BrokenArrow24 for uploading these rare tunes.

astrololee

i think this one is on rock 'n roll cowboy, disc 4, great....

Great song! Great version. I heard this once.

Strange version knowing the one in freedom....nice surprise.

Changed info for this song. You're right, it cant be 1991. Dont remember, from which compilation i got the recording, but I just took the existing labeling. Which turned out to be wrong ;).
Well, this still doestn turn this gem into BS. ;)

This is from the '86 tour. I have a few boots from that tour. This could be from the Mansfield, Mass., or the Minneapolis show.

a very cool outtake from Eldorado. thanks

The setlist from '91 in Minneapolis does not show this song as having been performed. How do you know this is the source? It sounds like the '91 Old Black, but perhaps it is just a very high quality recording from the '86 tour (which have the only known performances of this song).

I'm tempted to call BS and say this is a mislabeled '86 performance.

first time hearing this and i've been hearin Niel for 40 years! awesome tune!

Thank you so much for posting this

I DUNNO. I JUST LISTENED TO THAT AGAIN. IT IS INSANELEY GOOD!

Sorry 'bout the caps.

cg55

Love it! Great raw Neil and the Horse. I think I'll stick an accoustic version of Eldorado up soon. I think you will enjoy it a lot.
