Neil Young & Promise of the Real - Hold Back The Tears - 2015
Музыка
A clip of Neil & Promise of the Real hashing out Hold Back The Tears (from American Stars & Bars) in the studio. This clip is from the the mini Neil documentary shot by Haskell Wexler earlier this year - • Neil Young-Haskell Wex...
BTW, Wexler is 93 years old and a legend in the film world. From wiki:
Haskell Wexler, A.S.C. (born February 6, 1922[1]) is an American cinematographer, film producer, and director. Wexler was judged to be one of film history's ten most influential cinematographers in a survey of the members of the International Cinematographers Guild.[3]
Early life and education
Wexler was born to a Jewish family in Chicago, Illinois, in 1922. His parents were Simon and Lottie Wexler, whose children included Jerrold, Joyce (Isaacs), and Yale. He attended the progressive Francis Parker School, where he was best friends with Barney Rosset.
After a year of college at the University of California, Berkeley and a tour in the United States Merchant Marine during World War II,[4] Wexler decided to become a filmmaker.
Based in Chicago, Wexler made many documentaries, including The Living City, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
Film career
Wexler briefly made industrial films in Chicago, then in 1947 became an assistant cameraman. Wexler worked on documentary features and shorts; low-budget docu-dramas such as 1959's The Savage Eye; television's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet; and TV commercials. (He would later found Wexler-Hall, a television commercial production company, with Conrad Hall.) He made ten documentary films with director Saul Landau, including "Paul Jacobs and the Nuclear Gang," which aired on PBS and won an Emmy Award and a George Polk Award. Other notable documentaries shot and co-directed (with Landau) by Wexler included "Brazil: A Report on Torture," "The CIA Case Officer," and "The Sixth Sun: A Mayan Uprising in Chiapas."
In 1963, Wexler served as the cinematographer on his first big-budget film, Elia Kazan's America, America. The film had a stunning look, and Kazan was nominated for a Best Director Academy Award. Wexler worked steadily in Hollywood thereafter. Wexler was cinematographer of Mike Nichols' screen version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), for which he won the last Academy Award for Best Cinematography (Black & White).[5] The following year had Wexler as the cinematographer for the Oscar winning detective drama, In the Heat of the Night (1967), starring Sidney Poitier. His work was notable for enabling the first major Hollywood film in color to be lit with proper consideration for a person of African descent. Wexler recognized that standard lighting tended to produce too much glare on that kind of dark complexion and rendered the features indistinct. Accordingly, Wexler toned it down to feature Poitier with better photographic results.[6]
He won a second Oscar for Bound for Glory (1976), a biography of Woody Guthrie (whom Wexler had met during his time in the Merchant Marine). Bound for Glory was the first feature film to make use of the newly invented Steadicam, in a famous sequence that also incorporated a crane shot. Wexler was also credited as additional cinematographer on Days of Heaven (1978), which won a Best Cinematography Oscar for Nestor Almendros. Wexler was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Underground (1976), recorded on Folkways Records in 1976.
He has worked on documentaries throughout his career. The documentary Paul Jacobs and the Nuclear Gang (1980) earned an Emmy Award; Interviews with My Lai Veterans (1970) won an Academy Award. His most recent documentaries include Bus Riders' Union (2000), about the modernization and expansion of bus services in Los Angeles by the organization and its founder Eric Mann,Who Needs Sleep (2006),[7] the Independent Lens documentary, Good Kurds, Bad Kurds: No Friends But the Mountains (2000),[8] Tell Them Who You Are (2004),[9] and Bringing King to China (2011).
Wexler has also directed fictional movies. Medium Cool (1969), a film written by Wexler and shot in the cinéma vérité style, is studied by film students all over the world for its breakthrough form. It influenced more than a generation of filmmakers. The making of Medium Cool was the subject of a BBC documentary, Look Out Haskell, It's Real: The Making of Medium Cool (2001).[10]
Produced by Lucasfilm, Wexler's film Latino (1985) was chosen for the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. He both wrote and directed the work. Another directing project was From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks (2007), an intimate exploration of the life and times of Harry Bridges, an extraordinary labor leader and social visionary described as "a hero or the devil incarnate, it all depends on your point of view."[11]

Geez Beth, pull your head out of the sand. Look around and observe. Denial is NOT a river in Egypt.
Old friend, it has been a real privilege to be on this wet rock at the same time you have. LONG MAY WE RUN!
Neil Young is brilliant. One of the few long-time, serving, artists that has kept true to himself and his music. No bs. Legend.
KZread is a great place to watch people grow old..
You will always be the STAR in ALL the BARS Neil, Like A Hurricane you are! God Speed!
I've been lucky enough too see Neil live a few dozen times beginning in LA in 1974. Solo, with Crazy Horse, impromptu sit-ins, small parts, major arenas...every fucking time it was strong & real. Two favorite; LA Forum "Rust Never Sleeps" Tour in the mid seventies & with "Promise of the Real" a year ago in Seattle. My 27 year old son grabbed a cassette (Tonight's the Night) out of my truck when he was 11 years old and just starting playing guitar, by the time he was 19 he was shredding his own Les Paul (with Bigsby custom attached) that he did one his own. Neil is a badd-ass MFR!!!
OMG! An underrated song from the American Stars and Bars album. I've loved it since I first heard it. Keep on rockin' in the free world! Your're like a hurricane.
Neil Forever Young, saw him twice whit this guys , 2 months ago and it was brilliant. Long may you run my friend.
Look what this man is doing... he's passing on to the next generation. He could command any band of his choosing, but chose a bunch of kids to train as "apprentices". What a testament.

Not just any kids though. Willie nelsons 2 sons.
I have loved this man and his music since I first heard him in 1967. This song from American Bars and Stars is a favorite. This wonderful musician just doesn't quit and while the ageing process changes us and slows us down it takes nothing from his brilliant lyrics and beautiful music. " Old Man Take a Look at my Life"..... well I've been looking for many years and I thank the Great Spirit often for the wonder that his life with all of the beautiful music he's written have brought to mine and all who've been fortunate enough to hear it over these many years.

Neill you are one of the few people than make me speechless, just incredible. Loved you through all the weird times along with the classic Neill Young times.
Absolutely love this lad he cant do any wrong in my eyes 🤟🍻
What a wonderful way to wake up!LOVE .LOVE...LOVE the song.For such a serious GENTLEMAN you are so in touch with the humanity of us people. Thank you boy's ❤
i love neil young and his music very original and relevant.
I have loved Neil Young for many years......his music is still good but it's difficult to watch him because it reminds me what time does to us myself included. The ravages of age but the pureness of the spirit.
Love Neil Young. The music is beautiful!! thank you
Rock n Roll can never die-love to se him at Dalhalla Sweden next summer
This wonderful man looks way younger than a man I know who is 57 ,way younger , most beautiful smile & warms my heart .❤️
I love American Stars n' Bars!
...thank you, a joy to see him perform again.
Another totally surprising gem of a song and performance that I need a thrice daily fix of..
I've been a lifelong fan from the mid 70's, so I loved being able to see this iconic tune for the second take! The Spanish Flair and Harmonies wound me up like a three dollar watch on the forth of July ! I would love to hear a New Version,Where you all Rock it just a tad more and bring it back to The Real World!
Love this man! I am looking forward to many more years Neil! I can't help but love you more at 24...do some more stuff!
Just Beautiful !!
They have pulled this one out a few times on this tour. Live it's simply hypnotic what they are doing with it. POTR has brought out something and they are just slaying some of Neils "golden oldies". Thanks for dusting this stuff off, Neil, we are all waitin' to go around the next corner with ya'!!!!!!
THANKS
Great man. I love him

He is in Hawaii, retired, and eating aspargus organic at the Bamboo restaurant up at Hawi every day. Just how I hope I will be in 10 years as an artist taking a hike down to Pololu Bay.
como vinho, quanto mais velho cada vez melhor!!!
My friend saw him in 1966 at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach , a tiny little club
Great song!
. Nice work Mr. Soul . ~~~ >>> :) (:
A genius.
Mr. Neil Young, I followed your life's music and it is part of my life as my as brothers who wrote for Tom Petty and I wish in the song where he says "let our farmers grow" it would say "let our people go" and incorporate in the song somewhere to "stop the genocide". We need to go to the root of the concerns like Who is Monsanto where did they come from Let's get real it's IG Farben's USA Sister Co.

Oh my!😄🌄
If getting up ....means going down again......ahhh.....
all bands are just a canvas for this man
charleys song from the canyon he really misses those good old times
I'm also a musician on the side. Wanna grow old like Neil.
Neil´s Paloma Bianca... :-))) Great
Cool
American Stars n Bars is such an overlooked LP in his career. It's as good as any of his 70s output. WHile I'm at it, waht does Neil have against a re-release of TIme Fades Away? There's a whole bunch of classic numbers there. So what if it's a bit rough around the edges? Ain't that how we like him?
Bob Dylan wouldn't touch Mr. Tambourine man but Neil young? ... Here he is Tip top!
look at that guitar strap!!!!

Fucking right
Promise of the Real seems like a pretty good fit for Neil, but here`s hoping that we don`t have to wait several years for another Crazy Horse LP.

Then your not listening
I may make a hundred and more enemies with this comment ... but I found it hard to enjoy watching this video. Neil looks like a bitter old man - the way he drags both corners of his mouth down just doesn't look nice or inviting. He always had a tendency to do this but now that age caught up with him it looks more negative than before. I wish I would have just heard the song ...
