Neil Young in Israel

Well, not quite. But Geva Alon & The Flying Baby do a great cover of "Keep on Rocking in the Free World" in Tel Aviv on November 11, 2008.

Here is Geva Alon also doing an excellent cover of My My Hey Hey on April 7, 2008 at Esperanto Cafe, NYC.

Neil Young in Hungarian

This is an excellent cover (and in Hungarian no less) of Pocahontas at the Hétrétország Festival 2005. I couldn't figure out what the band's name was or other information from Youtube, but Youtube lists the title of the song as NYS - Merített dal /Pocahontas, and the tags list the following words which may or may not be the band members: Huzella Rátóti Tóth Sülyi Sétány. Anyways, if you follow the link on the page, and find the English link, you get to a page with the following information: Neil Young Sétány (Neil Young Walkway) is the invention of a Hungarian coach of four': Peter Sülyi - the famous lyricist with the Hungarian rock group Omega - has translated Neil Young's songs into Hungarian, and three good friends perform them: Peter Huzella, who started in the Kalaka ensemble, Zoltan Rátóti, who -after several theatres - now plays in the Hungarian National Theatre, and Istvan Tóth, the founder of the Hetret ensemble. Awesome!



Here they are performing My My, Hey Hey at the Hétrétország Festival. These guys truly rock! It's funny, they don't translate "hey hey, my my" into Hungarian, I gues those don't really count as English words (same with "rock and roll" which makes more sense at least).

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings cover Neil Young

This is Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings doing a great version of Pocahontas. Don't know where it was, the clip just says "live".



Here is another clip from them, of one of my all-time favorite Neil Young songs, Country Girl. This was from a live performance at The Basement in Nashville, TN, in March, 2007. This is also a very good cover, although the video quality is not great.
