Neil Young, 2010’s MusiCares Person of the Year, celebrated his 64th birthday yesterday and as a one day-belated present to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, we’re dedicating this week’s Flashback to the Harvest man. In this September 1969 performance from the short-lived ABC series Music Scene, Young is flanked by Crosby, Stills and Nash for a truncated-but-rocking version of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere’s “Down By the River.”
