Early version, pre Stars n Bars release
This guy can write songs and play them on stage in the same day – record companies never had a hope of keeping up. A man with a singular, powerful vision, he’s enticed top players from Springfield onward to execute his madness. Note the psycho sideburns, long even for him, and the not-quite-perfected electric fan that Neil still uses to this day -- but he’s clearly just getting used to it in this Chaplinesque clip. But he sure knows what he’s doing with Old Black – and look how shiny “new” she is!

"Like a Hurricane" is a song written by Neil Young in 1975 and first released on the album American Stars 'N Bars in 1977.
History
The song was written in July 1975 with friend and La Honda neighbor Taylor Phelps in the back of his car, (a DeSoto Suburban), when Neil Young was unable to sing due to an operation on his vocal cords. Driven by Young's trademark fierce guitars, the song has been played on nearly every tour Neil Young has done since. It has also appeared on the compilations Decade and Greatest Hits and on the live albums Live Rust, Weld and Unplugged (this last rendition is played almost entirely on a pump organ).
An edited version of "Like a Hurricane" was released as a single on August 8th 1977, with "Hold Back the Tears" as B-side. [1]
