Breaking Down The Tempo of The Beautiful + Young Neil Young | OLD MAN | median expected tempo, video/Live at Massey Hall, frequencies, LEGAL tempo chart

Old man is a song Neil Young wrote and performed for his 1970s album ‘After The Gold Rush.’

I looked the song up on-line, and as for “metrology” (the science of measurement), I saw no good timeline. So I did the measurements and chart.
