Willie Nelson and Neil Young Perform Four Strong Winds Live at Farm Aid VI

Venue: Cyclone Stadium Location: Ames, Iowa, United States Date: April 24, 1993

In 1993, when Neil Young performed "Four Strong Winds" with Willie Nelson at Farm Aid VI, he was riding the waves of his album "Harvest Moon," released just the previous year. This album marked a return to his roots, embracing folk and country vibes, much like the classic sounds that made him famous. It’s interesting to note that Young has always been an advocate for small farmers, so his participation in Farm Aid – a benefit concert aimed at supporting family farms – aligns perfectly with his long-standing commitment to social causes. The chemistry between Young and Nelson during this live performance is palpable, as both are legends in their own right. Moreover, this era in Young's career was marked by a blending of his traditional sound with more contemporary elements, showcasing his versatility and dedication to the music he believes in.
