Neil Young

In 1993, Neil Young was enjoying one of the more dynamic phases of his career, having just released the album "Harvest Moon" in 1992, a poignant follow-up to his iconic "Harvest" album from the early '70s. This live performance of "Helpless" during Farm Aid VI at Cyclone Stadium in Ames, Iowa, showcases his enduring ability to connect with audiences. Not only is this event significant for its charitable cause—supporting struggling American farmers—but it also reflects Young's long-standing commitment to social issues through music. Interestingly, "Helpless" was originally featured on his 1970 album "Deja Vu" with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, making this performance a nostalgic nod to his roots, resonating deeply with fans who have followed his journey across decades.
