Neil Young - Powderfinger Live at Live Aid 1985 in Philadelphia

Venue: John F. Kennedy Stadium Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA Date: July 13, 1985

In July 1985, Neil Young took the stage at Live Aid at the John F. Kennedy Stadium, a remarkable venue where he performed 'Powderfinger' to an audience of 100,000. This performance came just a year after the release of his critically acclaimed album, 'Landing on Water,' which showcased his evolution by incorporating more synthesizers and a dynamic sound. Interestingly, his presence at Live Aid highlighted Young's ongoing relevance in the music scene, even as he navigated changes in his style and audience. It's worth noting that Young's music often touches on social and political themes, and his participation in such a significant charity event underscores his commitment to broader humanitarian issues, allowing fans to see him not just as an artist, but as an advocate for change.
