Neil Young

In 1994, Neil Young was in a vibrant period of creativity, having just released the album 'Sleeps with Angels' earlier that year. This live performance of 'Change Your Mind' at Farm Aid showcases Young’s raw, emotive style and his enduring commitment to social causes, evident in his ongoing participation in the Farm Aid concerts since their inception. Interestingly, 'Sleeps with Angels' had its roots in themes of loss and reflection, possibly influenced by the late Kurt Cobain, a close friend of Young. The 1994 Farm Aid concert was a significant event, not just for showcasing musical talents like Young and the Crazy Horse, but also for highlighting the plight of family farmers. Young's passionate performance here further solidifies his reputation as a crucial voice in both music and activism.
