Neil Young

In the poignant performance of "This Old Guitar" during Farm Aid 2005, Neil Young was at a significant juncture in his career. Just a year prior, in 2004, he released the album "Greendale," a concept album that explored contemporary issues through the lens of a fictional town—a quintessential example of Young's storytelling prowess. By 2005, he'd dedicated much of his energy to supporting farmers and promoting social causes, leveraging his music for activism. The camaraderie with Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris on stage speaks volumes about the collective spirit of that era. Oh, and let's not forget how Neil’s vintage guitar, which he's fondly referred to as his old friend, adds layers of nostalgia and authenticity to his performances. Overall, this live recording captures both Young's artistry and his commitment to making a difference.
