Willie Nelson and Neil Young Perform Last of His Kind Live at Farm Aid VI

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

In 1993, Neil Young was riding high on a wave of creativity after the release of his album 'Harvest Moon' just six months prior. This period marked a return to a more acoustic sound, reminiscent of his renowned 'Harvest' album from 1972. 'Last of His Kind,' performed live at Farm Aid VI alongside Willie Nelson, became a poignant reflection of Young's commitment to social and environmental causes, resonating deeply with the event’s goal to support American farmers. Notably, this show highlighted not just a collaboration of legendary artists, but also Young's enduring belief in grassroots activism. The energy of the Farm Aid event, with its focus on community support, perfectly captured the spirit of Young's music, showcasing his ongoing dedication to both art and advocacy.
