Neil Young

At the time of the live recording in Central Park on September 29, 2012, Neil Young was riding a wave of renewed artistic vigor, having just released the album 'Americana' a few months prior, in June. This album marked a notable return to his folk roots and was a collection of traditional American songs reimagined through his unique lens, blending nostalgia with modern relevance. Interesting to note, this performance was part of the inaugural Global Citizen Festival, aligning with Young's ongoing commitment to social and environmental issues, which have long been integral to his music and persona. Fans could feel the passion in his performance, with moments of strikingly honest storytelling and powerful guitar riffs, reflecting a career that has continually evolved while staying true to its core values.
