Neil Young

In 1998, Neil Young was riding the wave of his illustrious career, having recently released the album 'Broken Arrow' just a year before, in 1996. By the time he took the stage at Farm Aid on October 3, 1998, he was not only a musical legend but also a staunch advocate for farmers and agricultural sustainability. This performance, alongside Phish, was a notable highlight, showcasing Young's timeless ability to blend rock with heartfelt activism. Fans were treated to a unique collaboration, capturing the spirit of camaraderie present at Farm Aid, which aimed to support family farmers in the United States. It’s also fascinating to note how Young’s raw, emotive style can weave seamlessly with Phish's jam band ethos, creating an electrifying atmosphere that's hard to forget.
