Neil Young Performs Pocahontas Live at Farm Aid in Seattle
In September 2004, during the Farm Aid concert at the White River Amphitheatre, Neil Young delivered a stirring live rendition of "Pocahontas." This performance came right after the release of his studio album "Greendale" earlier that year, a unique concept album that explored themes of family and community amidst social and environmental issues. Young, known for his activism, used this event to emphasize the importance of supporting local farmers and addressing agricultural struggles in America. Interestingly, his song "Pocahontas" serves as a poignant reflection on Indigenous themes, which resonates deeply with his ongoing commitment to social justice and environmental causes. This live performance not only showcased Young's musical prowess but also highlighted his role as a voice for significant societal issues.
