Neil Young

In 1999, Neil Young performed "Daddy Went Walkin'" at the Farm Aid concert held in Bristow, Virginia. This performance came just after the release of his album "Silver & Gold," which was launched in 2000, showcasing his introspective songwriting and signature blend of rock and folk. The late '90s marked a fascinating period for Young, as he was actively involved in social issues, particularly those related to agriculture and sustainable farming, which aligned perfectly with the Farm Aid mission. This live recording not only highlights his persistent relevance in music but also his deep commitment to supporting family farmers, reflecting his belief in the power of music as a means of activism. Young's raw performance style at this event and his heartfelt lyrics resonate with audiences, making the moment all the more impactful.
