Neil Young

In the fall of 2000, Neil Young graced the stage at Farm Aid with a heartfelt performance of "Daddy Went Walkin'." This live recording, captured on September 17 at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia, reflects a pivotal time in Young's career following the release of his album "Silver & Gold" earlier that year. The album showcases his signature blend of folk rock and poignant storytelling, weaving in themes of loss and longing that are echoed in the lyrical narrative of the live performance. Young's commitment to social issues, especially around family and farming, intertwined with the Farm Aid mission, adds a layer of emotional depth to the moment. It's fascinating to see how his artistry evolves while remaining firmly connected to his roots in activism and heartfelt expression.
