Neil Young

In 2004, Neil Young was riding a wave of creativity and activism, especially as he performed at the Farm Aid concert in Auburn, Washington. Just prior to this live recording, he released his album 'Greendale' in 2003, which showcased a narrative style and thematic depth that was quite distinctive even for him. The album was both a commentary on contemporary issues and a reflection of his long-standing connection to social justice, echoing the spirit of the Farm Aid mission. During this time, Young was increasingly vocal about environmental and agricultural concerns, engaging audiences not just with music but with a poignant message. His performance of 'Don't Let it Bring You Down' resonated deeply, conveying a raw emotional weight that mirrored his personal and artistic journey amidst the backdrop of a significant cause.
