Neil Young

In 2004, when Neil Young graced the stage at Farm Aid, he had just released his album 'Greendale' a year earlier, in 2003. This record was a unique concept album, threading a story throughout its songs, highlighting Young's storytelling prowess and penchant for social commentary. The live performance of 'Human Highways' showcased not just his incredible talent, but also his enduring commitment to raising awareness for family farms and agricultural issues, a cause central to the Farm Aid mission. Young, with his unmistakable raspy voice and emotive guitar work, has always had a knack for blending personal narrative with broader societal themes, which made this performance especially poignant amidst the picturesque backdrop of the White River Amphitheatre in Washington.
