Neil Young

In 2010, Neil Young performed 'Down By The River' at the Farm Aid 25 concert held at Miller Park in Milwaukee. This performance came after his album 'Le Noise,' released just a year earlier in 2010, which showcased a raw, electrifying sound produced by Daniel Lanois. During this period, Young was deeply engaged in activism, particularly in support of family farmers, a cause he co-founded Farm Aid for alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp back in '85. Known for his passionate delivery and poignant lyrics, Young's performance emphasizes the ongoing struggles of agriculture in America, making it both a musical and emotional highlight of the event. Fans were treated to a powerful rendition that resonates with the themes of resilience and hope—perfectly matching the spirit of Farm Aid's mission.
