Neil Young

In 2011, when Neil Young performed "Long May You Run" live at Farm Aid, he was riding high on the success of his album "Le Noise," which had been released just the previous year. This album marked a stylistic shift for Young, featuring a more stripped-down, raw sound characterized by electric guitar and minimal production, allowing his voice to shine through in a deeply personal way. It was also a poignant time for his career, as Farm Aid has deep roots in his commitment to supporting family farmers and sustainability—a cause close to his heart. Plus, performing at such a heartfelt event not only showcases his musical prowess but also his dedication to social issues. The energy at the Livestrong Sporting Park must have been electric, with Young's powerful performance resonating with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
