Neil Young

In August 2011, during Farm Aid, Neil Young delivered a heartfelt performance of "Heart of Gold" at the Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City. Leading up to this live recording, Young had just released the album "Le Noise" in 2010, which showcased his signature blend of folk rock and introspective lyrics. This period saw Young exploring unique sounds and production techniques, collaborating with producer Daniel Lanois. Interestingly, Farm Aid is a cause close to Young's heart, emphasizing support for family farmers in America. His commitment to social issues shines not just in his music but also in his activism, making this performance resonate with his enduring legacy as a musician who marries artistry with advocacy.
