Neil Young & Crazy Horse Perform Powderfinger Live at Concert

Venue: Austin City Limits Festival Location: Austin, TX, United States Date: October 12, 2012

In October 2012, Neil Young and Crazy Horse performed at the Austin City Limits Festival, delivering a powerful rendition of 'Powderfinger.' This performance came just after the release of their album 'Psychedelic Pill,' which had hit the stores earlier that same month. A fascinating aspect of this period in Young's career is his collaboration with Crazy Horse, a band that's often viewed as an extension of his own musical soul. The live recording showcases the band's raw energy and rock roots, touching upon themes of reflection, resilience, and storytelling that are quintessential to Young's songwriting. Interestingly, 'Powderfinger' itself is a classic song from his 1979 album 'Rust Never Sleeps,' demonstrating how he brilliantly intertwines his past influences with present performances.
