Neil Young

In 2013, when Neil Young performed 'Old Man' at Farm Aid, he was riding high on the success of his impressive catalog. Just a year earlier, he released 'Americana,' an album featuring folk classics reimagined in his signature style, making waves with its raw, acoustic vibe. This was also a time when Young was becoming increasingly vocal about his environmental and social advocacy, aligning perfectly with the mission of Farm Aid, which supports family farmers. His performance was not just a nostalgic throwback; it encapsulated the ongoing dialogue about agrarian issues in the U.S. Young's heartfelt delivery and his dedication to causes close to his heart resonate deeply, especially given his storied history with activism. At the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, audiences were treated to an iconic blend of history and purpose, making the moment all the more powerful.
