Neil Young

In 2014, Neil Young delivered a powerful performance of "Rockin' in the Free World" at the Farm Aid concert in Raleigh, NC, a testament to his enduring relevance in the music scene. Leading up to this electrifying live rendition, Young had recently released the album "A Letter Home" in 2014, featuring intimate covers, showcasing his raw artistry. This period marked a notable phase in his career, as he was channeling his classic folk-rock roots while addressing pressing social issues, typical of his style. Not only was he gracing the stage with his signature guitar work, but he was also joined by Lukas Nelson, harmonizing the generational bridge of musical talent. Farm Aid, co-founded by Young, emphasizes his commitment to supporting family farmers. So, this wasn't just another concert; it symbolized his deep connection to both music and social advocacy.
