Neil Young

In the lead-up to the live performance at Farm Aid 30 on September 19, 2016, Neil Young had recently released the album 'The Monsanto Years' in 2015. This album, rooted in Young's passionate criticism of corporate agriculture, marked a vibrant chapter in his career focused on advocacy and activism. Performing with Promise of the Real, who supported him during this period, Young brought an energetic, collaborative spirit to the stage. Notably, his song 'Love and Only Love' reflects his signature blend of rock and poignant social commentary. With Farm Aid's legacy celebrating farmers and sustainable agriculture, this performance resonated deeply, as Young, one of its co-founders, leveraged music to elevate critical issues. His ongoing commitment to social causes, coupled with his evolving sound, made this concert both a musical and a political statement.
