Neil Young

In October 2015, Neil Young delivered a mesmerizing performance at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, California, alongside his band, The Promise of the Real. This live recording features 'Words' seamlessly flowing into 'Alabama,' showcasing Young's signature blend of poignant lyrics and raw emotion. Just prior to this performance, he had released the album 'The Monsanto Years' in June of the same year, which tackled critical issues around environmental sustainability and corporate influence in agriculture. What's fascinating about this period in his career is that Young, in his late seventies, was still deeply engaged with activism, reflecting his unwavering commitment to social causes through his music. These themes resonate strongly in the live performance, offering audiences not just music, but a call to action, reminding us of the power of art to inspire change.
