Neil Young

In 2015, when Neil Young performed "Long May You Run" in Milwaukee, he was riding high on the wave of creativity with his album "The Monsanto Years," released earlier that same year. This record marks a pivotal moment in Young's career, showcasing not just his signature acoustic style but also his vocal activism, addressing environmental issues and corporate farming. The Milwaukee concert was particularly special as it was the first show of his tour with Promise of the Real, a band known for its invigorating musicianship and energy. Young’s connection with the audience during these live shows is electric, and it’s fascinating how he can weave personal reflection into broader societal narratives. Plus, this performance provides a reminder of Young's enduring relevance in the music scene, as he continues to inspire new generations while staying true to his roots.
