Neil Young

In 2016, Neil Young was riding a fresh wave of creativity with his album "The Monsanto Years," released just a year before this live performance in Leipzig. Collaborating with Promise of the Real, the album takes a bold stance on environmental issues, highlighting Young's commitment to activism and social causes. During the Leipzig concert, where he performed "Mother Nature," Young's passion was palpable, combining a spirit of defiance with a love for nature. This performance took place at the iconic Völkerschlachtdenkmal, a historical monument, adding depth and resonance to his message. Interestingly, Young has often intertwined his music with his activism, making him not just a musician, but a vocal advocate for change—a theme that consistently echoes in his work, especially in live settings like this one.
