Neil Young and Promise of the Real Perform Cinnamon Girl Live at Farm Aid 2017
In September 2017, Neil Young took the stage at Farm Aid, alongside the band Promise of the Real, delivering a passionate version of "Cinnamon Girl". By this point in his career, Young was fresh off the release of "Peace Trail" (2016), an album highlighting his ongoing commitment to social issues and environmental concerns, something he often weaves into his live performances. Notably, during this time, he was actively involved with Farm Aid, an organization aimed at supporting family farmers, reflecting his deep-rooted values. The energy at the KeyBank Pavilion that night was electric, showcasing not just nostalgia, but an enduring legacy that resonates with fans old and new. Young’s ability to connect through his music is unmatched, making each performance feel profoundly personal.
