Barenaked Ladies

At the time of their live performance at Farm Aid on September 17, 2000, Barenaked Ladies had recently released their album "Maroon" just a year earlier. This album debuted in 1999 and featured hits like "It's All Been Done" and "Pinch Me," showcasing the band's unique blend of humor and heartfelt lyricism. The live set they delivered was a tribute to their energetic style, with the cover song medley highlighting their fun-loving spirit and musical versatility. Interestingly, the Farm Aid concert, started by legends like Willie Nelson, became a platform not just for music, but also for raising awareness about family farms, aligning perfectly with the band’s ethos of community and connection. Their presence at such a significant event illustrates their commitment to using music as a vehicle for social change, making this performance memorable not just for the audience, but for the band's legacy.
