Neil Young

In September 2000, Neil Young performed "Cowgirl in the Sand" at the Farm Aid concert held in Bristow, Virginia. This performance took place during a period when Young was actively involved in advocating for family farmers and sustainable agriculture, reflecting the mission of Farm Aid, an organization he co-founded in 1985. Prior to this live recording, Young released the album "Silver & Gold" in 2000, an effort that continued his exploration of Americana and folk-influenced rock. The live performance not only showcased his classic songwriting but also highlighted his ongoing commitment to social issues, blending his music career with activism. Notably, Young's involvement in Farm Aid underscores his longstanding dedication to supporting agricultural communities and promoting awareness around rural issues.
