Neil Young - Down By The River (Live at Farm Aid 25)

From DirecTV's broadcast of Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America, Neil Young performs "Down by the River" at Miller Park in Milwaukee on October 2, 2010. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers.


Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?

I dont know how you can possibly dislike this - but I guess to each their own - this is just "raw" and pure - thank you Neil for the tireless effort and dedication to music - I hope someday to work with you and making the changes in the world for the betterment of all of us

Neil and Old Black. It doesn't get any more legendary!

[Brigglz]

I saw him doing a - believe it or not - 23 minute version of this great song in munich two years ago, it was the best day of my life !

[tourdeforce]

Though I prefer it when there's a whole band and Neil's rockin it with his multi-minute solos, this version is hauntingly beautiful.

0 people dislike Neil Young!

[reactor]

Awesome brother. Neil Young is a National Treasure. We don't know what we got till it's gone.

[kujo]

Neil Young without music isn`t Neil Young. I love Neil Young and his poetry, seldom voice and strange guitar playing. He was a heartbreaker, very cool and sensible.

[jmack]

This is such a gritty stripped down version of this fucking love everything about

[psychedeliccarrie]

Neil Young's Le Noise era is unmatched.

[maddogwally]

It took alot of guts for Neil to do this show! God love him..

[kahramanbh]

[AdamFreeman]

Damn. More feeling in his little finger than most performers could ever hope for.

[Imissthepostoffice]

He looks like how I feel I look, when I run up to the liquor store for additional wine that I had not allotted for, on those rare days when the shower is put off until way later. I love Neil Young.
Excellent songwriter. My favorite ~ Wrecking Ball, and secondly, Sugar Mountain. The words are so nicely put.
