Neil Young and Promise of the Real - Cortez the Killer (Live at Farm Aid 2017)

Neil Young and Promise of the Real perform "Cortez the Killer" at Farm Aid 2017 at KeyBank Pavilion in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, on September 16.

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. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

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?

Heard a few Neil young songs before. This song caught my ears just yesterday. Never heard it. And it's the reason why I'm here. Where have I been? Haha

[ledzeppable]

I've been enjoying this song since he did it with Crazy Horse and he's still rocking it, it is my favorite Neal Young song, it's beautifully played and the story is bittersweet

[kathleenmiller]

No one can make a guitar sound so ethereal and other worldly as Neil.😂

This guy is so organic and electric, he's the real deal...love NY

[josephcharbonneau]

I was amazed by the lyrics first time I heard this song and I still am!!! TY. ✌🏾

[swedishrob]

In this song he plays and sings all of the mystery and history around us. This is just magical.

Thank You God for sending this man to all of us who appreciate these majestic brief and fleeting moments. Channeling your gifts through him for all to see what a beautiful place Heaven must be....

[whitneyelizabeth]

We are all passengers on his journey when he plays. And like the musical magician he is, it leads us to witness our own journey. 💗

Mr. Young soothes my old soul I've listened to him since the age of 15. I'm 60 now. A complete sense of calm fills me when I listen to him.

[jillkent]

13 people don’t like this!? Something is wrong with their ears! I would like this a thousand times if I could.

[trojanostar]

My dream Is to see him live, someday, i hope. True legend, cheers to you Neil, from Argentina!

I have seen Neil Young several times while I did not go to Farm Aid I have seen him with Crazy Horse and Booker T and the MG's.... I was not let down on either Occasion... RIP Donald Duck Dunn...
