Neil Young + Promise of the Real - Powderfinger (Live at Farm Aid 2016)

Neil Young + Promise of the Real performs "Powderfinger" at Farm Aid 2016 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, on September 17.

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?

Neil can say more with one guitar note than most can in entire song, he still has that passion.

Got to be in my top 5 Neil Songs. The tone, the story, the passion .

[jhebbes]

Seems like the old boy gets better with on Neil!

[robertwiesler]

Absolutely fantastic
One of the best songs ever written
Neil is a true hero and great songwriter

I like this 2016 version of Powderfinger equally as much as the 1985 version which I just watched again. Good to see younger members playing with the great Neil Young. Their jamming and pure joy starting at 4:00 give this performance more energy. Neil's fingers are electric.

I can't belive how much i love this

[gkitteringham]

Love this song, in all its guises over the years, and still get goosebumps at the sound from that beautiful Gibson Neil plays.

[jacksmith]

His best song . One of the best ever written in his entire music era .

[johnnyenglish]

To play a guitar solo for Neil Young... I could die the next day, and I'd die happy.

[derekbone]

Still one of the best ever written .this man has real soul

[RaiseMoreHell]

Saw the "Rust Never Sleeps" tour at the Cow Place. One of the greatest I ever saw. Good to see Neil's still rockin' it.

[praveenrajgullepalli]

Amazing! Such passion and involvement even now at his age...and that guitar still speaks volumes in a single note! A living legend. Salute Neil!

[allagoon]

Love to see Neil play lead AND rhythm.

[bananaslug]

wow - Neil has lost some weight compared to the European tour - Looks good on him - and makes him physically even stronger. Keep on rockin'... !!!

[philbarrows]

Neil says, “where’s my old LesPaul, and my old ripped shirt”
Proceeds to rock it to the moon...👍🏻🎸🎶

[marlisemariawendt]

I could listen to Neil Young songs for the rest of my life. 💞

[jonnylag]

Fantastic...took me back to Live aid 1985!!! Neil is a living legend....

[AdrianDunevein]

Neil Youngs old Les Paul and Willie Nelsons acoustic guitar are like holy relics

[stewartbalmer]

If i wasa radio presenter this song would be played every hour on the hour

[musicrelic]

Timeless. Unreal version of one of his classics. As hard as it is to imagine this group took it to still another level at Desert Trip! You don't write music to last forever - it lives and if you're doing it right - it lives well!!
