NEIL YOUNG + PROMISE OF THE REAL : FARM AID 2019 |
|
Label : no label Venue : Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wisconsin, USA Recording Date : September 21, 2019 Length : 45 minutes NTSC : 16:9 Concert review (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) : Sets fell behind schedule all day, but the delay was significant for Neil Young, who took the stage with Lukas Nelson's band Promise of the Real 52 minutes later than planned. Young also was the most talkative of Farm Aid's performers, but the crowd appreciated Young speaking about their issues, as he talked of family farmers rejuvenating the Earth and encouraged shoppers to buy from farmers markets and avoid processed foods from big-box stores, and the farmers embraced the message and chorus of "Homegrown." And "Rockin' in the Free World" was Farm Aid's finest moment - guitar-blazing, drums-pummeling, face-melting chaos, as good rock should be - led by a snarling, screaming Young, with visceral shredding to match. |
