Neil Young at Farm Aid 2004

[TimmyB]

Hey everybody I was unable to attend this years Farm Aid as it was in Seattle, Washington, breaking a 6 year Farm Aid streak for me. Of course Neil Young pulls out four classic tunes I have yet to see live. "Journey Through The Past," "On The Way Home," "Birds" and "Human Highway." Though I hope this show, much like the one he performed in Berkeley on September 15 is just a taste of what is to possibly come next year. Touring a rock opera of "After The Gold Rush" perhaps?

Ian & Sylvia's original version may be the best Canadian folk song ever written. I love Neil's version too.
