  • Neil Young performs a cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" at the Farm Aid concert in Saratoga Springs, NY on September 21, 2013. 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?

      Ima SuperPerson To be honest, I liked it when I first heard it, but then I was like meh. It's a good cover, good interpretation, but compared to the original, it is shit indeed. Completely different feel to it, Gordon's version really has that amazing spirit, the music flows, etc. here I can feel nothing, the different chord changes Neil used work terrible in this song... no good.

    • @tpowell453
      @tpowell453 Před 7 lety

      Sometimes being me (being a "dick") ain't easy. But I'm afraid it was this time. I love Neil, big time. Always have. But this particular version of Gordon's song sucks ass. You know, we - all of us - just need to start calling a spade a spade, or whatever. Honesty never hurt anyone. I thank you for your view. I don't want people to agree with me - I want them to think for themselves, and not blindly follow others. If I can help with that - I feel like maybe my life here has had some purpose. Thanks and best wishes!

    For Lightfoot fans who have followed the story, Neil's lead guitarist in Crazy Horse suffered a hand injury over the summer, and Neil cancelled a number of performances including those at two big festivals in Ontario. Lightfoot was asked to step in, and did so, and Neil expressed his appreciation to Lightfoot personally. Last night, Neil performed some songs with a few musicians, but not his full band, and he did some songs solo, including Early Mornin' Rain: just Neil, his guitar and harmonica
