Neil Young - Don't Let it Bring You Down (Live at Farm Aid 2004)

Neil Young performs "Don't Let it Bring You Down" at the Farm Aid concert in Seattle, Washington on September 18, 2004.
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?

How can he still sing so high? I've lost my upper register with age as most people do -- Neil is magic. This is one of his best songs IMHO. Sounds like he's lowered the open tuning to a double C?

[@wax7550]

That's always been his voice while singing, he doesn't stress to do it. I don't know anything about singing, but maybe some people just have it built in. It always seemed since I was a kid that it was just so natural to him. He wasn't trying that's just what it was

[@evaemmen9965]

It is a tone lower key than he did before. But still brilliant.

[@TheStuport]

Since I was a small pup....I have always thought of Mr. Young whenever I heard or read the word DEDICATION....Seems like a perfect fit.

[@tejasmathad1247]

What a human being.

Mesmerizing. Absolutely mesmerizing.

This song is dear to my heart

One of Neil’s very best of the best ..

[@homegrownpa]

This was one of the first songs of Neil's that blew me away, from the BBC 1971 concert version. I think the first was Little Wing, from Hawks and Doves, that just connected with me then, as a young lost soul, and still now it means something, if nothing else does!

[@joeybenoit6269]

Neil's guitar sounds like a giant redwood tree! Tall and ominous!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

I love this song.

Neil always brings tears to my eyes, both from the true person he is and the impeccably beautiful music he makes. I'd love to meet that man, let alone split a pitcher of beer with him.

[@janey0513]

Sweet smooth calming reassuring, a true living legend! Listening to Neil restores my faith in humanity. Don't see much these days. Long live Neil. ☮️💟🌟

[@JulieRobus-s9z]

Love this...

[@johnnyfeever3898]

I like this acoustic live version and moreso because it's actually for a purpose-driven org.

[@wax7550]

It's crazy how I'd listen to this beside the 1971 BBC version. There are not many musicians who I'd listen to a version so many years newer and love as much as

[@joninwakey4099]

As we are maturing with this song, it always gets better - like a good cheese. - and wine of course

[@jamesmorrison2063]

Wow! he's tuned down 2 steps and dropped "D" which is Bb.

[@Fotosaurus56]

I was in high school when this came out on "Four Way Street" and this song still inspires. Long may you run.

[@tomformanek3312]

Actually it was issued 7 months earlier as a studio track on After The Gold Rush.

[@Fotosaurus56]

@@tomformanek3312 I've always preferred the live version.

[@tomformanek3312]

@@Fotosaurus56 Which is fine. I preferred the Crazy Horse version as the entire album blew me away.

[@joegrimm9629]

chris dougherty Leonard cohen is better than both of them

[@avtobus1234]

there is no thing like "better" or "worse" when it comes to such great poets as Dylan, Cohen and Neil Young.

[@wayneschlegel1340]

You US-americans are bred to compare and rate things to such an extend that you can´t help but rating everything you see and hear. Done that, you believe you´ve grasp the crucial point of things. Brainwashed so bad that you don´t even recognise these patterns are what your entertaining figure is standing against.
