Neil Young - Harvest Moon (Live at Farm Aid 2004)

Neil Young performs "Harvest Moon" 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?

In 1970, after returning from Vietnam, I married my high school sweetheart! At the time we could only afford a very simple wedding and spend one night at Motel 6. To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary we booked a Caribbean cruise. Unbeknown to us, our four children surprise us with a honeymoon package. After the Capt. renews our vows we dance the night away with Neil Young and Harvest Moon. To say that we had the time of our life for 6 beautiful romantic nights is the understatement of the century!

[@vedder10]

I care. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful memory.

[@kimmorepo6870]

Lucky you and your wife. That is something to aim for us all.

[@DaveLaMont1]

Incredible performance combining intensity with gentleness. Nothing better than Neil alone with a guitar

[@user-dw4ci1ut8j]

This was the song my daughter picked for our father daughter dance, at her wedding. It will be again at my funeral. Thank you Neil. God Bless

[@travisvannoy9916]

I can’t believe this was 18 years ago. I had taken mushrooms with some friends and will never forget when he played this song.

[@rxcapasso]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@jd_jd_jd]

He's singing it like it's the first time he's ever said those werds...it definitely means something to him. Heart-wrenching...lost love, old girlfriend etc. What a gift he has to put into words that spark of recognition that every man (or woman 👍) has once in a while. *esp when looking at the moon...or is it just me😂

[@michaelnicola5210]

A love song for the ages. It never leaves me dry eyed or grateful for the love I have and the loves I've lost. Neil Young's voice has weathered every day, every year of his life, it only gets richer and more meaningful. So deep, so much feeling.

[@donnadaniels1553]

It’s 2021 now, but I rediscovered this song last year from many artists and groups. For some reason here I am in my 70’s and totally immersed in this song. It is so soothing and delightful. And of course he does it best.

[@jd_jd_jd]

❤ it is beautiful...and so are you x

[@hannahsaunders4756]

Me too! I'm 74 & totally impassioned with him & his song 💖💛💝

[@Seb-Oz]

I agree .. %100

[@bigfamilyaffair]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Niel Young!!! These songs Harvest Moon, Hurricane, and Heart of Gold are my absolute favorites in the world!! I saw Neil at the Greek Theater this past July and it was my very first time listening to him live. I was in heaven and my heart was full of love for him. I admit, I got teary-eyed at times but it was the reaction so many people had, I was not alone! If you're reading this, Neil, I love you!

[@Lagunaticmom]

I do hereby decree by no power invested in me...that this song should be played widely and loudly today, Friday September 13, 2019...and every Harvest Moon until the next Friday the 13th with a full harvest moon in 2049. 🌝 🌚 💃🏽 🕺🏼

Neil... you still sound amazing. Thank you for all of your years of music. And thank you for your support of farmers. My dad was a farmer and I was raised on a farm in Northern Calif/Southern Oregon state line. The best way to grow up. Happy memories.

[@ninerscountry7885]

Being a Canadian singer , writer and artist doesn’t hurt!!

[@josephballerini3730]

Interesting to see how he plays live, dropping the cascading harmonics, etc. Smart to change the arrangement for a solo performance.

[@hollyfineworld359]

Legend

[@adamsully7]

This is a real treat to listen and watch this legend perform one of my favorite songs. But Christ is his low E (tuned down to low D) out of tune

[@kennethmeyer7113]

Sounds like it.

[@kellyrn6014]

Man who cares if he's out of tune? He's Neil Young, a musical genius.

[@kimmorepo6870]

Wimps got strings in tune.

[@ONsvintagemusicroom]

Dose who knows the years of the martin？60’s vintage D28？

[@AlexAnder100]

Великолепно!

[@user-ik4fd9ny4b]

70 years old is just around the corner for me... you used to be my hero... But where are you today, Neil? They're closing family farms across the world in the name of global warming. Where is Neil? WHat's that I hear??? Crickets from you... How far you have come since 2004.. 👎

[@paulmurphy8993]

If that guitar could talk. Imagine the stories.
