Short on tracks but long on stage time (as per usual for Young and his Crazy Horse cohort), this live set from the seventh Farm Aid benefit, held at the Louisiana Superdome in September 1994, includes a sprawling, distortion-filled "Down by the River," a cover of "All Along the Watchtower" with Willie Nelson, a few late-era tracks ("Country Home" and "Farmer John") from 1990's Ragged Glory, and "Change Your Mind" from 1994's Sleeps with Angels (influenced in part by Kurt Cobain's suicide). Diehards may be disappointed though, as a few songs from the set are not included: "Home Grown" (the title track from the unreleased 1974 country-rock album of the same name) and the snotty "Piece of Crap" (also from Sleeps with Angels). Still, Young, who was almost 50 at the time, is in fine form here. This was the era when Young was in the midst of enjoying a mainstream resurgence as the "godfather of grunge" -- with his penchant for crunchy and distorted guitar solos -- and the performance serves as an apt snapshot of music history and Young's legacy. ~ Neil Z.
