Thanks to DirectTV, I was able to watch several hours of Farm Aid this weekend (commercial free...and it's being replayed constantly).
The highlight was Neil Young's performance of "A Day in the Life." Full band version, with crescendos and ending with Neil coaxing feedback from his standing guitar and then some drones from the vibes before he left the stage. Excellent performance from Neil. Sounded like something from Live Rust.

I am fascinated by Neil's choice of that song but I liked what I saw on the recently floated YouTube video from a different performance of the song.
I rewatched recently Neil's performance of Imagine on A Salute To Heroes and he was great there, being very faithful to John's version yet at the same time injecting Young's own passion into it.
