Neil Young unveiled a new song at Farm Aid’s thirtieth anniversary concert this weekend (September 19). Performing with Promise Of The Real, Young debuted ‘I Won’t Quit’, a tirade against corporate greed and the treatment of farmers and animals.

Taking place in downtown Chicago, at the FirstMerit Bank Pavilion, his set also featured a number of rarities. He performed ‘Alabama’ for the first time since 1973’s Time Fades Away tour, and ‘Western Hero’ for the second time ever, following its inaugural outing at a Voters For Choice benefit in Washington DC on January 14, 1995. See the full setlist and Young and POTR’s set (starting at 7:36:00) below.
