Neil Young played a benefit concert on Saturday September 27 to raise funds for Bold Nebraska, the Indigenous Environmental Network and the Cowboy & Indian Alliance.
The concert took place at Tanderup Farm, Neligh, Nebraska, on the route of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. The project would bring diluted bitumen from Alberta to refineries in the Gulf Coast and cross land sacred to the First Nations people.
Willie Nelson also performed. Young – who played acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pump organ, harmonica, vocals – was backed by a band consisting of Lukas Nelson (electric guitar), Anthony LoGerfo (drums, vocals), Tato Melgar (percussion), Corey McCormick (bass) and Micah Nelson (electric guitar).
Among the 10 song set, Young played were “This Is Your Land” with Willie Nelson, and his new song, “Who’s Gonna Stand Up?”.
