As seems tradition for his Farm Aid sets, Young dipped into his revered late-’70s acoustic album “Comes a Time,” bookending his brief set with “Human Highway” and “Four Strong Winds.” Nelson and his longtime harmonica player Mickey Raphael joined for the latter, as well as “Homegrown.” Other highlights included a slowed take on “Everyone Knows This is Nowhere” and “Heart of Gold.” [Billboard]

Fresh off yesterday’s Farm Aid show, Neil Young went ahead and announced some tour dates that include two NYC shows at the United Palace Theater in December. Neil’s tour coincides with a new album called Chrome Dreams II – out October 18th on Reprise Records. According to a press release,

Chrome Dreams II is a stunning collection of eight new and two classic Young songs. Recorded last summer in Northern California, musicians include Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar, dobro and other instruments), Ralph Molina (drums) and Rick Rosas (bass), who will be performing with Young on the tour.
