Neil Young and Stephen Stills Reunite for a Heartfelt Charity Concert in LA

Experience the unforgettable reunion of Neil Young and Stephen Stills at the Light Up The Blues charity event in Los Angeles, filled with music and political commentary.

A Night to Remember at the Greek Theatre

In an electrifying performance at the annual Light Up The Blues charity show, legendary musicians Neil Young and Stephen Stills shared the stage in Los Angeles. The event took place at the iconic Greek Theatre, where the two veterans of rock music showcased their enduring camaraderie.

Stills made a memorable appearance at the conclusion of Young's set, performing alongside his new band, The Chrome Hearts. Together, they rocked the crowd with performances of “Human Highway” from 1978 and the classic “Rockin’ In The Free World,” which served as the night’s emotional closer.

Collaborative Moments and Classic Hits

The reunion didn't stop there! Later that same evening, Young returned the favor during Stills’ set, joining him for a rendition of “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield, the iconic band they both originally played for. This brought the audience back to the roots of their musical journey and left fans reminiscing about their timeless hits.

Political Commentary Takes Center Stage

The night wasn't solely about nostalgia; it also featured Young's poignant reflections on current political issues. His new song, “Let’s Roll Again,” carries powerful lyrics that resonate with today’s societal struggles:

“Come on America / Let’s cover our back / Protect our children… If you’re a fascist / Then get a Tesla / If it’s electric, it doesn’t matter.”

The setlist further included politically charged songs such as “Ordinary People” and “Big Box,” and Young and Stills led the audience in a chant of “take America back” during “Rockin’ In The Free World.”

Star-Studded Event

The Light Up The Blues event was a star-studded affair, featuring performances from other notable artists, including Billy Idol, Cat Power, Nathaniel Rateliff, Rufus Wainwright, and Linda Perry. Each artist brought their own unique flair, making the night a comprehensive celebration of music and philanthropy.

Looking Ahead to Future Tours

Young's recent political activism has been prominent, especially following his participation in a rally organized by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he performed alongside Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers. Excitingly, fans will soon see Young back in the UK and Europe as part of his “Love Earth” world tour with The Chrome Hearts, where he is set to headline at major festivals, including Glastonbury and BST Hyde Park.

However, Young expressed concerns about his ability to re-enter the United States after the European tour. In a recent blog post, he stated:

“That’s right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering the USA…”

These comments underscore the ever-evolving landscape of political discourse and the impact it has on artists today.
