Neil Young sings "Heart of Gold" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
Neil Young is a co-founder and board member of Farm Aid, along with Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

My Dad was aggravated by my playing guitar for years , and then came a time when I would be playing guitar and singing and he would say play "Heart of Gold". I miss him very much , and I played this video tonight (new years eve 2010) for my Dad. ..............................
