Neil Young presented on Saturday, along with Norah Jones and Father John Misty, a charity concert at Harvest Moon: A Gathering, in Lake Hughes, CA, for the Bridge School and Painted Turtle, a summer camp for seriously ill children. His acoustic ensemble of 14 songs included classics such as "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold", as well as new compositions such as "Rainbow of Colors" and "Eternity", but the most memorable moment came at the end when he played the Tonight is evening Air New Mama for the first time since 1977:
"All these places start with the kids," he said before playing the song. "Children are getting there and families are slowly realizing how real it is and realizing that they have nowhere to go." Then they find a place like this and a place like the bridge school. That's why it's so important because it's all about children and their eyes watching you.
Young wrote "New Mama" shortly after the birth of his son Zeke in September 1972. He played throughout 1973 The weather fades and Tonight is evening he only resurfaced when he invited Stephen Stills in an isolated concert in 1975, and then on August 12, 1977, when he joined David Crosby and Graham Nash at the United Farms Workers Benefit at the Civic Auditorium of Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz, California.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse release the new album Colorado October 25, but they will not be on the road until at least next year. Young's latest show will be Farm Aid in East Troy, Wisconsin, on September 21, and a warm-up show with Promise of the Real in Indianapolis, Indiana, two days earlier.
