Debut of New Material

During the concert, Young debuted an original song titled “Let’s Roll Again.” This performance featured the lengthy, unreleased track “The Ordinary Man,” which had not been played live in over 36 years. Originally recorded during the sessions for his 1989 album Freedom, this song was omitted from the final release and later included in Chrome Dreams II in 2007.

Upcoming World Tour and Band Formation

Young’s performance serves as a prelude to his anticipated world tour with the newly formed band, Chrome Hearts. Although details of their debut project remain undisclosed, “Let’s Roll Again” represents their first new material.

Collaboration with Stephen Stills

In a special moment during the concert, Young reunited with longtime collaborator Stephen Stills. The duo played several classics, including the protest anthem “For What It’s Worth” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.” They were also joined by Nathaniel Rateliff for a rendition of “Colorado,” a track originally released by Stills’ band Manassas in 1972.

Recent Political Engagements

This concert followed Young’s recent engagements in political activism. Earlier in April, he performed at the Fighting Oligarchy Rally, alongside Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers, at a political event hosted by Senators Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Los Angeles. Young’s contributions included a performance of Rockin’ in the Free World, emphasizing themes of grassroots political reform.

During this rally, he began with “Rainbow of Colors,” a song from his 2019 album Colorado, and featured a collaborative moment with Baez and Rogers, emphasizing the powerful chorus “Power to the People.”
