Neil Young and Steven Stills performed “BlueBird” together at the Light Up the Blues concert Saturday night that benefits Autism Speaks.
The concert was held at the historic Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, Clif. hosted by Kristen and Stephen Stills. They have a son with autism who has become a highly-talented filmmaker.
Chris Stills says his brother is his main inspiration and why he became a producer of the concert.
Jack Black was the emcee for the annual event’s third year in raising awareness and money for the cause.
Also joining the jam were talented artists with autism, such as Nick Guzman.
Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Don Felder, Shawn Colvin, Steve Earle, The White Buffalo and Chris Stills team up for the 3rd Light Up the Blues Concert to benefit Autism Speaks!
The audio to songs performed by Neil Young and Promise of the Real are up on Michael Goldberg’s Blog: “Days of the Crazy Wild” and up on You Tube.
He writes:
“Some of the songs, such as the one that may be called “If I Don’t Know,” is quite good — one of his best in some years. Others are more like political rants that, at least on initial listen, don’t hold up. It’s admirable that Young wants to use the platform he has to deliver political messages, but at times his songs suffer because it seems the message is more important than the song. Also, while GMOs are an issue, they pale besides the horrendous impact of animal agriculture on climate change and out environment and I wish Neil Young would get him to the biggest cause of climate change and focus some of his political energy on it.”
Or is that just too hot a topic for Neil Young to address.
