Farm Aid 30 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the FirstMerit Bank Pavilion, Northerly Island, Chicago, Illinois; September 19, 2015. Very good audio - ripped from webcast.
Thom Duffy, billboard.com:
Amid [Farm Aid] in 2012 was an awareness of the ongoing threat to the survival of family farmers. The number of small, independent, farms in the country continues to decline, while expenses continues to rise for those trying to make a living off the land.
Backstage, aboard his bio-diesel-fueled tour bus, Willie Nelson sat back at a table and reflected on three decades of Farm Aid’s mission of supporting family farmers. “They know now, after all these years, that we weren’t kidding,” said Nelson, speaking before the annual concert in 2012 in Hershey, Pa. “There really is a serious problem out there.”
Farm Aid on September 19, 2015 marks its 30th anniversary, returning to its Midwestern roots, with a performance in Chicago, at the FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island… Here’s what fans may not know about Farm Aid: Over the past three decades — with the participation of scores of top-name stars — Farm Aid has helped influence a profound shift in the cultural landscape of the country.
The music-rooted organization deserves credit for promoting many of the most important changes in food culture in the United States in recent years: the growth of farmers’ markets, the spread of farm-to-table restaurants, sustainable farming methods and the surge in what’s become known as the Good Food movement. That movement has rejected the food grown on farms owned by corporations instead of families, “factory farms,” says Nelson, that have “polluted the water and the air, making it impossible for rural folks to enjoy their own homes.
