Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit concert was held over the weekend, with the likes of Arcade Fire and more performing live for the cause.
One of the highlights of the 8-hour song, however, came during Arcade Fire’s set – when Win Butler explained that he wrote a new song in his sleep, waking up to realise that it was basically a rip-off of a Neil Young song.
The logical conclusion, then, was for Neil Young to perform it live with them. You can watch that below, along with the entire live-stream of the concert in full.
