Neil Young surprised fans at a recent concert by reviving a series of seldom-heard tracks — including one song that hadn’t been performed in over 40 years.

On May 23, Young headlined a benefit concert at Lakefield College School in Ontario, marking his first complete solo set of 2024. The evening was filled with deep cuts from his catalog, featuring material not heard live in decades.

Among the most notable moments was the return of “My Boy,” a heartfelt tribute to his eldest son, Zeke. Young picked up a banjo for the touching performance, delivering emotional lyrics like: “Why are you growin’ up so fast, my boy? / Oh, you’d better take your time…” — a track he hadn’t played since 1983.

The setlist also included other rare gems, such as “Love/Art Blues,” which made its first live appearance since 2008, and “Name Of Love,” a lesser-known Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song last performed over a decade ago.
