On October 3, 1998, Phish joined forces with Neil Young for an extended sit-in at Farm Aid which also featured a sit-in on “Moonlight in Vermont” from Willie Nelson and late-night bandleader Paul Schaffer. After a few original songs, Young made his first appearance with the band after “Runaway Jim” segued into “Arc” in the first set. Phish and Neil Young then played “Down By The River”, before the guest-filled “Moonlight in Vermont” came next.
Young stayed on for the remainder of the show, joining Phish on renditions of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?”, “Amazing Grace”, and “Uncloudy Day”.
