John Denver and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band perform "Take Me Home, Country Roads" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

I have never heard this before! Dang. This is so good! This is what happens when you merge John Denver, with the awesome Nitty Gritty Dirt Band! Do they have a song I could purchase on Itune? The only complaint is the music that tends to fade away slightly during the song.... I want to see if they have it on itune..9 years ago
