Would he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/bob-dylan-invisible-onstage-1235423156\/\">hide himself from the audience<\/a> as he\u2019s done at recent Outlaw Music Festival shows or actually take off his hoodie and reveal his face to the crowd? Would he let the screens project his set to the entire stadium or force everyone to squint or break out binoculars? And would he let the livestream share his performance with a global audience online?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tHe wound up wearing the hoodie, though not pulled as tightly around his face as it has been at recent shows, and he agreed to both the projection screens and the livestream. There weren\u2019t closeups, the stage was pretty dark, and much of the stadium audience had a hard time seeing him clearly, but these were major concessions given his history. Very few Never Ending Tour shows have been professionally filmed like this, let alone broadcast on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe set was a truncated version of his Outlaw show featuring \u201cAll Along The Watchtower,\u201d Bo Diddley\u2019s \u201cI Can Tell,\u201d \u201cTo Ramona,\u201d \u201cHighway 61 Revisited\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Think Twice, It\u2019s All Right.\u201d Every single song dates from the Sixties, even the Bo Diddley cover.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maggie&#039;s Farm - Jesse Welles, Margo Price, Billy Strings at Farm Aid 2025\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AmD3pHcd8OY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tUnlike his appearances at Farm Aid in 1985 and 2023, Dylan didn\u2019t do the obvious move and play \u201cMaggie\u2019s Farm.\u201d Earlier in the night, however, Margo Price performed it with Billy Strings and Jesse Welles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tDylan, Billy Strings, Jesse Welles, and Margo Price were part of a stacked Farm Aid bill that also included Kenny Chesney, Waxahatchee, Nathaniel Rateliff &amp; the Night Sweats, Steve Earle, Lukas Nelson, and Wynonna Judd in addition to board members Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Willie Nelson.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neil Young &amp; The Chrome Hearts - Live at Farm Aid 2025\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zqP1h0Q2HA8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tNeil Young came out after Dylan and played a politically-charged set that opened with his anti-Trump screed \u201cBig Crime\u201d before ripping through \u201cRockin\u2019 In The Free World,\u201d \u201cLong Walk Home,\u201d \u201cBe The Rain,\u201d \u201cSouthern Man,\u201d \u201cHey Hey, My My (Into The Black),\u201d and \u201cOld Man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAs always, Willie Nelson closed out the show with a set of classics.
