Sunday night, Neil Fest stormed New York Bowery's Ballroom for the first installment of a two-night, star-studded performance focused solely on Neil Young's impressive musical journey. 2015's festival saw classic Young renditions such as a soulful "Old Man" by duo Ryan Adams and Norah Jones, as well as other staples performed by Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner, Black Keys' Patrick Carney, Kim Gordon's Body/Head and Jakob Dylan.

Dressed in a Samhain shirt, Adams put an alternative-country spin on "Cinnamon Girl," with Jones offering backup vocals on the classic Everybody Knows This is Nowhere track. Jakob Dylan boasted a performance of "Southern Man" and "Ohio" as the show came to a close with all Neil Fest participants corralled on stage for a version of "Helpless," Pitchfork reports.
More excitement occurred after the festival celebrating The Monsanto Years singer, as Carney and The Dead Weather's Jack White got into an altercation in a New York City bar. After Carney posted a storm of angered tweets about the head-butting musicians, he deleted his heated words, posting one last tweet each to sum up their ongoing feud.
He is why I play music. The bully a**holes who made me feel like nothing. Music was a private non competitive thing.
