Arcade Fire performed with Neil Young at Young’s Bridge School Benefit concert on Saturday, October 26.
The band played a full acoustic set at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.
Before they were joined by Young, Win Butler said he had a dream in which he wrote a new song, on awake he realised it sounded like a Neil Young song.
Butler then declared that the song was called “I Dreamed A Neil Young Song”, before inviting Young on stage.
