The midweek concert, held at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, saw the five-piece band boldly express their political frustration through “Big Crime,” a new song that took the 13th slot in the set, positioned after Young’s Crazy Horse co-release and environmental activist prod, “Sun Green.” The band’s boisterous stance against the Trump administration was a commanding moment, emphasized by the lyrics, “There’s big crime in DC at THE White House.”
