Noise & Flowers documents a 9-date tour that began just two weeks after Neil Young's lifetime friend and manager of more than 50 years, Elliot Roberts, passed away at the age of 76.

Neil Young performs at Farm Aid 2014 in Raleigh, North Carolina, on September 13, 2014. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers.
