He decided to film their 2006 tour and used footage from ABC reporter Mike Cerre of Sausalito, who had been imbedded in Iraq.
"Out of meeting Mike, I said we were goin' on the road to take this music out and we want to see what happens. How would you like to come along and imbed in the tour? It's emotional, you know, because we're living the songs. We're singing about this and we're seeing people crying in the audience," says Young.

Neil remains hopeful. Change is coming he says.
"I really feel optimistic about the future."
