Back in 2010, Garth Hudson produced an all-Canadian tribute album which honors the Band. The album features Neil Young with The Sadies on "This Wheel's on Fire".

Canadian Celebration of the Band

Hudson says of the Young/Sadies collaboration:

"It all came together very easily.

I was privileged to watch Neil with Mr. Bob Young backstage in Toronto and London; the concerts in London and Toronto were amazing. And Neil's equipment is not the type you expect, it's not the usual. His amplifiers are very special, a combination of old and new technology. 

It's an amazing sound, a sound you can't get with digital electronics and digital gear."
