Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0766481224341 Format: Live Label: Reprise / Wea Manufacturer: Reprise / Wea MPN: 2295 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Reprise / Wea Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Reprise / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)," a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Side 2 demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with the scathing political songs "Powderfinger," "Welfare Mothers," and the loud reprise of "My, My, Hey, Hey." --Steve Knopper Average Rating:
 Rating: - One of the best albums EVER!!If you like Neil, this is one of his best, hands down. Star Wars roadies, huge speaker setups, classic songs both acoustic and electric. Probably the pinnacle of Rock & Roll. Buy this immediately if your a Neil fan. 5 STARS!!

I was 23, living 200 miles from friends and family (i.e., lonelier than I thought I would ever be), and working for a moron. The real irony of getting hooked on Rust Never Sleeps is that in college I hated Neil Young because I had been a HUGE fan of Crosby, Stills, & Nash (never mentioning "Young" in the group's name), and had thought of Neil Young as the ... Read More Rating: - Guitar geniousA few years ago, a local rock station had a contest to name the worst rock guitarist in history. Neil Young won this dubious honor. I realize he is no technical virtuoso, but what Neil does do with guitar is create powerful sounds and moods - especially when paired with Crazy Horse, the guitar work is stirring and overpowering. In Powderfinger and My My Hey Hey, the guitar work explodes off the disc and makes you want to stand up and shout and sing. I love this album and hope this worst guitarist ... Read More |
