Summary: Smokin' Rust!
Comment: This is Neil at his absolute best! He always gave great concerts, and this...is exceptional!
Customer Rating:
Summary: I Don't Need To Buy A Turntable...
Comment: I cannot believe that anyone would care about a few notes that are missing from an otherwise great CD. The purpose of music is to entertain. If anyone can tell me they were entertained by Revolution #9 from The Beatles White Album, please write a comment. If a record company decides to make some great music more affordable with edits, this is fine with me. Does anybody realize that some of the songs on Forty Licks by The Rolling Stones were edited so they could call it Forty Licks on their Fortieth Anniversary? Does anybody care? They got all the great songs on the CD and if someone wants the unedited tracks, buy the original albums on any format that you find listenable. Vinyl is no longer state of the art.

Summary: Cortez not the only edit
Comment: After reading Garbageman's review, I have to concur: "Live Rust" is a corporate hack job. Not only is "Cortez the Killer" edited, so is the version of "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)", at first I thought I was hearing things, but no, I also have the vinyl, and the song is full length on that. The irritating thing about this is that when Reprise marketed this CD, 74 minutes was the most a disc could theoretically hold. Since this disc runs 74:31, and they now run 80 minutes or more, (and have since the mid-90s), why wasn't this remastered with the intact songs YEARS AGO??? I have been waiting over ten years for a newly mastered CD of what I previously thought was the single-greatest live concert recording ever, Bar None. I guess I'll die before they decide to do this disc over. Neil, are you listening?

Summary: By no means brilliant, but very entertaining
Comment: Sure, if you've heard the studio versions of these songs you know exactly what to expect. So what? It's still a lot of fun. This is divided into an acoustic and an electric half, much like Neil's career in general (damn I'm good!), and while there are a few minor disappointments (by-numbers "Cinnamon Girl" and "Needle and the Damage Done"; an arena-rock "Like a Hurricane"; a joke, faux-reggae ending of "Cortez the Killer"), it's impossible not to rock out to the electric half (which includes my favorite take on "The Loner" and the classic "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)"), or mellow out the acoustic half (which features his rare single "Sugar Mountain"; an acoustic "Comes a Time" that fits the song much better - no stupid fiddle! YES!!!; the Buffalo Springfield tune "I Am a Child" and "My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)"). And the loose, rambling closer "Tonight's the Night" is given more chilling power. Good album, in other words.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not ruly fond of Neill but love Crazy Horse work
Comment: Frank Sampedro is excellent and I love "Like a Hurricane" but Neil Young is way too political for my taste. Otherwise,this is a fine live set.

Editorial Reviews:

Mere months passed between the release of Neil Young's mid-career milestone Rust Never Sleeps and this 1979 tour recording, which documents a late-'78 San Francisco performance. Indeed, Live Rust boasts four songs from the album that gave it its name. It's also sequenced in the same spirit as its studio sibling. As with Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust opens with steady-flowing acoustic numbers before swirling into an electric vortex. What was side 4 off the original two-record version--"Like a Hurricane," "Hey, Hey, My, My," and "Tonight's the Night"--is arguably Young and Crazy Horse at their peak as a live unit, with all due respect to 1991's estimable Weld and 1997's desultory Year of the Horse. Few rock bands rank with Young and his stalwart electric trio, and Live Rust presents them in all their raging glory. --Steven Stolder
