Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Neil Young actually performed the show that would become rust live prior to the release of his ground breaking Rust Never Sleeps album. He had released the quieter comes a time and the album opens up in that vein as the first nine or so songs are in the acoustic vein.

The album opens up with the incredible "Sugar Mountain" and then moves into the Buffalo Springfield chestnut, "I Am A Child".

When the band cranks up the volume, the show takes on a primal fury. "Like A Hurricane" is searing, "Cinnamon Girl" explodes like a powder keg, "Cortez The Killer" is a droning swirl of guitars and "Tonight's The Night" is soaring elegy.

Neil Young has released numerous live albums and Live Rust ranks right up at the top.
