Old Rusty Hippie Loves Neil
The music of this album is a great work of art. Neil Young is one of the most creative people to have ever lived. There are many places where Mr. Young's skill with his guitar are very pleasingly evident. I forgot how good he is. This is also a testament to how pure and sweet his high notes were in his younger days. As I listened to this cd, I realized that he has a tremendous number of melodies that those who know him immediately recognize after three or four notes. And the poetry of his lyrics is astounding. In Cortez the Killer, the line "His subjects gathered round him like leaves around a tree". How beautiful a picture (even if it may have been more a wish than reality). Neil has painted some of the most beautiful and memorable pictures of any musician. There is the negative aspect of his which seems to be the failure of his music when he is preaching. His masterpieces greatly out way his failings, however. I believe that when all is said and done, Neil will shine brightly in the rockey sky.


A must listen
But what is Neil Young's greatest album besides "Harvest"?,I would have to say "Live Rust". Well,You can read my "Harvest" review. It is Neil and back-up band, Crazy Horse at their best. To only say that Neil Young is folksy (without his electric side) is a major fault. Neil Young is both. That's what makes him pure genius. He is top at both. With Crazy Horse,he is at his best with improvised solo guitar riffs weaving within the songs. Amazing!!!!You must buy this CD. These songs are sonic wonders. Neil makes his own direction. Do yourself a favor,enjoy this musical feast of a treat.


One of the best live albums
But if anything, they could of knocked out 'Tonights the night'. Yes, it is a shame they found they needed to edit out some material. . . never did like that song and I always thought the track was a let down to the album ending. Otherwise a brilliant live compilation and recording. Actually always liked Neil Young but for some reason Live Rust was the only Neil Young album I ever bought, but probably among my 10 favorites and most listened to of all time.


JAPAN REMASTERED VERSION AVAILABLE
The surprise was that remastered content appeared for the first time on most of them.
A while back, Warner Brothers Japan re-released 12 Neil Young titles.

The titles & WB-Japan catalog numbers are:

Neil Young WPCR-75086
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere WPCR-75087
After The Gold Rush WPCR-75088
Harvest WPCR-75089
On The Beach WPCR-75090
Tonight's The Night WPCR-75091
Zuma WPCR-75092
Long May You Run WPCR-75093
American Stars n' Bars WPCR-75094
Comes A Time WPCR-75095
Rust Never Sleeps WPCR-75096
Live Rust WPCR-75097

I picked up most of these, A/B'd them, and found them to be superior to the domestics. However, having purchased the domestic 2002 remasters of "Beach" and "Stars n Bars", I declined the Japan versions of those two titles.

Unfortunately, while the Japan version is remastered, Live Rust is not restored to the original LP's running form, and remains still the bastardized version.

If you own the U. S. versions, and you're a NY fan, I would seriously consider replacing them with these.


Smokin' Rust!
This is Neil at his absolute best! He always gave great concerts, and this. . is exceptional!.
