Rust Never Sleeps

Released in 1979 Rust Never Sleeps is Neil Young's music documentary of his October 22nd, 1978 concert performance at the Cow Palace. It contains only concert footage, half of which is Neil Young solo and acoustic, while the other half is electric and loud featuring of course his long time backing band Crazy Horse. It is credited as being directed by Bernard Shakey which is in fact just a pseudonym of Young (who is looking a very sickly thin at the time of these performances). As well as releasing this Young also put out the acclaimed album Rust Never Sleeps as well as the double LP Live Rust from the same tour. Here I feature clips of the songs After The Goldrush, Thrasher and Cortez The Killer. The first two being very haunting solo performances while Cortez is an extended jam with his full band.
