Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse

This is a strange album. It's live but not all the time, and seems to be overdubbed with studio recording. The live element adds essentially nothing. There are occasionally faint crowd noises that can be heard, such as when he sings "Rock and Roll will never die", but that's about it. I'm spoiled with some of the other outstanding live albums we've heard. The music itself is pretty good. I'm so-so on Neil Young. I don't love his voice, but I like the music and the lyrics a lot. "My My, Hey Hey" is a famous song. I like it! "It's better to burn out than fade away" is a very famous line, which I'd heard before in media about Kurt Cobain's suicide. It's odd to hear the crowd reacting to that section , but then never really hear them again. "Welfare Mothers" is the first song that got me going. The electric section of the album is pretty tight, the acoustic opening section is a little sleepy for me. "Sedan Delivery" is also a jam. 7/10
