Live Rust

Having somehow survived the 1970s, Neil Young decided to hold himself a little retrospective party with a few thousand of his friends. Side one’s acoustic tunes are nice enough, but when he plugs in and Crazy Horse take the stage, things really get electric. Sides three and four especially: amping up his ode to a spicy woman and hurling waves of feedback at John Lydon uglier than anything ever fired by the Sex Pistols, Young proves beyond a doubt that, even though he didn’t die before he got old, in 1979 he wasn’t ready for the AARP yet.
