Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps DVD

Rust Never Sleeps its aphoristic title drawn from an intended advertising slogan was an album of new songs some of them recorded on Neil Young's 1978 concert tour. His strongest collection since Tonight's The Night its obvious antecedent was Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home and as Dylan did Young divided his record into acoustic and electric sides while filling his songs with wildly imaginative imagery. The leadoff track ""My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)"" (repeated in an electric version at album's end as ""Hey. Hey. My My (Into the Black)"" with... slightly altered lyrics) is the most concise and knowing description of the entertainment industry ever written; it was followed by ""Thrasher "" which describes Young's parallel artistic quest in an extended metaphor that also reflected the album's overall theme -- the inevitability of deterioration and the challenge of overcoming it. Young then spent the rest of the album demonstrating that his chief weapons against rusting were his imagination and his daring creating an archetypal album that encapsulated his many styles on a single disc with great songs -- in particualr the remarkable ""Powderfinger"" - unlike any he had written before. Now for the first time ever Sanctuary Records is proud to release the legendary concert movie Rust Never Sleep on DVD. Recorded at San Francisco's Cow Palace in October 1978 the movie documents one of the most remarkable concert performances ever put on film. [show more]
