Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording: Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)," a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Side 2 demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with the scathing political songs "Powderfinger," "Welfare Mothers," and the loud reprise of "My, My, Hey, Hey." --Steve Knopper

This is the sound of someone adapting to modern times. In the tradition of Dylan, Neil Young persues the half acoustic, half rock album. The songs foremost deal with change and transition into a new era of music. "Sedan Delivery" and "Welfare Mother" and nearly the rest of the second half have a raw sound that mimics the rough sound of punk. However, I feel the acoustic tracks are the treat. "My, My, Hey, Hey" is the reaction to the new puck scene and other songs such as "Thrasher" are very surrealist that recall a sense of nostalgia as they do for fans who liken more to his folk period. But the ablum closes with a bang. In my humble opinion this is his greatest album, but by no means is it his last great one.

If you like Neil, this is one of his best, hands down. Star Wars roadies, huge speaker setups, classic songs both acoustic and electric. Probably the pinnacle of Rock & Roll. Buy this immediately if your a Neil fan. 5 STARS!!

Probably my favorite Neil Young album,yet I only listen to the first six song's.Rust Never Sleeps really showcases Young as a truly talented all around musician,songwriting,crisp,clean acoustic guitar,Neil's unique singing and harmonica(Neil Young plays harmonica like nobody's business.)Listening to the original vinyl,I purchased when it was first released,I never realized this was a live album with the audience dubbed out,until recently.As I recall this was some sort of a comeback tour for Young and it was a good one,and I also remember the acoustic version of Hey Hey My My alway's constantly playing on the radio at the time,never did like the hard rock version. Nothing special about this Warner cd,just a good Neil Young and Crazy Horse recording,Rust ... Read More:

It may be an exaggeration to say that Rust Never Sleeps saved my life, but it certainly lifted me out of a pit of despair in 1979. I was 23, living 200 miles from friends and family (i.e., lonelier than I thought I would ever be), and working for a moron.
The real irony of getting hooked on Rust Never Sleeps is that in college I hated Neil Young because I had been a HUGE fan of Crosby, Stills, & Nash (never mentioning "Young" in the group's name), and had thought of Neil Young as the guy that destroyed that super-group and also Buffalo Springfield. Sort of like Yoko did for the Beatles, except that Neil did it twice.
But one Sunday evening in the summer of 1979, a syndicated radio program played an interview with Neil ... Read More:
