Neil Young - Way Down in the Rust Bucket


I have been streaming this new release quite a bit this past week, and it just gets better with each listen.
First of all, the performances are top notch. Neil and Crazy Horse are in fine form. No wasted notes, just great guitar jams. Second, but no less important, the sound quality is fantastic. I’m streaming from Qobuz in 24/192 and it sounds great.
As for the era, I own Ragged Glory but have never considered it my favorite era of theirs. This show is from that tour, and now that I’m hearing this show I really wish I had seen them on this tour. They are every bit as tight as any of the 70’s era live stuff I have heard.
I am considering the vinyl/DVD box set.  Have any of you purchased this one?  I'm curious to know the quality of the vinyl.  
Enjoy!

Thanks for mentioning this, I’ll listen to some soon.

Donna and I have seen Neil live several times, with various configurations of musicians, the best was way uptown at Reverend Ike’s United Palace.

I especially loved the sound of a black guitar he was playing, Donna said the review next day mentioned he played it for the first time in many years, Awesome!

"In 1967, Rev. Ike’s ministry purchased and restored the “Palace Cathedral” aka “United Palace”, the fourth largest theatre in Manhattan located at the corner of Broadway and 175th Street. The facility was built in 1927 as one of the five Loew’s “Wonder Theatres” across the boroughs and New Jersey and designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb (Cort Theatre, the former Ziegfeld Theatre) with interiors overseen by decorative specialist Harold Rambusch (Waldorf Astoria, Radio City Music Hall). It was one of the region’s premier vaudeville and movie houses."

Some Crazy Horse, like some Bob Dylan, like some Band, can be called ’unlistenable’

However, Donna and I found this movie a real treat, the history and their attitude is revealed, and like some late Miles Davis, when you know more about it, you ’get’ it.

My copy is enroute. I am excited for this release. Don't spook the Horse!

Happy Listening!
Can't stand his politics but love his guitar licks. An extremely underrated axe man.
