Live At The Fillmore East is a live album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse. It was recorded in March 1970 when he played concerts at the Fillmore in New York to promote the studio album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
Time Fades Away is the first live album to be released by Neil Young. It was recorded in 1973 and he was backed by The Stray Gators.
While Neil Young has issued many live albums since including historic performances from his early days, Time Fades Away is not available for sale. This is because the entire tour has too many bad memories and he’s unhappy with the sound.
However the unavailability of Time Fades Away has given this live album legendary status and many fans are eager to hear the new songs performed on it.
Live Rust is a live album by Neil Young recorded in 1978 and some of the songs were used in the film Rust Never Sleeps.
I get confused with how Live Rust fits in with the Rust Never Sleeps album which was also partially recorded live at San Francisco’s Cow’s Palace and later had the audience noise removed.
Live Rust starts with an acoustic set and climaxes with an all-out electric rave. That worked particularly well on a double LP where you could choose which version of Neil Young you wanted.
Controversially the album was squeezed on to a single CD by editing out about 90 seconds of guitar from Cortez The Killer. This horrifies purists but I don’t think it is noticeable when you listen to it.
My rating – 28 out of 30 (9 +10 +9)

Neil Young Unplugged is an excellent live album contrast to loud, electric Weld album released two years earlier.
After the critical and commercial success of Weld, Young the notorious contrarian released the acoustic Harvest Moon, a follow-up to his biggest selling album, Harvest from 1972.
This album appeared quite late in the MTV Unplugged fad but Neil Young is a natural and it shows. This album confirms that it was such a shame that Young lost his way in the 1980s.

Neil Young Weld was recorded in 1991 on the tour to promote the Ragged Glory album with Crazy Horse and it rocks hard.
If you’re a fan of hard rock and you’ve dismissed Neil Young as an acoustic folkie based on songs like After the Goldrush and Harvest Moon, you’re in for a big shock.
There’s nothing subtle or gentle in this album.
On the other hand, if you want Neil Young, the folk singer-songwriter playing live, then you’d better hurry along to Live At Massey Hall.
