It's June 1979. I was home from college for the summer between my sophomore and junior years. I was hanging out in the air conditioning at home, trying to stay cool, listening to WNEW-FM. As the clock struck 2 pm, Scott Muni, one of WNEW's legendary DJs, started his customary afternoon shift that day with the following words: "This is the new one from Neil Young". With that, the house shook as the opening notes of Hey Hey, My My (that's the electric version) thundered and snarled from my stereo speakers. Neil's voice filled the room with the anthemic chorus of "rock and roll can never die". Five minutes later it was over, and I was in the car, on the way to Tower Records to purchase the album, Rust Never Sleeps. The disc was an instant classic, its acoustic and electric sides serving as counterpoints to one another, as did the opening My My, Hey Hey and the electric companion sited above. In addition to those 2 tracks, the album featured now legendary tunes such as Thrasher, Pocahontas, Powderfinger, Welfare Mothers and Sedan Delivery. Of course, in typical Neil fashion, he had been playing those songs in concert before he released them, and in fact, many of the tunes were recorded live at a 1978 show from the Cow Palace in San Francisco. This high quality audience recording is from that same tour, at New York's Madison Square Garden, on September 28, 1978, 34 yearsago today. Download this and you'll know why Rust Never Sleeps!
