CANADA - 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 well 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 excellent recording is from that same tour, in Toronto on October 1, 1978, 4 decades ago today. Download this and you'll know why Rust Never Sleep.

Thanks so much for the chance to hear this... or hear it again actually. I was a this show with a brother who's since passed on. Memories of a good night out together- deluxe!

Thanks again, both for this and your kind words in the cave, recently. This is not the appropriate place to chat, but I had to thank you.
You are very welcome my friend. Please drop by the cave. We do miss you!
speedy, my friend, i know adh and your good self would welcome my return, but don't overestimate how many others. I'll be lurking in the shadows, and can always reach you here, never fear. Take good care.
And Pig Street, And Roburquque and many more would be glad to have you back. If you believe you offended someone, than an heartfelt apology should turn the tide. And if it doesn't. then it is the one who fails to accept is not living up to the principles we established in the CAVE, not yourself.
It's more complicated than that, unfortunately, but this is not the forum to get into it. I want to give myself time. I need to have things straight in my own mind, plus there have been snide remarks from certain quarters that don't inspire confidence. Hey, I'm not dead, just 'resting' and there are those I've learned to value and that's a bonus! BTW, maybe this comments section doesn't need me cluttering it up, but I really appreciate the conversation. Remain inedible, my friend ��
@howlingwilf - my good friend - you and your comments are always welcome here - no exceptions. Take your time at the CAVE and know I welcome our conversions in the comment section! Long may you run!
Thank you, Speedy, for these great Neil shows, and YES, we miss howlingwilf in the cave.
