Live Rustis a live album byNeil YoungandCrazy Horse,recorded during their fall 1978Rust Never Sleepstour.

Live Rustis composed of performances recorded at several venues, including theCow PalacenearSan Francisco.Young also directed a companion film,Rust Never Sleeps,under a pseudonym "Bernard Shakey", which consisted of footage from the Cow Palace.

The CD version of the album was slightly edited to fit on a single compact disc, which were limited to 74 minutes at the time this album was first issued on CD. In 2014, a remastered, high-resolution download was made available on the Pono store, restoring the album to its original length.[4]

Between tracks 2 and 3 on side 2 there is a stage announcement calling for people to get off of a tower and comments on an ongoing rainstorm. This is actually taken fromWoodstock,almost a decade prior where Young performed as a member ofCrosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
