Yes, Neil Young 'Live Rust' was excellent; I was at that show and got some great photos of it, too. But my favorite Neil Young live album was 'Weld', from the 'Ragged Glory' tour. Such a great crunching metallic sound all over that!

Stuartk, Just to be sure, "Europe 72"" is Rory Gallagher.  That version of "Messing with the Kid" still fires me up.

I have noticed a bevy of new "live" titles recently released that were recorded by radio stations or are otherwise far from audiophile quality. A slew of Van Halen concerts releases come to mind. One needs to be careful when perusing at your local record store as some seem to hide the fact that they are of lesser recording quality.
