Neil Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)", a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Side two demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with the scathing political songs "Powderfinger", "Welfare Mothers", and the loud reprise of "My, My, Hey, Hey". --Steve Knopper

1978, les rues sont infestées de punks et c'est tant mieux ! Neil Young, icône baba cool au demeurant sauvage, monte à cru son groupe, Crazy Horse, et traverse les Etats-Unis pour montrer de quel bois la bête canadienne se chauffe après dix ans de bons et loyaux services rendus à la cause du binaire. Pire, il cite le leader des Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten, dans son nouvel hymne livré à la fois en acoustique et en électrique, "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)"/"Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)". Le Loner rallie ainsi la cause punk et s'enroule dans l'étendard universel de cette indécrottable rébellion rock qu'il a toujours incarnée. Et si justement le rock est mort, Neil Young est toujours debout. Titubant sur une corde avec la volonté démesurée de tenir jusqu'au bout de la route, son jeu de guitare se salit en chemin, zigzague et se traîne dans la boue d'une distorsion rédemptrice. Enregistré live, ce mythique Rust Never Sleeps arrive donc à point pour rappeler ce mode d'emploi "youngien". Et ces compositions comptent parmi les plus belles et violentes d'un Loner au sommet de son art ("Powderfinger", "Sedan Delivery", "Welfare Mothers") et de la sauvagerie de sa six-cordes. C'était écrit dessus : "rock'n'roll will never die !" --Marc Zisman
