‘Time Fades Away’ from 1973 featured an all-new set of songs never released on record before, a shock tactic that baffled all those who were expecting a run-through of ‘Harvest’ and ‘After The Goldrush’ nuggets and a bitter blow for Young’s record company, who were hoping for just that. If it charts then that’s a bonus! Neil Young & Crazy Horse have had a couple of stabs at making a live album, with varying degrees of success. Live albums are usually hit and miss affairs, a fusing together of all the best bits from a successful tour in the hope that a valid and perhaps valuable document will be the end result. I guess you just really had to be there to fully appreciate the surge of power that has been captured on these two discs, but for those devoted Neil Young & Crazy Horse fans who just couldn’t make it to their US tour last spring, ‘Weld’ manages to give the illusion that you had a front row seat.
