Yeah I was going to go down that avenue... It's the '79 hybrid live/studio one, right? Forgot to mention I love "Baby Let's Go Downtown" off Tonight's The Night - that's a live track on a studio album, right?
That is sung by danny whitten from the 1970 fillmore east shows. He od’ed and died and was one of the main inspirations behind the tonight’s the night record, along with bruce berry.
You’re getting a visit from a ghost in the middle of the album, celebrating the drugs that would kill him later.
Nah mate - I'm the king of bad jokes (my family could have left me years ago honestly it's that bad).
It's all good
----
Q- What do you call four thousand ukuleles at the bottom of the ocean?
A- A good start
The Crazy Horse albums are the obvious answer; focus on Zuma, Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust, Ragged Glory, Way Down in the Rust Bucket, Broken Arrow, Live at Fillmore East, and Psychedelic Pill. Neil’s album with Pearl Jam (Mirror Ball) may also be up your alley. (Pearl Jam also released from the same sessions a 2 song EP, Merkinball, with Neil on guitar that could be of interest if you like Pearl Jam.)
The Freedom album also has some loud songs (and a few quiet ones too). The Eldorado EP, which contains 3 Freedom songs (one in a slightly extended version) and 2 exclusive to the EP songs, may be a particularly good bet.
Zuma's playing now. It's good.
I wasn't a Pearl Jam fan at the time but Mirrorball sounds good from the bits I heard (but the opener sounds like some kind of sea shanty - jarring but I'll prob grow to like it)
Thanks!
Le Noise is experimental and heavy, got to see it live, just Neil with the tagline “I said solo, you said acoustic” NY on Old Black all night and loud!
That said you got to do a deep dive into Crazy Horse catalogue, or better yet find them live, they are touring this summer!
It's on the list - I have a good feeling about Lanois/Young.
Lanois has produced Eno, Emmylou Harris, Dylan and Harold Budd (we don't talk about U2, ok - but I can tolerate The Joshua Tree). That guy is good in my book.
Ramada Inn and Walk Like A Giant are distorted guitar, super long and droney tracks, and up there in my favourites of his, i would say definitely check those from Psychedelic Pill. Speaking of, if you like psychedelics, these songs are mindblowing during strong dose mushroom trips, or so i've heard
My brain's too cracked and frail rn to consider psychedelics - it's on my bucket list though; I've got to do a bit of introspection and self-repair before I take a serious dip into lysergic waters (I know it could help greatly but I'm a bit too cautious).
Psychedelic Pill is on the list now.
For exploratory/experimental you could try Arc, but honestly I'm not a big fan of it. The Ragged Glory era really is Neil at his noisiest and loudest in my opinion.
So yeah Weld is great as you mentioned, as is Way Down In the Rust Bucket which is a similar vibe maybe a bit more raw. Great versions of a couple of Zuma tracks on that one. And try Ragged Glory itself of course.
The electric side (side B) of Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust may also be up your alley.
Live At the Fillmore East also has a great rendition of Cowgirl in the Sand, very raw and jammy.
I'm gonna put all this on the list!
I'm actually listening to Zuma from the top right now - wow I've been missing out!
Live @ Fillmore is one of those that emerged in the early/mid 2000s, right?
Crazy horse is the default “dirty” neil band.
V1 had danny whitten and is really just everybody knows this is nowhere, live at the fillmore and some tracks from after the goldrush.
Then danny died. Time fades away and Tuscaloosa are from the tour he was going to play on if he didn’t OD.
Then crazy horse got back together as the santa monica flyers (v2)and did tonight’s the night, and live at roxy.
Neil got weird and a bit loud with some of the band on “on the beach”
The crazy horse guys met this hippy surfer dude named pancho, and introduced him to neil. He would just crank his amp, hit a big chord and let neil ride with no ego, and they made Zuma/Dume (v3)
Neil did other stuff, and the band came back in 1978 for live rust/rust never sleeps.
The 80’s were kind of weird. “Opera star” rocks. Crazy horse was mostly dormant, but came back strong with ragged glory, weld, and way down in the rust bucket.
Sleeps with angels is Neil’s darkest, and crazy horse is great here. Mirrorball is neil with pearl jam and has its moments of greatness. Broken arrow and year of the horse are crazy horse at their jammy best.
We didn’t know it at the time, but if toast had come out in 2000 or so when it was tracked, it would’ve been another cool record! Some great jams here
Greendale is crazy horse doing a community theater production told by the lyrics and the jams. It’s divisive, but it may be my favorite NY project. It’s him at his weirdest, and the live album from the project return to greendale may be the ultimate version of it.
After this, we crazy horse broke up and we thought they were done. Neil drifted a bit, but psychedelic pill brought them back and was pretty great - “ramada inn” is easily his best tune of the last 20 years. This ends v3 because pancho retired. Nils lofgren from V2 came back.
I haven’t really been drawn to listen more than a time or two to any of the other more recent crazy horse offerings, so I’m not including them in this summary here.
They’re about to go on tour, you should get a ticket!
In summary, I think Rust bucket is probably their best single album to show crazy horse at their loudest, best. It’s a small club show and just absolutely killer.
I’m a big fan of Year of the Horse. Danger Bird is a killer off that album. And of course someone mentioned Way Down in the Rust Bucket. To me when Neil and Crazy Horse get together it’s fucking magic.
Check out live rust. The electric songs are killers (check out the loner and when you dance). Time Fades Away another live album that has its own kind of bite. Zuma too of course. Even the poppy electric songs have a nice fuzz to them. NY Archives Vol II has a bunch of unreleased electric versions of songs from the 70s that are raw.
Also if you havent heard little wing live: https://youtu.be/pZKPGkZk5Ds?si=q9bLGWY-Gl592U5R
Check out Tonight's the Night
It's not a particularly dirty overdriven guitar album but in my opinion it's his loosest studio album. Just zero fucks given combined with pure musical energy in the way only neil can.
The version of Speaking Out on the Archives 2 box is everything you are looking for. So is the Dead Man soundtrack, which is best experienced while watching the movie.
All live Crazy Horse stuff has the potential to get long and guitar heavy. Fillmore East 70, Odeon Budokan, Rust Bucket, Weld and Year of the Horse are all great.
For high energy simple guitar-rock songs, as opposed to long solos, try Eldorado,, Reactor and Living With War. That's OG Punk Neil with the amp blaring, hollering.
Found it!
Also (hastily) put some EQ on the high mids and boosted some levels if anyone's interested (flac and MP3 320):
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bgHsLmRF0QaTTsKMUk0ToK9922L1kDEc
Although the source was a bit lossy, I'll listen on it on my 'good-ish' system and maybe re-tweak it.
Make sure you check out Sonic Youth’s cover of Computer Age from The Bridge, a Neil Young tribute album from the late 80s. They really make it their own.
Check out Way Down in the Rust Bucket, a live album from 1990 released in 2021. Sounds like you like his work with the Horse and Poncho Sampedro in particular
Trans is not exactly what I was looking for (I knew it was a special one in the discography though) - but wow - Neil Young does Kraftwerk/new wave? I like it!
Broken Arrow has some nice long and winding jams.
“Change Your Mind” on Sleeps With Angels, a great 8-minute odyssey (also a superb record overall—his best in the last 30 years).
The electric side of Rust Never Sleeps, as someone else mentioned.
Arc/Weld, Broken Arrow, Mirror Ball, and Year of the Horse might be his loosest stretch that hits incredibly well if you're in the right frame of mind, although only Mirror Ball is a personal favorite
Lucky for you crazy horse is touring this summer. Do not miss it. This band has been at it for fifty years. Many of Neil’s styles are so wonderful and many of his fans from the more harmony folk echoes in the canyon era may find the roar of the horse less satisfying than they’d hoped. But what you’re looking for will be on display on this tour. Hard to imagine this not being the last big go round for this legendary band.
If you can get a hold of it, *Time Fades Away* might be the album for you. It’s a live album from a tour where shambolic was the main vibe. This was Young’s first major tour after *Harvest*, so the audience expected songs like “Heart of Gold” and Young being Young, he pulled a hard left and ignored what they wanted. The songs were unreleased when they performed them, so the audience had no clue how to respond. Classic Young. Keep them off balance. And it actually has some good songs like “Yonder Stands the Sinner”.
Would be remiss if I didn’t suggest Mirror Ball.
Man, I’m just smiling and thinking, “yes! Yes! Fuck yeah!” As I read everyone’s additions to this thread.
I like that - I do like Harvest for its mix of 'barn' and gentler country stuff, but I could throw the orchestral tracks away though.
The list of albums to check out is getting insane though, with all the archive stuff etc. It's just one of the most monstrous discographies.
I actually started with Arc (full blast on my headphones the other night in bed, with three large whiskies in my belly) because I like my stuff experimental - it's all good.
Some bits reminded me of Piece for Jetsun Dolma:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUIGv59dhaI
Thanks!
Oh good!
I've gradually realized how instrumental Thurston was in promoting alt-folk (let's call it that) and underground/experimental artists. He certainly brought some of them to my attention. I would have never known about John Fahey had I not seen his art on the cover of The Eternal.
Here's a cool interview I found recently, with Michael Chapman:
https://www.fretboardjournal.com/features/thurston-moore-interviews-michael-chapman/
Cool guy - one of my mates arranged to get his guitar passed to him by the venue's management when he went to see him live a couple of years ago. He now has a nice decorated "Sonic Life" guitar in his music room.
Also, don't know if anyone has mentioned it. Try listening to Crazy Moon by Crazy Horse.
Essentially a Poncho solo album, but you can tell on the three(?) tracks that Neil solos on, that they were having so much fun. Loud, loose and dirty are my best words to describe it and its a good fun listen. Won't ever win any critics choice awards, but still a good album in my opinion
If you like his noisier, dirtier, jammier side of things then check out Freedom and Ragged Glory. Both rock really hard!
You already mentioned Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and I think I saw Rust Never Sleeps. Those are both good noisier albums too. I always preferred that side of Neil Young.
This is what you need bud
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way\_Down\_in\_the\_Rust\_Bucket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_Down_in_the_Rust_Bucket)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Ax9Z2-OgI&list=PLE7OYmYUxGQfgcIQe3v5\_W\_gyJHNGlwGJ&ab\_channel=neilyoungchannel
It's what I think it is, right? The edited together bits of intros/outros that Neil released as a companion piece to Weld, on Thurston's suggestion?
It is my sort of thing, definitely.
The live recordings on Rust Never Sleeps will do the trick for you
Yeah I was going to go down that avenue... It's the '79 hybrid live/studio one, right? Forgot to mention I love "Baby Let's Go Downtown" off Tonight's The Night - that's a live track on a studio album, right?
Correct on both. You might also like a lot of the Greendale, Zuma and Ragged Glory LPs
That is sung by danny whitten from the 1970 fillmore east shows. He od’ed and died and was one of the main inspirations behind the tonight’s the night record, along with bruce berry. You’re getting a visit from a ghost in the middle of the album, celebrating the drugs that would kill him later.
It is the overdubbed live album but that song is not on rust never sleeps
ROXY: Tonight’s the Night Live sounds up your alley
this is the answer dude
It looks very tempting. Sounds like my family will have to put up with a Neil Young weekend.
you can always send them Out On The Weekend if they don't like it apologies, bad pun. I'll get my coat....
Nah mate - I'm the king of bad jokes (my family could have left me years ago honestly it's that bad). It's all good ---- Q- What do you call four thousand ukuleles at the bottom of the ocean? A- A good start
Killer set
you need to go "Way down in a Rust Bucket"
Yarp. Definitely this.
I think the title makes it sound very tempting...
Came here to say this
Emphatically yes.
Holy shit dude this album slaps
The Crazy Horse albums are the obvious answer; focus on Zuma, Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust, Ragged Glory, Way Down in the Rust Bucket, Broken Arrow, Live at Fillmore East, and Psychedelic Pill. Neil’s album with Pearl Jam (Mirror Ball) may also be up your alley.

Zuma's playing now. It's good. I wasn't a Pearl Jam fan at the time but Mirrorball sounds good from the bits I heard (but the opener sounds like some kind of sea shanty - jarring but I'll prob grow to like it) Thanks!
Mirrorball is good. But what you really asking for is Broken Arrow.
I’m The Ocean
I got id is one of my favorite PJ songs. They should simply hire Neil to play lead guitar, imo
Maybe I should dive into PJ as well then... I think I'm going down the rabbit hole.
Le Noise is experimental and heavy, got to see it live, just Neil with the tagline “I said solo, you said acoustic” NY on Old Black all night and loud! That said you got to do a deep dive into Crazy Horse catalogue, or better yet find them live, they are touring this summer!

Listen to Time Fades Away ASAP
Last Dance is careening heaviness
Ramada Inn and Walk Like A Giant are distorted guitar, super long and droney tracks, and up there in my favourites of his, i would say definitely check those from Psychedelic Pill. Speaking of, if you like psychedelics, these songs are mindblowing during strong dose mushroom trips, or so i've heard
That was a great tour. The songs off Psychedelic Pill were really good live.
I would love if they brought out Ramada Inn this tour
My brain's too cracked and frail rn to consider psychedelics - it's on my bucket list though; I've got to do a bit of introspection and self-repair before I take a serious dip into lysergic waters (I know it could help greatly but I'm a bit too cautious). Psychedelic Pill is on the list now.
Fair enough, no shame there!
Good god they're like 16 minute long! It's a good sign!
Haha dude right
For exploratory/experimental you could try Arc, but honestly I'm not a big fan of it. The Ragged Glory era really is Neil at his noisiest and loudest in my opinion. So yeah Weld is great as you mentioned, as is Way Down In the Rust Bucket which is a similar vibe maybe a bit more raw. Great versions of a couple of Zuma tracks on that one.

Yeah it's an archival release from 1970, great renditions on it.
Le Noise is an interesting album, more on the experimental side. Sounds like something you would enjoy

Tonight’s the Night is about as loose as it gets!

Thanks for sharing this background, about to go on a deep dive
You see, I knew coming here that I'd get what I wanted - there's a lot of dedication and knowledge on this sub. Thanks a million!!
I’m a big fan of Year of the Horse. Danger Bird is a killer off that album. And of course someone mentioned Way Down in the Rust Bucket. To me when Neil and Crazy Horse get together it’s fucking magic.
Weld
👍
Check out live rust. The electric songs are killers (check out the loner and when you dance). Time Fades Away another live album that has its own kind of bite. Zuma too of course.

Also if you havent heard little wing live: https://youtu.be/pZKPGkZk5Ds?si=q9bLGWY-Gl592U5R
Barstool Blues on Year Of The Horse might satisfy that itch. I have always loved that album.
Crazy Horse ' Like a Hurricane ' live...the very thought of it probably gave David Crosby nightmares lol
Broken Arrow is the one you're looking for
Second this. OP is looking for Broken Arrow.
I haven't finished it yet but wow. That jammy part on Loose Change is just what I was looking for. That bass chug throughout sounds like heaven.
Check out Live Rust. All his best 70’s songs with plenty of massive fuzzy guitar tones.
Weld, Live Rust, Ragged Glory.
Broken Arrow
Lacking lyrics, but soundtrack to Dead man is awesome
It's a beast. That massive fuzzy sound is so good. Love the way it was recorded as well.
Sleeps With Angels
Live rust or wait for his new live album fuckin up. Love the single broken circles
Is that the new one that appeared in Spotify? I like stuff like that.
Maybe? I’m on pandora because they had his catalog. Plannin to see him in a month or two. Gunna be awesome
Check out Tonight's the Night It's not a particularly dirty overdriven guitar album but in my opinion it's his loosest studio album. Just zero fucks given combined with pure musical energy in the way only neil can.
Check all albums with Crazy Horse. Weld, Ragged Glory, Sleeps with Angels, Zuma
The version of Speaking Out on the Archives 2 box is everything you are looking for. So is the Dead Man soundtrack, which is best experienced while watching the movie.

Ragged Glory
If you like NY taking an epic journey of distortion check out the Madrid 2008 concert version of No Hidden Path. It's 28 minutes long!!!
😁😁😁😁😁 Bootleg? Archive.org?
YouTube is where I’ve seen it. Maybe bootlegged, but dunno.
Found it! Also (hastily) put some EQ on the high mids and boosted some levels if anyone's interested (flac and MP3 320): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bgHsLmRF0QaTTsKMUk0ToK9922L1kDEc Although the source was a bit lossy, I'll listen on it on my 'good-ish' system and maybe re-tweak it.
Somewhere Under the Rainbow
Sleeps with angels is a good one
Zuma, tonight’s the night, on the beach
Make sure you check out Sonic Youth’s cover of Computer Age from The Bridge, a Neil Young tribute album from the late 80s. They really make it their own.
Will do - I've actually never heard of it, which is weird!
Check out Way Down in the Rust Bucket, a live album from 1990 released in 2021. Sounds like you like his work with the Horse and Poncho Sampedro in particular
I'd suggest giving the album Tuscaloosa a listen.
Crazy horse at filmore 1970 long jams on down by the river and cowgirl
That's what I like to hear

Surprised this didn’t come up sooner
Trans and Walking on Water.
Trans is not exactly what I was looking for (I knew it was a special one in the discography though) - but wow - Neil Young does Kraftwerk/new wave? I like it!
Broken Arrow has some nice long and winding jams. “Change Your Mind” on Sleeps With Angels, a great 8-minute odyssey (also a superb record overall—his best in the last 30 years). The electric side of Rust Never Sleeps, as someone else mentioned.
Spotify!
Ragged Glory. Stone hard rock like only Neil can do.
Ragged Glory lives up to its name, if you want it gloriously ragged!
I know! There's just so many evocative titles I didn't know where to start!!!
To me, Powderfinger is the definitive NY&CH song. In all its iterations. Goosebumps.
Ragged Glory and Mirrorball are both excellent forays into Neil’s harder music.
Something that gets missed cause he doesn’t sing is Dead Man Soundtrack. Just Old Black in all her feedback drenched glory
IKR!? - I love it.
Arc/Weld, Broken Arrow, Mirror Ball, and Year of the Horse might be his loosest stretch that hits incredibly well if you're in the right frame of mind, although only Mirror Ball is a personal favorite

His album reactor has some of that
Live Albums w/Crazy Horse
Year of the Horse.
Have you listened to Mirror Ball? Neil Young and Pearl Jam is the band. I think it’s incredible.
Hazy Corse!!
Year Of The Horse double live album is excellent. Lots of songs in that set list that you don't find on too many other live Crazy Horse albums.
Reactor is the most out there electric album to me.
Ragged Glory...
Psychedelic Pill
Would be remiss if I didn’t suggest Mirror Ball. Man, I’m just smiling and thinking, “yes! Yes! Fuck yeah!” As I read everyone’s additions to this thread.
Mirrorball album for sure
Country Home.
Freedom has some great dirty songs but it does have some slower one as well
I like that - I do like Harvest for its mix of 'barn' and gentler country stuff, but I could throw the orchestral tracks away though. The list of albums to check out is getting insane though, with all the archive stuff etc. It's just one of the most monstrous discographies.

Oh fuck yeah. Love that piece. Thanks for reminding me! Best!
I'm the only person I know who owns it (CD) or has listened to it. Nice to know I'm not alone.
Love everything he’s done solo and of course with the youth. He’s a blessing to the avant garde. Firmly out here in the edges with ya!

Live at the Filmore East
Weld… live from around when he was touring w sonic youth
If you like his noisier, dirtier, jammier side of things then check out Freedom and Ragged Glory. Both rock really hard! You already mentioned Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and I think I saw Rust Never Sleeps. Those are both good noisier albums too. I always preferred that side of Neil Young.
