Song History

This song was originally released on Neil Young's 1979 partial live album Rust Never Sleeps. It was first covered by Dave at a Neil Young tribute show in 2001, then not played again in any form until the 2008 Summer Tour. In these later versions, Dave often swapped out "rust never sleeps" for "than fade away," the latter of which are lyrics from "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" on the same album.

As of 2009, this song has always been played without any horns.
