Live Rust is a live album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, recorded during their fall 1978 Rust Never Sleeps tour.
Live Rust is composed of performances recorded at several venues, including the Cow Palace near San Francisco. Young also directed a companion film, Rust Never Sleeps, under a pseudonym "Bernard Shakey", which consisted of footage from the Cow Palace.
The CD version of the album was slightly edited to fit on a single compact disc, which were limited to 74 minutes at the time this album was first issued on CD. In 2014, a remastered, high-resolution download was made available on the Pono store, restoring the album to its original length.{{cite web|url=https://www.ponomusic.com/ccrz__CCPage?pageKey=product&oId=of:58891f71d9ef4c2dbd14bdef34ab67e5&type=Album&artistId=of:bd0201c164e14af282ce7e44234e95e7|title=PonoMusic - Store|website=Ponomusic.com|access-date=8 August 2018}}
Between tracks 2 and 3 on side 2 there is a stage announcement calling for people to get off of a tower and comments on an ongoing rainstorm. This is actually taken from Woodstock, almost a decade prior where Young performed as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
