Forty years ago today, on July 11, 1979, the concert film, Rust Never Sleeps, by Neil Young, debuted
at the Bruin Theatre in Westwood, Los Angeles, California. The album of the same name was
released simultaneously. The title is borrowed from the slogan for Rust-Oleum paint, and was suggested by Mark Mothersbaugh of the new wave band Devo. It is also an aphorism describing Young's musical self-renewal to avert the threat of irrelevance.

The bulk of the album was recorded live at the Boarding House in San Francisco and during the Neil Young/Crazy Horse tour in late 1978, with overdubs
added later. Audience noise was removed as much as possible, although it
is clearly audible at certain points, most noticeably on the opening
and closing songs.

The album is half acoustic and half electric, opening
and closing with different versions of the same song: Hey Hey, My My. The song was inspired by the electropunk group Devo, the rise of punk and what Young viewed as his own growing irrelevance; the song revitalized his career.
