Description

Weld is a live  double LP by Neil Young and Crazy Horse released in 1991, comprising performances recorded on the tour to promote the Ragged Glory album.The LP finds Young & greatest backing band Crazy Horse on another peak as their 'Don't Spook the Horse'-tour followed the potent triad 'Eldorado' (1988), 'Freedom' (1989) & 'Ragged Glory' (1990). This two disc set takes in highlights of that tour, which was set to a backdrop of Young being seen as the godfather of the movement that would become grunge and the 1991 Gulf War.

Weld consists of some of Youngs and Crazy Horse most aggresive rock and roll songs, cranking up the volume on gargantuan guitar distortion. It also returned to straightforward rock and roll via the acclaimed Ragged Glory album with Crazy Horse, then celebrating that return with an accompanying multi-disc live document and concert film. An interesting cut on this album is Young's "Gulf War" version of Dylans "Blowin' in the Wind", which had air raid sound effects.

Neil Young claims that, while mixing this album, he permanently damaged his hearing.
