Rust Never Sleeps (1979)

Documentary covering Neil Young's October 22, 1978 concert performance at the Cow Palace.

Great documentary of a Neil Young & Crazy Horse concert in probably the best phase of their existence; contains a lot of their best songs.

Maltin***: "Ragged-out but rousing record of Neil Young in concert, with 16 well-performed tunes by rockdom's most lovable downer. My My, Hey, Hey."

The Last Waltz (1978)

A film account and presentation of the final concert of The Band.

Excellent, nearly exemplary documentation of a musical event involving some of the top artists of the time; it helps that all musicians present themselves in best form on stage.

Halliwell***: "Perhaps the best movie so far of a rock concert, one that also features many of the most influential performers of the era, together with some brief but revealing interviews with the band members."

Maltin***: "Truly wonderful documentary...the whole film is beautifully done."
