Yes it is. Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust are excellent as well.
I like Weld. Especially the video, which has never been released on DVD. I won 4  tickets from a Santa Barbara radio station to the last show of that tour in 91. 2 songs from that show are on the album. No soft stuff to be found there.

Massey Hall is a helluva NY show as well.

onee thing I love about the Massey Hall show is the audience. They clap very briefly between songs or if they recoginze a song and then they are quiet. It's pretty amazing compared to live recordings these days.

What does "helluva NY show" mean? NYC? New Year's Eve? I rode my bike by Massey Hall on my way to work today. Massey Hall is Canada's most revered concert venue and Neil's performance was from January 13, 1971. BTW, one of the most famous and best jazz concerts/albums ever was Jazz at Massey Hall by "The Quintet" - Dizzy Gillespy, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and Max Roach:

Hey Tracy, historically speaking, the Massey Hall crowd is often quiet between songs, often out of respect. However, I've been to shows where the audience is up dancing in the aisles: Pete Townshend, Arcade Fire, Pixies, Oysterhead (where Les Claypool announced to the audience that "Rush recorded All The World's A Stage here"!). I missed The Stooges from 3 years ago, but they raised the fucking roof. MMJ needs to play there.

Neil Young performed at Massey Hall last month as a loose 40th anniversary tribute to his 1971 show. Here's a review from the Toronto Star from a non-fan critic: http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/989254--concert-review-neil-young-brings-le-noise-to-massey

Relax - NY was short for Neil Young, not New York.

Blame Mavs hangover... and Jays getting clobbered by the Red Sox.

It's all good.  Pretty cool that you live that close that you can ride your bike past there.  My  bro in law went up there last year for a hockey tournament and had a blast.  Played games and then drank with their opponents while watching the game they had just played on the tv monitors.

I'm glad nobody has filmed my hockey team's games. My comeback (after a 16-year layoff) has been a struggle to say the least. If you know your classic-era actors, Massey Hall was built by theatre/film/TV actor Raymond Massey's grandfather.

I also love how the audience is hearing some of those songs for the first time and they end up being timeless classics.  They have no idea that they are hearing history.

Thanks for this one, Fully.  It contains an intact recording from my first MMJ show, which mysteriously vanished from LMA.  If anyone wants the Boston '08 show...

It's as if I've glimpsed a secret universe that I had never seen before :D .  So going to purchase a new storage drive and probably get fined by my isp for all the downloading I'm about to do. Husband and children may sue me for neglect and abandonment. (My music and collector obsession is about to be in need of an intervention.) At least digital files won't put me on an episode of Horders. ::)

I hope.

there's no way i could have a favorite end all live recording, if i had a gun to my head i'd go through my hard drive and pick a Jimi Hendrix Experience/early Floyd/late 70's early 80's GD.

a feel good one you might not have/forgot about:

That's the only version of "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" I can even listen to anymore. Scorching.
