'''''Weld''''' is a [[live album]] and concert video by [[Neil Young]] & [[Crazy Horse (band)|Crazy Horse]] released in 1991, comprising performances recorded on the tour to promote the ''[[Ragged Glory]]'' album. Initially released as a limited edition three-disc set entitled ''Arc-Weld'', with the ''[[Arc (album)|Arc]]'' portion being a single disc consisting in its entirety of a sound collage of guitar noise and feedback, with equally dischordant backing by the Horse, undoubtedly influenced by Young's choice of [[Sonic Youth]] as his opening act. ''Arc'' has since been released as a separate entity to ''Weld'', and is currently out of print. |

''Weld'' consists of rock and roll songs by Young and Crazy Horse, duplicating seven that had appeared on either ''[[Rust Never Sleeps]]'' or ''[[Live Rust]]'' from twelve years earlier. It also echoes those albums as Young, in both cases having spent most of a previous decade pursuing different musical avenues, returned to straightforward rock and roll via an acclaimed album with Crazy Horse, then celebrating that return with an accompanying multi-disc live document and concert film. |
