Upon its release in 1979, Live Rust reached the pinnacle of the New Zealand album charts, securing the #1 position. Remarkably, it maintained this top spot for an impressive 50 weeks, highlighting its enduring popularity among Kiwi audiences. This extended chart presence is a testament to the album’s resonance and the strong connection between Neil Young and New Zealand listeners.
