Here is a rare photo from Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse's Rust Never Sleeps tour at McNichols Sports Arena, Denver, Colorado on 1978-10-19. (Thanks QueenCityJamz !)

If you look really closely, the "Chalk Talk" image has the immortal phrases "Better to RUST than to be David Briggs"! and "Better to burn out than be Larry Johnson!!"

So might that be L.A. on right in old man costume with David Briggs on left???

More on  David Briggs and Larry "L.A." Johnson.

Also, answers to the quintessential question: "Why does Rust Never Sleep?"

    I went- Boston Garden-1978. Neil and Horse, sold out. When Rust came out my old friend from home said, "the guy gives me faith in rock and roll." I believe it was fall of 1978, Rolling Stone, "The Last American Hero" and how true.

    I was Lucky enough to see 2 Shows at the Garden & Nassau Coliseum & was Blown Away by the stage sho6 & the Horse were Ferocious & Loud! As great as those Shows were the 2 I saw at the Palladium in 76 were the 2 Best I've seen Neil play out of the 54 times I've seen him!
