This 1991 Reprise release is a live album documenting a performance from the Ragged Glory tour. It captures the band in a relatively unvarnished state, a stark contrast to the slicker production of their previous studio album, 'Harvest Moon'.
- The album was recorded live at the Silverlake Concert Theater in Los Angeles on October 16, 1991. It was released less than a month after the concert, making it one of the quickest turnarounds for a live album in Young's discography. The album features extended jams and a raw, unedited sound characteristic of Crazy Horse's live performances.
- The album reached number 183 on the Billboard 200 chart in late 1991. It has been noted for its lengthy guitar solos and the band's signature riff-heavy sound. Young has often spoken about the importance of capturing the live energy of Crazy Horse.
- The 'Weld' tour was known for its raw energy and the band's often chaotic stage presence. The accompanying 'Arc' album, released concurrently, featured a sound collage of guitar noise and feedback from the same tour.
