Young’s film company Shakey Pictures captured the Aussie ‘Alchemy’ shows for his next concert movie.
‘Alchemy’ is ‘Rust Never Sleeps II’. The stage was made up the same as for Young’s iconic 1979 concert film ‘Rust Never Sleeps’. The roadie dressed as professors as they prepared the stage, in place of the original Roadie Jawas from the original movie.
The set featured the giant roadcases, also seen in ‘Rust Never Sleeps’ and the “no rain, no rain” chant, this time during ‘Walk Like A Giant’.
Young played 21 different songs across the Australian tour.
