Neil Young will release two rare films – the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic musical comedy Human Highway and the concert feature Rust Never Sleeps – for the first time on DVD on April 22nd via Reprise Records. Neither film has been available for public viewing in years.
Human Highway is Young’s 1982 comedy starring Russ Tamblyn, Charlotte Stewart, Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, and Devo, which has been digitally restored for the DVD release. Rust Never Sleeps is the full-length feature about Young’s 1978 concert tour and includes some of Young’s most popular songs, showcasing classic hits such as“I Am a Child,” featuring Crazy Horse, “Cinnamon Girl,” “Like A Hurricane” and both the acoustic and electric versions of his landmark song “Hey Hey, My My.” Pre-orders for both DVD’s will begin on Feb 29th through Neil Young Store.

Source for this? No other outlet is reporting this, and NY’s own store does not have any pre-sales up.
Rust Never Sleeps used to be available on DVD.
There are not two “versions” of the song Hey, Hey, My, My (an acoustic and an electric version) there are two different songs My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue) the acoustic “version” you so erroneously referred to and Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Black) the electric version. The songs are distinct in that Hey, Hey, My, My, features Devo on guitar, and the lyrics are different as is the story told from My, My, Hey, Hey. To those of us seasoned veterans of the early Neil Young era pretending to be a journalist covering his work you appear to be a naïf. Do your research a little better so your credibility doesn’t suck.
