Neil Young’s biorhythms have led him to the brutal crucible of Crazy Horse every so often since his second solo album, giving him the opportunity to, um, weld chaos and familiarity into a precarious ritual that perhaps the Who, more than anyone, best understand. This concert video, compiled from snatches of performance shot during a long tour somewhere around 1990, is the visual accompaniment to a double-CD package (also called Weld) of live material released in 1991. If you were at one of the shows, you’ll instantly recognize the streak of surrealism surrounding this production, including enormous Marshall amplifiers on the stage (props, though the show is loud enough to make one believe they’re real) and an odd preface featuring a salt-of-the-earth farmer type dragging an oversized microphone (with stand) while Jimi Hendrix’s version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” blares through the arena.

Young and Crazy Horse instantly get down to business, however, with one of their searing takes on “Hey Hey My My (Into the Black),” followed by a muscular “Crime in the City” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” The latter, a haunting, (mostly) solo performance by Young, sounds like the echo of a long-ago clarion call from the optimistic 1960s, and it goes a long way toward refining this show’s unspoken theme: building a temporary bridge to a ghostly past. Young and the band do just that, repeatedly and in different ways as the concert progresses from a strangely fragile but exuberant performance of Young’s early hit, “Cinnamon Girl,” to the mirage-like “Cortez the Killer” and its layered elegy for the Woodstock generation, to the shatteringly beautiful ode to a forgotten young man’s ultimate sacrifice in “Powderfinger.” By the time Young brings us back to the then-reality of the Bush years in “Rockin’ in the Free World,” one can’t help but feel robbed by the cruel vicissitudes of history. –Tom Keogh

Emergency welding technique using 3 car batteries wired in series. Knowing how to do this may just save you from haivng to leave your rig out in the middle of nowhere. If you’re going to go wheeling you need to know how to save your own butt. AAA doesn’t respond if your 20 miles off the beaten path. This is the second video that I’ve done on this subject. The first video showed me doing an acutal trail repair, but wasn’t very detailed. I had so many responses from people that didn’t understand what was going on, or for some reason thought it wasn’t possible, that I decided to do a video in a controlled environment and show exactly what welding with car batteries is all about.

Product Description
Welding is a skill that any do-it-yourself enthusiast needs in his arsenal. It’s only when you can join metal that you can properly repair and create. This book is the perfect introduction for neophytes and an excellent refresher for veteran welders, a work so comprehensive and so complete that most readers won’t need any further instruction.

How to Weld starts with a brief history of welding, an overview of the different types of welding, and a thorough discussion of safety practices. Longtime welding instructor Todd Bridigum describes various tools and types of metals, as well as techniques and types of joints. Bridigum discusses gas, stick, wire-feed (MIG and TIG), even brazing, completing each section with a series of exercises that fully illustrate the skills he has covered.
