Arc was released in November 1991 by Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Musicians on this album were:

Neil Young: Vocals, guitars
Frank Sampedro: Guitars, keyboards, vocals
Billy Talbot: Bass, vocals
Ralph Molina: Drums, vocals

Neil took parts of songs played on the Weld tour and put them together into a single "song". It lasts 35 minutes.

The idea for this album is said to have come from a still-unreleased movie that Neil made during his 1986 tour with Crazy Horse called Muddy Track. Neil used the beginnings and endings of songs for the soundtrack of the movie. Neil gave Thurson Moore of Sonic Youth (Sonic Youth opened for Neil on the "Weld" tour) a copy of Muddy Track and Thurston liked the musical bits so much that he suggested to Neil that he should do a whole album like that. The result? Arc.
