  • toledo slim Friday, May 18, 2012 10:17 am judging by some of the comments posted here...these guys wouldn't make it in todays demanding entertainment circus. i actually enjoyed the informality and simplicity of this show - and i'm not a big CSN (CSNY) fan.
  • Anonymous Friday, May 18, 2012 8:22 am incredible!!! i saw them live last week in buenos aires, was fantastic, more than three hours of true music!
  • Anonymous Thursday, May 17, 2012 11:25 am Did CSN and CSNY not have their roadies tune up their legions of guitars in setting up? I remember seeing CSN in '82 and the then Checkerdome in St Louis and I counted at least 15 guitars between the three of them and folks where to the side like runners and a tennis tournament awaiting the next hand-off to the next song due to their open tunings and key signatures that vary between every song. I never remember them fumbling around with crazily out-of-tune boxes like on this video...they were handed off and they counted off and boom they started into the next tune on the set list... Helplessly Hoping is in plain D if I recall Am C G D chord progression using a cheater... I think that it is Stephen being stoned...as his reaction to David was to blow it off when David states that "it's gotta be his E string" and not Graham. One can tell just for a split second that Stephen was pretty put out by the "guitar" but I still wonder if they did not have the roadies tune, etc so they did not have to even futz around with tunings between songs; again given the numbers of key signatures and open tunings that they used... What kills me is the double standards and expectations that we hold between different groups...Jefferson Airplane folks used to sing deliberately in a clashy off key sort of way and folks thought that it worked for them... Most tapes of the Dead around 71 had them so out of tune that it is any wonder 72 came only one year later (tune up issue-wise) Tapes of those two years illustrate that pretty well...

  • Anonymous Thursday, May 17, 2012 8:22 am the day radio bear broadcast them from the city and the boys played on the street we knew nothing was finer than that sound, tuned or not. everytime i saw/heard the frozen nozes they were there in the alltogether. we are lucky to have them, all.
  • Anonymous Thursday, May 17, 2012 3:57 am Thank God I didn't pay to see this concert. They can't even tune their goofy guitars. Can you imaging how boring 2 hours of this crap would have been?

  • jonster Friday, August 05, 2011 12:22 am "Pretty Please" get thi astounding footage out on DVD. One needs to share this with the uninitiated folk who missed out on these FINE Years & artists. Exceelnt concert footage guys ! Well done Bill for the forethought you had in recording & filming one of the bext periods in the art of Music. Especialy for us chaps who lived during the apeartheid era in S.A. where the Ruling Party was ONLY TOO Pleased that these artists did not come out to S.A. to "spread the Human Revolution" of the era.

  • anarchitek Tuesday, August 02, 2011 5:39 pm If these guys could just get tuned up, they could probably make good music! Enough, you guys! You tuned up in Woodstock (badly), and you're doing it again here--it's getting to be annoying. If anyone ever had a rep they only half deserved, it would have to be CSN, without the guy "standing next to (someone in the crowd who asked where Neil was)". Maybe Steve needs to get OVER his receding hairline issues, and just be the great guitarist he is, without the drama or the alcohol. What a loss (and I don't mean hair)!
  • IF NOT FOR YOU Tuesday, August 02, 2011 2:58 pm Too many ego's for our man Neil to stay! You have to admit talent overflowing & harmonies perfect. Back then they did always seem unorganized & I've heard a comment from Nash they either didn't like to practice or he couldn't get them together...unbelievable they still sound this great! Must remember the crowd is mostly stoned, too! Maybe why they are so obnoxious! SWEET, anyway!
  • monkeymeat Tuesday, August 02, 2011 9:43 am Back before Still ego and drugs took his voice, talent and guitar chops.
  • itzonlyme2 Tuesday, May 10, 2011 5:06 pm Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young = 4 very talented musicians...that's why they all whether together, or alone their concerts STILL "sell out".
  • Anonymous Monday, May 09, 2011 11:02 pm forty seconds of tuning followed by 2:30 three stoned guys singing---the reasons why digital tuners and rehab were invented
  • Anonymous Monday, May 09, 2011 6:05 am Of course a classic. Stephen looks tired and depressed. David is in fine form, Graham is the only one that seems to have made it thru the years relatively unscathed. Plenty of talent here without Neil, but the ego of Stephen and the pressure of their mythology as hippy heroes did not allow for someone as talented as Neil to stay.
  • jjsaye Wednesday, May 04, 2011 8:29 am I still beleive these guys should kiss neils ass once a day! isn't graham nash just full of himself. when their done kissing neils ass they can kiss stevens for awhile.
