Crosby Stills Nash and Young






Continuing on the summer of Rock, the next stop on the tour was last night to see CSNY, otherwise known individually as David Crosby (from the Byrds/Solo), Stephen Stills (from Buffalo Springfield/Solo), Graham Nash (from the Hollies/Solo) and Neil Young (from Buffalo Springfield/Solo). All these artists came from huge bands from the 1960's and have since recorded as solo performers as well as with CSNY. What this equates to is a huge catalogue of music that the band could draw upon for their concert. This is exactly what they did. The band played for 3 hours and played 33 songs. The first set was electric and focused mostly on politically charged anthems from Neil Young's "Living With War" album. The second set started off acoustically and focused on CSNY hits as well as their solo hits from over the years. Then the band went electric again and tore the ACC down. Some of the highlights were the performances of Woodstock, Wooden Ships, Teach Your Children, Our House, Ohio, Chicago, For What its Worth, Keep on Rockin' in the Free World, Guinevere, Long Time Comin', Military Madness, Lets Impeach the President, among countless other songs. I got no pictures from this concert because some asshole security guard took my camera and erased the pictures. Other then that it was a GREAT show to say the least and it was a night to remember for any hippie there. We hitched a ride down the hippie highway for three hours and it was sad when the trip was over, but hey maybe I'll try to get tickets to tonight's show! PS if you ever have a chance to see any of these guys perform, especially Neil Young, fork over the dough because it is well worth it, you will never forget that night!
