FIVE LANDMARK CONCERTS: 

I don't know about you, dear reader, but so far this book/website has seemed awfully studio-bound: yes there are the odd live albums dotted round in the discographies but a touring life was usually as important if not more so to our AAA artists. Even we can't go through every gig they ever played however, so what we've decided to do instead is bring you five particularly important gigs with a run-down of what was played, where and when and why we consider these gigs so important, along with one particularly good one that summed up the band's setlist during their live peak (or one of them, anyway). Think of these as a sort of 'highlights' covering from first to (in some cases) last, to whet your appetite and to avoid ignoring a band's live work completely! People don’t tend to think of CSNY as a live act so much as a studio one full of perfectionism and pristine-ness, but back in their day the quartet’s live shows were legendary not least for their length – their 1974 reunion tour regularly saw them play for four and a half hours to their fans. Perhaps that was in response to tales of lavishness and budget on that tour where ticket prices broke new records and audience seats could be miles away from the stage, something that seemed to go against the grain of the CSNY ethos while the band walked around in pricey tour t-shirts and went to bed in special pillow cases embedded with Joni Mitchell’s tour logo. This all gave CSNY a bad reputation down the years and yet perhaps CSNY’s most famous ‘doom tour’ has come to overshadow an actually pretty stellar set of performances, ones where CSNY had a relationship with their audience that was quite unlike that of any other. There are obviously a lot of CSNY shows and only so many bootlegs but all of them from every tour seem to feature some sort of comment about the plight of their fans, complaining about the prices they have to pay or offering up ‘insider’ banter that made the C-N shows especially seem like a meeting of old friends, not a performance by multi-millionaire superstars. Be it acoustic, electric or both, be it CSNY solo, in twos three or fours, unlike some bands (including AAA ones like The Beach Boys) there’s usually something exciting about every CSNY gig, from premieres of unheard songs to revivals of old rarities. Here’s our guide to five key shows.  
1) Where: Chicago Auditorium Theatre When: August 16th 1969 Why: First Gig Setlist includes: [2] So Begins The Task [15] You Don’t Have To Cry [20] Pre-Road Downs [19] Long Time Gone [80] Bluebird Revisited [50] Sea Of Madness [12] Wooden Ships ‘Down By The River’ [47] Find The Cost Of Freedom ‘Get Together’
A little known secret of the CSNY catalogue is the semi-official radio broadcast disc ‘On The Way Home’ which features the partial soundtrack of their first ever gig. We know about the second of course (which was Woodstock two days later, with the Dick Cavett TV show that night – now that’s what I call a productive week!) and is in many ways the opposite kind of a gig. Though CSNY even at their first gig are the ‘headline’ act by dint of the success of their former bands the huge success of the CSN’s debut album (out two months by this time) the whole thing feels smaller, humbler, more intricate. CSNY aren’t ‘scared shitless’ playing their second gig in front of one of the biggest audiences ever but sound on top of their game, buzzing with ideas and energy. What’s notable is that Neil, playing his first anything associated with the band except a studio rehearsal take of [2] ‘So Begins The Task’ included on the 1991 box set, is silent for much of the night and not even playing much guitar bar a brief solo set as he sticks to the organ in the electric second half of the show. So much for him being brought in so Stills could have a guitarist to bounce off! This is a reminder of just how few people in the audience would have known Neil back then, with Buffalo Springfield a distant memory and Stills writing and singing their one big hit – such a change to today! The show goes down well, resulting in no less than three standing ovations and the band are forced to come out and play an extra song – after some demurring they agree to come out with support act Joni Mitchell and sing Dino Valenti’s ‘Get Together’ – Crosby had been singing it for a while during his folkie phase before becoming a Byrd. All in all the evening was a big success with the audience adjusting to the less-than-perfect CSNY harmonies heard in person for the first time. The question was what would a bigger audience make of the quartet at their first big gig as CSN play the first of many rock festivals?...
2) Where: Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, New York When: August 18th 1969 Why: Biggest Gig Setlist: [10] Suite: Judy Blue Eyes [20] Blackbird [11] Helplessly Hoping [13] Guinevere [18] Marrakesh Express [30] 4+20 ‘Mr Soul’ ‘Wonderin’ [15] You Don’t Have To Cry [20] Pre-Road Downs [19] Long Time Gone [80] Bluebird Revisited [50] Sea Of Madness [12] Wooden Ships [47] Find The Cost Of Freedom [16] 49 Bye-Byes
CSNY will, in fact, go down rather well – so well that their songs take up a sizeable proportion of the resulting Woodstock movie (with ‘Judy’ performed live and remixes of studio songs ‘Long Time Gone’ and ‘Wooden Ships’ making the early part of the film when the stage is being erected) and the press reports on the festival’s second day claimed that the quartet were the big hit of the festival and that the festival ‘belonged’ to them. It certainly seems that way from their reception: the audience of millions take well to their mixture of big ideas and humble banter, while Stills’ comment at being ‘scared shitless’ was actually more because so many of the band’s peers were curious to hear what they sounded like and had gathered backstage rather than the crowds. CSNY didn’t actually realize how big the show was until they were going home and were flown out by helicopter so they could perform on the Dick Cavett Show – Crosby comments there that it looked like ‘the troops of the Macedonian army’ as the Woodstock crowd officially becomes the third biggest ‘populated city’ in America at that point in time – as far as CSNY was concerned this was just another big crowd and nobody quite expected how swamped the show was going to get. Back home with all the fun and epicness taken out their gig isn’t always the best though. The film features audible re-touching of their performance and it’s still about the roughest they ever played their signature song, while the full performance had such slim pickings for the compilers of the Woodstock soundtrack set that they actually raided a completely different show from later in the year with a performance of [50] ‘Sea Of Madness’ – a song CSNY didn’t even flipping play at Woodstock! Neil, never one to be there at big moments in history, refused to give permission to appear in the film, which is why their introduction tails off ‘Crosby, Stills, Nash….’ And has been trying to pretend he wasn’t there ever since, with digs at the festival and all it stood for both in song (‘Roll Another Number’ from 1975’s ‘Tonight’s The Night’ criticises a ‘helicopter day’ and jokes ‘I won’t be going back to Woodstock for a while’) and in speech (‘How did I spend the 25th anniversary of Woodstock? By painting vultures on the neck of my guitar!’) At the time Neil was blasted for being shirt-sighted, then critics began to see it as brilliance as Young was the only performer at the world’s biggest rock concert who wasn’t stuck in time in the idea of the public ten-twenty-thirty years later. I sense, though, that the tide is moving back again: in the past fifty years there has never been a concert that size which was that peaceful and the fact that the world never followed it up is the fault of the crooked politicians and greedy bankers, not the musicians who gave their all that night – CSNY included.
3) Where: Big Sur Festival, California When: September 13th 1969 Why: Messy Gig Setlist: [11] Helplessly Hoping [13] Guinevere [21] Lady Of The Island ‘Birds’ [30] 4+20 [15] You Don’t Have To Cry [50] Sea Of Madness [12] Wooden Ships ‘Down By The River’ [10] Suite: Judy Blue Eyes [20] Pre-Road Downs [19] Long Time Gone [80]
Usually an AAA member’s first tour is poorly recorded with little picture evidence, never mind audio or visual – they’re at the bottom of the bill playing unglamorous places like Slough, Wigan or Cleveland. But CSNY’s lengthy on-off first tour is easily their most fascinating one, usually for all the ‘right’ reasons, but tonight for all the ‘wrong’ ones. There is, I hasten to add, nothing wrong with the music – the little seen movie of ‘Big Sur’ (which got lost in the wake of ‘Woodstock’) includes a mind-blowing fifteen minute version of ‘Down By The River’ that thrashes any of the longer jams on ‘4 Way Street’ and the few selections we have of this gig on bootleg (this is the definitive ‘Sea OF madness’ too!) suggest that if it wasn’t CSNY’s best performance then there wouldn’t have been much in it. But this gig was a talking point for years to come because so much happened and a month from Woodstock feels like it symbolises the death of an era in as big (if less of a brutal) way than Altamont in December. One of the things you learn to understand as a CSNY fan is the contradictions – this is a band who sang about peace and love yet often seemed at war, while they always spoke out for the good of the common man while acting like divas. A member of the audience decided to call them out on this, interrupting the gig as early as the start of the second song to complain that they are singing songs about poverty while dressed in fur coats and are being paid big bucks to sing about peace and brotherhood. Actually the guy’s jumped the gun (they’re actually trying to sing medieval ballad ‘Guinevere’ at this stage) and usually CSNY handle hecklers pretty well, but this show is still so early on in their formation it catches them rather unawares. ‘We’re actually doing this for free and as you didn’t pay shut up ‘cause we’re not civilised!’ is Crosby’s less than usually eloquent response, before he really winds the heckler up by sighing ‘the human comedy rolls on’. Stills gets ever more heated, rushing off the stage to have it out with the heckler personally. Unluckily for both of them the Big Sur festival has the audience separated from the band by a pool of water and as Stills goes up to have a talk with him they both start pacing round each other. Nash finds it hilarious (joking ‘if you push him in the pool Stephen I’ll never forgive you!’) whilst Crosby is more circumspect (‘don’t do it for real man – don’t anybody do anything like that for real’). The defining image of CSNY for me, in all their great contradictions, isn’t Woodstock or any of their soundtracks but Stills being prodded in the chest with a murderous smile on his face while the rest of the band try to calm him down with the words ‘peace and love!’ Stills is taking it all as a joke until the guy says something we can’t hear and he lunges for him, starting a really nasty looking scuffle that had the guy fallen the other way could have had them both in the pool. CSNY seem suitably cowed for the rest of the gig, Crosby urging the crowd not to beat up on the heckler as ‘he’s as much a part of this thing, unfortunately, as we are, man’ while Stills seems to suddenly come to his senses and try to explain that the guy hit a nerve. ‘We think about, like the guy was saying, we look at these fur coats, fancy guitars, fancy cars and say wow man what am I doing? So when somebody gets up and freaks out like that it touches a nerve and you end up right back in that trap…I had some guys to love me out of it, I was lucky!’ The rest of the gig is interrupted by the sight of a whale (did it inspire [182] ‘To The Last Whale’?) a guest appearance by Traffic’s Dave Mason and even more re-turning and set equipment breakdowns than normal. Going from sublime to ridiculous in the space of a few seconds this is a key CSNY moment and was for many fans their first bootleg when ‘Wooden Nickel’, the soundtrack of parts of this show, became the first widely available set that wasn’t by either The Beatles or Bob Dylan.
4) Where: The Coliseum, Seattle When: July 9th 1974 Why: The First Reunion Setlist: [37] Love The One You’re With [12] Wooden Ships [101] Immigration Man ‘Cowgirl In The Sand’ [3] Change Partners ‘Traces’ [136] Grave Concern [6] Black Queen [29] Almost Cut My Hair [46] Ohio [10] Suite: Judy Blue Eyes  [11] Helplessly Hoping [20] Blackbird ‘Human Highway’ [133] Prison Song [169] As I Come Of Age [173] Carry Me [268] He Played Real Good For Free [13] Guinevere [92] Southbound Train [140] Another Sleep Song [33] Our House [30] 4+20 [4] Know You Got To Run [78] Word Game ‘Love Art Blues’ [206] Long May You Run ‘A Man Needs A Maid’ [157] Don’t Be Denied [168] First Things First [23] Déjà vu [164] My Angel [20] Pre-Road Downs [163] My Favourite Changes [19] Long Time Gone ‘Revolution Blues’ [159] Pushed It Over The End [173] Carry Me [57] What Are Their Names? [69] Chicago
While the rest of the world assumed that was it for CSNY when they announced their split in 1970 (this was the era before bands got back together again as a matter of course), they knew differently. It wasn’t that they couldn’t work together, just that it was getting harder and the sessions for ‘Déjà vu’ had led them to need to escape each other for a time. They regrouped slowly, in twos and threes, by guesting at each other’s shows across 1972 and 1973 before a full reunion at a Manassas gig at the Winterland in 1973. We’ve detailed this elsewhere as it’s a stunning moment for the audience who have no idea when they come back for a second set that instead of half an hour of Chris Hillman and banjos they’ve actually got CSNY with the pressure off them for the first time, previewing new songs and bringing out a couple of favourite oldies. An enterprising fan even filmed it for posterity and very good it is too (stuff pricey box set CSNY ’74, ‘CSNY ‘73’ is the live single disc I really want to see in the shops!) However as space is limited we’ve gone for the first billed comeback gig, because back in the days when fans assumed CSNY would never share the same stage again it was a big deal to actually have the concert ticket in your pocket and see those names on the same bit of paper again. Though history has forever labelled this the ‘doom tour’ and individually at different times CSNY all complained of their poor performances (though nobody was saying this in promotion for the box set I noticed!) the tour started on a high note. For starters the audience had sat through not the usual run of the mill nobodies but Joni Mitchell and The Beach Boys, both acts at particularly interesting and inventive points in their career. The group are in a unique position with nothing new to promote (just the greatest hits set ‘So Far’). When CSNY hit the stage they didn’t just play a few songs but virtually everything from their first two albums including songs not performed in 1969 or 1970 and a ridiculously big bag of songs from the intervening solo years with mass harmonies for the first time. There are lots of new songs heard for the first time too, many planned for the ‘Human Highway’ album that only got as far as two songs and an album cover before the rows broke out again. In total nine songs are sung which the audience would never have heard before – three of Neil’s they never will again past the end of the tour until the release of the ‘CSNY ‘74’ set forty years later. July 1974 was also a very interesting time politically and in retrospect feels almost as if the quartet planned it – they broke up in America’s worst hour with the ‘Ohio’ assassinations and returned for the Watergate victory lap as the hated Nixon was all but forced out of office (he’ll resign on August 8th). The quartet precede tonight’s performance of ‘Grave Concern’ with a unique skit about what has happened to politics since they’ve been away (why oh why was this cut from the box set?!?) Originally planned to end somewhere before midnight, the band are having such fun they don’t get off stage until 1.30am, closing the show with a choral chant version of Crosby’s solo ‘What Are Their Names?’ that won’t be heard again until the ‘Freedom Of Speech’ tour in 2009 that somehow ends up segueing into ‘Chicago’. The longest show any variations of CSNY ever played, with forty songs the most they will ever manage, it may also be the quartet at their best with all worries about whether they could ever reignite the magic of their early days disappearing as soon as the opening song.


5) Where: Oslo Spectrum, Norway When: October 11th 2015 Why: Final Gig? Setlist: [30] Carry On [18] Marrakesh Express [19] Long Time Gone [60] Military Madness [256] Southern Cross [22] Cathedral [33] Our House [23] Déjà vu ‘Bluebird’ [11] Helplessly Hoping [456] Back Home ‘Somebody Home’ [13] Guinevere ‘Virtual World’ [69] Chicago [29] Almost Cut My Hair [12] Wooden Ships [27] Teach Your Children [10] Suite: Judy Blue Eyes 
This is, at the time of writing, CSN’s final ever gig (their last as a quartet being one of Neil’s Bridge Show Benefit Concerts on October 27th 2013). Never say never of course – we have all been here before, you might say – but what with Crosby insulting Young and Nash insulting Crosby in his autobiography it would take a lot for the quartet to get back together again (or maybe just a victory dance on trump’s grave a la Nixon’s?!?) A career that started with such a bang (certainly by their second gig) feels a little like it ended with a whimper. By 2015 CSN haven’t released a studio album in eleven years and they’ve been all but forgotten, with their attempt at a ‘songs we wished we’d written’ album with Rick Rubin being abandoned for good in 2013). By then the group that were once top of the bill at the biggest rock festivals are reduced to playing medium sized arenas across Europe and were struggling to fill those from the UK gigs I went to. By now they’ve become a streamlined band and something of a family firm with David’s son James Raymond on keyboards  and Nash’s future writing partner Shane Fontayne on guitar. There are still moments of magic though, especially when the band step out of their well-worn comfy slippers and stick their rock and roll shoes back on, with occasional bootlegs and youtube videos demonstrating some interesting takes on songs like Buffalo Springfield’s ‘Bluebird’ (Stills’ song for Judy Collins revived now the pair are getting friendly again, now complete with CSN harmonies) and fascinating new songs like Stills’ acerbic ‘Virtual World’ (previewed from the next year’s Rides album) and Nash’s atmospheric ‘Back Home’ (previewed from the next year’s ‘This Path Tonight’). Alas though some things never change, with old warhorse ‘Military Madness’ dusted off for yet another needless war, while sadly the set’s opening cry that ‘love is coming to us allllllll!’ is premature, to say the least. That’s what CSN were here to do though, to bring comfort in times of darkness and their younger selves would surely have been porud that forty-six years later their shows remained so true to their early principles (even if they would no doubt be horrified to still be singing so many old songs – and having to retrace their steps over so many old subjects of racism and intolerance that should have been long over and dealt with). This gig is a good microcosm of CSNY at yet another crossroads in their life, pulled by the weight of the past but also the lure of the new and it ends the only way it could and where it (ever so nearly) began, with a show-stopping performance of ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’. This means that the last words CSN ever sang on stage together appear to be ‘doo doo doo doo doo doo, dit doo doo doo doo doo doo’. And strangely fitting they sound too!

THREE KEY COVER VERSIONS: 


Sometimes when artists pick up that musical baton they pay tribute to their heroes by covering their favourite songs. Here are three covers that we consider to be amongst the very best out of the ones we've heard (and no we haven't heard them all - do you know how many AAA albums out there are out there even without adding cover songs as well?!) There aren’t as many CSN covers out there as you might expect for such a legendary band. The few that are seem to really like [10] ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’ for some reason, which is odd as it is CSN’s longest song and perhaps one of their most personal, inexplicable to anyone who hasn’t been following the Stephen Stills love story! Nobody quite gets it right either. There are just two ‘tribute’ albums around too for the trio, both of them instrumental bluegrass records – ‘Pickin’ On CSN’ comes in two volumes and is nice if you like that sort of thing (although to be honest it’s a style that works better with the Byrds given that lyrics and harmonies are two of the main features of CSN songs!) As Crosby’s always said, people don’t seem to cover his songs very often, preferring to go with Stills or Nash!


1)  [18] Marrakesh Express (Stan Getz, ‘Marrakesh Express’ 1970)


Crosby must have been thrilled when he heard one of his jazz idols was putting together an instrumental version of a song from the first CSN album and naming his album of ‘contemporary’ covers after it too. I wonder what he thought when he discovered it wasn’t one of his own jazz-influenced songs but Nash’s poppy single? Actually Stan plays it well, really getting under the skin of this song’s Eastern Moroccan influences and offers up a lovely free-flowing vibe that sounds like a carnival, perfectly in keeping with the ‘escape’ theme of Nash’s lyrics. The closing jam section, played on an organ on the original, sounds mighty good when played on trumpet over and over. The orchestrator and conductor, incidentally, was Richard Hewson whose next project will be ‘Thrillington’, the instrumental version of Paul McCartney’s ‘Ram’.
2)  [12] Wooden Ships (The Ides Of March, ‘Vehicle’ 1970)
Another near-contemporary cover was this song by the 1960s Chicago band, who had branched out from Hollies-style pop into something more prog rock by the time the first CSN album came out. Scoring their biggest hit single that same year (‘Vehicle’), they re-shaped their sound to seem bigger in every way, extending their running times to become lengthy Dead-style jams and adding a horn section. This is a failure more times than it’s a success, but ‘Wooden Ships’ is a song that suits being big (it is, after all, about nuclear annihilation!) and it sounds marvellous here. A lengthy ‘duh-duh-duh’ opening ratchets up the tension as if its nuclear Armageddon time until two minutes in the tension suddenlt explodes and we get the familiar opening from the CSN arrangement (but minus the morse code and full of something sleepier). This version features three cross-over voices not two, incidentally, though the Nash-style harmonies on the chorus suggests the band have learnt their recording from the CSN version rather than the even sleepier Jefferson Airplane cover (skipped as we talk about it so much in our Jefferson book). There’s a terrific guitar solo in the middle that twirls rather than howls as per Stills’ and the urgent tension from a repeat of the riff works remarkably well. There’s even a drum solos, which Dallas Taylor must have been itching to play! Those cheeky blighters in the band title this riff ‘Dharma For One’ and co-credit the song to this, receiving half-royalties on the track. They probably figured CSN were so rich at the time they wouldn’t notice!
3)  [11] Helplessly Hoping (The King’s Singers, ‘Simple Gifts’ 2008)
I love The King’s Singers, the most ‘hip’ of all the ‘square’ Conservative bands around. They were even more eclectic than CSN, covering everything in their half-century-and-counting career from the oldest of Madrigals to the most serious of operas to the silliest of comedy songs to the sweetest of pop songs. They even turn up backing Nash’s replacement Terry Sylvester on his eponymous debut solo record and as the Frog Song Chorus on Paul McCartney’s ‘We All Stand Together’. With their snazzy barbershop harmonies they were always going to favour bands who did similar things and their take on one of CSN’s most beautiful songs is gorgeous. There are no instruments, everything is sung a capella, with pinging vocals masquerading as the guitar as the tune hops between all members of the sextet before those full on harmonies sing the main song pretty darn close to the original. I wonder how many people, on hearing this buried in the middle of one of the band’s more eccentric CDs (and their best, check out gorgeous folk song ‘Black Is The Colour’ too!) went to check which Victorian poet wrote these words – Stills’ stately song certainly has more in keeping with their work by Thomas Tallis and Henry Purcell (he gets your songs whiter than white!) than it does with the other pop songs on the record. With a sense of the vulnerability and hurt pride of the album recording, this is more than just intellectual rock too, with  one of CSN’s best songs given one of their best treatments. A treasure.
