Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - VH-1 Storytellers, MTV-VH-1 Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 2-18-2000

The flood of VH-1 Storytellers albums continues. This time, it's a episode of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY).

In 1999, CSNY had one of their occasional reunions, putting out the studio album "Looking Forward." Like most later CSN and CSNY studio albums, it had overproduction issues and song selection issues, so it wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. But all four of them remained talented songwriters just the same. That can be seen by the two songs here from that album, "Dream for Him" and "Seen Enough."

Other than those two, all the songs were classics from the late 1960s and early 1970s. There was a mix of acoustic and full-band performances. This was one of the first concerts for the band's 2000 tour, their first big tour as CSNY since 1974.

As I've done with most of these, I had to do a lot of editing to fix the flow from song to song. For instance, oftentimes, the applause cut off abruptly, so I'd have to patch in more applause from somewhere else. I made an especially big edit for the song "Helplessly Hoping," which is why that one has "[Edit]" in its title. As this series usually did, it started part way through the first song. So I found a soundboard version from the band's 2000 tour, and used that to fill in the missing part.

This album is 45 minutes long.

I could have used a screenshot from this exact concert, but it would have been poor quality, based on a low-res video file. Instead, I used one from a concert in San Jose, California, on February 4, 2000, just two weeks prior to this concert.

Woodstock '94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, NY, 8-12-1994 to 8-14-1994 - Day 2, Part 11: Crosby, Stills & Nash

The eleventh album from Day Two of the Woodstock '94 Festival is a set by Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN).

CSN were one of the stars of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, playing then with Neil Young as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It was reported that the promoters of this festival offered Young a large amount of money to reunite with CSN and play this festival. CSNY had last played a concert together in 1991, and wouldn't do so again until 2000. However, Young objected to the commercialization of the festival, for instance there were corporate sponsorships by the likes of Pepsi and Apple. He also felt it besmirched the reputation of the original Woodstock. So he refused to participate.

CSN was promoting their 1994 album "After the Storm," which by coincidence was released on August 16th, just a couple of days after this concert. That album was not well received. In my opinion, it was too slick and overproduced. They played five songs from that album (tracks 8, 12, 14, 16, and 20). In my opinion, the songs sound a lot better here, where the overproduction was largely avoided.

John Sebastian, the main singer-songwriter from the 1960s band Lovin' Spoonful, introduced CSN. He also played harmonica on the song "Deja Vu," just as he did on the original recording. He would have his own set at the festival a day later. An interesting fact is that Sebastian was strongly considered as a potential addition to CSN in 1969, but ultimately Neil Young was chosen instead.

This album is an hour and 24 minutes long.

Various Artists - Children of the Americas Radiothon, United Nations Building, New York City, and Palace Theatre, Los Angeles, CA, 11-12-1988

Here's another big benefit concert with a bunch of different famous musical acts. But this one was unusual in a couple of ways. For one, it was held in two locations simultaneously and broadcast live over the radio. And for the other, it's quite an odd selection of acts. I like all of them, but it seems pretty random to me to have, say, Pat Benatar followed by Al Stewart, then followed by Midnight Oil, and so on, which is what happened here. But hey, it's all good music, with excellent sound quality.

This benefit concert certainly had a good cause, which was to fund non-profits helping poor children in Latin America. This was the second annual concert for this cause. I don't know anything about the first concert or subsequent ones. But we know about this one because it was broadcast live on the radio, and a bootleg recording of it survives.

I made many, many edits to make this listenable. The concert took the form of a radiothon, which is just like a telethon, except for the radio instead of TV. And if you're familiar with telethons at all, you know they're notorious for constantly asking for donations. That's what happened here. Between acts, and even during acts, there were emcees giving pleas to donate, with the donation phone number in particular repeated endlessly. Even the musical artists would sometimes mention the phone number between songs. I got rid of all that because it's all moot now, with the number obviously no longer working. I stripped this down to just the music and the banter relevant to the music.

I also did some edits to make this flow better. Oftentimes, as soon as a song wound end, the emcee's voice would come on with more pleas for donations. So I would patch in some more applause to give the songs a decent sounding ending. I didn't bother marking those edits with "[Edit]" in the song titles, 'cos I did it so much.

Some of the acts performed at the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles. Those were Jackson Browne, Midnight Oil, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY), plus earlier appearances by Graham Nash and David Crosby. All the other acts performed at the United Nations Building in New York City. Note that the crowd in Los Angeles sounds much larger than the one in New York City. I'm guessing only a few dozen were allowed into the United Nations Building for this, based on the clapping one can hear.  

The star attraction here was CSNY. They put out a new album in 1988, "American Dream," but Neil Young decided not to take part in a tour to support it. However, he did take part in a very limited number of concerts with CSN around this time. There was the Bridge Benefit in 1988 (which I have also posted here), the Bridge Benefit in 1989, and this. (There also were a couple more in 1987 and 1990 and 1991, if you want to go that far.)

It's quite possible that there was more to these two concerts that what was heard here. For instance, there was no introduction to the CSNY set, and I doubt they started with the new song "This Old House." It also seems odd that Midnight Oil would have been recruited but only played less than ten minutes of music. I'm guessing this is just the stuff that made it to the radio broadcast, and while music was broadcast from one location, we were probably missing the music taking place at the other location. If anyone has any more of it, please let me know.  

This album is two hours and 25 minutes long.

I found the cover image from some promotional art related to this concert. It's a drawing of all the major stars that took part. In the top row, from left to right: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In the bottom row, from left to right: Jackson Browne, Pat Benatar, Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil, and Randy Newman. The banner at the top was in the original, but I changed the text there, and added more text at the bottom. 

I couldn't find any actual photos from this concert, so I'm lucky to have found this.

No Nukes Concerts, Madison Square Garden, New York City, 9-23-1979: Crosby, Stills and Nash

The fourteenth album I'm posting of the 1979 No Nukes concerts is a set by Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN). I believe this is the longest of all the albums I'm posting for these concerts.

I previously posted a set by Graham Nash, from September 19, 1979. I'm not entirely sure, but I think what happened was that Nash performed solo sets for the first three nights, but then on the last night, he played as part of the CSN "supergroup" instead. This concert comes entirely from the Madison Square Garden show in New York City. CSN also played the Battery Park concert in New York City that day. But they seem to have only played four songs, and all of them were performed here as well, so I didn't see any reason to include them.

As a big CSN fan, I have long looked for a worthy concert recording from the 1977 tour, done in support of their 1977 album "CSN." However, I've only come across (very) partial soundboards. So this is probably the next best thing. Yes, it took place two years later, so the set list would have been pretty similar. Unfortunately though, they only played two songs from their "CSN" album ("Just a Song Before I Go" and "Cathedral"), leaning on earlier classics instead.

I ran into a problem with the song "Wooden Ships." By now, I must sound like a broken record, because the soundboard recording was missing a section. Something similar happened to probably a majority of the No Nukes albums I've posted. Anyway, like I usually did with these concerts, I patched in the missing bit with some of the audience bootleg. Luckily, in this case, the missing bit was just the first two minutes out of an eleven minute song, and all of that was before the lead vocals came in. The sound quality isn't terrible this time, probably helped by the fact that there were no vocals on that bit.

I'm pretty sure CSN's set was the last one of the night, based on the length as well as the fact that it ended with a cover of the John Hall song "Power." Like other final encores of this song in the concerts, they were joined by other stars who took turns singing some of the verses. 

This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.

No Nukes Concerts, Madison Square Garden, New York City, 9-19-1979: Graham Nash

Here's another album from the 1979 No Nukes concerts. This one features Graham Nash, of the group Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN).

Note that although this is the second album I'm posting from the concerts, I'm not calling this "Part 2" or anything like that. That's because A) I don't know the order of performers each night from the four nights of concerts, and B) the albums are often compiled from sets that took place on different nights. So order them however you like. This, though, is a rare case of having the entire set from just one night, on September 19, 1979.

This concert is special in my opinion, because although Nash performed in zillions of concerts as part of CSN, he very rarely performed solo concerts until 2013. CSN was starting to break apart then, and he's become a solo performer after CSN broke up for good in 2015. But prior to that, he only did short tours in 1979-1980, 1986, and 2002. I suppose that, even though he wrote most of CSN's chart hits, he wasn't considered as "serious" or "heavy" as Crosby or Stills, so he wasn't considered as much of a concert draw. I could be wrong, but I think this is the only full set of him as a solo performer from the 1970s with soundboard-level sound quality.

At the time of this concert, Nash was working on a solo album called "Earth and Sky." However, it wouldn't be released until early 1980. Even so, the songs "Out on the Island," "Barrel of Pain," and "In the 80's" were from that future album. The other songs were generally CSN hits he wrote, although "Wild Tales" is from a 1973 solo album.

There's only one sonic flaw here, but it's a very noticeable. For whatever reason, the bootleg I found only had the first minute of the song "Chicago." But I did find an audience bootleg of this same set. That allowed me to fill in the rest of the song. It also confirmed that there were no entirely missing songs. But unfortunately, the sound quality of the audience boot is much worse. You will definitely hear the difference. If it bothers you too much, then just delete it. There's a CSN set coming later in this No Nukes series, and it includes a CSN version of "Chicago," so you won't be missing much. But still, I thought I should include it for the completist types out there.

The song "Cathedral" was released on the official "No Nukes" album. I don't know if Nash did other solo sets or not, so I don't know if that version is exactly the same as this one. Otherwise, everything else here is unreleased.

This album is 37 minutes long.

The cover photo is taken from one of the No Nukes concerts. However, I had a hard time finding many photos from any of these concerts, and I didn't find any from his solo set (or sets). This photo was taken from one of those big finales where he was on stage with other stars, but he happened to be standing apart from the others.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (with Joni Mitchell) - Roosevelt Raceway, Westbury, NY, 9-8-1974

If you want just one full-length Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) concert recording, I would suggest this one. Although there was a lot of drug and ego trouble between band members backstage on their 1974 tour, the four of them were peaking in terms of songwriting and performance. And as a bonus, Joni Mitchell sang backing vocals on no less than nine of the songs.

This was the last night in the U.S. of CSNY's ill-fated 1974 concert tour. They only did one concert in 1974 after this, in London, Britain (which was their only appearance in Europe). Due to the troubles mentioned above, the four of them nicknamed this the "Doom Tour" amongst themselves, and they ran wild with 1970s superstar lifestyle excess. But despite all that, they had many good nights on stage, and this clearly was one such night. They played in front of 80,000 people as part of an all-day concert with Jesse Colin Young, the Beach Boys, and Joni Mitchell as opening acts.

The fact that Mitchell was an opening act helps explain why she joined in singing on a bunch of songs. I believe she did the same for the Wembley show, where she also was an opening act, but I don't think she did that on the other dates in the tour. By the way, the day of this concert, American stuntman Evel Knievel attempted to jump across Snake River Canyon in Idaho on a rocket-powered motorcycle. That happened to be broadcast on pay-per-view TV during Mitchell's set, and she actually took a break from her set to watch it for a few minutes, telling the audience that she was going to go watch some idiot commit suicide. (Knievel survived, but landed at the bottom of the canyon short of crossing the river.) Neil Young made a comment about the Knievel jump before one of the songs he played.

Unfortunately, I looked for the opening sets, but could only find this bootleg with worthy sound quality (or, in most cases, any versions at all).

This is a soundboard recording, and the sound quality is excellent. There were only a couple of snags. For one, a tiny section in the middle of "Deja Vu" was missing, but it seems it was only a few seconds long. It was during an instrumental passage, and I edited it so the missing bit won't be noticed. Also, the last part of "Black Queen" was missing, probably a minute or two. This was more difficult. But I used the version on the album "CSNY 1974" to bring it to a conclusion. That's why those two songs have "[Edit]" in their titles.

Speaking of the album "CSNY 1974," that's an official album released in 2014 that features highlights from this tour. It was a big triple album drawn from ten different concerts, but none of those concerts happen to be this one, so I'm pretty sure everything here is still officially unreleased. Personally, I usually prefer listening to entire concert recordings instead of live albums drawn from lots of different shows. If you feel the same, I'm pretty sure this is the best show from the tour, as the few other soundboards are incomplete or have other flaws. (For instance, there's a soundboard recording of the Wembley show too, but it was considered a disappointing performance.)

As with all the shows on this tour, the concert was broken into three sections. CSNY was backed by a full band for the first part and the last part, while there was a big acoustic section in the middle. The acoustic section is roughly from track 16 to 36. Each member got to do their own solo spot. Weirdly though, Crosby only did one song, while Nash, Stills, and Young each did three songs. But the solo songs weren't always really solo, others often joined vocals, including Mitchell on a few.

By the way, Mitchell's participation is a bit odd in that I didn't hear any banter between songs thanking her or even mentioning her. It's very possible that banter like that got cut out. (This also was the day that it was announced that President Ford pardoned former President Nixon for his Watergate crimes. Crosby told that to the crowd during the concert, and the crowd booed. But that's not on this recording, so at least some banter got cut.) But what also is a bit unusual is that she came and went from the stage at least seven different times. I figure that she only sang on the songs that she knew well and had something to contribute on vocal harmonies, and those were randomly scattered throughout the long concert. I find it particularly interesting that she helped sing "Our House," since that song was written by Nash about her when they had a romance around 1970.

This is quite a long concert. This album is three hours and nine minutes long.

The photo used on the cover is from the CSNY Wembley concert a few days later (September 14, 1974). I couldn't find any good color ones from this exact one. I used this particular photo because it has Mitchell there with CSNY, and I thought it was particularly neat to see all five of them together. Neil Young's face was blocked by two microphones, but I did some tweaking in Photoshop so one can now see his eyes.

Also note that I found a concert poster for this exact concert. I based some of the cover art on the poster. However, I inverted the bright and dark bits to better match with the black background of the photo. I'm including the poster here, in case you want to see it. Note that the sketch in the middle was drawn by Mitchell, and was also used for the cover of the band's best of collection "So Far."

Graham Nash - Club Quatro, Tokyo, Japan, 11-21-1990

Last week, I posted a solo album by Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY). I pointed out then that he tends to get overlooked when compared to the other musical heavyweights in CSNY, but he's definitely been a worthy member of that group. So here's another solo album by him. 

This time, it's a full concert. For many years, he didn't do solo concerts very often, because he was usually paired with David Crosby in Crosby-Nash when he wasn't part of CSN or CSNY. He did do a couple of brief tours in 1973 and 1986, but it wasn't until 2013 when he started to tour on his own more often. This appears to have been his only concert in the year 1990. Judging from his comments between songs in this concert, he was in Japan mainly to show off some of his photographs at a gallery (since he also has a passion about photography), and this concert was a bit of an afterthought. 

But it's a lucky thing it happened, because it's one of very few Nash solo concert bootlegs with excellent sound quality. This must be a soundboard. 

Of course, it's always nice to hear Nash's songs in the context of CN, CSN, or CSNY, with vocal harmonies and often a full band. But it's also nice to hear them like this, stripped way back to just one voice and one acoustic guitar.

The only flaw came in the song "America" (a cover of the Simon and Garfunkel classic). It wasn't a flaw with the recording. Instead, it seems Nash broke a guitar string during the song. He had to stop briefly to deal with it. I edited the song to remove the interruption. That's why there's "[Edit]" in the name for that one. Also, I did a little cutting of dead air between songs, such as guitar tuning. And I boosted the vocals of his banter.

Note that the last song, "Try to Find Me," isn't actually from this concert. It was performed during a Nash solo spot in a CSN concert in 1991. But I've had this bootleg in my music collection for ages with that song added at the end, so I'm keeping it that way. I think it's a very overlooked tune. Even Nash overlooked it and didn't put it on any album for many years after he wrote it.

This album is an hour and five minutes long, including the extra song at the end.

Graham Nash - Live Acoustic, 2010-2016

Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and (sometimes) Young (CSNY) released a new solo album, "Now," in May 2023. It was such a low-key release that I didn't notice until now, two months later. To celebrate that, here's an album from him.

Nash tends to get knocked as the most lightweight and poppy of the four singer-songwriters in CSNY. And while that is probably true, he is still very worthy as a solo artist. I've fallen in that trap by posting solo albums by Crosby, Stills, and Young but not Nash, but I'll try to rectify that with this post and others.

Nash's last solo album came out in 2016 and was called "This Path Tonight." I think it's a particularly strong album, so you might want to check it out if you've missed it. This album largely focuses on that. The first five songs are from 2010 to 2015, and are generally acoustic versions of CSNY classics, with the exception of a cover of the Buddy Holly song "Peggy Sue." There's also an interesting version of the Neil Young song "Ohio," except sung by Nash. But the other nine songs were done in support of his "This Path Tonight" album, and mostly consist of songs from that album, though there are versions of "Bus Stop," which Nash did with the Hollies, and "Just a Song Before I Go" and "Military Madness" from the 1970s.

The vast majority of the songs here were performed by Nash for in-person radio station appearances. ("Peggy Sue" was done for a small audience at a museum, and "Mississippi Burning" is a "This Path Tonight" bonus track, and the only song officially released here.) As a result, the sound quality is excellent, usually on par with studio recordings. There's a little bit of clapping at the end of a few songs, but not much. I deliberately avoided any actual concert recordings to keep the focus on acoustic versions and to keep the sound quality high.

Nash wrote all the songs for his 2016 album with lead guitarist Shayne Fontayne. On the vast majority of the songs here, it's just Nash and Fontayne on guitars, with Fontayne sometimes singing backing vocals. Note that although "Mississippi Burning" is a bonus track, it sounds like it was recorded live as an acoustic duo in front of a small audience, so it fits in with the others.

This album is 48 minutes long.

Crosby, Nash & Young - United Farm Workers Benefit, Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 8-12-1977

Note that this is an unreleased acoustic concert of David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Neil Young of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY), but Stephen Stills was not there.

In 1977, Neil Young was not on particularly good terms with Crosby, Stills, and Nash. There had been an attempt to record a CSNY studio album in 1976, but it had ended acrimoniously when Stills and Young wiped the harmony vocals of Crosby and Nash and released their songs as the Stills and Young album "Long May You Run." Stills then reunited with Crosby and Nash and put out the very commercially successful Crosby, Stills and Nash album "CSN" in 1977. Young went to the studio with CSN and listened to an early copy of the album, and complimented the album and generally had a good time with them, according to an article I once read. But around the same time, he wrote the song "Thrasher" in which he harshly criticized CSN saying, "So I got bored and left them there, they were just dead weight to me." (Although he didn't mention CSN by name in the song, in a later interview, he said, "'Thrasher' was pretty much me writing about my experiences with Crosby, Stills and Nash in the mid-1970s.")

So yeah, it was complicated. Clearly, there was a love/hate thing going on. A big factor that hurt Young's relationship with the others was their excessive drug use, especially Crosby's cocaine addition, which would later turn into a crack addition before he cleaned up later in the 1980s. That too was referenced in "Thrasher" where he complained they were "lost in crystal canyons." Young would barely perform with the others until after Crosby got clean around 1986.

But this show is a rare exception. It was originally billed as a benefit show headlined by David Crosby only, co-headlined with the David Grisman Quartet. The first six songs do feature only Crosby. But Graham Nash publicly promised to be there, and he did show up. The show turned into a de facto Crosby-Nash concert for the next five songs.  But for all of the summer of 1977, Young lived in Santa Cruz and played many unannounced concerts at small clubs with his short-lived band the Ducks. So he was on good enough terms to join the concert for the last eight songs, including doing four written by him.

By the way, I found a mention that Stills also wanted to join the show, but he was playing a concert overseas. He tried to get back in time, but didn't make it.

Regarding this recording, it's only an audience bootleg. However, it's an unusually good one, which is why I'm posting it. It almost rises to soundboard quality level, but you do get some more crowd noise. It helps that it was an acoustic concert - a good recording becomes increasingly important with more instruments involved.

This is an excellent show in my opinion. It helps that it was a bit longer than typical concerts at the time, at an hour and 45 minutes long. It's heavier on Crosby material since he played the whole show, and lighter on Young's material in particular since he only was there for the final third. But it's great they patched things up enough to play together. I could be wrong, but I think the next time Young appeared on stage with them was at Live Aid in 1985.

Various Artists - Joni Mitchell: The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, D.A.R. Constitution Hall, Washington DC, 3-1-2023

Last month as I write this, March 2023, Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell was awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. A TV show of this event was filmed and broadcast a few days ago. That's why there now is an audio recording of it in excellent quality.

Mitchell is 79 years old as I write this, and she isn't in the best of health. In 2013, she had a brain aneurysm and nearly died. She had to relearn how to sing and play guitar from scratch. The good news is that she had made a remarkable recovery. She played a set at the Newport Folk Festival in 2022, and she's scheduled to perform a full concert in June 2023. However, for this show, she only sang for two songs at the end. The rest features other musical artists performing some of her best known songs.

I edited this down a bit. I kept all the music, but I cut out some extraneous material between songs. For instance, there were some extra testimonials about Mitchell by people who didn't actually perform any songs. Garth Brooks was one of them. As another example, there was a brief interview with Mitchell filmed at another time in which she was asked her opinion of jazz musician Wayne Shorter, who had died recently. There also were speeches and introductions by various people, including a bunch of US senators and other politicians. I cut all that out, and only kept comments by artists that were relevant to the songs they were about to play. I also included Mitchell's acceptance speech, which appears to be surprisingly brief, less than a minute long.

This album is an hour and three minutes long.

Crosby, Nash & Young - Sheriff Hongisto Prisoners' Benefit, Winterland, San Francisco, CA, 3-26-1972

Here's an interesting acoustic concert from 1972. Instead of Crosby, Stills and Nash, or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY), it features the rather unusual combination of Crosby, Nash and Young. It was broadcast live on a local radio station (KSAN), so it's professionally recorded and sounds great.

In early 1972, the various members of CSNY were arguably at or near the peak of the critical and commercial success. All four of them had put out solo albums on top of group albums, and all of those had done very well. Crosby and Nash went on tour together in 1971, and recorded an album as a duo, "David Crosby and Graham Nash," that would be released only a week or two after this concert. Neil Young released "Harvest" in February 1972. It would be his biggest commercial success. The song "Heart of Gold" was released as a single, and was well on its way to hitting Number One in the US at the time of this concert.

CSNY as a group was broken up at the time of this concert, but that was mostly due to problems between Stephen Stills and the others. Stills had gone overboard with alcohol and cocaine abuse, leading to megalomania so bad that the others decided to kick him out of the group in July 1970. That was exacerbated by the fact that Stills had been dating singer Rita Coolidge, who then left him for Nash. So maybe that explains why Crosby, Nash and Young played together in this concert but Stills wasn't there. (I know of only two other CNY concerts. I plan on posting one of the other two eventually.) The four of them would reunite in 1973, though that would be rocky, very much an on again, off again thing.

Crosby and Nash only played two concerts as a duo in 1972, both of them in the month of March. This one was because of a benefit concert, and I'm guessing the other one was as well. The cause in this case was a seemingly odd one for political progressives like CSNY, at least at first glance. The concert was basically to support Richard Hongisto, the elected sheriff of San Francisco at the time. I was curious about this, so I did a little research. It turns out that Hongisto was about as progressive as a sheriff could be in the 1970s. He was a colorful character who made many bold moves as sheriff, for instance hiring an unprecedented number of minorities and openly gay and lesbian officers, and openly advocating for the legalization of marijuana. He also worked to reform prisons and support more prisoner rights. 

Here's an interesting article about his fascinating time as San Francisco's sheriff:

Sheriff Richard Hongisto, the Notable Exception | History of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department (sfsdhistory.com) 

This concert was specifically to raise money for the county jail inmate welfare fund. At the time, the jails were in a terrible condition due to years of neglect and lack of funding. Hongisto drew public attention to this by going to work as sheriff for several days in tattered and torn clothing, because those actually were the clothes the inmates were issued at the time. The shoes they were issued deliberately had big holes causing all the toes to stick out, so one size could (roughly) fit anyone's feet. In light of all that, one can see why CNY thought this was a worthy cause for a benefit concert. Between songs, you can hear them talk about Hongisto and the reason for this benefit a little bit.

Crosby and Nash started the concert by playing three songs just as a duo. Then Young joined them and they did two songs as a threesome. Then each one of them took turns playing two songs while alone on stage. After that, all three finished the concert with three more songs (oddly, all of those at the end written by Nash).

By the way, Young didn't tour at all in 1972, despite having a both Number One album and hit single early in the year. This was the only full concert he took part in that year. (He made three appearances at other artist's concerts, playing only a few songs each.)

This album is an hour and 11 minutes long.

I found one photo of Crosby, Nash and Young on stage in March 1972. The credits give it a different date and location, but the very thorough Sugar Mountain Neil Young concert database only have Young joining Crosby and Nash on this date, so it must have been taken at this concert. Since it was a rather rough black and white photo, I tried to jazz it up by adding some color to it.

Also, while looking at the Sugar Mountain database just now, I found a poster for this concert, so I'm including it here for anyone who is interested.

Crosby & Nash - BBC in Concert, BBC Studios, London, Britain, 9-11-1970

So far, I've posted a ton of Crosby, Stills and Nash/ Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young music, as well as some solo Stephen Stills music, and solo David Crosby music, but nothing by the duo of Crosby and Nash. Since I'm posting a bunch of BBC material today, here's a great concert from them recorded for a BBC TV show.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY) broke up for the first time (though definitely not the last time!) in July 1970, at the conclusion of a US tour. This concert was recorded in London only two months later. The website www.setlist.fm lists this as the very first public performance by just David Crosby and Graham Nash as a duo, and in fact the only performance they would do as a duo until 1971. They would go on to record and perform as a duo off an on until 2015, when the two of them had a falling out that sadly still hasn't been healed as I write this in 2022. 

This is a great recording. The sound quality is as good as it gets, and the performance was spot on. Clearly, the two of them were bursting with creativity at the time. Only three of the songs were released  at the time - Marrakesh Express, Guinnevere, and Teach Your Children. The rest would come out on later albums. There's a lot of entertaining banter between songs as well.

The only snag with the album is that it's rather short, at 32 minutes. Probably that's because it was meant to fit in a half-hour TV show format. Various versions of this have been rebroadcast without "Song with No Words (Tree with No Leaves)" or "Right Between the Eyes" or both, but I made sure to include both. I would guess that more songs were recorded, given that the concert begins without any applause or introduction, and ends with "Traction in the Rain," a song that had just been written days earlier and not the kind of song to typically end a show. But often if songs weren't broadcast, their recordings are lost to history. 

By the way, I'll have a lot more from the various permutations of CSNY to post by and by. But this is the only music from them that I know of that was specifically recorded for the BBC. Also by the way, you can watch the full concert on YouTube.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Live at the Fillmore East, June 1970

A few weeks back, I posted a concert that was meant to gather up all the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY) live material from 1969 (other than Woodstock) that's in excellent sound quality. Here's basically the same idea, except for 1970. This is a big concert album - two and a half hours - that took a lot of effort to put together, so I hope you enjoy it.

CSNY was a volatile combination, consisting of four stars who had big egos and tended to use a lot of drugs. They broke up briefly in early May 1970. You can hear them talk about it some in their between song banter here. Then they would break up again in early July 1970, after the end of their short tour. Luckily, while they were still together, they decided to film and record their shows at the Fillmore East in New York City, from June 2nd to June 7th. 

Apparently as I write this in November 2021, there are plans afoot to put out a new release based on these Fillmore shows. But with the way CSNY aren't talking to each other anymore, who knows when or if that'll happen. This can tide you over until such a release hopefully makes this obsolete.

The Fillmore shows were the main raw material used in making the live album "Four Way Street," released in 1971. However, a few other concerts were used: three from the Forum in Los Angeles (June 26th through 28th) and one from the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago (July 5th). Luckily for my purposes, several of the Fillmore shows have emerged on bootleg with excellent soundboard quality. These are from the June 4th, 5th, and 6th shows. There doesn't seem to be any bootleg from June 2nd. There are bootlegs from June 3rd and June 7th, but they're audience recordings of only middling quality.

Due to what's available, I decided to base this mainly on the June 6th concert, since it was a particularly good one with particularly good sound quality, to my ears. But I've added in songs not played that night from the June 4th and 5th shows. 

But since they're so much overlap between this album and the official "Four Way Street" album, I wanted to make sure all the songs from that are here too. It turns out though that four of the songs from that album (including the bonus tracks) weren't even played during the Fillmore East run. Those seem to come from the Chicago show on July 5th (though one or two might have been from one of the Forum shows). There's no good bootleg of that show, so I've used the versions of those four songs from the "Four Way Street" album.

As I explained with my 1969 CSNY live album "The 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival and More," they've had a certain pattern to their concerts. The first set of the concert would be all acoustic. That would start with CSN doing a song or two without Young. Then Young would join them for a couple more songs. Then each of them would get a solo spot for a song or two. The four of them would come together briefly at the end of the solo set. Then all four of them would be together for the entire electric second set. 

I maintained this format. So I had, say, a solo acoustic Neil Young song, I knew to stick it in part of his solo portion of the acoustic set. The electric set didn't vary much, but the acoustic set did. As it happens, all of the songs from the electric set are from the June 6th concert that is the basis of this album. But I've bulked up the acoustic set with a bunch of extra songs from other concerts.

My main goal here was to make something that would merit repeated listenings. In addition to sticking to excellent sound quality, I did my best to trim the fat. That meant editing down the silences and guitar tunings between songs. CSNY were particularly chatty during this time period. There's talk before pretty much every song, sometimes for a couple of minutes. I tried to leave that stuff in, as I think it's interesting. I also did my best to boost the volume sometimes, because they didn't always speak closely into their microphones when talking.

By the way, on the subject of talking, at one point between songs, there's a mention of "wooden nickel," and then they talked for a little while about bootlegs. This is because by the time of this concert, a CSNY bootleg called "Wooden Nickel" had emerged and had sold a lot of copies, since there was no other live CSNY recordings available at the time. But, as they pointed out, it wasn't very good, mainly due to sound quality issues. The recording of the Fillmore shows and the release of "Four Way Street" later was essentially an effort to beat the bootleggers.

Another little point of clarity I want to mention is that at one point, Young mentioned the name "Halverson." That's reference to the fact that someone named Bill Halverson was recording the concerts to make a live album. So Young brought up Halverson's name as kind of a surprise joke, knowing that person was listening.

I hope that if and when an official Fillmore East box set comes out, they'll use at least one version of each song played at those shows. There are a couple that I couldn't include, because they were only played on the shows where there isn't a good recording. For instance, "Birds" was played on June 2nd only, and "Another Sleep Song" was played on June 7th only (and not bootlegged).

That said, there were a few particularly interesting and unique songs that I wanted to include that didn't have excellent sound quality. I did a lot of editing to bring them up to snuff, but one can only do so much. So I've included them merely as bonus tracks: "Bluebird," "Everybody's Been Burned," and "We Are Not Helpless." Although they don't sound great, I was able to use the sound editing programs Spleeter and X-Minus to make them sound better than they ever have before, in my opinion. For instance, both "Bluebird" and "Everybody's Been Burned" had big surges of applause at their starts when the audience recognized the songs. I was able to almost entirely eliminate those applause surges, and other crowd noise through the songs. By the way, each of those songs were only ever played once in concert by CSNY during that time period.

The cover photo is actually taken from one of the June 1970 Fillmore shows, though I'm not sure which one. It looks a bit like a composite photo to me, as if the four of them were pasted in from different photos. For instance, Young is in blue lighting and the others are not. But that's the actual untouched photo.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - The 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival and More (1969)

Here's something I'm especially proud of making. In my opinion, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY) peaked early. They formed in 1969, and 1969 and 1970 were arguably their best years. However, when it comes to live material, there isn't that much that was recorded with great sound quality. 

I've already posted the CSNY set at Woodstock, which is a complete, great performance that sounds fantastic. But other than that, there's only parts of shows that have soundboard quality. I've collected all the best bits (not counting the Woodstock stuff) to make a kind of ultimate CSNY 1969 concert recording. It's two hours and 24 minutes long, and it's killer all the way through.

Virtually no live CSNY performances from 1969 are officially released, other than the Woodstock show (which can only be had as part of a massive box set), and a few songs here and there. I ended up only using a single such song, "I've Loved Her So Long," from Neil Young's "Archives, Volume 1." For the rest, I had to rely on bootlegs. Strangely, there are five CSNY boots from 1969 that are soundboards, but all of them are partial shows. 

The closest to a complete show comes from the Big Sur Folk Festival. At first glance it looks like a complete show, but this is an illusion, because CSNY actually played twice at that festival, on September 13th, and then again on September 14th, and the popular bootleg from this festival combines the two into one. Even then, it's incomplete. For instance, at one point, there's a spoken introduction to the song "I've Long Her So Long," but the song isn't there. To make matters worse, some parts of the shows sound great and seem to be from a soundboard, and others not so much, and seem to be from a high quality audience recording.

In addition to Big Sur, there are portions of three other soundboard bootlegs. There are six songs from Chicago on December 13th, six songs from Detroit on December 14th, and six songs from Houston on December 18th. Weird, huh? And they're all different songs, though some are incomplete. After those, the sound quality drops dramatically, to just average or poor sounding audience bootlegs.

So I used the Big Sur shows as the basis, and then added in as many songs as I could from the other soundboard concerts to create one big concert containing everything really worth hearing (not counting Woodstock), without ever using the same song multiple times. CSNY was pretty consistent in how they did their concerts, dividing their shows in a first acoustic set and then a second electric, full band set. And within those, there was a natural order. For instance, the acoustic set had them doing some songs together to start the show, then breaking off into individual mini-sets featuring just one member, then getting back them all together again for a song or two before ending the set. Because of this, I was able easily add in the extra songs where they more or less belonged.

Where things got more complicated is with the banter between songs. CSNY was very chatty in this time period. They talked before virtually every song, and sometimes talked for a few minutes. I wanted to replicate this aspect of their concerts too, because it showed their personality and camaraderie. Most of the time, the version of the songs I used had banter that went with the songs, so I used those. But in some cases the banter was missing, or it had sound quality issues. In many of those cases, I was able to find banter from some other show. For instance, the version of "Wooden Ships" here comes from one of the Big Sur shows. But banter before it had lots of hiss and crowd noise. I found different banter from the Chicago show where he explained the meaning of the song in depth, with much better sound quality, so I used that.

I put a lot of time and effort into making the best cohesive sounding concert with the limited raw material I had. Because I was mixing sources, I had to work to make sure the end of one track fit with the start of the next one. I did a lot of editing to make sure a song wouldn't end in the middle of audience applause or something like that. I also worked to improve the sound quality as much as possible. 

I discovered a new trick with Spleeter, which is that for banter tracks only, the vocals are usually put on one channel and the hiss on another channel. So I can just delete the hiss channel, and I can get rid of hiss better than any other noise reduction type tool. (It only works for banter tracks, because if there's music, the hiss ends up on the same channel as some of the music.) One thing I couldn't fix though is that some of the banter tracks have a lot of echo and/or reverb, and other such tracks don't. That can vary from time to time, so just try to ignore that.

I'm happy to say that I managed to find nearly all the important songs CSNY played in 1969. If one looks at the setlist.fm list of songs they played that year, and how many times they played them, there are only a few I missed that they played more than once: "49 Bye-Byes - America's Children," "Find the Cost of Freedom," "Broken Arrow," and "How Have You Been." I got really lucky! (One of the soundboard sources did have "49 Bye- Byes - America's Children," but half or more of it was missing, so I skipped it.)

The Big Sur shows were unusual in a couple of aspects. One oddity is that, during the CSNY set, they brought up Dave Mason, who recently left Traffic, and let him perform two of his songs. They even backed him up on the second one. I'm pretty sure that was the one and only time CSNY ever did that, at least in the 1969 and 1970 time frame. I chose to keep those songs in, since I like Mason and they're good songs.

Also, the Big Sur shows were filmed for a documentary movie and soundtrack, which was eventually released with the name "Celebration at Big Sur." In the movie, you can watch a scene in which CSNY gets heckled by an audience member. Stills left the stage to talk up close to the guy, and ended up getting in a tussle with him. The bootleg included all of this scene, which lasted several minutes. However, I cut the whole thing out. The main reason is that the audio quality of that second was particularly poor, and it mostly was just lots of crowd noise. But later on in the show, when Stills had his solo spot, right before the song "4+20," he spent about a minute talking about the heckler and his response. I left that in, because the sound quality was much better, and his commentary was interesting.

In 1969, CSNY varied the songs they played during their acoustic sets quite a lot, but they played pretty much the exact same songs in the same order during their electric sets. The result of that is the acoustic set is super sized with all the songs I gathered from here and there. Whereas I only added two extra songs to the electric set over what they played at Big Sur.

A few tracks have "[Edit]" in the title. The only actual song I edited is the Dave Mason song "Only You Know and I Know." There was a missing section near the end. It was during an instrumental section, so I managed to patch it using another part of the song where the same section was repeated. I also did a lot editing of the banter between songs. Sometimes I cut out portions that were boring, such as lots of guitar tuning or prolonged silences. Occasionally, I moved things around to have the flow from song to song make more sense. I added "[Edit]" to the ones where I made the biggest changes.

In addition to all the soundboard sourced songs I mentioned above, there are two songs where I used audience boots as the source. These are two songs that I simply thought were really cool, and I decided the sound quality was good enough for them to fit, even though they do sound slightly worse than the rest. Those two are "Mr. Soul" and "Go Back Home." They're interesting rarities. If setlist.fm is correct, CSNY only ever played them twice. (However, there's a better sounding version of "Mr. Soul" in the Woodstock concert.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. The sound does vary from time to time. But considering the poor quality of most 1969 CSNY bootlegs, this is the cream of the crop, all in one plus (minus Woodstock, of course).

Finally, I was so pleased with the result I made here that I decided to do the same thing for CSNY's 1970 concerts. I've taken the best of the best recordings, mostly from the Fillmore East, to make one ultimate concert for that year too. Look for that to be posted soon.

As I mentioned above, the Big Sur Folk Festival was the subject of a documentary movie. I could have used some still shots from that for the album cover. However, the film quality was rather low-res and blurry. Instead, I found a few excellent photos of CSNY in concert in San Diego in 1969. 

But the problem there was I couldn't find a single good photo showing all four of them. So I used one with Crosby, Stills and Young as the basis. Then I used another one of the San Diego photos to crop out Nash and stick him in the middle of the photo. So yeah, it's kind of a fake, but consider that Nash was right there wearing those clothes with that lighting, just out of frame. I probably combined two photos that were taken at the same spot only minutes apart.

In case you're curious, here are how the two raw pics look separately. I didn't use the bottom one, even though it has all four of them, because Stills' head is turned away from the camera, and Crosby's head is partially blocked.

David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt - Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing, Santa Cruz City Park, Santa Cruz, CA, 8-5-1995

Here's an interesting concert bootleg: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, and Bonnie Raitt performing in different combinations. They were the headliners for a benefit concert that commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. It goes without staying those behind the concert were anti-war activists trying to make sure that event wouldn't be forgotten, so mistakes wouldn't be repeated.

This concert is relatively short, 49 minutes. But it stands out in three respects. One, although the four musicians here didn't do much at all with all four of them together, they did guest a lot of each other's songs. Two, due to the concert's theme, pretty much all the songs are anti-war in nature. (The one exception seems to be "Carry Me," but I think that was done because it was spiritual in nature, coming just after a silent prayer.) 

And three, the sound quality is absolutely fantastic, as good as it gets. The concert was broadcast live over the Internet, and it may have been the first major concert to be broadcast like that. (Recall the Internet didn't really explode in popularity until about 1996 or 1997.) It was professionally recorded for that reason, and someone must have kept an excellent copy.

However, I haven't seen this concert in the usual places one goes on the Internet to find bootleg recordings, so I hope this will help make it better known. It appears it was released on album in 2020, but it's one of those "grey market" releases where dodgy companies that don't actually have the legal rights nevertheless sell the albums at Amazon and places like that.

I've made some significant changes to differ from that version, though. One problem with it was that it included all the DJ talking between songs. And there was a lot. A couple of Santa Cruz DJs couldn't help talking most any time songs weren't being played or people weren't talking on stage. They sometimes talked over the musician banter between songs too, so I had to cut those bits when multiple voices were talking at once. Also, thanks to that DJ talking, and the resulting edits, there wasn't much audience applause after each song. So I made up for the lost bits by adding in more applause, using copy and paste from the few spots with a decent amount of applause. I think the end result is that it sounds like a normal concert, with the typical expected amount of applause after each song. 

I did some more editing on Jackson Browne's song "World in Motion," which is why "[Edit]" appears in the title. At one point in the song, he forgot some of the lyrics, and floundered around a bit before he remembered the next line and finished the song. I removed his flub. Also, further in the song, there was some kind of sonic glitch that resulted in lots of static, marring the music. Luckily, this was in a short section between singing. I was able to patch it up using another section of the song, so there's only a little bit of static remaining, hopefully not enough for you to notice.

Oh, and since I'm in a big fan of acoustic music, I also like the fact that this concert was totally acoustic in nature, just vocals and acoustic guitars.

I tried to keep in all the banter between songs as I could. Note that Bonnie Raitt actually is a very politically progressive person who has taken part in many benefit concerts for liberal causes, like this one. However, she pretty much has never included political songs on her albums. But she sang a couple of anti-war songs here, and also gave a min-speech about two and a half minutes long, which I gather is pretty rare from her. I've included the whole thing. 

David Crosby also made some anti-war remarks almost two minutes long. That led up to a silent prayer for the victims of the Hiroshima bombing. However, the recording I found had that prayer edited out. Probably a long silent prayer didn't make for good radio. So I cut out some of Crosby's comments near the end of his banter, since they didn't make sense referring to a silent prayer that isn't there.

There were some other musicians who played at this concert, but they weren't nearly as well known - Mary McCaslin, Homefire, RST, Blue Prairie, etc... - so I'm guessing they didn't get played on the radio. My source material started with the Jackson Browne song "How Long" without any intro, so that's how I've had to start it too.

The cover art photo is a bit of a fake. I found some photos of the actual concert in question. Unfortunately, the best I could find was three of the four big names together, not all four. The one missing was Bonnie Raitt. I did find a photo of her with Graham Nash, and another with Jackson Browne, and some by herself (all from this concert). So I used Photoshop to edit her into the picture I chose. That's the only change, putting her in behind Nash, the rest of the photo is exactly what you see here. And by the way they were all together on stage for the last song ("Teach Your Children").

The Hollies - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1966-1968

A few days ago, when I posted Volume 1 of the Hollies performing at the BBC, I mentioned that I only had three albums to share. I decided that didn't seem right, given how much I've found from similar 1960s groups, so I dug a little deeper and now have four. The first album is still the same. Here's Volume 2.

As I mentioned previously, there is an official BBC album for this band, called "Radio Fun." The vast majority of the songs here come from that. But four of them do not: "I've Been Wrong," "King Midas in Reverse," "Postcard," and "Pegasus." I don't know why those weren't included, because the versions here sound perfectly fine.

Also, similar to Volume 1, six of these songs suffered from the typical problem with these albums whereby BBC DJs talked over the starts and ends to some songs. But I fixed these using the X-Minus audio editing program, wiping the talking while keeping the underlying music.

The Hollies had a very important personnel change at the end of 1968, when Graham Nash left to group to join Crosby, Stills and Nash. I'm glad to say I managed to arrange things so the end of this album marks the end of the Nash-era BBC recordings. 

UPDATE: On November 27, 2021, I updated the mp3 download file. I added a song I'd previously missed, "Don't Even Think About Changing."
