Last Sunday night, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young returned to the site of the original [I was there. Amazing show.]Woodstock for a performance at the newly opened Bethel Woods
Amphitheater. Located on Yasgur's Farm, approximately a quarter-mile from
the site of the first Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, Bethel Woods began
hosting live music earlier this summer and will open a Woodstock Museum next
summer. Phil Lesh marked his recent appearance in Bethel by reinterpreting the
Grateful Dead’s performance at the original Woodstock.
During CSNY’s three-and-a-half hour, two-set performance, the quartet ran
through a selection of songs drawn from throughout its storied repertoire,
including most of Young’s new Living with War album. Deja vu: CSNY is tunefully political During a number of Young’s
new compositions, a video screen displayed the faces American soldiers killed
in Iraq since 2003. At the start of its second set, CSNY also offered a brief
acoustic interlude, including “Helplessly Hoping” and Young’s “Only Love Can
Break Your Heart.” The group closed out its set with an extended, horn-laced
version of “Rockin' In The Free World,” before encoring with an anathematic
version of “Woodstock.” link

Anyway, I am more into Neil then CSN. I do like them, but not as much of course. Bikers and hippies smoking pot all over the place. Did not have to smoke to get stoned! :)
Sorry about your ears.
