5.0 out of 5 stars
Really great,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
These guys were absolutely NOT the lighter 2/4s of CSNY that the press kept painting them as during their salad days. Crosby and Nash's first live album is a terrific showcase of everything that made them a great concert draw apart from the mothership during the Seventies. "Immigration Man" fairly leaps out at you from the opening note, "Foolish Man" has Crosby doing some of his most soulful wailing, and the ace musicians backing the duo up (Russ Kunkel on drums, Craig Doerge on keyboards, among others) give a muscle and heft to "The Lee Shore" and "Deja Vu" that is thrilling to hear. Both men are in fine voice throughout and sound like their having a great time. This not only brings back a lot of memories, it stands up quite well without the nostalgia factor as a solid live document of two master musicians at their peak.

deja vu live,
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
I've always liked the sound of the band backing up Crosby and Nash in the seventees. David Lindleys slideguitar is always there. Good drumming by Russell Kunkel and also Craig Doerge piano and synthplaying is of great importance of the sound of the band. Maybe this band is the reason why in 1977 they (C+N) still function very good. At this point in time it's already an accomplishment that there were two of them (C+N)on stage.
The album is a real live album. You can hear some things are a bit rough compared to the studio-albums. The recording quality is not so good. But there are just a few bands that often visit studio's that have made live-albums work. Being there is most of the time better, probably because there's to much noise going on on a popstage to hear what's going wrong. Here you can hear a band that can really play: not just loud, but subtle too. The choise of the songs will only be original for the younger listener, who only buy the threesomes or foursomes of CSNY. Because I was about 5 years old when the album came out, the album, for me, has something more to offer. It gives an insight of the livesound of Crosby and Nash at that time and it (together with the CN studio-albums) helps understand why the album CSN is so good. At that time they were still busy making good music. And the new songs they were making (not present on this album) were still great to. The whole musical approach was. And that you can hear on this album. One listen to the version of deja vu can prove that.

Decent,
By "darkstar1011" (Ludlow, Vermont United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
Not bad...Considering David was based out of his brain and hadto keep taking breaks to hit the pipe.Probably the sweetest Lee Shore they've pulled off.There's a couple weak tracks but enough good ones to balance it out.If you're a true fan you'll like it. Foolish Man and Page 43 shine as well and also a good Dejavu
