Jul 9, Previous concerts. Thumbs up from this reviewer on a great show. Bottom line! Together they make music magic! I only hope they choose to tour again…… and again……. Note: Professor Turnbow may be reached at: Email: etcosmic yahoo. Never Mind that this concert was supposed to happen on Friday March 15th, Neil Young, the man who asked to regroup for a second CSNY tour in the last thirty some years, got the flu.

This worked out perfect or is reviewer, Mr. You voted in the leaders that voted for war along with Bush, now you cry like babies on the playground "he lied". Here's a solution that is implicit in the current tour: Since the rationale for the war was flawed and the outcomes are not as anticipated, there should be a reevaluation of the political leadership responsible for those mistakes. This reevaluation can be made by the electorate this November, and hopefully will produce a shift in leadership of at least one house of congress.

In the current Single Party State we have, there is no possibilty of a change of leadership at the Pentagon and certainly no constraints on an Administration convinced of it's inerrancy, despite obvious facts to the contrary.

That's probably the best that can be hoped for in the short term, as there will not be a change in the White House for another two years. Unfortunately, George Bush gambles like a wealthy man. Despite the evidence in his hand, he tries to bluff his way with even bigger bets. He can be reckless like this because he has nothing to really lose.

This attitude seems to be prevalent now, except it's a game played with bodies. Iran could be his next big wager. Continuing on the same dumb course is to be compounding folly. Stop digging the hole! What some of the people who posted anti-Neil comments about the concert don't seem to get is that Neil is a performance artist.

The tour is titled the "Freedom of Speech Tour. Part of the point of the concert was to push some buttons and make people uncomfortable. Neil did the same thin with Greendale.

Freedom of Speech is a precious right that we need to preserve. I saw the concert in Fresno, California. We've had on-going problems here with police surveillance of anti-war and environmental organizations. Let's be clear: No one on this forum or in the band wants terrorism to flourish in the 21st century. They are hardly lefties or hippies.

Sell your tickets. The crowd I knew at the opening show ran the gamut politically from leftist Luddite pacifism to tax cut loving, business owning Republicans - they all enjoyed the show. Anyway, let's not be throwing stones at CSNY - enjoy the music.

Try to comprehend the message. Just like always. For what its worth: What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Traveled many miles to concerts over the years, 4 times at 4 venues for Greendale, attended the Heart of Gold filming in Nashville last summer.

Have damn near everything the boys have recorded. Was in the Army while Woodstock was happening 37 years ago today. I know my roots. I will miss this tour on even though it will take place about 5 miles from my house. Unfortunately the proceeds will not be donated to help those who have gave so much to protect our freedoms from the maniacal onslaught we face today. These great heros deserve at least as much respect as family farmers.

This concert too much sorrow. Let me make this clear, once and for all, to all you Liberals. Read this REAL close You are simply wrong about the issue. You don't have the feintist idea on defense, how it works, or what it costs. You know nothing about military history. Jeff - It's very sad to see your comment that Neil "has become an unkowing tool from the extreme left who do not have any idea how the world operates". Are you kidding, man? How old are you, 18? If you're any older than high school age, it would be fair to label your comment "pathetic" How would you feel if you - whom we know nothing about - were called an "unknowing tool of the extreme right", which wouldn't understand patriotism or American freedom if they came up and kissed it on the lips?

If you're so enamored of the Iraq War, dude, sign up, ship out to Iraq, and stop your whining We could be in Iraq for the next 25 years and nothing there will change. If you're upset with Neil's message, while you're fighting in Iraq,listen to Toby Keith on your iPod and soothe your soul Yo Jeff - can't tell if your post is a feint attack or a feint retreat!

Let's agree to be civil - not a hippie value, but a universal one shared by all people of good will. I fear that we are more likely facing Pyrrus's dilemma after Heraclea - creating the very enemy we seek to vanquish. Both write clearly, are good scholars and decorated commanders who saw significant action in the post WW2 arena.

OK - one last point. Oh, well - he's a maverick, an original, with his "own row left to hoe. At least I do. I was at Atlanta 5th row floor, center - and came into those comp tickets just the day before. What a night! I'm building iTunes playlists of each set of the night and can't find anywhere on iTunes "Southbound Train" and "Treetop Flyer.

Thanks much Crosby and Nash had the best harmonies i've heard them have in the past couple of years and Stills was blazing on the guitar. However the highlight was definately neil bringing passion and energy to the songs. His guitar work on Military Man brought anger to a song that seems to have lost its meaning over the years.

It sounded like eldorado after he say "his hair was as red as blood". No encore because they played their regular set until and i think PNC has a rule about going past 11 but I dont think rockin in the free world could have been beaten so it was a great ending to a great concert. Finishing the three hour show with a crazed 10 minute rocking in the free world neil looked like a man possesed hunched over wailing on his old black guitar was worth every penny of the ticket price.

Understandably that there was no encore because the energy put into that final ballad could not have been matched by any encore they could have played save for maybe southern man. The only thing about the show that could ahve been better was that during the second set, there was a string of about 7 mellow songs which the audience recieved well but after each one you could almost feel how they were just dying for neil to explode with his booming guitar Suprsingly among the top 5 most best recieved and well done songs was "southern cross" and "helplessly hoping".

The guys voices held up and brought down the house. However, the two best songs of the night, aside form rocking in the free world, were almmost cut my hair and ohio. I am only 20 years old but Ohio sounded the way it surely must have in with stills and Niel really having the energy the put the vibe in the whole crowd.

Overall Stills had a muhc stronger performance than I anticipated, taking more than a few solos which I thought Neil would have leaped at but I think its safe to say that Neil was the hero of the night.

Finally, Crosby came through with an AWESOME version of almost cut my hair preceeded by his first set call for all of us on the lawn to "light up a fat one" Overall a tremendous concert, much better than CSN two years ago or Neil with crazy horse three years ago during Greendale.

Innaresting contrast between the views of the 59 year old and the 20 year old of the SAME show. I'll trust the young'un. Let Neil Young speak his peace! I have admired each of these men for over 30 years I am 49 yo and have seen Neil twice and CSN two times as well. I have floor seats at the Palace of Auburn Hills and am so looking forward to seeing them together!

For all of the right wing repubs, we can say whatever we please, anytime, anyplace HATED the show Shame on the band for allowing Young to play all his "war songs" for most of the first part of the show. Shame on the band for not remembering we, the audience, came to be entertained and didn't want to be a participant for "their agenda". They could have done more of the old songs and accomplished two things; keeping the crowd happy AND playing OLD war songs! I remember how smart I thought I was when I was I'll go with the old dude, unitl they reach Neil's Age.

RB - have you been living with your head in the sand these last few weeks? There has been nothing but news that this tour is going to be a vehicle for CSNY's political views, particularly Neil's, seeing as he just released a new album. If all you want is a rereading of past hits by ageing rock stars, go see an America concert. THey are four excellent musicians whose harmonies can still make the hairs on my arm stand up. They are all about rockin in the free world a world where it's okay to suggest impeaching the president or to cry out against an unjust war.

I only wish that the energy they gave the audience and the energy the audience gave right back to them could be harnessd to change and rearrange the world! Passion, politics and great music By: Keith C. Burris Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are a super group from the past. They are old men now. Young had brain surgery last year to prevent an aneurysm from killing him. Stills limps. Crosby just celebrated his 65th birthday.

And most people, as my wife said, think of their music as mellow tunes they played in their dorm rooms oh-so-many years ago. What listeners got instead was four hours of absolutely smoking music. The four played with all their hearts, and their hearts are large. Instead of getting older, in the sense of tired, the group has actually gotten better. There is more rhythm and edge. And there is the power of loud. To Neil Young, sound matters, and when loud sound is called for, it is really loud.

Forty years of musicianship make a difference. After decades of doing something, you either burn out or get pretty good at it. These guys are really fine musicians. Thirty years ago, people used to talk about Stephen Stills' guitar playing with awe - the way they talked about Clapton. Stills may be even better today. And they talked about the gorgeous harmonies of Nash and Crosby, when they sang, for instance "Guinnevere. Besides experience and craftsmanship, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young have passion.

It's not the grumpy passion of old men, but the pure passion of people who have really lived. They are at an age when the small stuff gets pushed off the table.

The specific passion of this tour is the anti-war cause. The group is very much about getting the troops out of Iraq. A few months back, Neil Young quickly threw together an incendiary "metal protest" album, called "Living with War," which empowered doves and enraged hawks. He wanted to tour in support of the album and he wanted to play with old friends Crosby, Stills, and Nash, so the four decided to combine purposes.

There was too much energy and joy in the singing and playing. To be sure, the whole night was deeply political, and some people were surprised and walked out. During a sing-along of "Let's Impeach the President," one lady marched to the exit with her middle finger aggressively extended to one and all - the remaining 7, who were singing and stomping along. I haven't said anything about Young yet. He was the obvious leader of the band, and yet he didn't dominate.

All four got a chance to shine. Crosby's version of "Almost Cut My Hair" was wonderful. Stills was an ironic bluesman all night, and his song "Treetop Flier," with Young accompanying, was a highlight of a night without lows. He moved like a kid on that stage, and like the American rock icon he is. He brought down the house with "Rockin in the free World," - it was visceral and raw and for a while it seemed like it would not end. Nobody wanted it to either.

Neil Young always gives percent. He is just a great, great musician and a great human being. The group played country, it played blues, it played pop rock and very hard rock, it sang ballads and its own hymns to peace and freedom.

I have never heard such a variety of music, such sustained musicianship on such a high level, such honest emotion, or such a community of passion, both for the music being played and the cause being backed. I don't think I have ever heard a better concert.

Keith C. Burris is editorial page editor of the Journal Inquirer, in Manchester, Ct. Are the people complaining about the political message at the CSNY show nuts? What did they expect from an anti-war band.

It would be like me going to a gospel concert and complaining about overt religion. Conservatives - Get a clue. To RB who said he hated the show, how in hell could anyone go to show with Neil Young in it and be shocked with it's content is beyond me. Those guys have writing political songs for years. Not only that the show was heavily advertised as such. All I can say is you can not be much of a fan if you were shocked by the political content of their concert tour. For myself, it was right up there as one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

Thrasher - I think this qualifies as music related, if not just post it on the politics page - thanks for all your work on this tour! I wonder if the many critics of Neil's new songs have listened to them. His stance is hardly the one being attributed to him by so many of the respondents here. Check out Neil on the Colbert Report www. Kinda like Woody Guthrie. You'll hear him say loud and clear "this war in iraq is diverting us from our real purpose: finding the terrorists and the terrorist leaders.

I saw the show at Hershey Park last night and thought that it was complrtly over to top. Neil Young should to go back to Canada where he came from. Funny, but I was at the same Jones Beach show on the 23rd and thought it was absolutely fantastic! Thousands of people leaving??? You should've stayed to hear the majority singing along with Let's Impeach the President. How could you not know about Young's 'Living With War' if you are such a fan. Heck, I knew what the song list is before I even went Was the first CSNY concert for my 31yr old daughter and she was impressed to the max.

Loved their tunes, loved the lyrics and loved what they stood for. Having been born in Canada and finally having papers to prove she is an American citizen, she was also able to register to vote They delivered the music, they delivered I say Keep on Rockin in the Free World Funny how someone could actually go to a CSNY show, who knows and appreciates their music, and not be aware of their political views. And funny that a true "fan", who would take the time to visit and write a comment on a fan blog site, would even be offended by their politicss, or even their write to say them.

Makes one stop and think that such a "fan" may not really be a fan at all. Maybe they are something else entirely. But, certainly not a fan. I am going to the MSG show tonight with ears and heart wide open to the poignant message these enduring artists will be conveying. Thank you Neil for carrying the torch! I saw them at Jones Beach on August 23rd.

Yes they were over the top, freaking fabulous! There were moments that were so moving that you wanted to cry. Even though I am a huge fan of the group, in particular Stills.. I noticed a few people in the audience sitting nearby who seemed shocked at the content Oh well.

I spent on my tickets It is a shame that the Beach can't get their acts together to get people in on time. I arrived early but was held up in a ridiculous traffice nightmare, then again when they frisked people going in the door. Why don't they have a bagless line anyway? The boys started playing before I even got in the arena They played about 35 songs, took a 20 minute break halfway through AND a Hypocrite. It does NOT make them any less fans than you losers you live and Breathe everyword these "Hippie-crites" have to say.

Was at the MSG concert last night - fantastic! Great venue to see them. No encore though, but it went from to with a 25 minute break. Great choice of songs. NYC appreciated the politics. Rocking in the Free World was the finale song. They're getting old - can't hit the high notes as well, but well worth the money. It made me want to go out and protest! Saw these 4 buckaroos last night at MSG Theater. They rocked and socked the rapture republicans and their leader the emperor with no brains real good.

Next agenda is to psychedelicize suburbia… - mashuganishi yogi. Yes, I know I should just ignore a negative troll but I have some time before work ; regarding.. I think of myself as a Big fan of Neils creative work and generally enjoy every new project he becomes involved in.

I really Love that He puts his whole into his endeavors and it always shows. He doesn't just do an "oldies" show and its why I always try to see him when he tours. To see what he'll do next. I guess I'm not that. I Love his older works, but am not looking to him to relive my "happy" past and forget about whats happening in my "sad" present. It was just a great theatrical and musical experience.

Still wondering about folks actually listening to the music - the pretense of the live performance, no? This all you can ask an artist to do, right?

Otherwise, he's just a Neil Young cover band. As for the notion some folks have that Neil is simply naive or a hater - remember "Leave the Driving" from "Greendale"?

Can't hate him for that. In fact, isn't that why we love him? What a night, absolutely magnificent.
