TimmyB Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have been a fan of all things Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young as long as I have loved music. I have seen CSNY eleven times, CSN three more times, Crosby solo once and Neil Young thirty-eight times total (including the eleven CSNY gigs).It was very disappointing when David Crosby and Grahan Nash only toured Europe in 2005 after their stellar 2004 Sanctuary Records 'Crosby and Nash' which was their first album of original material in nearly thirty years. Before the 2005 tour Crosby and Nash had only done a handful of gigs over the past couple of decades, usually on the west coast.Now finally these best friends that sing together like few others on the planet can are going to be doing a tour in North America as a duo again in 2007. Performing material that many will have heard on their recently successful CSNY 'Freedom of Speech Tour '06' Tour, yet also performing some of the gems that have been hidden from the stage from this side of the Atlantic (the Ocean, not their former record label) for far too long.Crosby and Nash songs like "Soutbound Train," "Immigration Man," "Carry Me," "Cowboy of Dreams," "Homeward Through the Haze," "To the Last Whale...A. Critical Mass B. Wind on the Water," "Taken At All," "Out of the Darkness," "Lay Me Down," "Half Your Angels," "They Want it All," and "Milky Way Tonight" just to name a few.Also the Byrds being my all-time favorite American band this Crosby and Nash show that I will be attending starts a great run for me where I end up seeing all three living members of the Byrds in less than three weeks. Crosby at the Allen Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio on March 25, Roger McGuinn at Rockwell Hall in Buffalo, New York on March 30 and Chris Hillman at Hugh's Room in Toronto, Ontario on April 11-12.I will likely never see these legendary artists perform on stage together, so to see all three play gigs so close to each other around the Great Lakes will have to do.I know I will be getting the Byrds from McGuinn and Hillman at their shows, I just hope that Crosby might perform something from the Byrds catalogue on that Sunday night in Cleveland, "Triad" perhaps? I have been lucky enough to hear Crosby play "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season)" with CSN back in 1996 and "Eight Miles High" with CSNY back in 2000 and 2002. Actually "Turn! Turn! Turn!" is the only Byrds song that I have seen all three living original members of the Byrds play.I'm sure I will make an effort to arrive in Cleveland early on March 25 and go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and see some memorabilia from these hall of famers before I see them live on stage for the first time as Crosby and Nash.Peace,Timwww.crosbynash.comAn Evening with Crosby and Nash 2007 Dates03.19.2007 Firelake Grand Casino Shawnee, OK 03.21.2007 Carson Four Rivers Center Paducah, KY 03.22.2007 Ryman Auditorium Nashville, TN 03.24.2007 Belterra Resort & Casino Florence, IN 03.25.2007 Allen Theatre Cleveland, OH 03.27.2007 The Bushnell-Mortensen Hall Hartford, CT 03.28.2007 Kirby Center for Performing Arts Wilkes Barre, PA 03.30.2007 Broadway Theatre Kingston, NY 03.31.2007 The Borgata Music Box Atlantic City, NJ 04.02.2007 American Music Theatre Lancaster, PA 04.03.2007 Mechanics Hall Worcester, PA 04.05.2007 North Fork Theatre Westbury, NY 04.06.2007 Community Theatre Morristown, NJ 04.08.2007 Merrill Auditorium Portland, ME 04.09.2007 Music Hall Portsmouth, NH 04.11.2007 Count Basie Theatre Redbank, NJ 04.12.2007 Grand Opera House Wilmington, DE 04.14.2007 Proctor's Theatre Schenectady, NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Jeff Pevar won't be touring with CSN this time around, and that really disappoints me. From what I understand, he was surprised (and likely disappointed) by that news, too.Please advise Messrs. Crosby, Stills, and Nash of my grievance, TimmyB.

What's with that?Jeff Pevar for goodness sakes!Wow - that’s just plain wrong. CPR are such a good band. One of them seems to be available here . If you have not yet purchased it do so now.

StoneMtn Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hey, thanks Mammoth! I only learned it was discontinued last weekend in Ottawa, when I walked into a major record store (for the first time since I can remember) to use a gift-card I was given for Chanuka.I think I'm going to order this, though. Love that Pevar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that Pevar!That's unfortunate, it seems on even David Crosby's official site you can only order the live CPR double album 'Live at the Wiltern.'CPR's self-titled debut album that came out in 1998 is an underrated and solid effort and their sophomore album 'Just Like Gravity' released in 2001 which is also good seem to be not available.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 the last tour stephen and neil were rocking out hard, while graham and david just stood there like dolls. i think i'll skip this one.That is what David Crosby and Graham Nash have always done and that's not going to change now that they are in their sixties.You go and see Crosby and Nash for their beautiful harmony vocals and passionate songwriting not to see them rocking out hard.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Not me. I wanna see Crosby break-dance. (Seriously, I don't know how much I'd be willing to pay, but it'd be up there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Seriously, I don't know how much I'd be willing to pay, but it'd be up there!)Wouldn't that cause serious ripples in the space/time continuum? Please, won't someone think of the gravitational wave researchers?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 ok they don't need to rock out hard. looking alive might help though i do love crosby but nash's voice has become irritating to me in my old age. Poor Graham Nash to many the least significant letter in CSNY and I am apart of that many. That said I still love Nash and most of his body of work. Personally if I never hear "Teach Your Children" or "Our House" again live I would not be disappointed as those songs have been performed to death. But in recent years at CSN and CSNY shows I have thoroughly enjoyed performances of such Nash songs as "Miliatary Madness," "I Used to Be a King," "Southbound Train," "Immigration Man," "Wind On the Water," "Cathedral," "Wasted On the Way," "Heartland," and "Half Your Angels."

TimmyB Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 From www.pollstar.comCrosby & Stills & NashUpdated 00:00 PST Thu, Jan 18 2007Long-time pals and bandmates David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, who spent last summer on the Freedom of Speech Tour with the fourth letter in their famous acronym, Neil Young, are heading out on the road again this spring in a couple of different configurations. All three will hit the road down under for nine performances of what's being billed on the trio's web site as "an intimate evening with Crosby, Stills & Nash." The tour launches February 17 in Perth, Australia and finishes up March 4 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Then it's back to the states where Crosby & Nash will tour in support of last summer's release, Highlights, which is a pared down version of the duo's 2004 album, Crosby Nash. An Evening With David Crosby and Graham Nash kicks off March 19 at the Firelake Casino in Shawnee, Okla., and hops around the country hitting 17 cities along the way before wrapping up April 14 in Schenectady, N.Y.

lara Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Have you guys read the Crosby interview in the latest Relix? It includes his feelings on wanting to relive the Byrds, this thoughts on George Bush (he calls him a hood ornament) and his hope to tour with Young again for the 2008 election. Very very interesting. I think Relix is getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very interesting. I think Relix is getting better and better.Thanks for the heads up, as I have not read that David Crosby interview as of yet.Unfortunately everything I have read when it comes to the Byrds reuniting is that Roger McGuinn does not want to do it. It is unfortunate as it would be great to hear McGuinn, Crosby and Chris Hillman sing together again, especially since all three still have amazing voices.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
