Crosby, Stills & Nash

Greetings all,

For those of you in attendance at last night's Crosby, Stills & Nash performance, I thought I'd share some photos and a set list which, surprisingly, I believe did not sustain any impromptu changes. However, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Incidentally, Crosby, Stills & Nash was my first concert ever which I attended with my father in 1989. My lasting memory from that concert experience was seeing a lot of motorcycles. I wish I could remember hearing "Our House," "Helplessly Hoping," or "Teach Your Children," but nope, just motorcycles. Last night's show left a completely different impression, however. I heard the first set from the press office, and caught the first five songs of the 2nd set from the lawn, and was most impressed with their ability to seamlessly change instruments from one song to the next. Stephen Stills is probably the most accomplished guitarist of the three, but David Crosby and Graham Nash are quite adept at finger-picking, which was mostly evident during "This is My Country" and "Delta."

For additional perspective on last night's show, I'll refer you to a blogger colleague Bill, who publishes Shine Silently.

Talk soon,

Graham

  1. Graham, thanks for the mention of my site. I really enjoyed Monday's show. It's the second time I've been to Filene Center this month and my wife and I plan to make many more visits as it is a great venue to watch a show.
