Crosby, Stills & Nash
The DVD Collection
Before he was a regular on the American anti-sit-com Rosanne, David Crosby was a hero of the politically conscious whale-loving critical mass. Groups The Byrds (Crosby), Buffalo Springfield (Steven Stills) and The Hollies (Graham Nash) proved to be incubation platforms for these gifted musicians. Joined briefly by Neil Young (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) they touched on compelling issues with gutsy lyrics and outstanding voices. This three DVD exclusive collector’s edition will undoubtedly warm hearts. It includes two concerts Daylight Again (1983), The Acoustic Concert (1991) with a documentary Long Time Comin' (2004) containing vintage concert footage from their early days; there’s some repetition of songs, but that shouldn’t be perceived as a negative.
There are delicious moments on each of the DVD’s and the time lapse between them is sufficient to provide great insight into the developing maturity of these three very beautiful voices. Younger audiences may only know CSN songs from television advert soundtracks; this collection will provide an excellent introduction to one of the great folk/rock bands to hail from the summer of love. More than a nostalgic hit, this is a treasure of material just as relevant now as ever.
