Our Overview.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young need no introduction but what we have here is a stunning collection of clips from across their career 1969-1994. The set kicks off with some footage of the quartet in their prime in 1969 and 1970 and includes a cracking guest performance from Tom Jones on his eponymously titled show.
The band broke up after their 1970 tour to promote the album ‘Deja Vu’, but reunited in 1974 to play a money spinning stadium tour. The dates at Wembley Stadium were filmed and some of that footage appears here. They went their separate ways again after that tour and Crosby, Stills & Nash returned as the original trio in 1977. After a couple of albums Young rejoined for their 1985 Live Aid appearance. Some comments made by Bob Dylan during his set regarding American farmers under pressure led to Young organising ‘Farm Aid’ with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. Farm Aid became an annual benefit concert starting that year and in 1990, Young joined his partners on stage which is documented here. A final clip of the quartet is from Golden Gate Park in 1991. The DVD is fleshed out with some TV clips of the trio without Young on The Tonight Show and David Letterman’s show.
