Christmas Comes Early

If you are a music lover, you HAVE to check out the Concert Vault.  It features 300 complete concerts, from bands in their prime, all free to stream on your computer! 

Right now, I’m listening to an all-acoustic concert by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young that was recorded at the Fillmore East in NYC in1970.  From the website:

David Crosby - guitar, vocals
Stephen Stills - guitar, upright bass, piano, organ, vocals
Graham Nash - guitar, piano, organ, vocals
Neil Young - guitar, organ, vocals

This is the acoustic set on the fifth night of the legendary six-night run at the Fillmore East. The Four Way Street live album contains recordings from this run. This entire run of shows capture CSNY hot on the heels of success from the recently released Deja Vu LP and was during the group’s most prolific phase, as all four were working on solo albums that would soon define them as individual artists.

Highlights include the Buffalo Springfield gem, "On the Way Home," and a rare nod to Graham's past with The Hollies "King Midas in Reverse." David also sings "Triad," the controversial and unreleased song he recorded near the end of his tenure with The Byrds that was featured on Jefferson Airplane's Crown Of Creation LP. Material from the first CSN album is well represented, as are a few sneak previews from the solo albums then in progress. Neil Young's medley is also a wonderful sequence.

The acoustic set closes with a short but lovely rendition of "Love the One You’re With."

Simply amazing!
