Speedy says: Believe it or not, CSNY has made only 2 appearances at Farm Aid, in 1990 and then again at the 15th anniversary show in 2000. We'll have that second performance for you later this month. 

This soundboard recording goes back 9 years prior to the first Farm Aid, capyturing the last night of  CSNY’s tumultuous 1974 tour at Wembley Stadium in London on September 14, 1974, 51 years ago today. The band, which has been driven apart in 1970 by tensions between the the four members, reformed in early 1974 to launch a nationwide tour. On opening night in Seattle, the band showed their total lack of planning, mapping out a 44 (yes – 44!) song set that they thought would last just a bit more than 3 hours. Well, at 12:35 am, 3 ½ hours into the show, they still had 9 songs to play. They plunged ahead, finishing the show, but that decision had enormous consequences. For future shows, some songs were trimmed off the set list, while others were reshuffled in the line up, pleasing none of the 4 band members. Tensions would continue to mount throughout the tour, and when it finally ended, so did CSNY for over a ¼ century. While there would be few special appearances, such as Live Aid in 1985, CSNY would not tour again until 2000! 


and as I have said before  rare that I get to thank folks for a gig I was at but this is an exception and Speedy excels here and whilst the CSNY boys and Joni were really very good, The Band blew everyone else away! But always nice to get a soundboard quality set so have at it . . .check my comments elsewhere and mostly on the Band’s set but that was a DAY of it fer sure! Know visitor Dell and others were there too

Can y a diggit? I think you can!

THis is great quality (for the time)

Dream Syndicate’s The Days of Wine and Roses

A 40th anniversary is sort of an odd date to celebrate with pomp and fanfare, which makes this overstuffed edition of the Dream Syndicate’s The Days of Wine and Roses exude at least a whiff of opportunism. And to be sure, History Kinda Pales When It and You Are Aligned is overstuffed: four compact discs, 260 total minutes of music, five different versions of “Definitely Clean” and seven (yep) of “That’s What You Always Say” (from the original record; the Down There EP version; a 1981 recording by the 15 Minutes, a band Steve Wynn formed with members of Alternative Learning; a rehearsal rendition and several live recordings—it’s a good song, but that’s a bit much, by any measure). Dream Syndicate completists and musicologists with big historical investments in the Paisley Underground will rejoice. What about the rest of us?
