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) well it sure as eggs is eggs ain’t no soundboard mind and as visitors BC and Joan have pointed out it isn’t the quality they expected from a soundboard and I get ya on that but parts are really very listenable so give it a whirl and see what you think . . . . . Almost Cut My Hair is really very good! . . . . . it is mixed however so . . . . . .you pays yer money and ya takes yer . . . oh no that’s right its free!

I have to disagree with you on this one Andy - if this is a soundboard then I am a tone deaf idiot!! I downloaded this from Speedy's site, sampled a few tracks and had to delete it. Even allowing for the fact it was recorded in 1974, it sounded shocking! Not one of their best recordings imho.
Oh you are SO correct and soundboard it certainly isn’t ! Sorry BC and Joan should have said and tried before I got it but for us completists it was welcome to have and at least try n listen - not as bad as I expected to be fair but as you say not a soundboard . . . sorry!
