Crosby, Stills, and Nash at Tollwood
1 July 2013
A wonderful night under the big tent with three of the all-time greats. As Graham Nash said at the very beginning, “May well be that we are older than most of you. But we are not dead!” With that, a huge cheer rose from the crowd and the band launched the show with “Carry On/Questions” and continued through two sets worth of material that combined new and old in a seamless way.
Stephen Stills, always a guitar god, took it even further on the big white hollow-body Gretsch and seemed to be having a great time doing it. Graham hit the high parts, and when he, and the others in turn, had a tough time with notes more than forty years old, they somehow made it work.
The terrific five-piece backing band — which Nash notably described as “the finest band we’ve ever played with” — included Steve “Stevie D.” DiStanislao on drums, Kevin McCormick on bass, Shane Fontayne on guitar, and David Crosby’s son James Raymond on keyboards.
A spirited version of “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” ended the show, with the crowd happily standing, dancing, singing, ”do do do doo-ing” and remembering a time much different than now.
David Crosby was the highlight of the show - looking other-worldly with his wild white hair, breeze-blown in the smoky stage lights. Graham and David harmonizing on Guinnevere is as good as it gets.
