a joint production of Oroboros and pkpotter

Oroboros:
pkpotter and I pmed a bit today and we thought this might be a fun combination plate for the CSNY fans. Given the passion and inspiration of this music both historically and currently, we thought that this vine would fit the bill. First on the menu will be a time trip to 1974 at Wembley Stadium (via DVD) and then the offering will be a 3 CD set from the most recent CSNY tour in 2006 .

The CSNY 'Then' show from 9-14-74 at Wembley Stadium (Wembley, Middlesex, England). This 2 DVD set is a 'freely traded' proshot (the video captured from on-stage cameras, which was then sent to the big video screens.) of that CSNY show. Consequently most shots are 'close-ups' with more infrequent 'wide shots' of the whole band, but on occasion we do see shots of the whole crowd in Wembley stadium going wild.

DVD I: Love the One You're With, Wooden Ships, Immigration Man, Helpless, Military Madness, Johnny's Garden, Traces, Almost Cut My Hair, Teach Your Children, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, The Lee Shore, Time After Time, It's All Right, Another Sleep Song, Hawaiian Sunrise, Star of Bethlehem, Love Art Blues, Old Man

DVD II: Change Partners, Blackbird, Myth of Sysiphus, You Can't Catch Me/Word Game, Suite:Judy Blue Eyes, Deja Vu, First Things First, Don't Be Denied, Black Queen, Pushed Over The End, Pre-Road Downs, Carry On, Ohio
This 2 DVD set includes acoustic and electric, and oh yes, Joni Mitchell sits in for harmonies on several of their songs :o}. (ah, 1974!)

The CSNY 'Now' show is a 3 CD set from CSNY's "Freedom of Speech '06" reunion tour (from an audience recording) on 7-23-06 in Fresno, California.

CD I-Flags of Freedom, Carry On, Wooden Ships, Long Time Gone, Military Madness, After the Garden, Living With War, The Restless Consumer, Shock and Awe, Wounded World, Almost Cut My Hair, Immigration Man, Families, Deja Vu

CD II- Helplessly Hoping, Our House, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Guinevere, Milky Way Tonight, Treetop Flyer, Roger and Out, Southbound Train, Old Man Trouble, Carry Me, Teach Your Children, Southern Cross, Find The Cost of Freedom
