(Ravinia 8/22/10) Stephen Stills was blazing on leads, the harmonies still work, and the vocals of Crosby and Nash in particular were surprisingly strong. The best originals: Long Time Gone, Wooden Ships, Guinevere, and hold on -- Almost Cut My Hair (brought the house down - so to speak) and rightfully so. The covers were decent to very good with the Allman's "Midnight Rider" coming in the strongest.
I was a little let down by the Buffalo Springfield tune "Bluebird," which I had anticipated eagerly. I was looking for the wild abandon of the original (within reason), and there was no banjo. This one came across as formulaic. This was odd - as mentioned earlier - songs that would not normally match "Bluebird" for intensity surpassed it by a great deal.
Nice sing-alongs on Our House and Teach Your Children (which can bring tears to your eyes).
In summary - CSN did an excellent retro show. And they managed to give it a current feel. Most of that up-to-dateness was very good. The chords and harmonies on Guinevere were amazing. And the solos on Deja Vu were inspiring. Kudos to Crosby's son on keyboards. He sounds like a 60s guy. And the bass player was stellar.

I was left wanting more, more more! I forgot how amazing these guys are. They didn't disappoint. Crosby and Nash's vocals are as strong as ever. I'm hoping to see them again ASAP.
