Woodstock '94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, NY, 8-12-1994 to 8-14-1994 - Day 2, Part 11: Crosby, Stills & Nash

The eleventh album from Day Two of the Woodstock '94 Festival is a set by Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN).

CSN were one of the stars of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, playing then with Neil Young as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It was reported that the promoters of this festival offered Young a large amount of money to reunite with CSN and play this festival. CSNY had last played a concert together in 1991, and wouldn't do so again until 2000. However, Young objected to the commercialization of the festival, for instance there were corporate sponsorships by the likes of Pepsi and Apple. He also felt it besmirched the reputation of the original Woodstock. So he refused to participate.

CSN was promoting their 1994 album "After the Storm," which by coincidence was released on August 16th, just a couple of days after this concert. That album was not well received. In my opinion, it was too slick and overproduced. They played five songs from that album (tracks 8, 12, 14, 16, and 20). In my opinion, the songs sound a lot better here, where the overproduction was largely avoided.

John Sebastian, the main singer-songwriter from the 1960s band Lovin' Spoonful, introduced CSN. He also played harmonica on the song "Deja Vu," just as he did on the original recording. He would have his own set at the festival a day later. An interesting fact is that Sebastian was strongly considered as a potential addition to CSN in 1969, but ultimately Neil Young was chosen instead.

This album is an hour and 24 minutes long.
