this was by far the most political concert i've ever been to...they relaly supported Neil Young's new album playing like 8 out of 10 songs off "Living with War"

with all the huge flags behind the stage (American, Canadian, British, and Mexican).

the huge yellow ribbon banner (i think this signifies bringing the troops home/keeping them safe).

they deliberately fucked up the star spangeled banner many times (might have been a recording).

lets impeach the pres had video clips spliced between verses with bush speeches where he was contradicting himself the whole time. FLIP/Flop

during "lets impeach the president" they had all the lyrics on every huge video screen in the place for all to see...and these lyricsn are 10 times worse then Bushleaguer.

and the crowd was going nuts during all this...i went with my parents and my step dad is like 60 and lived through the heart of Vietnam...and he said that this concert brought back so many memories and this era is turning into the same thing as how Vietnam was and this is why CSNY's music is still so relevent today...


the last song of the 2nd set, Deja Vu said it all...


"And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know it makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground, hmmm
Do you know? Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you
We have all been here before, we have all been here before
We have all been here before, we have all been here before
We have all been here before, we have all been here before"

    Great show. Even my dad, who dislikes protest music greatly, really enjoyed the performance. Stills and Young's lead guitar playing was top notch (although Still's voice was pretty much shot), and Crosby and Nash's harmonies were still amazing. Great energy, 35 songs, over 3 hours long. It was quite fun.
    I believe the children are our future... unless we stop them now...
