 Seemingly, their beliefs are not eskewed by age or cash, | |
| I saw Crosby & Nash just last night in Manchester, the 21st February 2005 and for some, the dates matter and equally, the dates for others don't matter but when harmony is needed and all you really need is a reminder that beliefs & music do matter and can be a reminder of our stupidity and courage and pathways when music just had to be a balm, no matter what, we might buy this and remind ourselves that others are there. | |
| WELCOME TO A DREAM CAME TRUE | |
| I'VE SEEN MANY C,S & N PERFORMANCES, BUT THIS IS THE BEST, THEY DON'T NEED A BIG PARAFRENALLIA, JUST THEIR VOICES, CROSBY AND NASH SOUND LIKE ANGELS, AND STEPHEN'S GUITAR ROARS LIKE A WILD LION.
THIS GUYS ARE REALLY AMAZING, THE BEAUTIFUL HARMONIES SHOW THAT TIME IS NOT AN ENEMY,AND THE EXPERIENCE'S NOT AN ACCIDENT. ALTOUGH THE CONCERT IS NOT COMPLETELLY ACOUSTIC,IT'S A REAL DREAM CAME TRUE TO HEAR THEM SINGIN' WITHOUT A BACKUP BAND AND I THINK THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ENJOY THEIR TALENTS. | |
 Disappointing... Luckily Graham Nash saves the day | |
| I had great expectations from this DVD. The song selection was (and is) excellent, "Acoustic" is the guys' second name and there was no reason to doubt the audio quality of their exceptional vocal harmonies.
Yet, the result is far from satisfactory considering the potential of such concert. Four major drwbacks: 1. It is not exactly 'acoustic'; Excluding a couple of songs Stills plays only electric guitar and though in some cases it does fit (Just a song before I go) in others (For what it worth) it's out of place 2. The vocal harmonies are lost in an annoying echo created probably by the acoustic structure of the concert hall and not the actual audio editing; still the result - when they get to high pitch - is annoying 3. There are some tedious pieces that go on and on and are very boring and don't develop; Mainly "Wooden ships" followed by "Judy blue eys", each almost 10 minutes of very poor arrangement. They could do much better - and shorter... 4. The song sequence is uneven: The opening (Deja Vu) is quite bad, but then it recovers and improves (mainly due to the density of Nash's pieces - see below) and is pretty even until it gets to "Wooden ships". The closing part is OK as well, but I assume most people will jog between songs Still, there's one person who stands out and not only because he looks much better than his 2 fat and sweaty colleagues: Graham Nash's pieces are all good and above, especially when he's at the piano, and for those (like myself) who see him as the band's main musical figure - this does makes this DVD - despite the flwas - worth buying. | |
