| ... and
once again - the annual Munich Tollwood summer festival is almost over
with the result, that this time we were really lucky what's up to the
weather. The focus on the musical highlights was set on Rock Dinos, next
to all the other show acts. We had John Fogerty here, Kris Kristofferson,
also Roger Hodgson. And with Crosby, Stills & Nash we celebrate the
closing of Summer Tollwood 2010 - a great show down with a lot of
Woodstock feeling. More than 4.000 people have gathered in the music tent on this very last day. And you can see the pleasance in the faces of all these elderly fans, who have conciously experienced the Woodstock era. And tonight all these fans get a dejavu with the heroes of their youth including a coloured journey in time through all their hits. For all the young kids, who only know the name of this act, I want to explain briefly: Crosby, Stills & Nash, also known as CSN, inbetween also going for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - CSNY is a folk oriented rockband consisting of David Crosby (formerly The Byrds), Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield), Graham Nash (The Hollies) and later Neil Young. They are one of the very few rockbands, who reached a level of popularity like the Beatles in the end of the Sixties. Their carriere included many highpoints, but also quarrels, drugs, seperation and illness. But somehow the story never ended with and without Neil Young, who's got a very successful solocarriere for himself.
However, last year there
were new activities evolving with Crosby, Stills & nash, and the
yellow press took a profit with a new drugs report of David Crosby, who
is supposed also to be the father of Melissa Etheridges kid, composed in
a tube. Steven Stills suffered a serious illness, but is apparently well
again. And in 2009 the band released a new album entitled 'Demos' which
has got a compilation of demo tracks and unreleased songs. out of
CSN history.

| At this point Steven Stills is given a little rest, as he still makes some impression, as he ain't that 100% recovered. So Crosby and Nash are handling that bit on their own, followed again by a powerful final - all together now. And it is indeed Steven Stills, who shows so much skills on guitar, though his voice has got some weak points. However nobody cares anyway, because the whole event is just overwhelming with 3 Woodstock heroes , who have not forgotten their roots. |

| This here is
Woodstock
Feeling pure without any doubts. The audiance show huge enthusiasm,
actually more, than I've seen at other concerts here at the Tollwood
during the last 2 weeks. It's not quite 10 p.m. when the official part
of the concert is finished including the encore. And spontainously the
threesome decide to come back again on stage for even one more song to
celebrate the very last day of their european tour and the very last day
on the summer Tollwood festival here. I for my part can only repeat
myself: it's been wonderful this journey in time into the past with the
interpretation of the present. The only invisible question up in the air
is that one: is this it? Have we seen Crosby, Stills & Nash for the
last time live. Whereby many people here certainly have seen this group
for the first time tonight as well. The answer will stay open for now
and time will tell. But one thing is for sure: nobody here doesn't want
to have missed this here. |
