16 | Teach Your Children
Here's a very good example of three close friends
sharing something more than the stage.
A little bit brused, but in good shape, CS&N played
for 1 1/2 hours a bunch of timeless classics (Deja Vú,
Helplessly Hoping, Marrakesh Express, Just a song
before I Go, Our house) and stayed in touch with their audience, joking and making them sing.
Taped at the Warfield theatre in San Francisco, CA in 1991, the show (and, of course, the video!) was
called Acoustic.
They play with no back-up band, just with their
acoustic guitars (Stills sometimes plays electric) and
a piano.
The voices sound great, pretty much in tune.
There is one jewel included in this performance: the
song "Taken At All".
First released on the Crosby & Nash LP "Whistling
Down The Wire", the song was never performed by
the trio until this very show.
The vocal harmonies blend beautifully and you can
feel the magic come back to life!
At the end, there's a superb version of "Suite: Judy
Blue Eyes" and a funny "Teach Your Children".
LONG LIVE CS&N! |
