1.0 out of 5 stars My ears are bleeding, Sep 22 2008

By

Margaret M. Mcquinn (Crawford Estates, SK, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deja Vu Live (Audio CD)

I'm a big CSNY fan - at least I was a few decades ago. And I've bought a few Neil Young records/CDs since then. And I even read David Crosby's autobiography. So I thought "this might be pretty good".

Yikes. Might have liked one or two songs on the first go-around. So gave it a week and listened again. Nope, they are off-key, coming in at the wrong times, shrill etc. Doesn't sound as though there were any rehersals before taking this on the road. This one is heading for the next garage sale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neil's new back up band, July 23 2008

By T. Korol "music lover" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deja Vu Live (Audio CD)

I'll ignore the politics of previous reviews, though the tour had strong (and for me postitive) political impetus.
The music overall is very good, clearly Neil's driving and the boys respond. The mix at some points seems a little muddy both for the guitars and harmonies; other times not. And most of Neil's songs are straight up from "Living with War"; no reworks or extended jams a la Crazy Horse or 4 way street.
But what is here is good. Military Madness rocks and has two awesome (but short) Neil distortion workouts. I love Let's Impeach the Prez even if no different from studio. Deja Vu and Wooden Ships are resurrected magnificently. Crosby and Nash still sound great together! Ships also has some great guitar interplay. For What It's Worth does get an overhaul, kind of bluesy and heavier,which I like. My favorite from "Living with war" is Roger and Out and it is faithfully recreated here. Freedom and Children are both excellent; vocals very strong.
I would love some more guitar workouts (Wooden ships is great but brief), but overall this is a solid release. CSNY might have lost 1/2 a notch, it ain't 1969, but they still deliver. PS - check out photos! Stills looks like holy Hell!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom of Speech Alive & Well, so is the music., July 28 2008

By James Harrison - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deja Vu Live (Audio CD)

This is both an excellent live album and soundtrack of the film, the old boys are alive and well. The political content is upsetting a few people,apparently, and even more so considering it is coming from a Canadian(the songs attacking the government were written by Young), however the U.S promotes itself as leader of the Free World and should expect feedback from people of the free world. Fortunately most people understand this.

The record kicks off with the band and audience singing a rousing version of Crosby's "What Are Their Names?" Then Young's solo piano introduces the Living with war theme. "After the Garden" and Nash's "Military Madness" are followed by Young's "Let's Impeach The President" that concludes with much booing and heckling together with applause, about a 50/50 mix, and then Young's wry comment - "Thank you, freedom of speech".

The record contains several Crosby and Nash cuts from their back catalogue as well as Stills' "For What It's Worth" the remainder are from Young's Living With War CD's and the added vocals of CS&N give these new life.These guys still have wonderful voices, a crack band with Chad Cromwell, Rick Rosas, Ben Keith and Spooner Oldham and thought provoking lyrics that make this a very entertaining piece of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best CSNY Ever?, July 28 2008

By Kenneth M. Goodman - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deja Vu Live (Audio CD)

I don't want to be insulting, but if you dis this CD for purely political (not musical) reasons, you're being idiotic. This CD is fantastic, has heart and rocks surprisingly hard. My favorite tracks are Military Madness, Let's Impeach the President and the super rocking Shock and Awe. I enjoyed how, at the end of Let's Impeach the President, half of the audience boos.....and Mr. Young replies, "Thank you, freedom of speech." I was also surprised how well older songs like Deja Vu and Wooden Ships are performed...both excellently. Stephen Stills sounds & plays great on For What It's Worth...my only minor quibble with the CD is, I would've liked to hear more of Mr. Stills...but it doesn't matter. This CD is GREAT! If you're considering buying it but are hesitant due to the age of the performers or whatever, I urge you to ignore your hesitancy and get it. What a pleasant surprise it is.
