CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH - NEWS - "I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me..." -RZ- JULY NEWS 2003 refresh your browsers   A copy of the program from CLASSIC NASH Neil article in the June 26th, 2003 Issue of Rolling Stone #925 - Page 18 Neil graces the cover of the July issue of UNCUT Magazine Neil Young Almost 40 years ago, Neil Young met Stephen Stills. The meeting would lead to a life-long rivalry, the formation of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and to the recording of albums that made Young the most popular solo artist on the planet. In the June 11-17th, 2003 Issue of the VILLAGE VOICE There is a half a page advertisment for THE NEXT BIG THING... Among the other cds they mention are THE THORNS "Matthew Sweet & friends give us Crosby, Stills and Nash for the next generation." * * * I saw them on late nite tv - I think it was Conan - and I was not overly impressed. To me it is not CSN - but I can see how people are tagging them with that since they all 3 sing and harmonize... I know some people who love them already... dunno.... guess the jury is out... I always liked Matthew Sweet. Saw him live a few times, once opening for Bowie... Has a Neil Young vibe to his solo music, of lament...et al... - LK Michael Kelly Finnigan and Greg Bladecki photo by Candy Finnigan © At Viejas Casino and Turf - CA *thanks Greg!* Sat 05/31/03 Las Vegas, NV - The Aladdin Theatre SHOW REVIEW by Vasken Gurdjian *THANKS VASKEN* "That was it. After a call from a friend saying that Neil's production had released some extra tickets for Neil's Paris show, here I am at the Palais Des Congres where Neil had a solo show. The 1st part was all a theme show about GREENDALE, a ficticious town and some ficticious family that Neil has invented, I guess. The 2nd half was regular NY solo performance. I was quite happy. But my mind flew over to Nevada where CSN were playing the weekend after. After convincing a friend in LA to go to Vegas for the Watch and Jewelery show - JCK, which was during the same time that CSN would be performing at The Aladdin.... The Aladdin - CSN started the show with Carry On + Questions. I loved Questions; as usual Stephen in great spirits, joking about Croz wardrobe. Nash always himself and Croz in good spirits. The highlights for me were songs I’ve never seen them perform, such as: Lee Shore, In My Dreams, Old Man Trouble, Wounded World, Feed the People, Dirty Little Secret, Questions. Lousy casino crowd, great T-shirts especially the orange tye dyed one. Croz introduced “Our House” telling the crowd this is the song which women all over the world lost their virginity to and getting a huge applause which got Graham saying, “I write the song that gets all the applause!” Woodstock done with a new beat great - except Stephen had hard time singing on this song which was the last song of the show. Just back to GayParis' with enough energy to keep me hangin' until summer's shows." Truly yours, Vasken From left to right LK, Percy, Mick Hinton and Maureen Plant watch The Band perform @ Wembley 09/14/74, before CSNY hit the stage for their last show of the infamous '74 tour!

Wembley Ticket Show Poster (uk magazine ad plugging the show and the lp) *For the guitar afficianado...* "Just about 2 years ago a friend of mine and I helped design a specially commissioned guitar to be built by Gibson...specifically a J200 with all of the artwork from the Led Zep 3 lp cover. The customer (a friend) received the guitar last year and it is the only one in the world and is beautiful. All of the artwork is placed in the same position as on the lp jacket and it also sounds great, $20,000.00 retail. Anyway...Page found out about the instrument (thru Zep's photographer) and invited my friend to bring the guitar for him to see at the recent premier of their new DVD and audio release. I played the guitar just about a year before Page even saw it!" *THANKS BARRY!* Barry playing the guitar photo the property of Musician Barry Scott © Greg - Gibson (J200 - one of a kind) owner of the Zeppelin III custom made guitar and Jimmy Page in NYC May 2003 © *BEAUTY!* photo the property of Musician Barry Scott © This clipping can be found in RS Issue #923 05/29/03 Page 76 I got this in the snail mail recently; asking me to reinstate my membership with The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nash content found inside See below Photo by Neal Hamilton© We have 2 BREAKING NEWS items LARRY TATE in shock over the breaking news! ~~~~~~~~~~~ From CSN Management - Gerry Tolman *thank you* Numero Uno - #1 Gerry confirmed the following that was found in the 05/28/03 Plain Dealer Cleveland Newspaper by Pop Music Critic- John Soeder excerpt from article: "CSN is readying a new CD featuring the original demo versions of some of the group's best-known songs, including "Teach Your Children" & "Wooden Ships."
