come to mind are The 1969 Monterey Folk Festival. It was held on September 13th and 14th, 1969, at This festival also spawned the first "official" bootleg CSNY record,
the infamous (Subsequently, years later, some fans in Italy decided to dedicate
their This film, which used to run frequently on american television
in the 70's, has
It is a classic period piece, from the ultimate CSNY footage of
"Let's Get Together." Stephen Stills and John Sebastian In the uncut version of the film, they depict the footage in the
baths, with I love Dorothy Morrison and the Comb Sister's performances, Then their is the infamous heckler scene with Stephen, and the
other guys Please read an account of the festival as it was reported in ROLLING STONE - BIG SUR Article October 1969. My September 4th, 2000 issue of POLLSTAR This tidbit is for all the CSNY fans who convened in St Louis They have changed the name of the venue from The Keil Center to It has a 20 year deal with the facility. AUGUST 2000 08/05/00 From this week's July 31st, 2000 issue of POLLSTAR: Lorraine's analysis: CSNY have been knocked off the top 50 North American tours listings
as of this week. It was a good run, with high grosses and capacities.
Unfortunately they needed to do more dates... (hint hint) to remain
on the charts against the other large grossing acts. Metallica,
Bruce and George Strait Country Music Fest are now topping the
charts in the 1-3 positions. The week of February 28th, 2000 CSNY entered the top 50 tours
chart, based on 10 shows; at number 2. Average gross: 992,764 Last week, July 24th, 2000 was CSNY's last week on the top 50
tours chart, based on 10 shows; at number 2. Average gross: 1,487,799 Over the past months (Feb-July) CSNY fluctuated between 1st-3rd
place. Overall a wonderful run and I hope they do it again!!! Please visit "What's Going Down" July 2000 for a full midyear review of the CSNY 2000 tour. I'm curious to see what sort of numbers Neil's pending tour with
bring. The tour commences this week in Virginia Beach. Like the
CSNY tour, his tour is being promoted by TNA and SFX. With high
ticket prices, I expect Neil to be back on this top 50 tour chart
shortly. Your webmaster-Lorraine
JULY 2000 07/13/00 Today is the 15th anniversary of LIVE AID and CSNY's infamous "reunion" there. I remember I was working that day.

"Special thanks to Elliot Roberts, Frank Gironda, Gerry Tolman,
Marsha Vlasic, They bill it.... a TRIUMPHANT RETURN!! *another suitelorraine.com exclusive news item* The next few entries are more of the CSNY 2000 coverage in this
issue of the concert hotwire... POLLSTAR "When fans feel a tour is truly a special event, they will pay
a stiff premium to be a part of it. The highly successful CSNY
tour is a perfect example. Of course, when the public doesn't
feel something is a landmark occasion worthy of busting the piggy
bank, as in the Diana Ross & the Supremes tour, the result is
vast oceans of empty seats." C.O.A. here...

But on this day we commemorate a very special festival to us CSNY
fans.
the Esalen Institute in Big Sur California.
It was captured on film and released to the public in a concert
film called
"Celebration at Big Sur."
"Wooden Nickel"
time to putting out a CSNY fanzine and they called it
"Wooden Nickel.")
never been released officially for home video.
"Sea of Madness" and "Down By the River",
as well as the Crosby, Stills, Nash, Joni Mitchell
and John Sebastian rendition of
Dino Valenti's aka Chet Powers
Movie still from the film "Celebration at Big Sur" ©
That particular performance is a cherished moment in time
that for me can always put a smile on my face, as the music makes
you feel as though you are part of the community.
These scenes define for me the epitomy of the CSNY sound.
picking some acoustic blues with "Bullfrog Blues." Seeing Joni
debut her "new"
song "Woodstock", about a festival that had happened in NY just
a few short weeks
prior.
David Crosby, John Sebastian, Carl Gottlieb, among others; communing
with nature
and singing in the buff!
"All of God's Children Got Soul," and the group show closer
"Oh Happy Day." Their spirit transcends the moment and the viewer
is uplifted.
"lovin him out of the confrontation," to be segued into the Stills
rap about
"pretty guitars and fancy guitars"...

At that time, I worked in a natural foods restaurant in Queens.
It was a sweltering Saturday and I passed on going to Philly for
the show,
that some friends were going to.
Little did I know CSNY were slated to do a guest appearance.
Ramiro called me at work to drop the news...and I left the phone
call in tears,
upon hearing the news.
He taped the audio from the radio broadcast and video taped the
television broadcast.
That evening we settled infront of the tube and watched the replay.
Check out the cover....

It is a shot of Neil in the centre flanked by Stephen and David.
Graham is barely shown, only partially on the side of Stephen
with his back facing forward.
CSNY should have be represented properly; respectfully showing
all 4 frontally.
