Product Description
CSNY provided much of the soundtrack
for the antiwar movement of the
Vietnam era, and four decades later,
they re doing it again. (Variety)
In 2006, Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young reunited for the Freedom Of
Speech Tour. In 2008, they premiere
CSNY/Deja Vu, a feature-length documentary
based on that controversial
tour. But the only place to hear in their
entirety the impassioned performances
in the film is on CSNY/Deja Vu
Live. A mix of CSNY classics and more
recent antiwar material from Neil
Young, CSNY/Deja Vu Live marks the
return to the socio-political stage of
David Crosby, Stephen Stills,
Graham Nash and Neil Young in a
musical deja vu.

 The Green Blowfish August 29, 2008
If you want a third rehash (Living with War, Living with War - In the Beginning and now this CD) of Neil's 2006 solo album - this will be your cup of tea. I'm not looking forward to the fourth attempt at trying to pry my money for essentially the same product (the DVD).
If you don't like Stephen Stills - I'd certainly purchase this just to look at the absolutely horrid photo of him inside. I'm guessing he did not select it (envision a constipated green blowfish exhaling while under duress). I'm guessing Stephen did not get a vote on that picture and I also suspect he and Neil aren't getting along (yet again).
The tour was a ** out of ***** tour and should have been called "Neil Young and his famous backup band" (and Neil is my favorite solo artist and the one artist I would see live above all others and have well over a dozen times).
Deja Vu was an absolutely wonderful CD and anyone who has not heard it should purchase it. This particular selection rates somewhere near the bottom third of the pack when one takes the Crosby, Nash, Stills and Young works (including solo) under consideration as a whole. For the completist only.
Even the Deja Vu song itself does not compare to the other versions of the song on Deja Vu, The Bridge School, Crosby Nash Live, the alternate version on Crosby's Voyage etc.
Unless and until the other three are treated as equals - I'm passing on the next tour. I'd rather see them solo at this point (where they don't sell themselves out for the tour $$$$$ as they have since they 'reformed').
Neil - bring back the Horse......
great music. Please belay the niaeve politics August 28, 2008

At the turn of 69/70, CSNY were musically at the top of their game. Musically they have become rusty. However their political hate speech is just as extreme as ever. From the perspective of their limos and palaces they may have something to say. However, speaking as someone far below their salary level, I just wish they'd practice their art and shut up with the posturing. Artistic talent does not usually translate into wisdom. They are a case study testifying to that fact.
 Neil Young's CSNY August 24, 2008
Ever since this legendary band reformed in 1999 it has very much been with Neil Young at the steering wheel. He has chosen the backing bands and he has vetoed any official releases from their prevoius, highly succesful tours, in 2000 and '02.
This isn't a proper livealbum either, but the soundtrack to his film about the band's "Freedom Of Speech" tour in '06, promoting Neil's "Living With War" album.
Where the tour was a mix of new and old songs, and the 30+ songlist somewhat equally shared between the four great songwriters, here it's all Neil, with 9 out of 16 songs being from "Living..", while the other three have to share the remaining 7. That Neil is by far the most succesful through the years, commercially and mediawise, hardly justify such a malproportion. And although I can wholeheratedly agree with Neil's poignant lyrics about War, Iraq and Mr. Bush, the musical qualities of his new tunes are more dubious.
The highlights of the CD is undoubtly the fine versions of the classics "Deja Vu" and "Wooden Ships", where it sounds like a band and where we get some of the famous twin leadguitar interplay between Neil and Stephen Stills.Whereas CSN is hardly audible through the new Neil songs. It's also on the classic tracks that the impeccable backing musicians really gel, not least the fine bassplayer Rick Rosas and drummer Chad Cromwell.
As evidenced by their recent collaborations with David Gilmour ("Island" and the live-DVD) David Crosby and Graham Nash are in topform vocally, whereas Stephen isn't, he doesn't even sing on his own "Find The Cost Of Freedom", but plays some fine guitar - when he's allowed to step out that is.
But else it's all Neil, and he's certainly in great form through out.
A fine release by one of the all-time greatest bands, though I personally would have preferred a whole show.
 Could be better ! August 22, 2008

As a big Fan of CSN and CSNY, I am a bit dissapointed in the album, and was expecting more !
Can't win it all !
They are still " the fantastic 4"

 From this sample, these guys are all washed up... August 21, 2008

CSNY/Deja Vu Live caught me totally by surprise.
From this sample, CSN&Y are all washed up...
First, it seems like the guys can't sing anymore. Their voices crack and rattle and they can't carry a tune individually; much less as a quartet. Their attempts at harmony were agonizing. I don't think you could smoke enough rope to make their singing sound good.
There were some moments, when I thought their instrumentals would rise up and drown out their singing, but as their guitar work came to the forefront, I realized their instruments weren't in tune and they weren't playing together; much less in the same key.
The venue acoustics didn't help matters, either. It sounded like they were playing in the largest tin bucket in the world and at opposite ends of the bucket to boot.
If you were there at the live concert and/or you just want to relive the moment when CSN&Y once more celebrated their, "freedom of speech", buy this CD.
If you're interested in good music, go back to their catalog and find some of their re-mastered and enhanced studio albums from the days when CSN&Y really were a powerful musical force.
