Crosby, Stills & Nash - 1987-08-20 - Wyoming, MI (HQ Aud)

I saw Crosby Stills & Nash for the first time in 1978, when the band was riding high after the release of the CSN album a year earlier.  That disc climbed all the way to #2 on the Billboard charts, while the single, Just A Song Before I Go, had reached the #7 spot.  By the time I saw the band again in 1985, the picture was very different.  CSN had not released a studio album in 3 years, since Daylight Again in 1982.  Crosby had been arrested several times on drug and weapons charges.  Yet, despite their troubles, the trio seemed to find a way to tour every summer, taking refuge on stage from their issues.  In addition to the 1985 concert, I would see CSN in 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1992 (more on that last show later this month). Here’s a HQ audience tape from that period, a concert Wyoming, MI on August 20, 1987, a quarter century ago today. Download this one to learn, as I did back then, that while CSN might no longer be a force in the studio, they could still produce majestic harmonies live in concert.
