Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1969-08-31 - Los Angeles, CA (Ex. Aud)

A week after their historic performance at Woodstock, CSNY took up resience at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles for 7 consecutive performances fom August 25 to 31. This excellent audience recording captures most of the last night at the Greek (it appears Find The Cost of Freedom, the last song of the electricset is missing), on August 31, 1969, 53 years ago today.  Of interest is that the notes indicate that CSNY opened for Blind Faith,  Those 2 bands are often considered the first 2 "super groups" - bands composed of musicians who had already been successful with other bands. In CSNY's case, Neil and Stephen had played with Buffalo Springfield, David with The Byrds and Graham with The Hollies. Blind Faith featured Eric Clapton and  Ginger Baker who had played with Cream, anlonside Steve Winwood who had garened fame both with Traffic and the Spencer Davis Group.
