Believe it or not, CSNY has made only 2 appearances at Farm Aid, in 1990 and then again at the 15th anniversary show in 2000. We'll have that second performance for you later this month.
This soundboard recording goes back 9 years prior to the first Farm Aid, capturing the last night of CSNY’s tumultuous 1974 tour at Wembley Stadium in London on September 14, 1974, 51 years ago today. The band, which has been driven apart in 1970 by tensions between the the four members, reformed in early 1974 to launch a nationwide tour. On opening night in Seattle, the band showed their total lack of planning, mapping out a 44 (yes – 44!) song set that they thought would last just a bit more than 3 hours. Well, at 12:35 am, 3 ½ hours into the show, they still had 9 songs to play. They plunged ahead, finishing the show, but that decision had enormous consequences. For future shows, some songs were trimmed off the set list, while others were reshuffled in the line up, pleasing none of the 4 band members. Tensions would continue to mount throughout the tour, and when it finally ended, so did CSNY for over a ¼ century. While there would be few special appearances, such as Live Aid in 1985, CSNY would not tour again until 2000!

Thank you!
Thank you for this speedy!
Thanks Speedy, rare that I get to thank folks for a gig I was at but this is an exception and whilst the CSNY boys and Joni were good, The Band blew everyone else away! But always nice to get a soundboard quality set so looking forward to this one
Incredible you were at this show! What a day of music! And CSNY wouldn't tour again for 25 years!!!
Many thanks! This has been on my "keep an eye out for" list. Polypheme
Excellent gig, I remember it well, Jesse Colin Young, Tom Scott LA Express, Joni Mitchell, The Band and CSN & Y!
