CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG
Five Way Street [The Third Eye, 2CD]
Collection of live tracks and outtakes.
Here is a collection that has circulated for a while, with some fans feeling that this is a “truly essential CSNY collection of 1968-70 rarities not to be missed”.
Meanwhile, here are some comments from Old Grey Cat:
The first set of CSNY Live material is appreciated - although the Y was most likely waiting backstage for his solo turn, as he’s not featured here. That said, Nash does harmonize with the Croz on “Guinnevere” and Croz repays in kind for “Simple Man.” Stills’ “Black Queen” comes off nicely. I’d say more but, really, there’s not much to add aside from this: “Guinnevere” is classic…
Take a deep breath and try this one on for size: Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young & Jones. CSNY&J?! Yep. CSNY guested on The Tom Jones Show and, after performing a nice rendition of “You Don’t Have to Cry” actually back Jones on “Long Time Gone.” The mixing of “hippie” with “hip” is humorous - but little else…
On November 9, 1970, the BBC In Concert series presented Mssrs. Crosby & Nash. It’s a revelation, folks. Words alone can’t express how wonderful their eight-song set is. Aside from the fact that this captures their first public collaboration as a duo and, as such, is an historic document worthy of official release, the performance itself is stunning - from Graham’s “Simple Man” to David’s closing “Traction in the Rain.” The only downside is that the sound is far from top-notch. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that producer Stephen Barncard gets his hands on the master tape and does with it what he did with Another Stoney Evening.
On the heels of that magical performance comes the audio from the BBC’s Sounding Out. Aired in early 1972, this most definitely was taped sometime in ‘71 - but who knows? Less revelatory than the C&N set, it’s nonetheless interesting, as Stills runs through the songs listed above and offers insightful comments. For instance, he explains how horses provide him an escape from the pressures of rock ‘n’ roll. Another interesting tidbit concerns his recollection of playing the folk clubs in Greenwich Village and how, each night, he hoped to earn fifteen cents - yes, fifteen cents - so that he could go across the street and buy a slice of pizza for breakfast. Also covered: the impact the Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night had on folk musicians such as himself and John Sebastian.
The Neilster circa 1971 wraps things up… with “A Man Needs a Maid” and “Heart of Gold,” both of which are performed solo at the piano. It’s very similar to the “melody” found on the Rock ‘n’ Roll Cowboy collection, right down to the linking of the two songs - but minus the applause. It’s nice, but these tracks are neither revelatory nor insightful. They can be summed up with two words: They’re pretty.

well csny played fillmore west oct 2nd 69. that could be the show above. however there is speculation on this event. it is listed as having had Janis Joplin, Santana, Blues Image/John Sebastian Lights: Little Princess
and then - Notes: Poster Says CSNY
but then the dates 3rd thru 5th also list csny for the fillmore west and they didnt play there. they played winterland on at least 2 of those 3 nites.
i looked at all of 1970 and 71 and i dont see any csn or csny shows at the fillmore west.
By darth on Aug 19, 2013
and im sure they didnt get the coast wrong but it should be noted that csny did the fillmore east on 6-2 thru 7-1970 and 9-19&20-69. in case anyone is interested.
does anyone else collect posters or handbills from these late 60s early 70s shows? they werent cheap in the 80s but theyre absolutely ridiculously priced now. some of them are outrageous. i have 7 or 8 of em framed. and about 25 or more of the handbills. i probably should have gotten more of them when i could at $5. i was way too picky i think but in the late 80s early 90s when i was buying these things a lot there were so many so i had to decide which ones i had to have. i think one of the only east coast posters i have is beck and traffic. most of the others i have are all west coast.

218 is: Take Some Insurance Out On Me Baby.
By 5yrsnojob on Aug 19, 2013
Actually it is: “Take out some insurance on me, baby”, also known as “If You Love Me, Baby”. Jimmy Reed (1959)

Thanks, big O!.
- CSN (sans Young) performing “Guinevere” @ Landover, MD.
I remember -too many years ago
The crowd was listening, silently, until some moron started hooting and hollering. Crosby stopped singing, and told the idiot, “…There are 20,000 people here who WANT to hear this song. Shut up, or leave”. The crowd gave an enthusiastic round of cheers and applause.
They started playing again, from the top.

Thanks Jackfan for catching that.

Thanks for this - if you really want to enjoy the CSN&Y & Jones track - search for it on youtube. First I think its better than the reviewer give it credit - But CSN&Y are obviously higher than kites and Seem to be having a great time with Jones singing.. its my favorite clip on all of youtube.

Track 2 from disc one is not on the Stephen Stills box set…at least I couldn’t locate it there…any help would be appreciated.
By whizzkid58 on Aug 19, 2013
i am grabbing that studio stuff, big-o!
I-)
By I-) on Aug 20, 2013
re: whizzkid58, I don’t see it either. The Stills box set does contain “49 Reasons”. Guessing it’s an early demo of “49 Bye-Byes”. Any help?
By Summit on Aug 20, 2013
With all the box sets these 4 guys have released, it’s amazing that some of the best stuff still lies out in cyberspace. Thanks BIGO
By niroopa on Aug 20, 2013
Just to explain to you, when Stephen Stills recorded his overdubbed one man band demo in 1968, the song was called “49 Reasons”, and this demo now appears on the official Stephen Stills boxed set “Carry On”, where it is Disc One/Track 15.
In 1969, when Stills combined it with several other song fragments, and re-recorded the song on the first Crosby,Stills & Nash album, the song was re-named “49 Bye Byes”.
The track from the “Five Way Street” collection that is omitted on BigO is indeed the 1968 demo which was recently released officially on the “Stephen Stills-Carry On” boxed set.

Thanks for the post. I seem to recall the Tom Jones track was also included on another of the CSNY downloads BigO so generously offers.
The Crosby and Nash set on BBC has some interesting Stills-less takes on some of the classic CSN songs. A lot of tape hiss on those tracks.
The sound check is just that — not complete songs and lots of chatter about sound levels and which guitar to use.
By Jania on Aug 22, 2013
Is 104 a different take of 103, or should it be called Instrumental #2?
By 5yrsnojob on Sep 4, 2013
Jania, the CSNY Four Way Harmonies (68/70) set from BigO has a version of Tom Jones Long Time Coming, but it is from a different set on the same day (9/6/69). It is shorter (5.6 MB)and doesn’t have the glitches this ’set II’ version has.
