Sixties supergroup bring songs of protest to the West

Crosby, Stills & Nash, one of the most influential rock'n'roll groups, will be performing at Bristol's Colston Hall on Thursday, October 17. The show rounds off a nine-date tour of the UK which takes in both the NIA in Birmingham and the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The supergroup, comprised of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, has toured as a three-piece since 2007 and released a live concert DVD of their world tour last year.
With its most famous addition Neil Young appearing sporadically over the years, the band has existed in numerous different guises but continues today with its original line-up. The trio plays a combination of hits from its classic albums as well as a handful of covers and new material.

Though each of the band members had enjoyed success with their respective projects in the early Sixties, it wasn't until they all met at a party in 1968 that the group was formed. Stills and Crosby performed a new song together entitled You Don't Have to Cry, with Nash improvising a vocal harmony. And the unique three-part style soon became the band's trademark sound in years to come.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
