Music reviews of CSNY/Deja Vu Live

Music Review: Time to Retire?
Rating: 2 Stars

The magic that was once CSN and sometimes Y is apparently in it's waning days.

The core of the "CSN" sound from the inception was always three part vocal harmony. Yes, the song writing was always excellent, and the instrumental prowess of Stills and the sometimes Young enhanced the experience. But let's face it. Without those harmonies, it falls apart. Neil was never a harmony singer, and when he tried to be, he generally threw a wrench into things. So when he was on board, armed with 60% of the material, the sound really didn't suffer much with his distinctive lead vocal. CSN would lay on their lush harmonies, and it all seemed to work well.

So true to form, here we have a live album with Neil providing most of the script.
Neil still sounds like Neil. But then, he never did have a great voice, and as such the onset of elder years hasn't had the same deteriorating effect it's had, on say, Stephen Stills.

It is truly time for Stills to realize he can no longer sing. Especially harmony. They do a version of Wooden Ships on here where Nash has assumed the tradional Stills parts. And that works fine...Nash can still sing. The song goes along fairly well until the first chorus...where Stills attempts to add the third harmony. Sadly, the poor man almost sounds like an old drunk....sitting at the bar...trying his best to sound like George Jones on the jukebox. Stills has been over time one of rocks great guitarists, songwriters, and singers. The latter has passed him by, I'm afraid.

Nash is still steady ol' Nash. But since this album is largely political, it might of been nice to hear more from Nash. Military Madness is a great choice...but how about Soldiers of Peace? I think Neil could have made room for another great Nash tune within the scope of the songlist.

Crosby, with his recent weight loss, seems have regained some of the smooth timbre in his once elegant voice. Like Nash, Crosby has routinely been squeezed out a bit when Neil's on board. No Long Time Gone here, which would have been a natural, but hey, it's been covered over and over. Gone Forever from the CPR catalog makes a nice anti-war statement..would have been a nice surprise on here. Make some room, Neil, gee-whiz.

All-in-all, it's not one of my favorite albums. It's almost like there's two different shows going on. The "Neil Show" is all about making a political statement...well, more like pounding the statement into our heads...Ok, Neil. Think we get where you stand. He even marches out a horn section for his songs. Just seems so 'un-CSNY' like.

The "CSN Show" almost seems like they found some old cuts in a box somehere and tossed them in just make things seem more fair. All old songs that we've heard a million times...rehashed and made worse by comparison to previous recordings.

I really don't recommend this album.

Description of CSNY/Deja Vu Live

CSNY provided much of the soundtrack
for the antiwar movement of the
Vietnam era, and four decades later,
they re doing it again. (Variety)
In 2006, Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young reunited for the Freedom Of
Speech Tour. In 2008, they premiere
CSNY/Déjà Vu, a feature-length documentary
based on that controversial
tour. But the only place to hear in their
entirety the impassioned performances
in the film is on CSNY/Déjà Vu
Live. A mix of CSNY classics and more
recent antiwar material from Neil
Young, CSNY/Déjà Vu Live marks the
return to the socio-political stage of
David Crosby, Stephen Stills,
Graham Nash and Neil Young in a
musical déjà vu.
