Yesterday evening Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
completed the successful CSNY2K tour in Kiel Center, St. Louis, MO.
April 15: "Chicago" in Chicago
Would he do it, or not. Yes, last night Graham Nash did
"Chicago" in Chicago. After the show he told the 4 WaySite website managers they
did not rehearse it at all!
March 28: More
'new'
songs on the setlist
CSNY played both Helpless and Suite:Judy Blue Eyes in Boston on March the 26th for
the first time.
March 17: 'Eight Miles
High' added to setlist
CSN&Y added In Charlotte, NC, the Byrds song '8 Miles High' to setlist;
hopefully it will stay there and not 'disappear' like Darkstar and Southern Cross.
March 10: Live album
and new CD?
They're talking about releasing a live album from the tour and
plan to go back into the studio after the schedule clears this summer to make another
album, one that better reflects where they've arrived musically.
March 4:
"No
doubt about CSNY2K tour recordings"
Stephen Barncard: "There is NO DOUBT in my mind that there will be a

tour.
Now available and downloadable the first MP3 song -
in the Downloadables section - of the CSNY2K tour.
February 1: Entire CSNY2K tour is being
recorded.
As upbeat as Nash sounds about this reunion tour, he also seems to temper his zeal
with the realization that the whole works could come apart on a moment's
notice, which is,
he says, part of the reason why the entire tour is being recorded and
filmed, with the
possibility of a commercial release being mentioned.
January 31:

The Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young reunion show March 30 at the Air

Information on the
set list.
Nash: "The only thing that we've decided so far is that we want to play
every song from the new record, and then we want to play a selection of songs that our
fans know and love us for -- as long as we can make them musically interesting and make
them not a medley and not a Las Vegas-type rendition of it."
Crosby said the repertoire might even include songs that the group has written since
Looking Forward was released.
"Oh, I guarantee you there are songs in there that you haven't heard, that nobody's
heard before,'' he said. "We're an ongoing process, man. We're a work in
progress."
They also will feature material from their earlier musical affiliations, such as
the Byrds (Crosby), Buffalo Springfield (Stills and Young) and the Hollies
(Nash).
January 18:
4 keyboard players...!
Stephen Barncard talked to both Crosby and Nash:
"They're leaving for Cleveland tomorrow for rehearsals and they're both jazzed
about the upcoming CSNY tour. I want to take this opportunity to wish them the best for
this incredible adventure.
David said they worked on 'Down By the River' a couple of days ago and said that it just
SMOKED. It seems like you're going to get your Stills-Young guitar battles. He also said
that the keyboards will be played by Stephen, Neil, Nash and himself -- that whoever's
loose will be back on a keyboard of some sort.
4 keyboard players! Yes.
I also complimented Nash on his history of keyboard playing and his unique style and he
was quite humble about it. Yes, he's playing Hammond organ....."
January 11:
Graham Nash commments
on CSN&Y band changes.
Graham Nash :" The drummer is Jim Keltner and the bass player is still
Donald 'Duck' Dunn, but CSN&Y wanted to get a different sound than CS&N had".
January 8:
Some new changes to
the CSN&Y band and MORE tour dates!
Jim Keltner is now on drums.
Mike Finnigan is no longer on keyboards.
In addition to rehearsals in Cleveland, the band will be rehearsing in Los Angeles the
week of January 10th, then move on to Cleveland prior to the launch of the tour.
There will be 3 new shows announced after the tour start in Detroit. Keep checking the
tour dates.
December 24: Rumors
about CSN&Y rehearsing.
They've done several weeks of rehearsals at a "big
place" in the San Mateo fairgrounds.
There's been mention of a "dress rehearsal" in
Cleveland just before the tour begins.
"Joel Bernstein was asked to create a DATABASE of all the
songs they could think of, complete with changes and lyrics. At last count it was
over 400 songs. As far as I know, he was onsite to administer this
tool."
Only the basic crew are there now...
December 1: Secrets from
CSN&Y rehearsals.
From the Toronto Sun, November 26:
CSN&Y's current rehearsals, which are closed to family, friends and even
managers, are taking place in a converted building on the San Mateo, Calif.,
fairgrounds,
just south of San Francisco. Nash says they've built both acoustic and electric stages --
both sets are planned for the live shows -- and have been joined by Joe Vitale on drums,
Mike Finnigan on keyboards and Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass. Dunn formerly played
with Booker T. and the MG's.
November 19: CSN&Y gearing up for CSNY2K tour!
After a brief break, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young returned
to rehearsing in earnest for their CSNY2K tour, which kicks off Jan. 24 in suburban
Detroit.
Graham Nash said that the four musicians have been discussing the set
lists, which
will include lots of material from the new "Looking Forward" album, as well as
older favorites, songs that didn't make the album and even some material that hasn't been
recorded yet. There will also be selections from the quartet's previous bands - Buffalo
Springfield, the Byrds and the Hollies. "We're thinking about that right
now,"
Nash said. "Of the Springfield stuff, we definitely want to do things like
'Bluebird.' I asked Neil if he would do 'Expecting To Fly,' which is one of my all-time
favorites - not only songs and not only performances, but recordings. 'Uno
Mundo' would be
a great thing to revive from the Springfield. David, I believe, wants to do
'Chimes of Freedom' and I'm thinking about Hollies stuff.
November 3: CSN&Y to rehearse this month for coming "CSNY2K" tour.
The four will be rehearsing this month to prepare themselfs
for the coming tour that starts on January the 24. They were slated to convene
Wednesday in Northern California to begin rehearsals for the three-month CSNY2K tour which
kicks off Jan. 24 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit. The quartet - along
with sidemen Duck Dunn on bass, Joe Vitale on drums and Michael Finnigan on keyboards -
has been sifting through its substantial repertoire of material to decide what to play
during the shows. "The only thing that we've decided so far is that we want to play
every song from the new record," Nash said. "And then we want to play a
selection of songs that our fans know and love us for. As long as we can make them
musically interesting and make them not a medley and not a Las Vegas-type rendition of
it,
we're gonna choose songs that we still mean." CSNY is slated to hold production
rehearsals in Cleveland before the tour since there are too many conflicts with the NBA's
Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. were slated to convene
