QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed"

More Supply Than Demand?
(Numerous Tours and High Prices Show Industry Growth But Outpace Attendance.)
Mention of the CSNY 2K2 Tour.
"Early winners are easy to find, including Paul McCartney, ....CSNY, etc...
Disappointing, however is the ongoing trend of dollars outpacing attendance, meaning fewer people are going to more shows......"

CHRIS HILLMAN & HERB PEDERSEN
Way Out West
( Back Porch )
Gram Parsons has received far too much credit for "inventing" country-rock, or alt-country as it is now commonly known. After all, it was Chris Hillman who convinced the Byrds to cover the Porter Wagoner hit "Satisfied Mind" on their Turn! Turn! Turn! album in 1965, three years before Parsons joined the band for Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Hillman was also Parsons' equal in the Byrds spinoff, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and actually enjoyed country chart success in the '80s with the Desert Rose Band, something Parsons never achieved in his abbreviated lifetime. The DRB also began Hillman's long association with harmony vocalist par excellence Herb Pedersen, another bluegrass refugee who had survived the hillbilly hippie era as a member of the Dillards. Way Out West is the first collaboration between Hillman and Pedersen since their Bakersfield Bound album in 1996, and once again, the duo revisits its country and bluegrass roots, mixing a handful of new originals alongside faithful covers of Roger Miller, Ray Price and countrified arrangements of early rock 'n' roll hits by the Everly Brothers ("Problems") and the Drifters ("Save the Last Dance for Me"). But it's on the material borrowed from traditional brother duos like the Louvins and Monroes where Hillman and Pedersen's tightly knit harmonies really shine, and with crack backing from former DRB members Jay Dee Maness on pedal steel and Bill Bryson on bass, it's obvious that this music is being performed with a reverence and proficiency generally lacking from the latest generation of country-rock poseurs.

SHAKEY: NEIL YOUNG'S BIOGRAPHY
By Jimmy McDonough
( Random House/788 PP/$29.95 )
This is the first biography of Young done with his cooperation (though said cooperation can at times be, well, shaky). McDonough spent the better part of a decade chasing after a multitude of bandmates past and present, family members, neighbors and associates (from mechanics who've worked on his cars to studio engineers). A sprawling work, it's made perhaps 20 percent longer than it needed to be by interspersing the narrative with Young's own conversations with the author. The fact is, he's not that arresting a speaker, and the constant use of his particular vernacular--"innaresting" for interesting, "heh heh heh" whenever he chuckled--becomes annoying early on. A fairly private man with a set of unshakable ethical standards and rules of conduct, Young's struggles range from the expected label and business sort to the highly personal and blindingly mortal. Mirroring Young's own body of work, the book is lengthy, but filled with countless riveting moments. One sample: Back in the Buffalo Springfield days, he and Jack Nitzsche went to see Nazz play at an L.A. club, where Young proceeded to heckle Todd Rundgren and his erstwhile band, yelling, "There's only one Mick Jagger!" and "You're not the Rolling Stones!"

Here's is my scan of the advertisement that appeared in the
Sunday - August 4th, 2002 issue of the New York Times
It promotes both the Count Basie and Town Hall shows.
Both beautiful venues.
I saw CSN @ Count Basie which was a RARE treat - in 1997.
Beautiful theatre.
The illustrious NYC Town Hall is where I saw Crosby in 1981 - during the good old bad days...
Still was able to pull off a good show regardless - that croz, he is blessed.

FROM MIX MAGAZINE
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG
by Steve Jennings
Mix, Jul 1, 2002
Only two years after their first reunion tour in a quarter-century, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young played 40 shows in the U.S. and Canada between early February and late April. Fronting a band that included musical director Booker T. Jones, bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn and drummer Steve Potts, the rock veterans performed for over three hours each night, playing a broad selection of familiar and obscure songs from their joint and solo careers.
Maryland Sound Industries (Baltimore) provided a JBL VerTec line array system for the main P.A. Systems engineer and joint FOH mixer Mike Scerra, assisted by Chuck Wells and Kurt Joachimstaler, flew 16 cabinets for main L/R columns and 12 cabinets in the center. For 180° coverage, 14-cabinet columns were added to each side, with additional side hangs of four to eight cabinets for 270° coverage. Subwoofers were proprietary systems from MSI, and the monitor system was provided by Sound Image of Escondido, Calif.
At FOH, Scerra shared mixing duties with Jim Mulligan, both working on Midas consoles. "We're pretty maxed out on inputs and outputs," noted Mulligan, who mixed vocals and guitars while Scerra concentrated on band balances. "We record to 48-track every night, so all of the direct outputs and all of the group outlets that aren't being used for effects are feeding record outputs," explained Scerra.
"I'm carrying a lot of vocal processing, since each guy has a uniquely different voice," noted Mulligan. "We're doing some dynamic processing on each member to take out some of the sibilance or edge. We're using the Neumann KMS 150 for vocal mics, then we have a tube compressor on each guy, as well. It's been a challenge, but they work hard; they do a soundcheck every day diligently, and that makes it much easier."
*Thanks to Chris and Tim Ryan for this one!*

This morning
Graham Nash
appeared during a segment on
A&E's
"Breakfast with the Arts"
He performed "Lost Another One" - solo on electric keys.
Afterwards - (looking the charmer as always), he was briefly interviewed
by Harry Smith, who is also the current host of A&E's BIOGRAPHY show.
(Harry Smith seems to be quite a fan of Nash and CSN, nice to see someone who knows his subject!)

2 good reviews are out in regards to
SONGS FOR SURVIVORS
Rolling Stone
Graham Nash Songs for Survivors
Songs for Survivors, meant as a companion piece to Songs for Beginners -- which the sixty-year-old Nash made more than thirty years ago -- shows that his clear vocals are unchanged from the Hollies days without a loss of pitch or timbre. The eight well-crafted originals are simultaneously introspective and optimistic, a combination that saves "Lost Another One" (a musing about how many of his contemporaries have recently died) from becoming maudlin or mournful. And while many in his age group find it necessary to reinterpret their old chestnuts, Nash turns his talents to Linda and Richard Thompson's haunting "Pavanne." First recorded in 1978, this portrait of an assassin who kills for "the pleasure of the moment" has a spookier meaning today. The low point is "Liar's Nightmare," an eight-minute narrative set to the same folk tune as Bob Dylan's "Masters of War." It's not actually bad, it just takes up space that would be better used by three more of his country-flavored harmon!
ica-driven originals.
