I enjoyed seeing them on their 2006 reunion tour. I haven't been to a large arena gig in several years, and I'd have to make a four-hour drive to get to this one, but who knows, I just might be up for it. Here they are, at The Beacon Theater in New York in 2006.

Quote24FPS Feel blessed to have seen of her last full shows, back in '98 in Los Angeles. Dylan opened, Joni was the middle, and Van Morrison closed. They switched the lineup at other gigs. I had front row in Detroit. No Van that night, just Bob and Joni. Fantastic show in a half-filled hockey arena, and only $45 for front row! She toured again a couple of years later, in 2000, but I think

They satisfied an early 70s demand for a CSN style of music that the actual CSN were usually unable to fulfill because they were too busy arguing amongst themselves to spend very much time making records. Btw, which one was Seals? The one with the hat, right? Never could tell them apart.

I've always admired his intensity, honesty and enthusiasm, but as Crosby remarked a few years ago when speaking about the members of CSNY, “We're all crazy. All of us.” Here's Graham performing Stephen's "Love the One You're With" at an intimate show I attended last month in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I think the ultimate example of this, and again, I'm surprised no one's mentioned it, is Dave Mason's Alone Together. Several years after its release, his record label actually put out a Very Best of Dave Mason album with a track listing that was almost identical to Alone Together. It included nearly every track that from that album, and not a whole helluva lot else; One track from

I have to admit, the foreign-language vocal (mixed unnecessarily loud, btw) throws me a bit, but it's not the first time a Floyd record has featured unconventional vocals.
