inspiring.
This is a great album with moving protest songs.
See the film first to fully dig it.
CSNY are not observers of life,they've got balls.

Neils 'Living With War' Live
I'm a little surprised by some of the negative reviews of tis soundtrack to the movie album.Sure its a lot different to Neil's excellent Heart Of Gold movie,but to say its irrelevant is not too fair.Neils none too happy about the current situation he finds his adopted country in,so he expresses it in the best way he knows through his music.This CD recording wise is not as crisp a sound as I would have liked but CSN & Y are still in top form on a tour that would be controversial but many agreed with it.Sharing ones feelings has always come through music,and these guys have never avoided putting them into song.This is a challenging,at times hard album but surely within the film context it will be easier to follow.For all that,sound apart is an album all fans of the band and its individual members fans will buy and keep,and there are some very good songs as well...do give it a listen,its worth it.

Preaching and sermonizing
A lot of Neil Young's work has been is very interesting and evocative. Not this cd. A recent convert from Reaganism, Neil has become preachy and political in the other direction. Apparently he is giving equal time to experience all kinds of political thought. Is he now a kind of descendent of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger? The songs do not connect to common people. Neil is trying on the role of a political demagogue now. There is no art here. He writes and sings slogans, which are not very interesting or evocative. I can think politically for myself and do not need this guy--who is pretty much locked in his own world---to tell me what to think. He drowns poor CSN; apparently their self esteem is so low they allow themselves to be less than sidemen. Maybe CSN should compose some songs of independence from Neil; his control certainly does them no favors. That said, the first song on the cd, the retake of What are their Names is done a acapella by all four and is evocative (Neil's voice actually blends in with the others!)

SAD
It's sad to see once-great musicians in this state, but that's no reason to spend good money on a travesty of a performance. I've you haven't already got "4 Way Street" (one of the best live rock recordings ever), spend your money on that instead.

vapid and completely irrelevant
seeing as how my last review has mysteriously vanished...
Unless you want to hear the sound of a bunch of over-the-hill sixty-plussers doing their level best to pound that final nail into their communal coffin...avoid this ghastly release. With the exception of Graham Nash [who's 'Military Madness' provides one of the low points here...of many it must be said]; not one of the other three can claim to be up to much in the vocals dept. As for the guitar playing....come on Neil, don't you think there's more to it than just relying on the old distortion pedal to hide your inadequate soloing???
'Living With Bore[dom]' would have been a more apt title chaps.
