Crosby, Stills and Nash Nassau Coliseum Sunday, July 30, 1978

As I have said before, Crosby Stills and Nash concert memories are a bit of a blur as I have gone to quite a few but do have one particular CSN at Nassau Coliseum story that is memorable though. My childhood friend and concert buddy Joe Fisk and I manage to move up to the front left orchestra somehow, back in the day before tiered pricing and tough security. CSN were in the middle of their acoustic set but Joe Fisk and I were so pumped up to see our heroes up close, we were on our feet hooting and hollering during a particularly quiet moment in the show. A seated David Crosby looked down at us, glassy eyed with a big sh*t eating grin on his face, and happily said “What are you guys on?” After reading David Btowne’s outstanding biography of CSNY, I now have an idea of what David Crosby was up to back stage on those tours and why he might ask us that question.

Might As Well Have a Good Time

Rock on!
