After seeing Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s Rusted Garage tour in New Jersey, next up was half of CSNY, and formerly good friends, David Crosby & Graham Nash playing the Westbury Music Fair in the round in December, 1986. I am pretty sure that it was during this concert when I witnessed David Crosby sing a cappella, without amplification, at the 1800 seat venue; the performance was stunning. David Crosby is a freak with amazing pipes to this day. It is unbelievable that with the abuse that David famously inflicted on his health and body for so many years, his voice is still magnificent; what a gift! As I recall, the band that evening consisted of Crosby, Nash with John Ferrentino on keyboards performing songs stripped down, yet still powerful, with their extraordinary harmonies on display. While it seems unlikely that the two will perform together again any time soon, David & Graham are still creating art separately, as true artists will do, and their rock and roll legacy is undeniable.

Out of the Darkness

Rock on!
