Crosby Stills and Nash – Hammersmith Odeon 29th March 1992

It’s such a shame considering how long I have liked Crosby Stills nash and Young that I never got to see all four of them together and the closest I got was seeing Crosby Stills and Nash at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1992. they played three nights and I went on the second night.

The Highlight of the show was undoubtedly Graham Nash playing Cathedral alone at the piano – he only played it on this one night so I was glad that I’d chosen this one. I think he played it for his mum who was in the audience!

The lowlight of the show was the insistence of Stephen Stills on playing an electric guitar (a flying V if I recall) on a number of songs in what was predominantly an acoustic concert!

Crosby told tales from his time in prison just before Almost Cut my Hair – about how he ended up going cold turkey from Cocaine addiction (like standing under a cold shower and flushing your money down the toilet) in a prison cell. He said the guards would come to the edge of his cell and shout to each other – look the hippy is puking again!

I’m glad I saw them when I did!
