Déjà Vu Again

About This Show

Crosby, Stills Nash & Young were America’s first Super Group. Bill Graham referred to them as the “American Beatles”. Consisting of former members of the Byrds, the Hollies and Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y was based on the collaboration of four brilliant song writers, ethereal harmonies, unique tunings, masterful acoustic ballads, and aggressive rock & roll played on big body electric guitars blasting through Marshall stacks on 10. Perhaps 11 if you go by David Crosby’s assessment of the stage volume.

Our House, Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Guinivere, Lady of the Island, Find the Cost of Freedom and Helplessly Hoping introduced seamless harmonies that are recognized instantly. Rockers like Wooden Ships, Woodstock, Southern Man and Ohio breathed fire and revolution and drove kids to their local music stores clamoring for their first electric guitar. Despite intense personal conflicts, break ups, reunions, drugs, women, more break ups, more drugs and still more reunions, they created eight massively successful albums that owned FM radio. They played standing room only arenas for decades. No American band of their time had as big influence on the shape of popular rock music.

All four members are two-time inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Deja Vu Again is currently the only touring tribute in the US that recreates both their electric and acoustic material in loving detail.
