  • About this album: an archival live album by the iconic rock band, capturing the group's legendary performance at New York City's Fillmore East in 1969. This was shortly after their performance at Woodstock and adding Young to the mix. Surviving band members Stills and Young compiled and mixed the original eight-track concert recordings with John Hanlon at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The album features two sets, one acoustic and one electric.
  • Metacritic Score: 91 (universal acclaim).
  • Grammy Nominations: None.
  • Song To Sample: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," an extended and epic performance of one of the band's signature songs.
  • Trivia Bonus: CSN&Y is often cited as the first true "supergroup," a band comprised of established musicians with successful solo careers. I saw CS&N (sans Young) many moons ago at Oak Mountain Amphitheater in Birmingham, Alabama. An all-acoustic show, and a great one.
