late random thoughts by Bill Hoerner
Just got home from the show and a long show it was.
The boys came on at 8:15, took a 20 minute break at 9:30, and then
played until about 12:05. About 3 hours 25 minutes of music.
Setlist was similar to last time, with a few surprises.
I thought Neil looked awesome, black shoes, black jeans, black shirt,
black t-shirt, and a hat. (I'm not enough of a hat expert to tell you
what kind.) His hair was long -- past his shoulders. I think Neil
looks cooler with long hair.
Behind the boys was a large wall... Almost looked like a giant (and I
mean giant) bulletin board. It was covered with sheets of paper... I
will guess that they were some of the victims from 9/11. During
RITFW the wall was lit red, white, and blue.
All in all the show was good. I had to remind myself that Neil was part
of the band. I kept wanting him to go off.
Another note: several people started leaving about 11:30. The boys
just kept playing...
Well, just some late, very random thoughts.

review by Joel Sensenig
Well, they "made it through" the first night of the
tour, as Crosby said toward the end of the show. Here are a few
of my impressions:
- Neil's new songs were all really good, particularly Goin' Home.
Let's Roll was very strong as well. All four of his new songs
received a good ovation from the crowd.
- As was mentioned before, Neil took on MUCH, MUCH more of a "team
player" role last night, compared with in
2000. While this is probably
a good thing for the CSN fans out there, it came as a bit of a
letdown to me and the two Neil diehards sitting next to me. While he
certainly did his share of swaying with Old Black and a host of others,
it wasn't until RITFW -- the second to last song of the night --
that he really got COOKIN'. And boy did he.
- Even the shortened version of Southern Man seemed to be
rather conservative. As I said when I was walking out of the Palace,
Neil seemed restrained through much of the show.
- Couple quotes from the night:
Crosby: "Thanks for coming out tonight. We could probably have
about this much fun playing in the garage, but not quite."
Crosby: "This is our first night. If you look close, you may
see us make some mistakes. I know, it's hard to believe. I might forget
some lyrics."
After which Stills responded: "Have a senior moment."
Neil: [During the acoustic session]
"This is our first night with these
stools." Drew some laughs.
- Overall, the show was good, but there's plenty of room for
improvement, which is a good thing for those seeing them later
I suppose.
If the 2000 show was an 11 out of 10, I'd say this one was a 7 (but
maybe I just have my standards set too high). Here's hoping for more
at the Cleveland show.
