Product Description: This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary! Ah, dig it, dig it!"). On the other hand, the electric jams are enlivened by some charged guitar skirmishes between Stills and Young. Those who owned the original 2-record set will be pleased by the additional Graham Nash song ("King Midas in Reverse") and Young's acoustic "The Loner"/"Cinnamon Girl"/"Down by the River" medley. --Steven Stolder


Customer Reviews


5 stars Great CD, Classic Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
If you loved C,S,N & Y back then, you'll love this CD, brings back good memories of the times.


5 stars Classic CSN&Y
Sometimes you just have to go back to something that brought you to where you are now and enjoy it all over again -- 4 Way Street is exactly that. Live-concert recordings sometimes leave you wanting for sound quality -- but in the case of this CD -- it has been remastered -- and the songs are still THE songs that made it so great when it was first released over 3 decades ago. It has the best of the music that these four musicians made together at their prime - and many of the songs are as timely in their political impact in 2008 as they were when they were first written. This is an album that everybody who has ever listened to CSN&Y's music and loved the unmistakable harmonies these four singularly-talented artists made together must have.


2 stars Could have been better
I bought the original ablum back in the 70's. The sound quality was not very good. The "enhanced" and remastered CD is not much better.


5 stars Way cool man
So, I am too young to have been there for this. LOL I wasn't even born yet. I am all right with that. I grew up listening to this on vinyl. My parents were at one of the Chicago dates actually. I get into live albums mainly because you get to hear what the artists REALLY sound like, no (or not many anyway) studio tricks. These guys are the standard to which all others should strive to harmonize to. Awesome album, awesome group, awesome sound. It's worth buying if you're into songs like Ohio, Southern Man, or any song CSN&Y ever wrote. This is an absolute MUST OWN for anyone into music. It doesn't disappoint.


4 stars solid
I like this album, but I have a problem with the medley (consisting of three solo Neil Young tracks). Each one of them has been shortened dramatically. "The Loner" is now a short, acoustic slow song. "Cinnamon Girl" is better, perhaps because I prefer a version of this song that doesn't rock (not a fan of the studio version at all). It's better this way, believe me. Now we can hear the song with solid singing to back it up instead of lazy guitar riffs. However, this version of "Down by the River" may be the ultimate disappointment. While the vocals are good, this song is supposed to be a lengthy electric guitar jam. That's not what we get here, unfortunately. I don't have a problem with the rest of the album, though. It almost works as a greatest hits album when you think about it.
