    Een mooie zwoele zomeravond in het Amsterdamse bos.
    Hieronder de setlist..


    1 Wasted On The Way (Crosby,Still & Nash song) filmed by info4allat

The B-side was the David Crosby composition "Delta".


    2 Marrakesh Express    (Crosby,Still & Nash song)

     “Marrakesh Express” is a song written by Graham Nash and performed by the band Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN). It was first released in May 1969 on the self-titled album, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and released on a 45-RPM single in July of the same year, with another CSN song, "Helplessly Hoping,"[1] as its backing side. The single reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 23, 1969.[2] It reached the same position on the Easy Listening chart.[3]

     3 Bus Stop (The Hollies) filmed by Arthur

     Bus Stop is the fourth U.S. album by the British pop band the Hollies, released on Imperial Records in mono (LP-9330) and rechanneled stereo (LP-12330) in October 1966. It features songs ranging from both sides of the band's then-current hit single to material recorded in the Hollies' early days on the UK's Parlophone Records in 1963, 1964 and 1965. The song "Oriental Sadness" had previously been issued in the U.S. on the Hollies' album Beat Group! earlier in 1966.




    4 I used to be a King (Graham Nash song)

     Songs for Beginners is British singer-songwriter Graham Nash's debut solo studio album, released in May 1971, and one of four high-profile albums released by each partner of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their chart-topping Déjà Vu album of 1970. It peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, and the single "Chicago" made it to No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has been certified a gold record by the RIAA.[4]

    5 Immigration Man (Crosby & Nash song) filmed by Arthur

     "Immigration Man" is a song written by Graham Nash and recorded by David Crosby and Graham Nash, released as a single in March 1972. It was the lead single for the duo's debut album, Graham Nash David Crosby. It peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is their only Top 40 hit as a duo.


     
    6 Sleep  Song

    7 Myself at last

     This Path Tonight is the new studio album and collection of 10 original songs from Graham Nash. Produced by Shane Fontayne, this is Nash's first solo record of new music in fourteen years. The album is one of reflection and transition of a singer-songwriter whose career (the Hollies, CSN, CSNY) has spanned more than five decades and counting.


    8 Military Madness   filmed by info4allat 

     “Military Madness” helped to get a lot of things off my chest. England had been bombed by the Germans, and when I moved to America I realized that the same issues were going on in Vietnam. The battle was raging, and I wanted to say something about the madness of the military agenda waging preemptive war – which is what happened later in Iraq and Afghanistan.(Graham Nash)

    9 To the last Whale  A Critical Mass B Wind on the Water

     Wind on the Water is the second album by Crosby & Nash, released on ABC Records in 1975. Cassette and 8-track tape versions of the album were distributed by Atlantic Records, to which Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were signed. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was certified gold by the RIAA.[2] Three singles were released from the album, "Carry Me," "Take the Money and Run," and "Love Work Out," of which only the first charted, peaking at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[3]


    10 A  Day in the Live (The Beatles cover) filmed by Ruby Tuesday
    --------------------



                                             11 Right Between The Eyes

     Over The Years… highlights songs from the iconic CSN debut album (“Marrakesh Express”) and its successor album Déjà Vu, for which Neil Young joined forces with CSN (“Our House” and “Teach Your Children”) as well as songs from subsequent CSN albums (“Just A Song Before I Go” and “Wasted On The Way”). In addition, the collection highlights songs that Nash recorded for his 1971 solo debut, Songs For Beginners, including “Military Madness” and “Simple Man,” and includes unreleased mixes for two other songs from that album: “Better Days” and “I Used To Be King.” The most recent recording on the compilation is “Myself At Last” from Nash’s 2016 solo album This Path Tonight.

     12 Lady of the Island   filmed by Arthur

     "Lady of the Island" is a folk song written by Graham Nash in the late 1960s. The song appears on Crosby, Stills & Nash's critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album. The song is notable for taking its inspiration from fellow folk musician Joni Mitchell, with whom Nash was romantically involved at the time. Although the album contains another love song to Mitchell, David Crosby's "Guinnevere", Nash told Mojo magazine in April 2009 that this potentially tricky situation did not create any problems. He explained: "The way that we went about our lives did not entail jealousy and it didn't entail raging about somebody being with somebody else's woman. Me and David and Joan didn't think anything of it, that's for sure.


    13 Just a song before i Go     filmed by info4allat 

     "Just a Song Before I Go" is a song by Crosby, Stills and Nash that appeared on the 1977 album CSN. It was also released as a single and reached number seven on the Billboard singles charts, becoming the band's highest charting hit. It is also one of the band's shortest songs, with a running time of only 2:14. In Canada, it peaked at number 10.
    The song was written by Graham Nash about leaving loved ones behind before going on a concert tour. It was written in Hawaii in about 20 minutes at the piano while Nash and Leslie Morris were staying with a friend, waiting for the rain to stop before leaving the house. The opening line came from the question: "You've got half an hour, why don't you just write a song before you go?"[1]

    14   4+20   filmed by Arthur
     Déjà Vu is the second album by trio Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their first as a quartet with Neil Young. It was released in March 1970 by Atlantic Records, catalogue SD 7200. It topped the pop album chart for one week and generated three Top 40 singles: "Woodstock", "Teach Your Children", and "Our House". It was re-released in 1977 as SD-19188 and the cover was changed from black to brown. In 2003, the album was ranked #148 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Certified septuple platinum by RIAA, the album's sales currently sit at over 8 million copies. It remains the highest-selling album of each member's career to date.

      Van Morrison - And the Healing Has Begun (album Into The Music)


       Into the Music is the 11th studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, and was released in August 1979. The record received widespread acclaim that year, and was named by critics as one of the year's best albums.



      And the healing has Begun
      Live at the Hollywood Bowl 21 April 2006

      John Allair,Robin Aspland-keyboards,Crawford Bell - Acoustic guitar,trumpet,backing vocals
      Cindy Cashdollar-steelguitar,Ned Edwards - guitar.David Hayes -bass,Kate Kissoon-backingvocals,
      Jason Robert -violin. Neil Wilkinson -drums.


      Biographer Brian Hinton calls it the central song in the album and perhaps in Morrison's whole career: "It starts just like 'Cyprus Avenue', no coincidence as the line about 'songs from way back when' hints, and with a walk down the avenue (of dreams), to the sound of a haunted violin. A song of full, blazing sex as well as revelation. The healing here is like that in Arthurian myth, the wounded King restored through the action of the Holy Grail, but it is also through as graphic a seduction, almost, as the original live version of "Gloria"'.
      Author Clinton Heylin concludes that "what makes the song, and indeed Into the Music work is its self-awareness. Gone is the awkward self-consciousness... It is replaced by a newly assured tone, born of a genuine awareness of what he (Morrison) was attempting

      Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

      "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a song written by songwriter Fred Rose. Originally performed by Roy Acuff, the song has been covered by many artists; such as Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Russell, and Charley Pride. Also the song was later recorded by Willie Nelson as part of his 1975 album Red Headed Stranger. Both the song and album would become iconic in country music history, and jump start Nelson's success as a singer and recording artist.

      "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"

       The version by Willie Nelson, recorded for his 1975 concept album, Red Headed Stranger, which was about a fugitive preacher on the run from the law after killing his wife, was lauded by country music historian Bill Malone as "a fine example of clean, uncluttered country music, [with] a spare arrangement that could have come straight out of the 1940s." Rolling Stone noted the song was delivered with his "jazz-style phrasing" and was "the beating heart of Red Headed Stranger."


      In the twilight glow I see her
      Blue eyes crying in the rain
      When we kissed goodbye and parted
      I knew we'd never meet again

      Love is like a dying ember
      And only memories remain
      And through the ages I'll remember
      Blue eyes crying in the rain

      Some day when we meet up yonder
      We'll stroll hand in hand again
      In a land that knows no parting
      Blue eyes crying in the rain

      Van Morrison - Saint Dominic's Preview


       Saint Dominic's Preview is the sixth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in July 1972 by Warner Bros. Records. Rolling Stone declared it "the best-produced, most ambitious Van Morrison record yet released."


       The title track, "Saint Dominic's Preview", was said by Morrison to have been composed after seeing an ad for a peace vigil to be held at St. Dominic's Church in San Francisco.[28] The song is written in a "stream of consciousness" fashion as with the Astral Weeks songs. Lyrics in the song refer to different stages of Morrison's life: "chamois cleaning all the windows" (teenage years) and "The record company has paid out for the wine" (his contemporary status as a pop music star). Erik Hage calls it "expansive and groundbreaking, representing an enlarging scope and ambition in Morrison's music.

       Shammy [chamois] cleaning all the windows,
      Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul.
      And I hear blue strains of "no regredior"
      Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame.

      Meanwhile back in San Francisco
      We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend,
      As we sit upon this jagged
      Storey block, with you my friend.

      And it's a long way to Buffalo.
      It's a long way to Belfast city too.
      And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
      'cos this town, they bit off more than they can chew.

      As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
      As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

      PINK FLOYD with Syd Barrett - See Emily Play/Arnold Layne.

      "See Emily Play" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd, released as their second single in June 1967.[4][5] Written by original frontman Syd Barrett and recorded on 23 May 1967, it featured "The Scarecrow" as its B-side. It was released as a non-album single, but appeared as the opening track of the American edition of their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). "See Emily Play" is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list and reached No. 6 in the United Kingdom singles chart.[6] As of 2018, the song has never been mixed to stereo, so the US album version was rechannelled and all subsequent reissues have been in mono.

                                                  
                                                 See Emily Play 
       These two singles were written by Syd Barrett. Of the 11 songs on the debut album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, which appeared in August 1967, Barrett wrote eight of his own and collaborated on two others. As an innovative guitarist, he investigated the musical possibilities of dissonance, distortion, feedback, echo machines and various sound effects on tape. The typical Pink Floyd guitar sound was obtained, among other things, because Barrett slid over the strings of his Fender Esquire guitar with a Zippo lighter and connected to an echo box.

       "Arnold Layne" is the debut single released by the English rock band Pink Floyd on 10 March 1967, written by Syd Barrett.


       Arnold Layne

      The song's title character is a transvestite whose strange hobby is stealing women's clothes and undergarments from washing lines. According to Roger Waters, "Arnold Layne" was actually based on a real person: "Both my mother and Syd's mother had students as lodgers because there was a girls' college up the road so there were constantly great lines of bras and knickers on our washing lines and 'Arnold' or whoever he was, had bits off our washing lines.

       The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the debut studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, and the only one made under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership. The album, named after the title of chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and featuring a kaleidoscopic cover photo of the band taken by Vic Singh, was recorded from February to May 1967 and released on 4 August 1967.[3] It was produced by Beatles engineer Norman Smith and released in 1967 by EMI Columbia in the United Kingdom and Tower in the United States, in August and October respectively. Two of the album's songs, "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive", became long-term mainstays of the band's live set list, while other songs were performed live only a handful of times.

                                                      ----------                                      -              
       Note from Arthur.
       I remember that I saw the single at the local music store, of course I listened to it, but what a strange music it was! It did not look like anything, but very different. In 1967  i saw them for the first live in Vlissingen (concert hall) then already with a beautiful lightshow and in my memory for that time hard! Syd Barret was in my opinion already replaced by David Gilmour (but I'm not sure) The in itself some lame movies give a nice time picture of the sixties.

      Let It Be - The Beatles (The movie)

      Let It Be is a 1970 British documentary film starring the Beatles and directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. The film documents the group rehearsing and recording songs for their twelfth and final studio album Let It Be, in January 1969. The film includes an unannounced rooftop concert by the group, their last public performance. Released just after the album in May 1970, Let It Be is the final original Beatles release.


      The world premiere of the film was in New York City on 13 May 1970. One week later, UK premieres were held at the Liverpool Gaumont Cinema and the London Pavilion. None of the Beatles attended any of the premieres. The Beatles won an Oscar for Let It Be in the category "Original Song Score", which Quincy Jones accepted on their behalf. The soundtrack also won a Grammy for "Best Original Score".
