An early review of the song described it as a “terrific new rocker… sounds like it will rank among their best single songs.” They were right.
The unique venue’s natural acoustics and enclosed structures created a warm, detailed sonic environment that offered a clarity and intimacy unmatched by traditional stadium settings.
His stunning solo debut, arriving when CSNY was in flux, exemplified Nash’s ability to navigate the divide between desire and despair.

The concert featured their formidable Relayer lineup—Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz.
The set chronicles the full creation and fruition of the supergroup’s—Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce—1968 groundbreaking third album.
