1974 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young was a legendary reunion tour, playing 30 US cities and sets containing well over 40 songs, which translated to some shows lasting over 4 hours! Nine of these shows were professionally recorded on multi-track tapes to capture the best quality of sound along with performance.
The box set features 8 songs filmed at the Capital Center in Landover, Maryland and Wembley Stadium.
In a recent interview, Graham Nash told Rolling Stone “This is the most difficult project I’ve ever done in my recording life”. He later tells Rolling Stone one of the many issues holding back this release was Neil Young’s obsession over audio quality, “Neil Young, God bless his cotton socks, has always wanted the audio to get as close to the recording experience as possible, he wanted us to do it in 24/192, and that’s what we did. Of course, that happened one-third of the way into the project, so we had to redo an awful lot of stuff. But it sounds totally amazing. There’s 40 songs and they’ll show people that we were a very, very decent rock band.”
