Can they still sing? Can they still play? Can they still write songs? Yes. Jim and I went to the Crosby, Stills and Nash concert last night at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel here in Las Vegas. (I can tell I'm tired because I already made 4 typos.) They sound fabulous. Graham Nash said they're 70 years old. According to my calculations, this means that if you include the time before they got together, they've been singing and playing for at least 50 years. They performed for over two and a half hours, sang many of their hits and sang some of their new songs. During the second set, we really got a chance to appreciate the beautiful harmony and how well those voices have held up. Plus at the end of the set, they really rocked (as promised by Graham Nash). Stephen Stills is a monster on the guitar!
We had great seats about 10 or 12 rows back in the center of the room. The audience was made up mainly of 40 to 70-year-olds:) A man and woman came in with two boys in their late teens or early twenties and sat down two rows in front of us. Before the concert started, the man stood up and announced to the audience that his sons were there only because he had bought them tickets and made them go:) I think the boys ended up having as good a time as the rest of us.
This was a big night for us. We're usually in bed by 9:00 and up by 4:20. The concert started at 8:00 and ended at 11:00. Then we had to drive 30 minutes to the other side of town because we're dogsitting. We got home around 12:30. We got up at the usual time so we could run over to let our furry grandchildren out. I think I'm ready for a nap and it's only 8:12 a.m.!
I hope all is well with everybody. I've been following your blogs and enjoying the art even though I haven't been posting. I'm back now and plan to do some painting and posting...but now, I'm going back to bed. Please forgive any typos I may have missed.
