I know what you mean, but 2006 was a different beast than the norm.

It is my greatest regret that I never saw CSNY in the same 'room' together. One of mine too. I should have taken an aeroplane ride in either 2000 or 2002. Jules Or 2006.... |

There were some hideous 'CSNY' albums around then...CSNY's American Dream, Stills' Right by You, Nash's Innocent Eyes, Neil's Landing on Water etc etc etc. Ghastly, with the odd nice song drowning in over production and nasty keyboards... I like Neil's songs on American Dream. And about one each by Croz and Stills. Jules |

I find it quite bizarre that anybody could like the first three albums but be not overly keen on the fourth. It's almost literally the conclusion (most would say zenith) of that particular body of work. Exactly this. Jules |

My gateway to Joni was In France They Kiss On Main Street, played by, I think Richard Skinner on his evening Radio 1 show around 1980. From there I inevitably went to The Hissing Of Summer Lawns which proved to be a great starting point because from that portal nearly everything else is more accessible. Because of the timing I actually went forward from there before I went backwards so I love Wild Things Run Fast and Dog Eat Dog (Chalk Marks In A Rainstorm not so much) which is, I know, a minority opinion. And the run of albums from Night Ride Home onwards is pretty great.
Ultimately though I am with Jules, Blue is the pinnacle among pinnacles but not by much. On any given day I might also pick Ladies Of The Canyon, Court & Spark or Hejira. I wish I could get hold of the recent Quadio set but it is madly expensive in the UK if you can get it at all. |

I offer myself up as an example of the problem they face. When I first went to Cropedy I was in my 20s. I was was working, had a healthy disposable income was fit, adventurous and enthusiastic. My main emotion was excitement. And that was sustained for about 25 years
Now I am in my 60s. My pension will not really stretch to the ticket cost. My knees ache. My back aches. I have various other health niggles. I don't want to crawl around on the ground or sit in a big field in a rainstorm without shelter with 15,000 other people. It all seems like an ordeal when there are much more accessible and manageable alternatives. My main emotion is foreboding. I suspect I am not alone |
