Rock Spot 3/16/2019 Graham Nash.
Its hard to write a rock spot that would truly do justice to this incredible talent. Rock Spots purpose is not to tell you Graham was in the Hollies, and yes, he played Bus Stop, or to tell you his life story. He has written a book which I cant wait to read, and he told a great story before each song. Fans of CSN & Y were not disappointed...Graham shared that he saw Joni Mitchell not too long ago and that she was doing ok before asking the audience to sing to Our House. Graham shared that Just a Song before I go was the highest charting song of the group and written on a dare. He shared his views on the current state of affairs before playing Military Madness, and Chicago, sharing the back stories of those songs as well. He performed Marrakech Expresss, and Wasted on the Way, as well as paid homage to his friend John Lennon performing A Day in the Life. He sang Love the One You’re With. He played Better Days as well as Myself at Last, showing that his solo songwriting chops are as strong as ever. He gave the audience a 20 minute intermission, as “he had to pee.” When he returned the energy ramped up. He was performing with two great musicians and the harmonies were still intact. The story behind Winchester) Cathedral was quite comical as he described doing mind expanding drugs at Stone Henge and hugging the stones. What struck me was that you could hear every note, and a pin drop in the Civic. (Which Graham made a joke about not having a ceiling since there are stars up above) It was a true musical connection as each song washed over, and each memory. I had treated myself to a massage earlier in the day, releasing some strange muscle memory. This freed up my muscles to remember lots of amazing memories to these songs....they washed over me and I was in a reverie along with my friends Beth and Mike, riding the Marrakesh Express of Memory together....am radio, first LPs and 45s purchased, family car trips, singing along to these song
