Live At Fillmore East, 1969 (1969)

""Live At Fillmore East, 1969" is mixed and mastered from the original eight-track tapes, documenting the final show of the run. Sounding surprisingly fresh, even 55 years after it was recorded, the 17-song set list of "Live At Fillmore East" covers a lot of ground, delivering on everything it attempts. The acoustic set kicks off with a high-spirited version of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," with the group trying new vocal sidebars and harmony ideas different from the version recorded just months earlier for the Crosby, Stills, & Nash album. CSNY also perform "Helplessly Hoping" (cracking each other up as they do), "Guinnevere", "Lady Of The Island" and "You Don't Have To Cry" from their debut album during the acoustic set, as well as a cover of the Beatles' "Blackbird" and the then-yet-to-be-recorded "Déjà Vu" track "Our House," performed solo on Hammond organ by Graham Nash and lovingly dedicated to Joni Mitchell, whom he wrote the song for and about."
