    It's so heartwarming to see a rock star of "elder years" still in peak form (sadly, more than can be said for many). In the words of David Essex: "Hey, did you rock 'n' roll? Rock on..." (PS and oh btw: the guy on elec guitar is outstanding)

They did the concert just like the album "4-Way Street"; playing as a band and then each soloing their own stuff. Ah...to be 19 again...

    He sounds good here, nearly 40 years down the road, and that electric guitarist is fine fine fine.

      I think I might have misinterpreted your comment at first- I thought you were blaming the govt. and the Republicans. Nash wrote this song because he was pissed off that he was detained at the Canadian border trying to get back into the US. He had an H-1Visa, and not American. It was as simple as filling out some forms, and some inconvenience- then he was good to go. Still rich, still famous- but this song is now some sort of anthem.

    I always thought this was a great song, an ode to the weary immigrant seeking refuge... then I read the real story of the entitled hungover rock star held up at the border having to fill out forms. Ever since then, the self-centered nature of Nash's songs have really been apparent. He is nothing but an egotistical, rich, entitled cry baby. Sadly. I used to love his music as the anthem of my generation until the reality came through. Oh well, there is still Neil and Croz.
