 Let's Impeach the President for lying! November 4, 2008
I saw this concert.....three times. It just kept getting better and better.
What makes the movie good is Neil Young's unflinching look at the people who love the message of Living With War music and those who loathe it. And they do loathe it. It's kind of funny watching the people in Atlanta react so angrily to the song "Let's Impeach the President".
Of course the old stuff is great and the interviews with CSN are what you'd expect but the interviews with the veterans is very emotional.
Buy this product. Oppose the war. Vote for Peace.
Something is rotten in Denmark, Neil October 28, 2008

I'm sure I would give this DVD a higher rating if I could actually SEE it. However, both the copy Amazon sent me and the replacement copy I also received would not play on my DVD player. (I have never had similar problems with any other DVD I own.) The disks, despite no apparent defects, would rattle around but not actually load up. Given the content of the film, and this being an election year, I'll confess to feeling a mite paranoid. So I guess I'm being a kind of whistle-blower here. I really would like to see this documentary, but Amazon said they won't send a second replacement copy. I'll try to contact Lion's Gate and Neil's people as well. Has anyone else experienced these difficulties?
 Warning: How many times will you watch this documentary ? October 18, 2008

The sparse musical offering on this dvd begs the question, "How many times can, or will you, watch this documentary?" The answer should figure into your purchasing decision. Currently, it's available for $9.99, a relatively reasonable price--not much of a financial loss--for an item that might not have a lasting shelf life in your collection. Video dvds require undivided attention and a considerable block of time, unlike audio media (I've gone through no less than 25 versions of the Deju Vu album and various tapes), where you're able to engage in several activities simultaneously.
"Woodstock" and "Gimme Shelter" are two of the best rock 'n' roll documentaries ever created, but how many times can you watch them and expect the same entertainment value? This is the problem with the CSNY dvd. Personally, I'd prefer to see a CSNY performance, and I'm hoping Nash continues to oversee their archive projects because he's intent on clearing out the garage,(Neil isn't the only one with a garage) and making the material available to the public.
Although CSNY, apparently, weren't too enthused about their 1974 tour performances, I hope they remember that 60,000 people packed those arenas and stadiums on a nightly basis, enjoying those 3-hour performances, mistakes and all. By anybody's account, that is a significant number of people, worth exploiting in terms of marketing potential. It's a win/win situation, a marketing maverick's dream.
For the sake of CSNY fans everywhere, including me, I sincerely hope Obama's presidency is successful. I cringe at the thought of another DVD from CSNY (Deja Vu Two: The No Hope Tour) in protest of the next administration, but, maybe then, and only then, they'll return to making music! Father time permitting.

Oh My God.....Please...Remember these guys the way they WERE....The exception being Neil Young, who is still plenty relevant....If you're looking for music, there isn't much here....Lots of social commentary....I am in line with their views politically, but don't really need to see/hear it on DVD....This does have some relevance....Not so much musically, though...If you want that, go to see Neil sometime!!!
