Cover: The cover is nice, with some very slight bumps to the corners; no obvious ring wear. NO writing, NO barcode. The back of the sleeve state it is from 1973, but that is not true! The sleeve has been stored in a plastic sleeve since I bought it in the late 1980s. It has then been stored in high quality flight cases since then.

History: By early 1972, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were enjoying massive success, both as a group with tremendous album sales, and as a touring band in high demand. Individually, they had recently recorded career-defining solo albums, but had not toured together in well over a year, which heightened the frenzy for any public appearance.

This Sheriff's Benefit concert - to help raise awareness of prisoner issues - featured local groups Earth Rise and Stoneground opening for Elvin Bishop and headliners Crosby-Nash, who had recently recorded their first self-titled duo album. Neil Young was a very welcome surprise guest during the Crosby-Nash set. To say the three of them together was a momentous occasion in March of 1972 is not overstating it, as these guys were at the peak of their popularity.

A rare acoustic affair featured a few CSNY favourites, "Wooden Ships", two tracks from Déjà vu, "Teach Your Children" and "Almost Cut My Hair", as well as new tracks from their solo albums, "Southbound Train," "And So It Goes" and "Immigration Man." Crosby's acoustic guitar playing and harmony vocals greatly enhance much of Nash's material. In addition to the aforementioned Crosby numbers, the pair performs a lovely acoustic rendition of "All Along the Lee Shore" and Crosby debut's "Page 43."

The duo then invites Neil Young to the stage. He performs "Only Love Can Break Your Heart.”, and the classic ‘Harvest’ track "The Needle and the Damage done".
