Folk rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young have revealed that after years of grueling effort and disagreement, they are releasing a live box set of their 1974 reunion tour. Hear an exclusive recording of "Almost Cut My Hair" above.
It took the band a while to agree on how they would compile their best tracks from a notoriously difficult tour, where they admit they dealt with drug-related issues and constant quarreling. Thankfully, though, the tour happened when Neil Young was experimenting with new, unofficial material like "Goodbye Dick" -- written after Nixon resigned from office.
Graham Nash tells Rolling Stone:
This is the most difficult project I've ever done in my recording life. That's largely because of other people's agendas and trying to please four people at the same time. It only took us a year to actually do the physical work, but it took three or four years to get that work together... It was a very challenging tour. We tried to keep our spirits up and keep ourselves focused as a band, but with all the chaos going on and the distractions and the drugs, I'm amazed we got away with what we did, quite frankly.
The box set will feature either three audio CDs and a bonus DVD or an exclusively audio Blu-Ray disc and the bonus DVD. A limited edition deluxe version is also available. See the track listing below.
The set is scheduled for release on July 8th. Pre-order it on Amazon
