CSNY Deja Vu Details

Total Disappointment

If you watch this hoping to see a classic concert by a reformed CSNY forget it. The film consists mostly of interviews and the whole CSNY tour presented is a vehicle for anti Iraq war propaganda. It seems Neil Young has used the others to promote his new anti-war songs as if we live in the same era as the anti Vietnam protests of the late sixties (which we do not). Young is Canadian and Nash a Brit so American politics is really none of their business. The other two look pretty old and bloated - neither have led lives to put them in any position to critises anyone (Crosby spent time in jail, Stills is an unrecognisable fat old man these days). The few snippets of live concerts are limited and only confirm that CSNY can no longer hack it.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Worth a look

Good documentary and if you like CSNY together or on their own then worth a look but if you're looking for a good concert DVD this isn't it. Not too much in the way of music and what songs there are tend to be interupted by talk as Mr Young drives his point of view home using other people's words and opinions. Not as insightful as it would like to be and the polemic dulls the message.
