CSN plus or minus Y at Woodstock

It has rained here in Chicago for three straight days - just to get us in the mood. In the Lang book, we are at T-minus two days out. We learned of the true blessing and great guy Max Yasgur is and was. Lang is clearly the visionary - but huge props to Max. Déjà Vu is the first album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, from 1970. CSN (sans y) did put out a first album in 1969. Lang tells us in the book he (they) played the "new" CSN album over the PA system at Woodstock before the first acts played - to try to keep everyone cool. Buffalo Springfield was S&Y's previous band. I played Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, from the Woodstock record recently - and though it sounded pretty rough, the tell-tale vocal harmonies were clear. There is a version of Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock" on this record. Woodstockers Jerry Garcia and John Sebastian play on this record. Note: we just read in Lang's book at the last minute - Ahmet Ertegun, of Atlantic Records (CSNY's label) steps in and signs for the live recording rights to make the Woodstock 3-record album.
