Movie Reviews of CSNY / Deja Vu
Movie Review: Warning: How many times will you watch this documentary ?
Summary: 2 Stars
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.

Movie Review: Waste of time...
Summary: 2 Stars
I love CSNY and based on the title I was hoping to see footage with all 4 on stage again...playing their wonderful tunes...expectations of a "4-Way Street" type reunion.
But instead of a concert, this DVD is 'about' the nationwide Iraq tour, almost nothing in the way of music except some snippets from the ends of songs and interviews with fans outside the venues. Talky and boring.
Sorry Neil, but this is a real waste of a DVD. How about releasing the actual concert footage?
Movie Review: This Settles the Debate-Original IS Better than Extra Crispy!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
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!!!Movie Review: Too much politics, too little music
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this DVD hoping to see a CSNY concert. What I got was a political lecture. Even though I totally agree with CSNY's politics, I found the movie to be boring. Needs more music. 'Nuff said.Movie Review: What a waste!!! All protest and no concert....
Summary: 1 Stars
First let me say that I've always been a fan. Love their music and own most of their DVDs.
If you want to watch Iraq war protest this is for you. If you're expecting to watch Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young perform live music Do NOT buy this!
I have no problem with them protesting the Iraq war. I just didn't want to waste my time and money watching them protest. They can do that for free. Heck, they are all millionaires.
I'm not. I spent my money to watch them perform their music. My mistake...
I almost forgot to mention that it appears that the DVD I received has the something off center as no matter what DVD player I put it in it makes a loud rattling sound.
I think Amazon has made a mistake listing this as a music DVD as there is mostly talking on this.
Bottom line, if your considering buying this because you like their music and harmonies don't buy it, you will be disappointed.
