 A very relevant project December 2, 2008
I would admit to approaching this album with some trepidation having read some of the other reviews here.."sad".."travesty" etc, but for me the old guys have delivered a good live album in its own right and an essential companion piece to the DVD of the same name.
The sound quality is at best variable and the performances at times very raw [particularly Stills who was not in good health at the time] but this gives the album an immediacy and honesty missing from so many "live" albums, even their own otherwise enjoyable Four Way Street.
Young is of course the driving force of the project but the others get the sleeves rolled up and get stuck in, a good example being the storming version of Nashs Military Madness.
To understand what this album is all about I would strongly recommend viewing the DVD first which is not an in concert film but an objective and at times poignent record of what the "Living With War " tour was trying to acheive.
The only "sad" thing about this album is that some people appear oblivious to the bigger picture.

This is a great album with moving protest songs.
See the film first to fully dig it.
CSNY are not observers of life,they've got balls.
Neils 'Living With War' Live October 3, 2008

I'm a little surprised by some of the negative reviews of tis soundtrack to the movie album.Sure its a lot different to Neil's excellent Heart Of Gold movie,but to say its irrelevant is not too fair.Neils none too happy about the current situation he finds his adopted country in,so he expresses it in the best way he knows through his music.This CD recording wise is not as crisp a sound as I would have liked but CSN & Y are still in top form on a tour that would be controversial but many agreed with it.Sharing ones feelings has always come through music,and these guys have never avoided putting them into song.This is a challenging,at times hard album but surely within the film context it will be easier to follow.For all that,sound apart is an album all fans of the band and its individual members fans will buy and keep,and there are some very good songs as well...do give it a listen,its worth it.

A lot of Neil Young's work has been is very interesting and evocative. Not this cd. A recent convert from Reaganism, Neil has become preachy and political in the other direction. Apparently he is giving equal time to experience all kinds of political thought. Is he now a kind of descendent of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger? The songs do not connect to common people. Neil is trying on the role of a political demagogue now. There is no art here. He writes and sings slogans, which are not very interesting or evocative. I can think politically for myself and do not need this guy--who is pretty much locked in his own world---to tell me what to think. He drowns poor CSN; apparently their self esteem is so low they allow themselves to be less than sidemen. Maybe CSN should compose some songs of independence from Neil; his control certainly does them no favors. That said, the first song on the cd, the retake of What are their Names is done a acapella by all four and is evocative (Neil's voice actually blends in with the others!)

It's sad to see once-great musicians in this state, but that's no reason to spend good money on a travesty of a performance. I've you haven't already got "4 Way Street" (one of the best live rock recordings ever), spend your money on that instead.
