Drove Through Rain to See Magic: David Crosby Concert Review

  • Date of Concert: November 5, 2017
  • Location of Concert: The Kent Stage in Kent, OH
Well, I had to drive through the worst storm I’ve ever driven through to get to my last concert of 2017.
But you know what?!
It was worth it.
Because I went to The Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio to see one of my favorite singer/songwriters ever.
Mr. David Crosby
I
have now seen all of Crosby, Stills, and Nash solo.
Now, if they’ll just reunite again, maybe even with Neil Young (hopefully seeing him next year).
Hey, I can dream.
But anyway, all are brilliant solo, too.
Especially David.
I’ve been a fan for 19 years, but for the past few months, I have really dove in on his albums.
He has a great discography.
Solo, CPR, CSN, CSNY, The Byrds.
All great stuff.
He’s promoting his new solo album Sky Trails (my album of the year).
At 76, he has put out three masterpiece albums within a 4 year period (Croz in 2014, Lighthouse in 2016, and Sky Trails recently).
I’m in awe of this guy.
I was in the 4th row Center!
His band is incredible.
It’s basically CPR (Crosby Pevar Raymond) and some other AWESOME musicians/singers too.
He and the band were definitely having a great time, totally in the groove, jamming, and really feeling the music, which is the way it should be.
Yeah the drive to this show and the drive home was horrendous, but the show was MAGIC.
This was the perfect final show of the year for me.
I can’t wait for 2018.
My last year of concerts?!
We’ll see.
Love and Peace everyone.
