As part of a tour promoting his newest record "Sky Trails", David Crosby and his band played a gig at Burnsville Minnesota's Ames Center Thursday night. Many members of his current band, including his son who plays keyboards, he has collaborated with over the years on solo efforts. There was a blend of old and new, as well as solo and group material that was interwoven into last night's set. Crosby is 76 years old, and still has the passion and the fire to continue performing, and creating new music for legions of fans who have followed him since the days of Crosby, Still, & Nash (when he teamed up with fellow songwriters Stephen Stills and Graham Nash), or, even further back than that, when Crosby was part of The Byrds.
Another band that was heavily represented in last night's show was Crosby's group CPR (Crosby, Pevar & Raymond). CPR was a later group that included two other members also on stage for last night's show. Crosby's son and keyboardist James Raymond, and guitarist, Jeff Pevar. So, there was a wide variety of songs, both old and new, that legions of fans who attended last night, really enjoyed. Crosby, in between the songs, had a myriad of stories to tell from a long career and life that has seen it's share of good times and bad.
David Crosby shows that even in nostalgia, and past glories, new, relevant music can still be created that revitalizes an artist's career and perhaps even their life, and Thursday's Ames Center gig proved that. Here's the full show set list.
