All told, 4 Way Street spent 13 weeks in the Top 10. The album featured numerous tunes that were not officially part of the group's catalogue including David Crosby's Byrds outtake “Triad” and the recent Déjà Vu castoff “The Lee Shore” Graham Nash's “Right Between The Eyes,” the yet-to-be Songs For Beginners standout “Chicago” along with a preview of Neil Young's then-upcoming After The Gold Rush album with - “Don't Let It Bring You Down” and “Southern Man.”Īmong the highlights on the set was Stephen Stills' jaw-dropping solo piano reading of “49 Bye-Byes,” which incorporated his Buffalo Springfield favorite “For What's It's Worth,” along with a rap, called “America's Children,” detailing the state of the “Woodstock nation.” The first half of the album featured CSNY performing acoustically with the second electric set including their rhythm section featuring bassist Calvin “Fuzzy” Samuels and drummer Johnny Barbata.Īpart from being culled from several different shows, 4 Way Street is one of rock's most honest live albums, with Stephen Stills demanding absolutely no studio sweetening or fixes be added to the tapes - much to the chagrin of David Crosby and Graham Nash.Ĥ Way Street topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for one week, displacing Janis Joplin's Pearl, before it was knocked out of the top spot by the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers. The collection was recorded in June and July 1970, during the group's tour in support of its massive second album, Déjà Vu, and was taped at New York's Fillmore East, The Forum in L.A., and the Chicago Auditorium. It was 52 years ago today (May 15th, 1971) that Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young hit Number One with their released their first live album, the double-disc chart-topper, 4 Way Street.
