Album Description
CD/DVD release. In October 2008, veteran rocker Stephen Stills played a career-spanning concert at Shepherds Bush that was captured for this 2009 CD/DVD set. Playing both solo-acoustic and full band sets, Stills touched on nearly every facet of his prolific career: Buffalo Springfield ('Bluebird', 'For What It's Worth', 'Rock & Roll Woman'); CSN ('Suite: Judy Blue Eyes', 'Helplessly Hoping', 'Southern Cross'); CSNY ('Woodstock', 'Carry On'); early solo ('Love The One You're With', 'Marianne'); Manassas ('And So Begins The Task', 'Isn't It About Time'); Stills/Young ('Long May You Run'); and later solo ('Treetop Flyer', 'Wounded World'). Other highlights include covers of Bob Dylan's 'Girl From The North Country' and Tom Petty's 'Wrong Thing To Do'.

 Stills is still good enough for me! February 11, 2010
gary hebda (westfield, mass)
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this release and I wasn't disappointed. Despite all the critical carping and snide potshots this guy has to take from far too many knuckleheads, the guy plays a great guitar! Hey, age takes a toll on all of us so we can't expect Mr. Stills to be what he was thirty plus years ago. We all lose a little off our fast ball as the years go by. Besides, the guy is an excellent song writer and his music does have an enduring and endearing quality to it. I'll take one song by Stills over ten of the incredibly over-rated, fatuous Neil Young. Stay the course Stephen, you're doing just fine!

People that haven't seen Stephen Stills in concert are always blown away by his guitar skills. This concert DVD does not have a dull moment and he can still suprise you with his writing and vocal skills. Find and buy this disc, you will become a Stills fan if you aren't already. Glad to see he has gotten his health back. I have bought every thing he has done and will continue to do so.
 Memorable gig from a 63 year old troubador December 28, 2009

I missed Still's first Shepherd's Bush gig and had to give my ticket away to a friend. He reported back that it was a good night especially the electric set. When I saw a repeat date at the same venue, I could not believe my luck but when I turned up on the night it was clear the prior concert had been good enough to warrant a further gig to be recorded live which is what we finally have available here.
I cannot add much to the other reviewer's comments on the specific details. The man is a great live performer whether playing either acoustic or electric and despite the odd performance glitches and rough edges. His voice at 63 is not quite what it was when many of the originals were recorded but still better than I expected and this set confirms my ears were not deceiving me on the night. What this recording (especially the DVD which is a song by song repeat of the CD) shows is that Stills has not lost any of his love of playing - remember when he was everywhere in the late 60s post Buffalo Springfield guesting as the Texas session supremo on many others records and that is the spirit you see on display here around 40 years later.
The electric set probably has the edge with Stills able to expand and stretch out to best effect on lead guitar and with two of the three support band members being from the Joe Walsh band of the 1970s makes the version of "Rocky Mountain Way" even more pleasurable.
 I agree--Stills is tired--nothing new here December 23, 2009

I agree with the two other reviews saying Stills is tired here. Nothing is inspiring here and Stills looks like he is going thru the motions. His guitar solos are good, however his voice sounds weak (due to age I guess) and I was tired of the whole thing by the third song both solo and with his band. I think he should just stay with CSN where he still shines around his fellow singers Crosby and Nash. He lacks the inspiration playing with his band. He needs Young to step up and challenge him on stage to really get him going with guitar and Crosby/Nash to step up his vocals. I was disappointed with this CD/DVD and will probably put it back in the collection for a repeat playing once in a while (maybe).
Matches his live performances December 15, 2009
Dennis R. Goodwin (United States)
Stephen Stills is undoubtely one of the finest musicians of the last 40 years and he displays not only his songwriting craft here but his skills as a guitarist. Stills has been overlooked by the majority of the music world as a guitarist, they obviously have never played guitar. Stills ranks up their with Beck,Hendrix (which he onced lived with). The cd opens with a acoustic set that demonstrates he still has the chops Treetop Flyer, 4+20, Blind Fiddler are not songs for beginners as the style of playing is Travis picking something that has been largely overlooked in todays music. And then we move on to the electric part of the show again highlighting his skills as a guitarist. I caught Steve live (solo) about a decade ago and it was one of the best shows that I have seen far superior than seeing Neil Young or CSN live. Is Steve a "performer" like Bowie or Iggy Pop, no he is a musician who loves his craft which this cd and dvd aptly demonstrate. I just wish that he would get back in to the studio and release some new material.
