Summary:
From the first public Mime Troupe events in 1965 to his untimely death in 1991, Bill Graham set the standard for excellence in concert presentations and in doing so, redefined the art of communication for an entire generation. To honor Bill Graham, Steve Kahn and Melissa Gold, the BGP staff organized a free concert in Golden Gate Park for Sunday, November 3. Mother Nature cooperated and provided a comfortable and cloudless day as 300,000 people gathered in the Polo Field of Golden Gate Park.
Although the Grateful Dead were expected to make an appearance, the list of performers was kept well under wraps and few had any idea who exactly would be performing. It didn't seem to matter though, as the feeling that permeated the crowd was one of quiet reflection. This concert marked the end of an era, but also memorialized Bill Graham in a manner that was fitting - a free concert in the heart of where it all started. The sad circumstances aside, this was truly a celebration of Graham's life and as the poster for this event noted, it was to be a day filled with Laughter, Love and Music.
A rousing welcome greeted the second extended set of the day, which brought together Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Rarely a polished band onstage, this set is more ragged than usual, but to some degree that is part of the charm of this impromptu performance. There is no rhythm section here; just the four musicians and their distinctive voices. Other than occasional electric guitar work from Stills and Young, the set is instrumentally an acoustic affair, utilizing only guitars and harmonica.
They begin with Nash's anthemic "Teach Your Children," engaging the audience to sing along. Next up is Stills' "Love the One You're With," in a rare acoustic arrangement. The melancholy harmonica intro to Neil Young's "Long May You Run" and the relaxed groove he soon creates on this song is one of the highlights of their set. The lyric and the inherent sadness in Young's vocal seems to resonate and reflect on the day.
Crosby's "Long Time Gone" features some interesting electric lead guitar work from Stills, but ultimately suffers from the lack of rhythm section and Crosby's shouting, as opposed to singing, the vocal. "Southern Cross" fares slightly better, but again it is Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that brings out the most thoughtful and harmonious interplay.
Recognizing this, they deliver another engaging performance. The vocals are now stronger and the extended jam treatment given to "Wooden Ships" lends itself to some nice interplay between Stills and Young, with Crosby's unique rhythm guitar propelling things along for nearly ten minutes.
They close their set with Neil Young's "Ohio;" a strange choice indeed! This, possibly to Neil's delight, is ragged beyond belief, complete with out-of-tune guitars and extremely ragged vocals. Nonetheless, the audience seems to enjoy it and is soon repeatedly singing "four dead in Ohio," as the group exits the stage.
Following a few brief announcements from Jerry Pompili, he introduces Wavy Gravy, who engages the audience to do their part in cleaning up the park. He ends his brief speech, with "OK. Let's Party!" anticipating the next band to take the stage: the Grateful Dead.

Happy birthday, David. Watching on his birthday in 2022.

[@AngryRantsAndStuff]

This is a spectacularly uncoordinated arrangement and they seem out of sync with each other. Perhaps they are better without Neil Young, but I'm not saying it's his fault here.

In my humble opinion..there cannot be a bad version of this beauty-full song.

[@bizyz]

amen to that.

[@joe22589]

Sorry, but I disagree. This version is horrible. The guitars dont match in volume and are completely out of the pocket, the electric guitar is not properly tuned, the arrangement is really bad - it sounds like a school band. Bad showmanship and not really rehearsed.

[@RobertBeerbohm]

I was there. a somber day of reflection. I was honored to have met a few times and know aspects of Bill Graham when I was engineering a Rick Griffin art gallery back in 1991. Sixty members of his staff volunteered their time, energy, June 1 to inaugurate our Grand Opening. A total sense of dedication from those he picked to work closely around him. Then in Aug we lost Rick, a few months later went Bill. For some of us life just was never the same again.

[@djroxanne4429]

Robert Beerbohm sorry to hear that!! but you have a wonderful memory of him, them..

[@robertbeerbohm8317]

Deej dawn-roxanne Over the years I inter-acted with Bill Graham upwards of a dozen times. All mine were positive energy. As Jerry Pompelli could attest I supplied the very last music artifact needed to re-complete the Bill Graham archives following the fire bombings in to the old BGP HQ down off around the 101 curve towards Army St It was the ultra rare Fillmore #7 handbill from 1966. Got it for a hundred, sold it to BGP for same via Jerry coming on down to my Haight at Masonic location circa 1990 or so. Jerry P made specific mention any one else would have soaked 500 for it then. It was NM/M white paper. When I began engineering the multi-levels towards our Rick Griffin Art Gallery thru first half of 91 BGP solicited our business for matting and framing. More meetings and such. Seemed near every one there was in awe of Rick Griffin. Most of the meetings were Bill, Rick and this lowly lost soul. Sure were fun times and many excellent memories.

I remember the day Bill died. I had an appt across the city (san francisco); Cancelled it bc of traffic. Went to gg park instead. Great day of music and remembering the great Bill Graham

[@robertaker7004]

I want to disagree with most of these comments.I am 70 years old and remember the 60's ....seeing this performance under the California sun on a cool fall day in 1991 was like stepping out of a time machine to that moment in time,,to see four of the legends of rock, country/folk up on that stage( in middle age) knocking out a CSN legendary song playing classic Martin acoustic guitars and a Fender Telecaster..all together in front of that great crowd..who cares if a guitar was a little out of tune or if Stills cranked his telecaster some..it was cool as hell, that stage performance kicked ass.and the camera/editing work was great..none of that jerk, jerk ,jerk editing in modern rock videos or performances..watch that on a big computer screen or HD Television, crank up the sound and it was like you had gone back in time and were right there in the audience! It was awesome seeing those legends perform together live with that great crowd spread out in the park..Wish I could have been there! Grahm Nash stole the show,, man he's good!

correction and discipline are good for children, if a child has his own way, he will make his mother ashamed of him. Proverbs 29:15 . Train up a child in the way he should go , for when he grows old he will not depart from it Proverbs 6:15. Children must always obey their parents for that pleases the Lord . Colossians 3:20
