Talk:Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

message: The group's Auditorium appearance in Chicago on Aug 16, 1969, is widely stated as having been their first concert, with Woodstock -- the next day -- being their second. But the site cited below, which appears authoritative, shows many club appearances in New York City and Ottawa in the fall and winter of 1968-69. That was before the release of CS&N's first album and well before Chicago and Woodstock. (It is unclear to me whether these are confused with the article's reference to rehearsals at Cafe au Go Go, and the article's exact timeline is unclear, so I am ignoring that.) The archive also indicates an appearance at the Fillmore East on July 25, 1969.  I have therefore added the words "major public" in describing Chicago and Woodstock.

thread_title:  History section 

message: In the course watching the "documentary" Shaking the Cage which is a bonus DVD feature to Easy Rider, it was mentioned that the group (sans Young if I am remembering accurately) was considered for providing the soundtrack music for the movie according to Peter Fonda. After viewing the rough cut with the temp music in place, the group declined with the "admission" that they could not improve on what was already there. Is this something worth including in this article? I'm up for doing so (with a re-watch of the feature to verify the info) if folks feel it would be beneficial to the article.

message: I know it's been brought up before, but given the focus on CSN, the fact that the vast majority of the group's existence has been as CSN, the opening has never been changed to reflect the article's title (which just shows that CSN is the most-well-known name), this article should be at Crosby, Stills & Nash.  I'd much prefer two articles, since they are really separate bands (different web sites for the longest time, etc.), at the very least this article should follow Wikipedia guidelines and be at the most commonly used name. 128.151.71.7 (talk) 16:24, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the need is necessary for a second article, but I would change the article to Crosby, Stills & Nash if it were up to me. Regardless of which collaboration was bigger, not only were their more CSN albums than CSNY, there were also four or five times more tours (if not more) by the trio. In the long run it seemed like CSN was the thing and Young was the occasional collaborator. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 04:19, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Title of article 

message: I don't know how we all want to do this, but it's not complete or entirely correct if we're using Young's stints in the group for benefit concerts. For example, we're missing 1990, and at the same time we're grouping in 2001 even though CSN continued on as a trio that year, and I'm unaware that Young worked with them. Either way some of these years need to go, and I don't care either way of whether or not Young is included for these one-offs. Consistency is the point.
