This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary! Ah, dig it, dig it!"). On the other hand, the electric jams are enlivened by some charged guitar skirmishes between Stills and Young. Those who owned the original 2-record set will be pleased by the additional Graham Nash song ("King Midas in Reverse") and Young's acoustic "The Loner"/"Cinnamon Girl"/"Down by the River" medley. --Steven Stolder

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I have two major problems with this album. The first problem is a weird one - the first song, Suite Judy Blue Eyes, isn't actually on the CD. It is listed as Track 1, but Track 1 is 26 seconds long, the first 8 seconds are silence, and the remainder is the very end of Suite Judy Blue Eyes ("da da da da da... da da da da da"), and that's it! It is so bizarre, I am not sure how they can list it as a track.
The second is that I feel that many of the songs are played very sloppy. There is also a lot of talking before some of the songs (OK if you are actually at a concert, but not exactly what I want to hear on a CD).

Summary: Timeless and dated all at once
Comment: Yes there are moments on this recording that will make you wince or smile. It depends on your perspective. But there are other times (deep in jams of 'Carry On' or 'Southern Man') where these creative minds mesh and it is a wonder to behold. A second or 2, as the songs end, a pause as if the audience's jaws have to close before they can voice their approval. And it's easy to visualize the grins flashing between band members as the sonic dust clears. In my opinion, get this, Allman's 'live at the fillmore', and Stones 'get yer yaya's out', and you would have a pretty good idea of how live rock oughta be. Whatever the decade!

Summary: Great CD, Classic Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Comment: If you loved C,S,N & Y back then, you'll love this CD, brings back good memories of the times.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Classic CSN&Y
Comment: Sometimes you just have to go back to something that brought you to where you are now and enjoy it all over again -- 4 Way Street is exactly that. Live-concert recordings sometimes leave you wanting for sound quality -- but in the case of this CD -- it has been remastered -- and the songs are still THE songs that made it so great when it was first released over 3 decades ago. It has the best of the music that these four musicians made together at their prime - and many of the songs are as timely in their political impact in 2008 as they were when they were first written. This is an album that everybody who has ever listened to CSN&Y's music and loved the unmistakable harmonies these four singularly-talented artists made together must have.

Summary: Could have been better
Comment: I bought the original ablum back in the 70's. The sound quality was not very good. The "enhanced" and remastered CD is not much better.
