An Evening Like No Other
by KD33 on 9/9/17Humphreys Concerts By the Bay - San DiegoRating: 4 out of 5This magical evening with Stephen Stills and Judy Collins was a strange brew of exuberant nostalgia and delightful musicality. Nobody sings like Judy Collins. Her reditions of classic orginals like Suzanne, Both Sides Now and Chelsea Morning were as uplifting as the stories about Leonard Cohen she shared introducing them. And nobody plays or sings like Stephen Stills. Stephen's journey through four decades of lifetime memory hits created with Buffalo Springfield, CSN and on his own was a walk through my own life. Playing together, sharing the joys and challenges of their friendship over the years, striking harmonies to Suite Judy Blue Eyes, produced a blend of music the defies categorization. It may not have been the raspy, harmonic Stephen Stills or melodic Judy Collins voices of old, but there was a specialness to this evening I will always remember and cherish. Gratitude to Judy and Stephen for this bold venture.
