Sorry to say that Stephen Stills has no voice left.....the highlight of the show was when Collins had the stage to herself, as she still sings like an angel. But listening to harmonies on CSN, Buffalo Springfield or Traveling Wilburys tunes was painful.
One of the best concerts I have been to in a long time.
Judy Collins can still sing albeit at a lower note. Stephen Stills sounded like his teeth didn’t fit. Ok for pure nostalgic value, otherwise skip it
Good show. Acoustics slightly off but very entertaining
It was nice to see Stills and Collins playing together and being happy on stage. They have a natural chemistry and compliment each other. Collins was particularly good. Her voice was in good form and she showed energy (for her age); notable in that she stood for the entire concert while Stills sat down at times. Stills' voice is mediocre at this point but Judy's voice often did smooth things out. A negative was that the sound of the theater was below par. Stills' guitar seemed muddy, the keyboard and base drowned out the other instruments much of the time. The mix seemed off and was never fully corrected. Stills' guitar playing lacked fluidity until later in the show when it really took off, particularly on Bluebird. It was great to hear them play a lot of their classic songs including Judy Blue Eyes Suite and For What It's Worth. The song selection was one of the best things about the show.. Overall it was a good time and definitely worth it for fans.
Not knowing at all what to expect, but curious (I had never seen Judy Collins live and Stephen Stills only in a band), I was very pleasantly surprised by this show. They performed together onstage the whole time, greatly supporting each others vocals and the respect (and affection) they showed for each other's work and each other was clear. One thing though--why do we have to have opening acts? No offense to this one, but I didn't come to hear him...
Great show. Would recommend, especially for 60's kids.
Stephen Stills was one of the best not only as a solo act but more as part of the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "mega group" Judy Collins I was never a big fan of but knew her music. They both were great, Stephen 73 and Judy 79 and to be realistic, you are not really ready for that. You have a picture, a sound in your mind of years ago which just isn't there anymore. My wife and I both 59 were somewhat of the younger folks in the crowd. They played well, sang OK and the band was tight behind them. Will always love the music of Stephen Stills and as long as he can get up on stage and play, I will come and listen!!
My wife and I walked out of this concert after about 5 or 6 songs. Judy Collins and Stephen Stills could not harmonize their voices at all. We've seen Judy Collins by herself and she was fantastic. I don't know if it was the sound crew or the singers themselves. All I do know is that the show was a disaster IMHO.
Although Stephen’s voice is showing his age, this was a great night. Judy’s singing beautiful as always, song selection fantastic, Stephen’s Guitar playing awesome, the jam on Bluebird was fantastic. Nice venue, sound was “ok”. Really just wonderful, and closing with Judy Blue Eyes was brilliant.
The music was great! And the sound mix was nearly perfect. I never heard Judy Collins before but I loved her sound. I'm just in my 30s, but I've been a fan of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for many years. It was great to see Stills in action. I did not care too much for the opening act. Some guy named Kenny played. He was a great musician (I'm a musician myself, so I think I can authoritatively say Kenny was musically excellent!), but I didn't pay to hear him. Also, I have to say this: I am a Catholic Christian, so I really didn't appreciate some of Kenny's lyrics which seemed to demean Jesus (something about "Jesus won't save me but music will). I reckon he would never have sang negatively about Judaism or Islam. But alas, he imposed upon us one of the last acceptable prejudices in America: a prejudice against those who believe in Jesus. He also seemed to demean the pro-life cause. I did not like that either. Stills and Collins? Great music, great songs. I hope they come back to my area soon!
I was very disappointed in the show. I had great expectations which were not met. Stephen Stills didn’t remember the words to songs. Judy still has her voice but the show had no energy. We left halfway through the performance.
Judy still has an amazing voice; Steven Stills - not so much, forgot the words, not very good on many songs. It was good to hear For What it;'s Worth. and Judy singing acapella was fantastic. Would have like to see more of Judy's music and less of Stills.
Steven Stills has lost his voice and the harmony between Stills and Collins was terrible. When Stills sang solo I could only figure out the song from the guitar licks. Collins was, as always, in tune and has lost nothing. I did not appreciate Collins, political remarks, for I came to hear to hear her sing, I could care less about her political persuasion. Lynn Auditorium was good.
Fantastic! Stills was fabulous, as always, on the guitar, and Judy's voice is as wonderful as it ever was -- clear as a bell! If this show comes your way, don't miss it. Also Kenny White, who opened, was a master on the keyboard.
Being a bigger Stephen Stills fan than a Judy Collins enthusiast, I would have preferred more Stills’ songs. It seemed to me that Stills passed on many of his bigger hits for less popular songs in his portfolio. Also, what seemed odd to me considering that both artists have many of their own original songs, both played several songs that were made hits by other artists. As always, the Lynn Auditorium was a great venue for the concert and the sound system was fine. I could have lived without each Artists’ political views during the event and would have preferred to just listen to the music and light banter between Stills and Collins, rather than their obvious political slants. I guess in conclusion the concert was just OK. Maybe my expectations were a bit to high.
For a lifelong fan, this concert's principals were Judy's singing, Stephen's guitar playing, and the songs. All were there in abundance. Close your eyes and listen to Judy Collins' voice which, at 80, sounds like she is 20! Her pure tones and incredible range haven't aged a day. And Stephen Stills has long been my favorite guitarist. As on the Stills/Collins album, he played as well, if not better, than I've ever heard him. Although his solo voice is not what it was, singing with Ms. Collins unquestionably raises his game. Song highlights were "Helplessly Hoping", "Houses", "Handle With Care", "Bluebird", "For What It's Worth", "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", and Judy's astounding a Capella rendition of a song (unknown to me) about mothers and children, which was especially relevant and poignant. The final encore was, appropriately, the final two sections of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." Fifty years in, Stills and Collins are still a good fit. Long may they run!
If you're a Stephen Stills and Judy Collins fan, this concert is a little slice of heaven. Yes, Stills' voice is not what it used to be, but Collins voice is and their close relationship is apparent. What a treasure to hear about their lives and their story and we are all the lucky recipients. Every song was carefully chosen and sung from the heart. Exceptional and moving concert.
Judy Collins voice was as angelic as always. Steve’s guitar playing was amazing.
Still’s voice is shot. He is done. Collins was good.
