Summary: Saudade
Comment: Besides remarkable song writers, csny know how to exploit the music to delate politicians crimes. And they have done this over the last five decades with geniality. In spite of being a bit excessive long playing, this video brings back to memory through notes the dark days that menaced the world and the man kind. The flash of old and new images make us traveling in time. The songs are terrific...

Summary: Manufacturing defect
Comment: I would definitely recommend this title except, as others have also reported, I cannot play this disc on 2 of my 3 DVD players. I think the disc is unevenly weighted or out of round. It will not load up at all on my Sony player and on my Audiovox portable, it will play but it makes the whole player shake. I have returned and tried a total of 4 discs (all from different stores) and ALL have the same problem. I would love to recommend this DVD but until Lionsgate owns up and recalls the whole bunch, I cannot.

Summary: Not hard to say, but this is Bernard Shakey's finest film
Comment: Neil Young, in addition to being a legendary singer and songwriter, is also known as a slightly skewed filmmaker, directing under the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey". As a great fan of his, I've seen just about all of Neil's films and videos, and many are curiosities that would interest few beyond Neil's most devoted fans.
But CSNY/Deja Vu is a true FILM, a top quality documentary about, not only a concert tour, but about the war that inspired the songs they sing, and the relationship between today's war and the war of 40 years ago that first brought Crosby Stills Nash & Young to international stardom. In the end, the band plays a leading role, but not a dominant role in the film. It is more about the several soldiers, former soldiers, soldiers' family members, politicians, and others whose stories are highlighted along the way as the tour winds its way across the country.
I've seen several documentaries about the Iraq War, and this is as good as any of them. Neil Young deserves critical praise and credit for making an excellent documentary film that can be appreciated by fans and non-fans alike.

Summary: Too much politics, too little music
Comment: I bought this DVD hoping to see a CSNY concert. What I got was a political lecture. Even though I totally agree with CSNY's politics, I found the movie to be boring. Needs more music. 'Nuff said.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Revealing documentary...
Comment: Not so much a live concert document as a look at the country during the last few years, this film demonstrates how divided the nation is and gives everyone a chance to either agree or disagree with the politics on hand here. And by the way, Atlanta, what did you expect from the guys who brought you 'Ohio'? I expected a little bit more progressive thinking from the state where 'Deliverance' was filmed.
