Concert carries anti-war theme

By FRITZ MAYER

BETHEL, NY—Crosby Stills Nash and Young (CSNY) brought their “Freedom of Speech ’06” tour to Bethel Woods on Sunday night, and churned out a number of new Neil Young songs that are as politically charged as the classic anti-war tunes the band performed at the height of their popularity in the ’70s.

Neil Young’s new album, “Living with War,” provided songs for up to 25 percent of the material performed. The single “Let’s Impeach the President” has received a great deal of media attention. The sold-out audience greeted it enthusiastically, but according to the Washington Post, at other concerts the song has “sent some patrons heading toward the exits.”

Crowd dispersed across the county

BETHEL, NY—By the time they got to Woodstock, the authorities had blocked the entrances.

Thousands of would-be concert goers were turned away from the annual reunion party that has been held the past six years on land owned by Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson on Route 17B at Yasgur Road. After a state judge ruled on Thursday, August 10 that the reunion party could not move forward, Howard and Abramson cancelled the event.
