Here's a film in the same vein as Lou Reed's Berlin and Shine A Light, that follows a group of aging (or aged? When does that officially change?) rockers on a reunion tour. This time, it's Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, in CSNY Déjà Vu, a film directed by Neil Young himself. Judging by the trailer and descriptions of the film, this has the potential to be as much an anti-war statement as it is a film about the band (although, let's be honest, could it be one without the other?)
Sure, to many people of movie-going age these days, this band is best known as the former band of the father of Melissa Etheridge and her partner's child (if they even know who CSNY is at all). But they're a legendary band that warrants the reunion tour and the documentary. (Side note: I saw Crosby, Stills & Nash -- when Young was on his own and they were still touring - about 15 years ago at the Oregon State Fair. It was a free concert and the crowd wasn't huge. That was heartbreaking. I'm guessing with Young back in the fold, filling the stadiums wasn't a problem on the"Freedom of Speech" tour chronicled in this movie.)
