Today in music history
In 1969, Neil Young joined Crosby, Stills and Nash for the first time at a concert at the Fillmore East in New York. Young had worked with Stephen Stills in Buffalo Springfield. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's second appearance was at the Woodstock Festival a month later. The quartet broke up in 1971 but reformed a number of times in later years.
