Ahmet Ertegun Tribute with CSNY

From Rolling Stone report on the tribute to Ahmet Ertegun on Tuesday April 17 at the Rose Theatre in New York City, New York:
"Towards the end of Tuesday night’s star-packed tribute to late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, Neil Young spoke for his fellow artists: “Ahmet was our man,” he said, after singing “Helplessly Hoping” with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. “I just hope that today’s musicians have someone like Ahmet, because we were really lucky.” Crosby and Nash then stepped offstage, leaving Stills and Young to perform an emotional version of “Mr. Soul” — a song by their first band together, Buffalo Springfield, whom Ertegun signed to Atlantic subsidiary Atco Records. (With Young strumming hard on a downtuned acoustic guitar and Stills playing biting electric leads, they stuck closer to the recording than this slowed-down Young/Stills version from Woodstock). At the song’s conclusion, Young looked upwards and said, “Thanks, Ahmet.”

Glad to see Young is still lookin alive, though it looks like the hopes of a tour this year are quickly fading away... Well, we've got Bridge School XXI to look forward to still I suppose, and it isn't completely too late for a mini tour of some sort. Here's to hoping.

I'm just hoping they release that live album and movie on the CSNY 2006 tour this year.
