CSN is an official 4CD box set by David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, commonly known as the trio Crosby, Stills & Nash. Released in 1991, it focuses on CSN as a group and sometimes Y (Neil Young) plus some of their solo material, Stills' Manassas project and the Crosby/Nash collaborations. This was released by Atlantic.

The occasional supergroup and individual genius collective Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - also known, as and when, as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crosby and Nash, Crosby and Stills, Crosby, Nash & Young, Stills & Young (and almost certainly every other combination possible), Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young remain the ultimate Rubik’s cube of a group rarely performing or recording with the same collaborators twice in the same period. This new compilation illustrates this tendency superbly, as it features rare tracks, demos and live obscurities by all manner of combinations of the generic band, recorded during the first four years of their collaborative existence. The tracks hereon are from the following sessions and shows, all at once here making for a sublime and delightful rarities collection, which does not duplicate a single cut from the CSNY compilation on Rhino, DEMOS.

Long-rumored and highly anticipated, "CSNY 1974" captures the band’s one-of-a-kind harmonic alchemy during its remarkable outdoor stadium tour, a trek that spanned more than two months and included 31 concerts, in 24 cities, with combined audiences of over a million people. Produced by Graham Nash and Joel Bernstein, this 40th anniversary Blu-Ray features 40 live tracks!

SINGLE DISC VERSION OF CSNYs COMPLETE SET AT THE FAMOUS FESTIVAL Most fans would agree that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were at their very best right at the beginning of their career, in late 1969. This was just after Neil Young had joined the existing trio, and at that point, as is somewhat obvious, they were thrilled to be playing with each other. CSNY only played one prior gig to their Woodstock show, in Chicago two nights earlier, while CSN never played in public before Young joined, so this appearance was about as brand news as it gets. Truth be known, it wasn t long before drugs and ego got in the way. Even by 1970 the situation had changed dramatically and they were torn apart for the first time (though definitely not the last!). Most of us are already aware that the group played separate acoustic and electric sets at Woodstock, with Neil Young joining the collective in the middle of the acoustic set. They performed from 3:00 AM on Monday 18th August 1969, and following them on stage were; The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Sha Na Na and Jimi Hendrix and that was it, the most legendary rock festival ever was over by 11 A.M. that misty Monday morning. Previously only released in bits and pieces, with odd tracks here and there, or on a now very much sold-out 40 CD Boxed Set, this superb performance is finally available here on a single CD, in its entirety, for the first time.
