Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Southern Cross Live at Oakland Coliseum Arena

Venue: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Location: Oakland, California, United States Date: December 4, 1988

On December 4, 1988, Neil Young performed at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum as part of the iconic group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Before this live recording, Young released the album 'Life' in 1987, which featured a mix of rock and folk elements reflecting his evolving sound. It's interesting to note that the 'American Dream' album, released shortly after in 1988, showcased Young's views on contemporary issues, making this an exciting period in his career. The Oakland concert highlighted the group's harmonic brilliance but also marked a time when Young was exploring themes of love and loss. Fans often regard these live performances as deeply emotional, as they meld personal reflection with larger societal concerns, which is a hallmark of Young's artistry.
