Déjà Vu Live is a live album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and their sixth in the quartet configuration, released by Reprise Records in 2008. It peaked at #153 on the Billboard 200, recorded on their 2006 Freedom of Speech tour. The album was released on vinyl in early 2009 and was pressed on 200-gram vinyl in Japan.
Content
In 2006, Neil Young released his album critical of the Bush administration, Living with War. Preparing to go on tour in support of the album, he invited his partners Crosby, Stills & Nash to put aside their own plans and join him. The resulting CSNY tour yielded both a film and this album, which serves as its soundtrack. All of Young's songs derive from the Living with War album, including three versions of the title track, while no Crosby, Stills, or Nash song dates later than 1971.
The tour was characterized by a full range of reactions from audiences, particularly to the song "Let's Impeach the President". In particular, concerts in Atlanta and Orange County saw concertgoers walk out or give the finger to the performers. Young recalls the atmosphere in a June 2008 Billboard interview:
"I remember some faces. There's one guy I remember for sure, and he's not in the movie. This was a harrowing experience at times, and it's not an experience that I would like to repeat. I think it was a one-off. I think if I did this kind of thing for the rest of my life, I'd become like CNN and I don't really respect that very much. It's like the same thing on a loop. I don't see the need for that. I like to be a full-length program, not a repeating segment."[4]
