I'd have to agree that Woodstock was not CSN's road to fame. "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" had been a hit, as had "Marrakesh Express". Crosby's "Long Time Gone", "Guinnevere", in fact pretty much the whole first album was getting extensive FM airplay and high sales numbers. "Woodstock" may have been the first release by CSN with Y . You could probably say it cemented their status as 'the American Beatles'. RR
