 Deja Vu Not Worth A View January 7, 2009
Having seen the reunited Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young in concert in 2006, I was anxious to see this DVD, thinking it would be a concert-type of film documenting the tour. Instead, it's 90 minutes or so of Neil Young's personal anti-George Bush agenda. This is a total propaganda film, and I believe the majority of people out there go to a concert to hear the music and not to attend a political rally, which is what most of CSNY's shows from this documentary regressed into. There is no doubt that CSNY is one of the greatest bands ever, fueled and led by the musical genius of Neil Young, but when a Canadian like Neil Young becomes over-obsessed with American politics, it greatly detracts from the music and diminishes the rest of the band as well, who I'm sure were coerced into placating Neil Young by kow-towing to his political ranting in order to secure him for a very lucrative tour. I threw this DVD in the trash after watching it. Buyers beware!

Besides remarkable song writers, csny know how to exploit the music to delate politicians crimes. And they have done this over the last five decades with geniality. In spite of being a bit excessive long playing, this video brings back to memory through notes the dark days that menaced the world and the man kind. The flash of old and new images make us traveling in time. The songs are terrific...

I would definitely recommend this title except, as others have also reported, I cannot play this disc on 2 of my 3 DVD players. I think the disc is unevenly weighted or out of round. It will not load up at all on my Sony player and on my Audiovox portable, it will play but it makes the whole player shake. I have returned and tried a total of 4 discs (all from different stores) and ALL have the same problem. I would love to recommend this DVD but until Lionsgate owns up and recalls the whole bunch, I cannot.
 Not hard to say, but this is Bernard Shakey's finest film December 22, 2008

Neil Young, in addition to being a legendary singer and songwriter, is also known as a slightly skewed filmmaker, directing under the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey". As a great fan of his, I've seen just about all of Neil's films and videos, and many are curiosities that would interest few beyond Neil's most devoted fans.
But CSNY/Deja Vu is a true FILM, a top quality documentary about, not only a concert tour, but about the war that inspired the songs they sing, and the relationship between today's war and the war of 40 years ago that first brought Crosby Stills Nash & Young to international stardom. In the end, the band plays a leading role, but not a dominant role in the film. It is more about the several soldiers, former soldiers, soldiers' family members, politicians, and others whose stories are highlighted along the way as the tour winds its way across the country.
I've seen several documentaries about the Iraq War, and this is as good as any of them. Neil Young deserves critical praise and credit for making an excellent documentary film that can be appreciated by fans and non-fans alike.
 Too much politics, too little music December 1, 2008
I bought this DVD hoping to see a CSNY concert. What I got was a political lecture. Even though I totally agree with CSNY's politics, I found the movie to be boring. Needs more music. 'Nuff said.
