Crosby Stills & Nash will close their 80-date world tour next month with a gala performance of their debut album in its entirety at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
The date - October 22 - is the fifth and final date of a run of shows at the venue next month (October 16, 17, 19, 20). At the October 22 show, CSN will perform their 1969 debut album, Crosby, Stills & Nash, in full — with songs including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express" and "Guinnevere". This is the first time the band has ever performed an album in its entirety on stage.
The Beach Boys' Al Jardine has asked fans to sign a petition to champion the Beach Boys' full reunited line-up, over bandmate Mike Love's version of the band without the other three members.

Feist accepted the award from Jeremy Gara and Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire, who won the gong in 2011, after lying on the floor in shock and shying away from a conventional speech.
The new Uncut’s only been on sale since the end of last week, but there’s already been a fair amount of correspondence about our cover story on The Byrds. Most of it’s been about our Top 20 countdown of The Byrds’s greatest tracks. You were broadly in agreement with what was included, but many of you wondered aloud at certain omissions – “Chestnut Mare” was particularly missed by many, including me it must be said.
Neil Young has reportedly given up smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol to write his forthcoming memoir, Waging Heavy Peace.
Speaking to the New York Times, Young said, "I did it for 40 years. Now I want to see what it's like to not do it. It's just a different perspective."
Young, aged 66, said he has been sober for about a year.
The Beach Boys have said that they hope to record another new album to follow 'That's Why God Made the Radio', which was released earlier this year.
The current line-up of Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks were speaking towards the end of their 50th anniversary tour last night (September 18) at a special evening launching a Beach Boys exhibition at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
A weirdly deserted Uncut office today, so it falls on me to break off from my usual arduous routine - tooling around on Twitter, listening to Hiss Golden Messenger bootlegs, wondering what time the cricket starts – and write this week’s newsletter blog.
