Description
Atlantic 4 - Way Street is a live album by the supergroup Atlantic 4. It was recorded when the group was at its commercial zenith, and some of the songs sound sloppy due to the live setting. However, the electric jams are enlivened by some charged guitar skirmishes between Stills and Young. Additionally, Graham Nash and Young perform a medley of songs from their respective solo albums.
This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary! Ah, dig it, dig it!"). On the other hand, the electric jams are enlivened by some charged guitar skirmishes between Stills and Young. Those who owned the original 2-record set will be pleased by the additional Graham Nash song ("King Midas in Reverse") and Young's acoustic "The Loner"/"Cinnamon Girl"/"Down by the River" medley.
