Out today (May 6th) is Graham Nash's new concert collection — Graham Nash: Live. The set is culled from four 2019 concerts where he performed his first two solo albums — 1971's Songs For Beginners and its 1974 followup, Wild Tales, with a full band in their entirety.
We caught up with Nash and asked him if he had forgotten how powerful those songs were — especially when shared with an audience: “No, I haven't forgotten about it, but it definitely came back to me. Many of those songs are incredibly relevant today. And it was amazing to me that a song, like 'Immigration Man,' or 'Chicago' or 'We Can Change The. . . ' y'know, or 'Military Madness'. . . I mean, I changed the beginning of my show because of what's going on in Ukraine. There's stuff going on in the world that everybody is aware of, everybody wants to escape the news of. There's incredibly brilliant, wonderful things being done by humanity — at the same time as we're obliterating Mariupol in Ukraine. Destroyed the entire city.”
While talking with The Guardian, Nash spoke about how his marriage to actress/writer Amy Grantham — who's 40 years younger than him — has ostracized himself from his three children whom he shared with second wife Susan Sennett. Not long after their divorce after four decades together, Sennett fell ill and died of cancer.
