Graham Nash heeft de setlist van zijn soloconcerten gewijzigd vanwege de Russische inval in Oekraïne.
‘Find the Cost of Freedom van Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s ‘4 Way Street’ en zijn eigen ‘Minitary Madness’ figureren prominent tijdens ‘An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories’, maar ook zijn klassieke ‘Immigration Man’ en ‘In Your Name’ staan op de setlist.
Nash windt er in een toelichting geen doekjes om: ‘It makes me realize that humanity is either fucked or glorious, and there’s not a lot of in between. There’s incredibly brilliant, wonderful things being done by humanity at the same time we’re obliterating Mariupol in the Ukraine, destroying the entire fucking city. They did that with Crimea. … And I’ve got to agree with Biden; he’s raised world concern that this man Putin has to be taken out of power. This is fucking madness. This is 2022, for God’s sake.
So, yeah, we wrote these [songs] in an effort to stop what we were writing about … but who knew that 50 years later we’d be going through the same [things]. Does that mean in another 50 years we’ll still be going through the same [things]? Probably.’
