Me, my sis and a cousin were at a C,S,N&Y concert at a somewhat rickety stadium in Northern NJ. Great show.

But practically every other person was carrying a radio! From transistors to 12" x 18" ones.

Why?....

Rumors Nixon might resign that night!

About 2/3rds of the way through between songs someone ran up to either Stills, or Crosby and whispered in their ear.

Then they announced, "Nixon Resigned!"
Joyous Pandemonium from us; the audience!!!

Idk if they had planned fireworks at the end of each show?
But they had them that night!!!
What a fantastic experience!
