Notes: Crosby, Stills & Nash: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills. Originally released in 1983, ALLIES is a live album by Crosby, Stills and Nash that was largely recorded on the tour for 1982's DAYLIGHT AGAIN, though versions of David Crosby's "Shadow Captain" and Joni Mitchell's "He Played Real Good For Free" date from a 1977 concert. Rather than being a traditional live collection of hits, ALLIES consists mostly of relatively obscure songs, with only Nash's "Wasted on the Way" and Stills's Buffalo Springfield hit "For What It's Worth" being particularly well-known. The album opens with two studio recordings, an outtake from DAYLIGHT AGAIN called "Raise A Voice" and "War Games," a Stills-penned song written for but ultimately not used in the 1983 thriller of the same name.

One of the first "supergroups," Crosby Stills & Nash came to typify the direction of rock on the cusp of the 1970s. Their tight, three-part harmonies and acoustic/electric instrumentation typified the expanding folk-rock sound, and their introspection and self-possession were touchstones of the singer-songwriter movement. The group's self-titled debut immediately catapulted the group to greater success than any of the members' previous bands (Byrds, Hollies, Buffalo Springfield), and the follow-up, DEJA VU, which added Neil Young, was another hit. Internal squabbles split the band at their peak, but sporadic reunions over the following decades kept audiences hoping for a return to glory.
