Live It Up 2: Beds Are Burning

Just to continue the Australian theme.
An unusual thing for the 1980s, this.
A protest song. About Aboriginal rights.

Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young: Ohio

“What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?”
Previously I featured only C S and N. This is the full monty CSNY with their Neil Young composed protest song about the Kent State University shootings, Ohio.
The cover shown on the original clip (now vanished into the ether) was of Deja Vu, but Ohio didn’t appear on that; only coming out on a studio album with the compilation So Far (on which a notable absentee was CSN’s first hit in the UK, “Marrakesh Express” – a track which for which I can only find fairly dodgy live versions on You Tube.)
