Live at Berkeley 1971 is a 2023 live album released by American singer-songwriter Stephen Stills  released on April 28, 2024, through Omnivore Recordings.[1]

It was recorded over two nights on August 20th and 21st Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley, California USA in 1971 during Stills' first ever solo tour in support of his album Stephen Stills 2.[2] The album featured an acoustic set followed by an electric set with the Memphis Horns.

Reception

[edit]

In a positive review Mojo gave the album 4 stars calling it "relentless, often overwrought, often brilliant, too". While stating the highlights include when David Crosby joins Stills for two songs "You Don’t Have To Cry" and "The Lee Shore", stating "their vocal blend is gorgeous even without the median tone of Nash".
