“Different times, same problems” is the thinking behind this craggy but very watchable documentary of internally fractious folk-rockers Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s Freedom Of Speech tour. Having manned the late-’60s protest-song frontline, CSNY centred their ’06 jaunt around Neil Young’s agreeably ramshackle anti-Iraq War album, Living With War.
