I had no idea Stills played on Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine". This is possibly the only piece of music he plays on that I enjoy.

Well, he also played on Joni's Blue and FTR, and on a few Isley Bros recordings (they also covered "Love the One You're With").

Stephen Still erasing Jimi Hendrix's last recorded guitar solo to do bongo overdubs
waitwaitwait...this actually happened? How was Stills not legally barred from making sounds after that?

Stephen Stills: As bad as things got, I don't even think it was the craziest tour I ever did. I had some overly lubricated solo tours later on, and then Manassas… For a few years of my solo career the bourbon king showed up and it was just messy. I don't run from it. I own it. It left my voice shot. It's cool now because I've gotten it back. I'm hitting the high notes again. The present for me is fine.

Tarfumes - yeah the story goes that Jimi and Stills were hanging out and Jimi stopped by the studio and cut a solo for "Love The One You're With" and after he left the studio Stills decided he needed more percussion overdubs so he erased Herndrix's solo, then he died shortly after
― Wu-Tang Clannad (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link
Well that's just about the greatest thing I've ever heard.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
Not that Jimi dies obviously, but erasing his solo for more bongos. That ranks up there with firing Mick Jones from The Clash for idiotic rock decisions.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:34 (nine years ago) link
Did Hendrix play on that track too? I thought it was just "Old Times, Good Times" (real good; ditto "Think I'll Go Back Home," with Clapton solos).
― dow, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:38 (nine years ago) link
xppost, dunno when he bragged about getting his voice back, but he sounds pretty ragged on the Springfield reunion tapes I have, and apparently he was the one who called a halt to the tour, citing medical advice.
― dow, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:41 (nine years ago) link
iirc, Stills thought Hendrix' "Star-Spangled Banner" would've been better if Jimi had played the whole thing on bongos.

On Austin360.com, Joe Gross follows up:
Neil Young — noted musician, director and Canadian — is doing a Q&A following tomorrow’s 5 p.m. screening of his 1982 movie “Human Highway (Director’s Cut)” at the Paramount. He will be joined by actress Charlotte Stewart.
The screening is open to Film Badge, Gold Badge, Platinum Badge and Film Festival Wristband. If any seats remain, single-admission tickets will be sold for $10 cash starting 15 minutes before showtime.
“Human Highway” is Young’s little-known and even littler-seen sci-fi comedy starring Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, Russ Tamblyn and Devo.
So, yeah, you know what to do.

what was Neil's excuse for that recent fashion ad(?) thing he ddi

Fashion ad? Like a tv ad, or a print ad?
He's pretty much the last "classic rock" holdout in terms of licensing songs for use in ads.

didn't he have to sell off some of his ranch land a few years ago because he needed the dough?
all the money he continually sinks into boondoggles like Lionel, LincVolt, PONO, etc have to hurt after awhile even for a guy who made a lot of money
but that said it's like he was never outside of Harvest like a mega album act like the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac either
