I've never taken the plunge mostly cuz I hate Crosby so much - always the worst thing about the Byrds, and CSN is unlistenable

I hate CSN but I love this. It sounds wasted rather than smug.

Without the trippy arrangement "Traction in the Rain" would be a bit too close to singer-songwriter book store dreck poetry night open mic blue eyed easy funk. The production saves it for me, which is the case for most of this album. Though the rhythm track on song 02 is BANGIN'.

I kind of think of this as the Dead's best studio album.
Crazy. Workingman's Dead/American Beauty are both miles better than this.

Yeah that was a bit of hyperbole, I agree, but many things I like about this record are because of its Dead-ness, even on the tracks w/ out the Dead, similar headspace for me. And Jerry plays incredibly on this record.

"Many of David's songs have been created on board this spiritual platform"
those must be the songs from Oh Yes I Can and Thousands Roads. maybe he should ask for a lower price..

Hey, does anyone know if "What Are Their Names" was recorded live in studio or via overdubs? I ask because the very idea of Neil and Garcia and Lesh in the same room with guitars is pretty exciting. I don't have the 2xCD reissue of this (how are the liner notes, btw?), nor have I read Crosby's bio--is this info in either of these places?

I was gifted the 180 gram reissue from a couple years ago for my birthday and it is just wonderful.
The low end frequencies, in particular, are noticeably juicier and just dandy.

DON: The mere fact that after all he's been through, we still have David Crosby among us making music and singing as well as ever is cause for celebration. We'd been fans going back to the Byrds and then CSNY, listening to those great albums, absorbing the activism, and learning the meaning of "Harmony".
GLENN: Crosby's coining of the phrase "...why can't we go on as three?" made both Don and I's personal lives waaaaaaay more interesting.
DON: Well, yeah.

Photos of Crosby's boat! I wonder if there's a stash somewhere that he forgot about before selling it.
