Plant and Bonham covering Stills pre-Zep:

also: guitar riff in Zep's "Friends" = guitar riff from CNS&Y "Carry On"

Thanks. Little bit of "For What It's Worth" at the end of this: Zep with Neil playing lead, "When The Levee Breaks."

I’m basically a blues singer and blues singers are supposed to suffer.

lol al

Would pay good money to see CSNY take on the Illinois Nazis.

Side 2 of led zep III is not that far away from the first CSN record. That was my entrance.

So the songs are copy and paste jobs...does it matter? Doesn't bother me but glad I know.

Also see link to Neil arcana at the bottom of this article:

Really like the long electric jams, which for a while were Down By The River but I think became something else later. I have one version of that by them that's 20 minutes long of 3 or 4 guitars blazing with a zen like repetitive rhythm instrument that keeps repeating. Think it may be a '69 Balboa Park set.

AQ lotof the '74 sets have been turning up on Dime recently. Haven't really taken in what the new '74 box set is, is that Wembley? Would explain why there wouldn't be overlap with US and Canadian shows being upped if so

Love the clip of them doing Down By The River from the Festival at Big Sur film. Don't really like the Stills scene elsewhere in that film, guess that would be 'telling it like it is' at the time or something.

Still not familiar with the 4 Way street set, saw that it used to not get much critical recognition but was taht because of the band or it not being a good live lp by them, since I do love them, at least the electric sets by them, elsewhere.

Scored this yesterday for $1.50! I was flipping through pages randomly and it looks like the captions to the photos are all descriptions of what drugs he was on at the time.

Never forget

Lots more to it than the captions though:

Speaking of oral history, don't miss the Cros's autobio, which sometimes looks like the Synoptic Gospels, with ancient heads giving various accounts of the same incident, on the same page (of the book, that is).

It's insidiously entertaining. Had me considering the actual purchase of old Cros albums I'd heard and knew were shit (but did I really know? If I could only remember my brane)

lol at Shakey itt. David Crosby is a musician's musician, if you actually give a shit about harmony your respect for him has to be at the level of respect you give Brian Wilson. I personally don't dig the Beach Boys, that's just me, but you'll never find me talking shit about B.W.'s actual musicianship, because I'm not a total moron. Any take other than "David Crosby is an outstanding musician" is straight ignorance

I did not disparage his musicianship fyi

For Cosby, musicianship plus voice. Guy has great pipes.

David Crosby burned brightly but briefly.

Any take other than "David Crosby is an outstanding musician" is straight ignorance

this is suspiciously close to:

He's my least favorite voice in the Byrds. (I have a harder time picking him out of CSNY)

Not that hard to pick him out

Guinnevere
Almost Cut My Hair
Deja Vu

I'm assuming he can't pick DC out because he can't stand to listen to CSNY for long enough.

crosby's great. it's too bad he didn't make at least four or five more records like if i could only remember in the 70s.

I meant I have a harder time picking his voice out from their harmonies

I know which horrible songs he wrote

Aww sadface!

Crosby's new album "Croz" is dope. Better than anything I expected out of dude at this date.

lol at this from first response:

I follow Strunk and White..."in the names of business firms the last comma is usually omitted."

the new david crosby album is kinda ok!!!

Never forget Stills' cover:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NinBbafMn3c

hahaha was that tracked at a japanese karaoke bar?

See how many songs you can finish from that album.

lol that is pretty unfortunate. love the cover art tho.
this is a little better

though it is funny -- "the loner" is one of neil's riffiest riffs, but stills is like "here let me totally rewrite that riff for you."

^^Stills very much in character.

Live box in hand...188 pg. booklet wtf?

Only two songs in but not the vocals sound pretty ragged

Didn't notice until now that Stills and Crosby trade lines on Wooden Ships

Oh uh speaking of Stills, here he is, live with the Memphis Horns, L.A. '71:
http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=1888
27 tracks, including those titled labeled "tuning/talk", but they're all set up to be downloaded individually.

damn, Stills sounds fucking wasted when he opens his mouth on "black queen" from the new live box

he's thinking about his black queen

In the live box afterglow, Nash has been talking about maybe doing an expanded reissue of Deju Vu. Anybody heard boots from those sessions?

David Crosby, he tweets...http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/david-crosby-neil-young-is-very-angry-with-me-20141011

[Croz tweeted some more shade, "I know at least 20 better guitar players than Neil. 3 in Snarky Puppy alone ..Hendrix , Stevie ray, get a grip." Stephen Stills and Graham Nash have yet to respond to Young's CSNY comments

Looks like Neil is leaving the door open for a Stills-Young Band reunion.

B-b-but how does he feel about Richie Furay?

Ready for the next CHVP tour!
