Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young: C/D, S/D

Shit- this Crosby movie pitch is cracking me right the fuck up.

You could have the obligatory teen horror sex scene with "Triad" playing in the background, the girls refusing his advances before he murders them. "WHY CAN'T WE GO ON AS THREE!"

it's rich territory it's true

I can see the poster now:

HIS HARMONIES WILL ENTRANCE YOU.

HIS BULK WILL CRUSH YOU.

"What's Happening?!?!"

songs for beginners is so fucking catchy, love every song. i think the songs ppl have mentioned they love in this thread so far are simple man and i used to be a king. my fave is prob man in the mirror

military madness also owns

finally picked up 'songs for beginners' the other night for $1. it's incredible. sitting here listening to it and just zoning out.

I was really enjoying the CSN debut last night until the thought popped into my mind: "What's next, Bread?"

I'm enjoying Looking Forward this morning, esp. the NY and Crosby songs, but wow are Stills' songs duds here. "Hard rock" guitars or "Latin" beats + and Stills' bleating = wreck. But if you enjoy latter day NY, this is on the whole worth your time.

some sort of Graham Nash tribute album coming out in a few months featuring lots of current psych/freak/etc bands, with some really nice names involved.

search "Helplessly Hoping" off the CSN debut: that album has its ups & downs (I think I've internalized NY's relationship with Stills) but this song is a very high up.

i would like to see a short film where david crosby creeps up on people singing in the shower and adds harmonies from the other side of the curtain and that's how they know their time is up.
has this movie been made yet or what

been really into the 4-Way Street double-live album lately (which the above clip might be from or at least the same Deja Vu tour). so great

Unfortunately that movie hasn't been made yet but I think this is the video that inspired the idea:

I really like Stephen Stills lead playing on Wooden Ships. It has this really warm neck pickup sound with a bunch of tone rolled off, kind of a rock and roll jazz box sound which really fits in nice in the tune.

I listened to the "CSN" album the other day and actually find it rather fine. It may not be as essential as the first couple of albums, but it's still a nice late 70s softrock effort.

this was supposed to be the cover of the second CSNY album "Human Highway" (which obv. never came out). pretty gnarly pic though.

are there bootlegs of that album or did the songs just make it onto other records?

there's a csny version of human highway on bootlegs, other than that, I don't think they actually recorded all that much. "through my sails" from zuma might be from those sessions? i think i remember reading that only neil had actually written songs.

Sounds like "LA Pt.2".

Listening to any CSNY is a constant reminder of the vast gulf between talent and genius.

The late 70s s/t knocks all other CSN albums on their ass. (solo and otherwise). Great songwriting, outstanding backing band, and top production. Cathedral, man, what a thing; gorgeous ending.

CSNY & J

ha the looks crosby gives to tom

wish they'd replaced Stills w/ TJ

croz on the stil forthcoming CSNY 1974 live thing, via the twitter:
"It's going to be ....may well be the best Iive record ,certainly of us ..maybe you ever heard"

"It was a tour that reached a level of perfection the world had never before experienced--you know, just before Neil got bored and quit."

i like how he qualifies it with: "certainly of us" ... so, it's better than 4-Way Street, you say?

ha that tweet is great.

"It's going to be *takes bongrip* the best *cough cough* i mean, certainly of us... "

*long stoned silence*

"Maybe you've heard?"

a preview of what to expect...

"It was a tour that reached a level of perfection the world had never before experienced--you know, just before Neil got bored and quit we split due to our sideburns newfangled 'artistic differences'."

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/crosby-stills-nash-young-to-release-long-awaited-1974-live-album-in-august-20130416

lol at this:
The 1974 tour wrapped at London's Wembley Stadium on September 14th. They filmed that night and at least one other, but don't expect to see any video footage in this package. "I don't think Neil's gonna go for that," says Crosby. "He doesn't like the way he looked. He doesn't like his haircut on that tour."

also kinda lol but also sad
"I'd love to be Neil's friend," says Nash. "We're great friends on some level and great acquaintances and musical partners on some level, but I can't call Neil my friend. I had never had his cell phone number. That's a small detail, but very deep."

Someone should tell Nash that Neil Young does not have a cell phone. He's been sitting by his rotary dial waiting for Nash to call.

Actually, I get the impression Neil Young spends pretty much all his time less than 50 feet from the few people he'd ever want to call him on his cell phone. If he had one.

(If Neil Young had a cell phone, surely we'd have gotten a smart phone concept album by now.)

neil has a cell phone, but it only accepts calls in PONO fidelity. PHONO.

The only way to get Archives II is to sign a three year service plan for Phono from Crazy Horse Mobile.

how many years has Nash complained about Young not hanging out with him?

pretty much since neil joined the band.

He doesn't like his haircut on that tour.

megalol never change Neil

One issue they faced was Neil Young's intense focus on audio quality. "Neil Young, God bless his cotton socks, has always wanted the audio to get as close to the recording experience as possible," says Nash. "He wanted us to do it in 24/192, and that's what we did. Of course, that happened one-third of the way into the project, so we had to redo an awful lot of stuff. But it sounds totally amazing. There's 40 songs and they'll show people that we were a very, very decent rock band."

I can see from that picture why Neil wasnt happy with his haircut.

missing unreleased neil song is "homefires"...

lol misread as "homefries"

homefries are all right with me
