Got my picture taken with all of them backstage before the show , my dad was the stage manager at the Winterland from 1972 to 1975. Saw all the greats, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, etc etc.
They look like they are having the best damn time. David's mischief grin is contagious, Graham trying to keep the two of them together, Steven goes off on a jam all his own...and they all laugh, letting this most beautiful song... just happen. Damn, so much joy up there.🌷
Even at his most stoned, Crosby could hear the harmonies come together and he'd signal to the audience to calm down a little and actually hear them. He did similar moves throughout their time together -- no need to whoop, just listen.
I attended this concert, standing right up front. I think from a lot of the comments that people don’t realize this wasn’t a CSN concert, it was a Stephen Stills/Manassas concert. Crosby and Nash showed up as surprise guests and did a whole set with Stills sitting in on acoustic guitar (he had been playing electric in the previous set). It was a hug thrill to get to hear the three of them in that intimate venue, as a surprise act. I doubt the three of them had done much if any rehearsals, whereas Crosby and Nash had been playing together often. So I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Stills as being an interloper or not playing at the same level. It was actually in some way a jam. But it apparently inspired them to tour together again that summer with Young, and I was able to attend their show at the Oakland Stadium as well.
Oh my goodness, who would ever think to criticize Stephen's guitar work. It was incredible, beautiful, feisty. Looked to me David was thrilled, holding back laughter... digging Stephen doing his thing...yes jamming.... letting this song just develop, happen in real time. I love this version. They all looked so very happy. 🕊️🌱
Just 3 Stoned friends having an amazing time! Whatever opinions people have about it being 'Busy' or not as good as the BBC version, it can't be denied that pure enjoyment is coming through this song.
Two years earlier, Crosby showed up at Stephen's show at Berkeley Community Theater and they played this song as a duo - something they had never done before. I snuck a recorder in and taped the whole show and this tune is way better than it is here. Yes, Stephen did his thing on lead guitar but it was way more tasteful and restrained. They also sang You Don't Have To Cry and nailed that too. I really miss seeing these guys during that period because you never knew who was going to show up on any one of their solo or duo shows. Can't believe I missed this one, but I saw a bunch of other ones. Gotta go dig that tape up!
+brian lucas I don't disagree. It was the first version I ever heard, and I still love it. However, I am more impressed by the 7-minute electric version. And that such a great song couldn't get onto a studio album! But at least they are both out there now for us to enjoy! Thanks for your comment.
an amazing piece of music pie graham seems to be in a dither but dithers aren't new with these 3 about 3:00 stephen starts a lead and it's not as if he hasn't been slamming it already but he finishes up the lead looks at david for applause and gets nothing then he grins accepts that in that moment david is being david and we are we and we are really really really f'n good at this you and me and him and neil (sometimes)
@@maureenhorrigan7151 Depending on how stoned he was. I knew a guy who road-managed for Stills. Steven used to put his entire face into a baggie of cocaine and inhale.
HELP!!! HEEEELP!!!! IM SEARCHING A RARE VERSION, I HAVE YEARS AGO, RECORDED IN A TAPE. IN THAT LIVE VERSION YOU CAN HEAR , CONGAS O TIMBALS.THEY DON'T PLAY ALONE. PLEASE, PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!
I’m a fan of Stills, but he just happens to be one of those “busy” guitar players where less would’ve been more here. Nash’s accompaniment on vox and guitar on the BBC was far better. Would’ve simply preferred Stills harmonies adding to the song instead of his mariachis odyssey type playing lol.
I get what you are saying but this was a one off performance. Lee Shore is normally performed by just Crosby and Nash. Stills usually goes back stage and let's them get on with it. I'm a massive Stills fan over the other two but you're right and no need for Stills input on this particular song. I can't find any other footage of him playing on this song. Therefore no need to label him as 'busy'.
A lot of people bashing Stills here. This isn't a jam session , it's a concert. They rehearse these songs beforehand and decide how they will perform them and which person will do what. You'll notice the tempo is also a little faster than the BBC performance. Many performers do songs differently in live concerts. I agree that he is a little too loud though.
Stills trying to upstage David, for sure - you can see it in their faces. Most have already been strife between them. Ruined my very favorite songs. Stick to the BBC version with just Crosby and Nash. It's gokden.
I like stills but WTF is he doing here. His guitar playing is completely out of place and unneeded. I agree the version to hear is the Crosby Nash one from the BBC.
But I agree-sometimes live Stills' busy/messy guitar playing ruins songs (see some of the 1974 tour for example)-painting mustaches on Mona Lisas all over the place. However, he can be excellent...
Louis Collings He’s dispensable on this song, but not as a rule. I agree that he is overplaying here big-time though. Doesn’t match the mood of the song.. it’s too manic. The live BBC version with just Crosby and Nash is spectacular! Crosby has one of the most unusually beautiful voices and it would serve everybody better to just get out of the way and listen when he’s engaged in such. Nash wisely enhances but lets Dave lead. His voice is richer than the rest. Tenor, but not at all thin; with absolutely gorgeous vibrato! He’s really an underrated singer, in my opinion.
