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.
I would pay to produce this film.

i'd chip in some cash too ... That clip above is pretty much where they peaked I think! Pretty rad. I've heard some pretty intolerable bootlegs of CSNY though. Mainly Stills' fault I think.

that 'deja vu' record is kind of nice, but is distinctly lacking a unified personality. a little bit sugary at times, could perhaps do with some more grit and unharnessed soul-searching.

i only have the first two and enjoy both but rarely listen to either. i'm probably partial to deja-vu tho.
came across a really good copy of that first Manassass record the other day for cheap and have been pleasantly surprised. i never thought i'd have much use for stills outside of BS or CSN& sometimes Y

oh yes he's is a psychokiller. maybe blows a puff of cocaine from his cupped hand and whispers "deja vu, bitch" or something. haven't had much time to work on it tbh.

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!"

― Brad C., Saturday, 16 May 2009 14:30 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 1 January 2010 11:33 (fourteen years ago) link
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 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.

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgu33ndVwj1qdf09mo1_500.pngthis was supposed to be the cover of the second CSNY album "Human Highway" (which obv. never came out). pretty gnarly pic though.
― tylerw, Friday, 18 February 2011 22:30 (thirteen years ago) link
are there bootlegs of that album or did the songs just make it onto other records?
― jaxon, Friday, 18 February 2011 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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."
― tylerw, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
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."
― tylerw, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 15:27 (eleven years ago) link
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.
