      Yeh RIP. His spirit I think was the perfect reflection of the 60s/boomer spirit. Just beautiful, free. I know he was difficult but he was himself. Insanely talented musician as well. I listen to his music every day in some form or another (usually via The Byrds).

    Hey all! Just wanted to add that making this video was somewhat of a revelation. The adjective that kept coming to mind about David Crosby was "survivor". I mean this guy survived band breakups, organ transplants and hard time in the federal hoowsegow and has lived to tell the tale. And oh yeah, he's a pretty ridiculous singer too!

    The very first concert I ever attended was The Byrds playing at Stony Brook University in Long Island, NY where I lived. I was newly into playing guitar, was infatuated by all things Byrds, and doing serious woodshedding learning their songs by repeatedly moving the needle back to licks I was learning by ear from their records. They were touring in support of the Fifth Dimension album and I was mesmerized by Eight Miles High and Mr. Spaceman at that show. The opener was The Youngbloods and they knocked me out. Anyway, it was the first time I saw a live band and was my introduction to David Crosby. RIP.

I don't remember an additional opening act however, I must tell you that I saw Alvin Lee( solo) at the Keystone Palo Alto in the early 80s. It was a thrill because I actually lightly touched his ES-335 while he soloed. I was a bit nervous that he might clobber me so I was happy enough to refrain after several taps on "big red" that in later years, went up for auction. I would greatly appreciate if ever, your stories about opening for TYA, that would be cool. I enjoy your vlogs, and please keep on hiking and story telling. Very Cool!

I’ve loved his music, found him distasteful at times but he always kept my curiosity. Maybe that’s how his band mates felt as well. In the end, you can’t tell the history of rock and roll without talking about David Crosby. His talent was undeniable. Thanks for the videos.

    'Eight Miles High'' is still under-appreciated; Roger McGuinn's 12-string sound, intending to imitate both a sitar and a saxophone, was unique, completely different from the blues-rock that would dominate the electric guitar for the next two decades.

    I watched your video with waves of emotion and longing for the 60's. Such a wonderfully groovy time to be alive and in LA. And of course, can't forget; "Where did my life go?" Much of the beginnings of what occurred in the 60's there started 58 years ago! Sure enjoyed driving around in the sunshine with you. As a Canadian, you guys in the States had a very real impact on the music that shaped our lives way back then. Thanks for the memories! / SS - way up here in rainy Vancouver BC.

    Because of David I bought my first " good guitar" as he calls it. A new Martin D-18 and it's in CROZ tuning right now. Davids signature tuning EBDGAD. And he is right, "a good guitar makes you want to play it all the time and that's how you get good!"

    • @RockessentialTim
      @RockessentialTim  Год назад +1

      I have a 58' D15 and it was probably their lowest priced guitar at the time but it sure sounds great now. I have never even heard of that tuning let alone tried it. No time like the present!

      @@RockessentialTim I tried very unsuccessfully for years to figure out how to play 'Guinnevere' like Croz. No way it works in standard tuning. Then I heard about EBDGAD and voila, now it's a staple of my repertoire (on a '73 D-28). Amuses me how many great guitar players I know who seem baffled that I can play it and sound like Croz.

    Great video!!! Did you know that Peter Tork gave that house to Stephen Stills? Peter was a true hippie back then, he was a nudist and would take in anyone who needed a place to live and when he decided to move on, he gave Stephen Stills the house. So much history from those days and everyone seemed to know everyone.

    • @RockessentialTim
      @RockessentialTim  Год назад +1

      Wow! I knew Stephen Stills eventually owned it but I didn't know Peter Tork had given it to him. So cool. A few years ago I was waiting in a hotel lobby and I actually saw Peter waiting there too, for about 15 minutes. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't approach him. Now I really wish I had.

    Tim Thanks for making these videos. As all of us "older" people who lived/partied during the 60's sadly pass away. The stories need to be told and with you tube they will live on long after we are gone. The CSN song that I like the best is Teach Your Children Well. The version I like is here on youtube. It's just them sitting on some chairs playing it acoustic.

    Loved the rock tour once again. Great to see the lovely Santa Barbara area. My niece is a freshman at UCSB. Years ago I wrote a series of essays about an artist associated with the Pop Art movement who was based in LA. During that series of interviews, he conveyed that he used to play poker with Stephen Stills and Dean Stockwell. He also mentioned the Topanga Club where the locals could get in on Mondays when the club was closed to see musicians like Janis Joplin. Can't recall if you covered the Topanga Club.

    • @RockessentialTim
      @RockessentialTim  Год назад +1

      Hey there and thanks. I covered a little about Dean Stockwell but never the Topanga Club (It was called the Corral). It comes up in the folklore of rock a lot but it is an empty lot now, it burnt to the ground several years ago.

You keep these great stories alive for the next generation. I can tell you for sure my 24 to 30 something year old kids know this music. They have seen these great artists over the years when I dragged them to Neil Youngs Bridge School Benefit for years on end.... They get it....! God I miss the Bridge School Benefits so much... I was at the last one with my wife not knowing it was the last one.... CSN would often show up... Along with so many others.... My next trip down south to LA will include what you have showed me in your many great videos. Well done once again Sir...!

    Hot damn, so glad to see this. I hiked around Enatai and Beaux Arts in Bellevue, Washington (east side of Lake Washington across from Seattle) this afternoon with my daughter and our dogs and was thinking it had been a while since one of your videos had popped up. Parts of Bellevue always make me think of Laurel Canyon (without the palm trees, of course.) And, as always, our rain is going to start in a few weeks for a few (okay, several) months and that feeling will be gone... I've truly enjoyed your videos the past couple years and I thank you a ton! PS: Laurel Canyon was a crucible for American music. The recent output of Croz has been amazing. Neil, too. It's hard (but fun) to keep up. I wish Steven would keep pace!

      Wow, you live in a beautiful part of the city! Funny but I've never seen any of the CSN&Y guys out and about except for Stills. I was at the park here a couple years ago and he was with a toddler. I didn't know if it was his son or grandson but I'm sure he caught me staring. I love his playing and in doing this vid I found out that he played all the instruments except for drums on all the tracks for that first CN&N album. Loved him in that movie "Echo's In The Canyon".
