Neil has said no matter how crazy Stills is, Stephen is one of his 3 absolute best buddies of all time. And if you look at Neil and Stills and how they interact, yo can see how their connection is different from that of Crosby and Nash, or Nash and Stills, or Young and Crosby, etc. It runs super deep.
pioneers and icons of music not just rock, I'm so lucky to have lived in that time, maybe I'm missing something but I feel bad for today's young people I don't think there is any new talent that can come close to guys like this, maybe I'm just getting old
Two geniouses, four geniouses, togehter, not together. Just geniouses. We´ve got to give thanks for the existance of musicians like these. Who the hell does this music today? I also saw fantastic Neil Young about three times, one of them just him and his harmonica. Always in the country I live in, Spain. Incredible.
To continue, Stills may well have done his best work as a very young man, but that doesn't mean he can't still do it on stage. For instance, I don't think most people knew that he produced some very fine albums for others when he was barely in his 20s; like the one for long time love Judy Collins featuring Ian Tyson's classic "Someday Soon" on which Stills also played bass. He's a very fine bassist in his own right as demonstrated on CSN's first album.
Two of the Greatest songwriter's of the ages . For what its worth...Alabama...Ohio the definition of revolutionary songs that made us think..we need artist's like that now. Where are they?
Theres really not a big demand for it. People now are willing to settle for shit and liking it. The current pop is kanye west-a fkn idiot who is called a genius nc he can rhyme uh and duh
Inspired by The Buffalo Springfield Equipment Co. Of Springfield Ohio. The nameplate of a steamroller had been stolen by one of the band members near their apartment on Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles. It was used as a wall decoration before being photographed as an album cover.
Enjoyed this little three parter but I'm ready for a whole lot more from Stills & Young and the rest of the band. What a well rounded group they were and I was fortunate to be able to see them once in 1967. It'd be great to see a round table interview with the group. Plus, I'd like to get a fix on Bruce Palmer. What was his story?
@bluestreakbuck ...We are getting older, but in my case my genetics or something has made my 14yr old dtr a lover of great music of the 60s thru today...she just grew up around my LPs and stared at them since toddler days...she likes all of the really good music made by true musicians and producers who could put a sound down on vinyl without taking all of the realness out of the product...I saw Crosby and Nash on "The VIew" with 2 acoustics and they are still good, Neil is a GOD Stills is Stills
The one guy who was a bit of an enigma was Richie Furay but only because he was received another calling (preaching the Gospel, and doing it well by all accounts) that didnt really mesh with the world of rock and roll. A fine singer, and a very good rhythm guitarist, but he loved the Lord more than he loved the life on the road and all the rest. I cant fault him for that, but one wonders sometimes what weve missed because he chose to follow his heart in another direction.
Thanks, Babyhowdy. I hadn't heard. Word doesn't really get around the way it should. If it hadn't been for a fellow rock fan named Dustin who used to post on my board, I may still not even know about Bruce.
Heh, heh. Nothin's changed. Steven yap,yap,yap. Neil just agree-in. Neil once said in an innerview I read, that between Steven and Graham, he and David never needed to say shit, hell, they never COULD! Ha!
They really were are/were great talents. I don't think Palmer got the credit he deserved as a bassist. Listen to "Questions" some time and the runs he makes, yet never loses the bottom of the groove. I also didn't realize until just this evening watching an old Nashville Tonight interview of Young that Dewey Martin had worked with a lot of country acts like Faron Young in his career. If Nashville hires you, you have some chops.
There's new music out there. Just no big companies promoting it since no one really buys music anymore. Support your local bands in local venues. That's where the good stuff is !
These guys took guitars and retuned them into some bizarre tunings. Neils songs often change key several times and it's complex stuff. My head hurts working their songs out. They sure don't look like two mathematicians but musically they found a whole new cosmos and then they influenced...
"Nowadays Clancy..." - from the first BS album, written by Neil, sung by Richie Furay. Written about himself, it seems - "who should be sleeping, but's writing this song..."
The difference between Neil and Stephen is that Stephen was always more comfortable with what he did; folk/country/rock with some blues and Latin thrown in, while Neil loves to experiment (remember Trans). Hes reinvented himself time and again, and sometimes its paid off commercially and critically, and sometimes it hasnt, but he always did it for him, and not the masses or his record companies. He was even sued by his record company because he opted to play country music for two years.
@Fitzaqua Thats were youre wrong, yes its true many new artist dont but their soul in their music but there are some great artist out there who are doing great things now a days and am not talking about some old rockers who are still trying to sell records
@bluestreakbuck I feel the same way I was born in the eighties and music now just has sno soul or substance I can't get behind music from now and say "Yeah I get it man." it just sucks
it's you're turn brother, get out there with passion and make some musical history to be be proud of, forget the investors, us old people will back you if you follow your heart
I didn't understand the "For What It's Worth" story, they were excited after they recorded it, then their bubble burst when they went on the strip and hung out with the kids, why?
Stephen starts telling the backstory of "For What It's Worth": the Sunset Strip curfew riots, which interrupted their fame. What a bummer! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Strip_curfew_riots
This interview is about Buffalo Springfield, not CSNY. I don't think you read the full conversation. I replied to someone who mentioned ex-Buffalo Springfield drummer Dewey Martin in the present tense. I then said he is no longer with us. He died this year on February 1.
Stills also wrote a lot of songs that people don't even realize are him. One of the most famous was "Everybody's Talkin'" which Harry Nilson sang as the theme song for the film "Midnight Cowboy," starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, which won all kinds of Academy Awards back in the day. Hell, the royalties on that alone could keep Stephen in fine Colombian for a lifetime.
Do a search for "Ed Sheeran Passenger" and see their No Diggity mash up live song video on RUclips. Elton John said the redhead's got it! A new talent discovered by Jamie Foxx. He's good. Neil Young would agree, I bet.
Still simply put on some weight he loses the weight he still looks better than the other young and terms of he didn't do the amount of drugs that Neil has done actually Stephen Stills is taking better care of himself than any of them except for maybe Graham Nash. I will agree with the comment that was made it's not about the looks it's about the music.
I’d recognize Stephen Stills immediately! I’d recognize all the musicians from those days! They are permanently etched in my brain. The only one who shocked me was Mike Nesmith. Saw him interviewed and did not at all resemble his earlier look.
One of the things I like so much about Stills is his broad vocabulary--which has continually inspired me to enhance mine. And I've always liked how Neil plays with irony.
@gaurinn29 im not saying all musicians from this time are shit but the vast majority now are just terrible and their music is horrid but it kind of reflects the whole system nothing to piss off people wil lmake for shitty movies and possibly shitty movies and all the apathy and lack of a lot of originality really has hindered the music nowadays from passing up the music of old and really making its own dent in society
Who cares how they sit? Really... you have nothing better to focus on? Stills always plays with his shoe. Always. He's super high wired (even before the cocaine). He fidgets; I don't care. He has a son with Aspergers, so who knows. Neil usually wears ridiculous hats. OK, fine. Whatever. I'm interested in their stories about their music.
Driving with long hair was a thing. Sorry. You could get picked up, dragged off, beaten up all by the cops, then released into GP without bail. Happened to more than one guy I knew. Don't be so sure you know.
this soundslike it could be SS ! But anyways, even if it aint/is, if the hippie movemen achieved so muc, why so few dudes with long hair these days ?? I got long...
there iS absolutely no way i couldhave assimilated the old steven to the new......absolutely could never have guesed it if i hadnt known initially. Neil, on the other hand, is easily recognisable. You are pretending, sir...
Love the sarcastic way Neil goes: "It kind of popped our bubble, didn't it?" He really means Stephen's bubble. Neil knew how shallow it is to think of your own fame in the midst of a civil rights riot.
@@primtones well yeah that too. I remember I was there. It was stupid how we were treated but we still had to be careful. Cops would set people up if they didnt like ya. I know a few people who were and did serious time on false charges
Thank you so much for telling us what Neil MEANS when he uses ONE word (OUR), but you choose to make it refer to a singular to make a point about someone (THE FREAKING WRITER OF THE SONG) you don't like. Just wow.
They weren't on drugs during this LOL! I guess I should've smoked something to feel like I got something constructive out of this interview. But then, I always thought this group (both csny and bspringfield) sucked.
Neil has said no matter how crazy Stills is, Stephen is one of his 3 absolute best buddies of all time. And if you look at Neil and Stills and how they interact, yo can see how their connection is different from that of Crosby and Nash, or Nash and Stills, or Young and Crosby, etc. It runs super deep.
Exactly, they were like brothers. They had a bond the other 2 could never understand.
Great to see and hear those two campaigners remember their glory past.
Love them!

I didn't know Richie Furay was a preacher guess we all were searching back then, I'm glad Richie found it, thanks very much for the info

Absolute class. Musical heroes without a doubt. In my opinion anyway!!
Stephen is crazy as batshit, but he and Neil have a bond that Crosby and Nash could never quite understand.

stanbennet ,you sound like me slamming oasis!bufalow springfield wrote beautiful music that rarely is equalled to this day !
Mr. Young has always had the sweetest smile.
I agree, I was LAPD, and they still don’t have a clue. There’s no reform, although they say that they did?

WTF are u talking about? He may be a christian w his own church but he still does rock music
Excellent post
Yeah you're right. I confused it with "expecting to fly"...
too much weed I guess!
Thanks, Babyhowdy. I hadn't heard. Word doesn't really get around the way it should. If it hadn't been for a fellow rock fan named Dustin who used to post on my board, I may still not even know about Bruce.
Stills used a lot of open tunings check out carry on or love the one you're with. Influenced Joni Mitchell as well who also used about 50+ tunings.
Joni was doing that before she ever listened to Stills.
Heh, heh. Nothin's changed. Steven yap,yap,yap. Neil just agree-in. Neil once said in an innerview I read, that between Steven and Graham, he and David never needed to say shit, hell, they never COULD! Ha!

Yeah, it's there. Lots of great local stuff here in Fresno. Has been for decades.

No, Fred Neil wrote that song, sorry.
They went from "For What It's Worth" to "Ohio" - 'four dead in O-hio' (Kent State).
Stills is funny!
Nowadays Clancy can't even FLY... he sings fine!
"Still are."
Do a search for "Ed Sheeran Passenger" and see their No Diggity mash up live song video on RUclips. Elton John said the redhead's got it! A new talent discovered by Jamie Foxx. He's good. Neil Young would agree, I bet.
Youre talking the difference between pop (sheerin) and rock, poetry. Theres really no comparison
Could these be the "park bench mutations"?
where are you getting this information? there is no evidence of it on Google or Wikipedia anywhere!
I don't think You are missing anything... ;)
Stills looks nuthn like his former self. You cudnt tell it was the same dude. Neil, onthe other hand, holds up well.
John .Hervatich it's about the music. Not how people look
Still simply put on some weight he loses the weight he still looks better than the other young and terms of he didn't do the amount of drugs that Neil has done actually Stephen Stills is taking better care of himself than any of them except for maybe Graham Nash. I will agree with the comment that was made it's not about the looks it's about the music.

What are you talking about .Stephen Stills looks 👍
Not anymore, sadly. Apparently, he died of "natural causes." Although maybe it's too early yet to fully know what exactly led to his death.
I love the old school slang they use. Reminds me of the people of my parent's generation talking.
One of the things I like so much about Stills is his broad vocabulary--which has continually inspired me to enhance mine. And I've always liked how Neil plays with irony.

We livein a shallow world, or didnt you notice........
thats because you are a silly person and need to turn your volume up.
But he is totally undiscernable from his younger days. The others are.....
and why do they sit like that 🤨
Who cares how they sit? Really... you have nothing better to focus on? Stills always plays with his shoe. Always. He's super high wired (even before the cocaine). He fidgets; I don't care. He has a son with Aspergers, so who knows. Neil usually wears ridiculous hats. OK, fine. Whatever. I'm interested in their stories about their music.
'If you had long hair you knew what it was like to be black?' Do me a favour.
Driving with long hair was a thing. Sorry. You could get picked up, dragged off, beaten up all by the cops, then released into GP without bail. Happened to more than one guy I knew. Don't be so sure you know.
@bluestreakbuck naaa!
OK .......It Has To Do With Profiling
You Know ... Long Hair , Dark Skin, Hippy Or Lowrider Car ...etc
this soundslike it could be SS ! But anyways, even if it aint/is, if the hippie movemen achieved so muc, why so few dudes with long hair these days ?? I got long...
Long hair had very little to do if anything at all w being a hippie.
the artist and the fool
Steve is definitely the bigger talent.neil (small letters intentional) lives in a time warp.Too political and folks just ain't interested.Yawn.....
there iS absolutely no way i couldhave assimilated the old steven to the new......absolutely could never have guesed it if i hadnt known initially. Neil, on the other hand, is easily recognisable. You are pretending, sir...
Hi mr.neals youngs, &still, the former..grps, 🐃 🐃 🐃. Buffalos,.. spring fields,...then..n..theirs primes..were..both handsones 🎨 🎨 🎨. Artists,.. but now...😳 😳 😳. What's happened..do..somethings about yours..hairs..trims..and combs..&brushes too..
Stills on coke hahah
Love the sarcastic way Neil goes: "It kind of popped our bubble, didn't it?" He really means Stephen's bubble. Neil knew how shallow it is to think of your own fame in the midst of a civil rights riot.
Stills wrote the song, For What Its Worth about a bar being shut down in LA/Hollywood. Patrons were really pissed about it
@@lastnamefirst4035 It was more than just a bar being shut down, it was the establishment trying to control the younger generation.
@@primtones well yeah that too. I remember I was there. It was stupid how we were treated but we still had to be careful. Cops would set people up if they didnt like ya. I know a few people who were and did serious time on false charges
Thank you so much for telling us what Neil MEANS when he uses ONE word (OUR), but you choose to make it refer to a singular to make a point about someone (THE FREAKING WRITER OF THE SONG) you don't like. Just wow.

So why did you watch and then comment? Bloody waste of YOUR time, I'd think.
@Fitzaqua Too much RAP, too much CRAP, too much sampling ad copying...not enough genuine creativity.
They both look old, you can tell it's them though.
