they began the 70s is the top band in
2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:05,220
the US and then abruptly broke apart for
3
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:07,529
30 years they lived hi and loan from
4
00:00:07,529 --> 00:00:10,110
adoring stadiums to jail cells for
5
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:11,700
wealth and luxury to near-death
6
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:14,910
experiences but when times were dark the
7
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:16,199
friendship between these four
8
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:19,199
complicated men shone brightest until
9
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:20,640
they surprised the whole world by
10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,760
reuniting to tour in the year 2000 three
11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,400
decades after they walked away David
12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,949
Crosby Stephen Stills Graham Nash and
13
00:00:28,949 --> 00:00:31,980
Neil Young are legends this is their
14
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,219
story
15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,529
[Applause]
16
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:53,840
the first time I saw Neal and was going
17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,730
across Canada on this tour with this
18
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:58,160
little folk group and he was doing
19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
exactly what I wanted to do when I got
20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,690
back was to get a great rhythm section
21
00:01:02,690 --> 00:01:06,790
and play folk song on an electric guitar
22
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:11,150
we drove down to Los Angeles in 53
23
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:14,450
Pontiac hers and we're in traffic and I
24
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:17,570
guess still sauce so he ran up to us and
25
00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:21,560
got us and pulled over Neil Young teamed
26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,229
up with Stephen Stills in 1966 to form
27
00:01:24,229 --> 00:01:25,940
one of the greatest California rock
28
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:30,320
bands Buffalo Springfield something
29
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:35,440
happen and you what it is ain't exactly
30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,200
play the Springfield found immediate
31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,570
success but conflicts between the two
32
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:43,700
stars Stills and young combined with
33
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,470
Young's desire for a solo cutter to
34
00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:47,110
cause tension from the start
35
00:01:47,110 --> 00:01:49,550
still said later that he wanted to be in
36
00:01:49,550 --> 00:01:51,409
the Beatles and Neil wanted to be Bob
37
00:01:51,409 --> 00:01:52,310
Dylan
38
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:55,549
[Music]
39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,700
the relationship was a bunch of 19 and
40
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,730
20 year old guys just getting something
41
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:06,310
together for the first time in the
42
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:10,949
spotlight you know interviews and and
43
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:13,510
you know attention that they never had
44
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:15,640
before we lost the ability to stay in
45
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,830
the moment you know which is what you
46
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:20,170
have to do to performs young walked out
47
00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:22,270
on the group just before the 1967
48
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:24,430
Monterey Pop Festival Stephen has David
49
00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:26,650
Crosby of the Byrds to Philly
50
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:30,430
Neil had split and Steven knew each
51
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:32,800
other and liked each other and he said
52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320
well you know like I thought we got to
53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,430
do this gig it's gonna be great I said
54
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:41,580
yeah
55
00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:51,570
Crosby was also performing at the
56
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:53,070
festival with the birds who were at the
57
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:55,670
height of their success
58
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:01,310
[Music]
59
00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:03,290
Crosby was having troubles with his
60
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:04,820
bandmates Chris Hillman and roger
61
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:07,280
McGuinn troubles that were magnified by
62
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,990
his performing with Buffalo Springfield
63
00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:12,980
I remember it being a very kind of sour
64
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:15,500
experience it was sad on stage there was
65
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,840
the camaraderie that we'd had as a band
66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,610
wasn't there anymore it was David
67
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:23,060
Crosby's wanting to be in what became
68
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:25,490
Crosby Stills and Nash that really drove
69
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,580
the situation to an end there was some
70
00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:32,330
friction there and also I just I've
71
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:35,720
never been here the the easiest person
72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,590
I'm very opinionated very independent
73
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:41,709
guy
74
00:03:46,450 --> 00:03:49,670
they said your brother tour without you
75
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:52,040
I stood by making terrific mistake you
76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,959
know I said well we think we'll do
77
00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:55,970
better without you when Buffalo
78
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:57,980
Springfield split for good Crosby
79
00:03:57,980 --> 00:04:00,540
instills decided to team up
80
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:02,670
we sort of found herself spending a lot
81
00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:05,900
of time together and driving around and
82
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,580
on singing songs and to basically man
83
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:10,709
cries we're hanging out and we went and
84
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,799
saw Graham sing with the Hollies and
85
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:16,829
then cast comes up and whispers to me do
86
00:04:16,829 --> 00:04:18,510
you think you guys need the harmony
87
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:20,840
singer
88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,510
Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas
89
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:31,100
introduced David and Stephen to the
90
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:34,100
English pop star Graham Nash Graham had
91
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,390
been a member of the Holly since the
92
00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:38,720
early 60s but by 1968 he was beginning
93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,580
to feel the limitations the group is
94
00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:43,000
putting on
95
00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:50,050
when I made the decision to leave the
96
00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:52,780
Hollies three things have happened one I
97
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:54,640
was getting frustrated that I was
98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,930
writing songs that I thought were pretty
99
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:58,090
cool and that they didn't want to record
100
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:00,190
secondly they wanted to do an entire
101
00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:02,500
album of Bob Dylan songs in a kind of
102
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,460
Las Vegas horn section swing band can
103
00:05:06,460 --> 00:05:09,220
detain and the third thing is that I'd
104
00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:11,920
actually been befriended by this teddy
105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
bear called David Crosby Cass Elliot
106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,180
said get in the car I want you to meet
107
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:18,340
somewhere she rather modern and told me
108
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:22,750
to get him stoned on his chest was a lid
109
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:26,260
from a shoebox and in the lid was a pile
110
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:30,250
a'dope I had this pullover pot meaning
111
00:05:30,250 --> 00:05:31,840
if you smoke something we're going
112
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,280
someplace you pull over and try to
113
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,380
remember where you were thought it was
114
00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:38,620
done air weed so he we laughed all
115
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:39,850
through the afternoon
116
00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:42,760
and I liked him a lot in the summer of
117
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,160
1968 crosby Stills and Nash sang
118
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,750
together for the first time at a house
119
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:49,060
in Laurel Canyon belonging to either
120
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:52,240
Cass Elliot or Joni Mitchell nobody is
121
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,300
absolutely sure now this is possibly
122
00:05:55,300 --> 00:06:00,250
because we might have smoked but you
123
00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:01,690
know none of us is absolutely sure
124
00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:03,370
whether it was Joanie's or cats as I say
125
00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:05,740
it was Joanie's say Davis got it wrong
126
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,770
it would sit casas hills were we sang
127
00:06:08,770 --> 00:06:10,330
together in the morning when you arise
128
00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:11,950
we had you know I had a pretty good
129
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:14,140
harmony - and are we saying it - Graham
130
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:18,180
you would do that again would you
131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,130
and the third time he put the top part
132
00:06:22,130 --> 00:06:25,870
on Stephen I look to each other in my
133
00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:28,430
before crosby Stills and Nash could make
134
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,290
their group official Graham had to go
135
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,820
back to England to quit The Hollies
136
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:34,330
David and Stephen joined him in London
137
00:06:34,330 --> 00:06:37,940
we could to Britain to rehearse now and
138
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:40,970
there were like fans that would spot us
139
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:44,150
in a card and holler things at us
140
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:46,100
because we were blowing up one of their
141
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:47,030
groups now
142
00:06:47,030 --> 00:06:49,250
oh there's horrible Americans I didn't
143
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:50,510
know that it's that big a deal
144
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:53,780
yeah just a band the trio rehearsed
145
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,190
their songs has started looking for
146
00:06:55,190 --> 00:06:57,680
label interest we did attempt at one
147
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,360
point to get on Apple Records it was a
148
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,380
up-and-coming new record label obviously
149
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,370
controlled by the Beatles and Peter
150
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:06,410
Asher at the time we actually auditioned
151
00:07:06,410 --> 00:07:09,700
for George and Peter
152
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:16,639
and we sang it very well and they passed
153
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,199
which I think they probably in hindsight
154
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,110
we're not happy about
155
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:23,550
ahmud arrogant of Atlantic Records had
156
00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:25,470
loved Buffalo Springfield and offered
157
00:07:25,470 --> 00:07:27,870
the new group a contract crosby Stills
158
00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:29,669
and Nash settled in Los Angeles to
159
00:07:29,669 --> 00:07:32,400
record their first album we knew that we
160
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,080
were doing something really unusual
161
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,180
we knew the songs were really good and
162
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:39,210
we were totally thrilled and it was the
163
00:07:39,210 --> 00:07:40,590
year of the guitar player you can
164
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,540
understand this was a year when clapped
165
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:45,180
on Hendrix and Jimmy Page and people
166
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:49,860
like that work it you know and for us to
167
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,430
come out from left field with this you
168
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:55,919
know three-part harmony and a lot of Kuh
169
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:57,570
stick stuff you know it's a pretty
170
00:07:57,570 --> 00:08:00,230
unexpected thing it was great
171
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:03,180
[Music]
172
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:07,290
cut my hair the music was wonderful but
173
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:08,880
the dynamic between the three strong
174
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:15,560
personalities is explosive I have my own
175
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360
weirdness isn't craziness with it it's
176
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,530
not as volatile as David his demons so
177
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:25,770
we settled into that role you know David
178
00:08:25,770 --> 00:08:28,470
and Stephen over the years I have loved
179
00:08:28,470 --> 00:08:30,330
each other to death we disagree about a
180
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:33,179
lot of stuff but we're brothers I love
181
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:33,659
him
182
00:08:33,659 --> 00:08:39,840
he loves me and brothers fight in May of
183
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,260
1969 the band released their debut sweet
184
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:45,360
Judy blue eyes in Marrakesh Express were
185
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,120
a.m. hits FM radio played the entire
186
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,670
album the music of crosby Stills and
187
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:51,990
Nash became the sound of the
188
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,630
counterculture within a few months David
189
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:56,310
Stephen and Graham would be more famous
190
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:57,690
than they had ever been with their
191
00:08:57,690 --> 00:08:59,880
previous bands they had never performed
192
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,340
live when an offer came in to appear at
193
00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:04,290
a summer music festival in upstate New
194
00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:07,050
York crosby Stills and Nash said yes
195
00:09:07,050 --> 00:09:09,690
their performance at Woodstock would
196
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:10,570
change everything
197
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:14,259
[Music]
198
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:23,460
[Music]
199
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:26,830
in the summer of 1969 Crosby Stills and
200
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,360
Nash released their first album to
201
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,150
immense critical and commercial acclaim
202
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:33,510
then it was time for the group to tour
203
00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:36,520
stills had overdub lead guitar keyboards
204
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,410
and bass on the album they would need
205
00:09:38,410 --> 00:09:40,360
other musicians to form the songs on
206
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,660
stage
207
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:45,879
[Applause]
208
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,350
it was Atlantic Records President Hamid
209
00:09:50,350 --> 00:09:52,540
Erica who suggested Stevens former
210
00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:54,880
bandmate Neil Young would be the perfect
211
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,580
addition I've been casting about for a
212
00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:59,560
keyboard player I wanted another
213
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,810
musician to play off it but I'm talking
214
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:04,870
away with Amin nothing but the armistice
215
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:06,720
why are you getting Neil and they were
216
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,910
didn't we just go through this Steven
217
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:12,190
decided that Ahmed was right David and
218
00:10:12,190 --> 00:10:14,470
Graham were not so sure we had a
219
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:16,510
interview with Neil in Greenwich Village
220
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:18,760
on Bleecker Street and I went to
221
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,140
breakfast with you because I was the one
222
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:22,300
that was mainly against it because I
223
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:25,390
didn't I didn't see what we needed from
224
00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:27,430
you you know the blend that we had with
225
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:29,140
our voices was pretty good
226
00:10:29,140 --> 00:10:31,480
and our musicianship was pretty good and
227
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,700
by the time I'd finished breakfast with
228
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,770
Neil I would have given in the world he
229
00:10:35,770 --> 00:10:38,980
was unbelievably brilliant and of course
230
00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:40,240
I loved his music
231
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,930
[Applause]
232
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:45,540
[Music]
233
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:49,910
it's songs how are you not going to
234
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:51,760
invite him in
235
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,899
you know listen the songs yeah good lord
236
00:10:57,899 --> 00:11:00,279
I'd ask him between the group if I had
237
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:02,090
25 people and
238
00:11:02,090 --> 00:11:06,630
[Music]
239
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:09,399
Neal had begun to establish himself as a
240
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,320
solo artist but the chance to team up
241
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,300
with his old Buffalo Springfield partner
242
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,330
was too tempting to resist I thought
243
00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:18,070
it'd be cool to play with Stephen again
244
00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:19,839
and the other guys were great singers
245
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:21,820
and had their own songs and everything
246
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:23,829
but I I really felt like I had some
247
00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:25,990
unfinished stuff with Stephen then we
248
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:28,480
fly together and you know we needed to
249
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,339
do more of that the band officially
250
00:11:30,339 --> 00:11:32,620
changed its name to crosby Stills Nash
251
00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:34,600
and young and went to perform their
252
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,060
first gig in Chicago one week later they
253
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:38,410
had their second performance at
254
00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:41,529
Woodstock looking at the world through
255
00:11:41,529 --> 00:11:43,410
the sunset in your eyes
256
00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:47,870
[Music]
257
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,540
this kid could come off and it was what
258
00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:54,250
kind of a shaky deal nobody was sure
259
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:55,810
what was gonna happen it was just knew
260
00:11:55,810 --> 00:11:57,700
that some of our favorite bands we're
261
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:04,089
gonna play to the big nervousness that
262
00:12:04,089 --> 00:12:06,579
everybody you know makes a point of you
263
00:12:06,579 --> 00:12:09,450
know what Stephen said
264
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:12,830
no yes the point was that all the people
265
00:12:12,830 --> 00:12:14,510
that we really cared about all standing
266
00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:18,590
behind us and they had all heard the
267
00:12:18,590 --> 00:12:20,620
record but we'd never played live before
268
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:25,900
and so they said okay let's see can I
269
00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:29,909
[Music]
270
00:12:37,020 --> 00:12:39,820
[Music]
271
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:41,240

00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,389
[Applause]
273
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:48,169
[Music]
274
00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:50,800
but when the cameras set up to shoot the
275
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,660
band's the start performance Neil Young
276
00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:55,840
refused to be filmed I was offended by
277
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,790
the cameras all over the place because
278
00:12:57,790 --> 00:13:00,520
it was a distraction to what we were
279
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,410
doing which was playing the music so I
280
00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:06,220
told him not to do that with me that not
281
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:09,640
to film me don't bother you know don't
282
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,860
come near me and you know stay out of
283
00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:13,990
the way after Woodstock the band's
284
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:15,610
reputation grew with every show they
285
00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:16,570
perform
286
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:19,899
[Music]
287
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:32,190
within a month after their first gig
288
00:13:32,190 --> 00:13:34,020
Crosby Stills Nash and young were
289
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:36,510
superstars the performance in New York's
290
00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:38,640
Fillmore East created such pandemonium
291
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,670
the crowds refused to leave the venue
292
00:13:40,670 --> 00:13:42,990
concert promoter Bill Graham began
293
00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:44,279
stuffing money underneath the
294
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,290
dressing-room doors until the band
295
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:48,270
returned to the stage
296
00:13:48,270 --> 00:13:51,080

[Music]
301
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,710
in September the group went to San
302
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:22,540
Francisco to record an album but the
303
00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:25,720
mood had changed four and twenty years
304
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,450
ago four come into this line the song of
305
00:14:31,450 --> 00:14:36,610
a woman and a man lived in strife he was
306
00:14:36,610 --> 00:14:38,530
tired
307
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:41,269
[Music]
308
00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:43,679
David suffered a huge loss when his
309
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:45,480
girlfriend Christine Hinton was killed
310
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,019
in a car accident when I made deja vu I
311
00:14:49,019 --> 00:14:50,600
was very sad
312
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,449
my girlfriend had just been killed and a
313
00:14:54,449 --> 00:14:55,920
lot of the time I would come into the
314
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,350
studio and just sit on the floor and cry
315
00:14:58,350 --> 00:15:02,189
I wasn't great together
316
00:15:02,189 --> 00:15:03,869
I'm amazed that we did as good of work
317
00:15:03,869 --> 00:15:06,540
as we did the band managed to finish
318
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:08,339
their album but it was a tough time to
319
00:15:08,339 --> 00:15:10,199
begin the longest tour any of them had
320
00:15:10,199 --> 00:15:23,759
ever been on DejaVu was released in
321
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:25,949
March of 1970 at the same time the
322
00:15:25,949 --> 00:15:28,769
Beatles broke up CSNY were Rock's new
323
00:15:28,769 --> 00:15:34,199
superstars their singles Woodstock our
324
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:36,119
house and teach your children were all
325
00:15:36,119 --> 00:15:38,549
over radio they were the symbol of peace
326
00:15:38,549 --> 00:15:42,360
and love except between themselves well
327
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,860
you know there was one time in Denver
328
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:46,079
where we had some some trouble but
329
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:47,850
rehearsals or something and they had
330
00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:50,009
booked the tour once again that never
331
00:15:50,009 --> 00:15:51,660
really works for us because the first
332
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,339
day we were rehearsing with the new bass
333
00:15:53,339 --> 00:15:55,230
player once we got to know the guy and
334
00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:57,089
start playing with him it was great so
335
00:15:57,089 --> 00:15:58,919
there was there was a big fight around
336
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:01,199
then we used to fight a lot started like
337
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:03,269
a hockey team you know the pucks flying
338
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:05,160
around the Neal tilts is great matter
339
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,689
for threat playing hockey
340
00:16:06,689 --> 00:16:07,860
they team's really clicking and
341
00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:09,389
everything and then all of a sudden the
342
00:16:09,389 --> 00:16:10,679
gloves are up they're all fighting and
343
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,149
then they pick them back up and they go
344
00:16:12,149 --> 00:16:13,860
back to playing hockey again it's kind
345
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:14,819
of like that
346
00:16:14,819 --> 00:16:17,459
in May of 1970 the band recorded what
347
00:16:17,459 --> 00:16:18,779
would become their most profound
348
00:16:18,779 --> 00:16:21,089
political statement a reaction to the
349
00:16:21,089 --> 00:16:22,739
shooting of for Kent State college
350
00:16:22,739 --> 00:16:26,389
students at an anti-war rally
351
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:41,440
I was at this house in Anna Canyon on
352
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,830
the California coast Crosby came up and
353
00:16:44,830 --> 00:16:46,870
he had the magazine the Kent State
354
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:49,870
killings cover on it and I'd heard it on
355
00:16:49,870 --> 00:16:53,310
the news but Crosby always has a way of
356
00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:55,720
bringing things into focus
357
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,779
that's wolf me after that there was
358
00:16:58,779 --> 00:17:01,779
something going on there that I had some
359
00:17:01,779 --> 00:17:04,569
thoughts about these started right in
360
00:17:04,569 --> 00:17:07,449
the song and when it was done and I
361
00:17:07,449 --> 00:17:10,750
called - I think it said get the studio
362
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:15,459
get any studio get it that run away and
363
00:17:15,459 --> 00:17:20,220
we cut it it was out for me
364
00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:25,049
[Applause]
365
00:17:28,810 --> 00:17:32,360
ohayo ratified CSN wise position as the
366
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,910
voice of the counterculture
367
00:17:34,910 --> 00:17:37,520
DejaVu was selling in the millions their
368
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,440
concerts were rallies rock shows
369
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,170
political events but Neil was gearing up
370
00:17:42,170 --> 00:17:44,150
to restart his solo career with his new
371
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:47,900
album after the gold rush in July the
372
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:51,560
CSNY tour ended and so did the band they
373
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,660
were living legends they had been
374
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:56,890
together one year
375
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:09,929
[Music]
376
00:18:09,929 --> 00:18:13,000
at the end of 1970 Crosby Stills Nash
377
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,919
and young had become the biggest band in
378
00:18:14,919 --> 00:18:17,379
America then at the peak of their fame
379
00:18:17,379 --> 00:18:20,110
they walked away we got together at a
380
00:18:20,110 --> 00:18:21,820
certain point in time and it had a huge
381
00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:23,559
effect on a lot of people including
382
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:26,860
ourselves and then but we always planned
383
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:28,120
from the beginning to go off in a
384
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:29,320
different directions and do different
385
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,820
things and it's just was a loose
386
00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:33,660
organisation
387
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:39,180
[Music]
388
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:41,480

389

[Music]
390
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,159
by the time the live album four way
391
00:18:58,159 --> 00:18:59,929
street was released crosby Stills Nash
392
00:18:59,929 --> 00:19:02,529
and young were all making solo records
393
00:19:02,529 --> 00:19:05,539
when we started we used our own names
394
00:19:05,539 --> 00:19:07,909
because we intended to continue with
395
00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:12,619
solo careers all of us and every time we
396
00:19:12,619 --> 00:19:14,929
did it fits it all they broke up we were
397
00:19:14,929 --> 00:19:16,489
never together but I thought that was
398
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:18,109
that was kind of cool he'd give
399
00:19:18,109 --> 00:19:20,539
ourselves you know some air and that's
400
00:19:20,539 --> 00:19:23,239
why we used all of our last names there
401
00:19:23,239 --> 00:19:25,700
was any plan at all that was the only
402
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,090
one in the aftermath of CSNY all four
403
00:19:29,090 --> 00:19:30,210
had hit so long
404
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:31,260
[Music]
405
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:34,349
[Applause]
406
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,250

407
00:19:37,250 --> 00:19:39,380

[Applause]
410
00:20:01,669 --> 00:20:09,799
mother nature on in the 1970
411
00:20:09,799 --> 00:20:12,030
while Stills and young were leading
412
00:20:12,030 --> 00:20:14,100
their own bands Crosby & Nash began
413
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:16,590
making music together as a duo David and
414
00:20:16,590 --> 00:20:18,720
I knew that we had a musical link and we
415
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,789
always haven't always will have there's
416
00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:23,340
probably no me currently that seems
417
00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:27,650
harmony the way national idea or kin
418
00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:34,029
[Music]
419
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:37,110
it was easy to make music with David
420
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:39,510
because we think so similarly it was a
421
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:42,779
joy we had great songs starting with the
422
00:20:42,779 --> 00:20:44,929
first Graham Nash David Crosby ready
423
00:20:44,929 --> 00:20:47,610
young solo music propelled him to the
424
00:20:47,610 --> 00:20:49,620
top of the charts in time his
425
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:51,450
association with crosby Stills and Nash
426
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:54,029
began to seem like a brief side trip in
427
00:20:54,029 --> 00:20:55,710
what was always essentially a solo
428
00:20:55,710 --> 00:20:58,440
career all the people that I play with
429
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,260
they all know me that that I'm moving
430
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,080
along and that I may not stay forever
431
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,770
and not might be back and you know as
432
00:21:07,770 --> 00:21:09,149
long as everybody knows that from the
433
00:21:09,149 --> 00:21:11,130
beginning it's great to see everybody
434
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:13,200
and then change is good for music so
435
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,990
real musicians understand that and they
436
00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:18,330
don't worry whether you're playing with
437
00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:20,810
them this year or not
438
00:21:20,810 --> 00:21:23,090
[Music]
439
00:21:23,090 --> 00:21:32,240
I wanna give I've been a miner for every
440
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,649
one of us has got off and it's only been
441
00:21:33,649 --> 00:21:36,470
really successful as Neil and he's done
442
00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:38,539
that brilliant
443
00:21:38,539 --> 00:21:41,239
in 1973 Neal was on the road when he
444
00:21:41,239 --> 00:21:43,179
called on David and Graham to join him
445
00:21:43,179 --> 00:21:45,619
after the tour the trio contacted
446
00:21:45,619 --> 00:21:47,589
Stephen and they all ended up in Hawaii
447
00:21:47,589 --> 00:21:50,599
they began recording new songs going so
448
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:53,299
far as to shoot an album cover photo but
449
00:21:53,299 --> 00:21:56,080
the reunion was not to be
450
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,360
when people plan things for us to do
451
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,560
thinking that all what a great
452
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,080
opportunity sometimes it didn't work out
453
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,270
you know because it wasn't we weren't
454
00:22:04,270 --> 00:22:08,040
looking at life that way at that time
455
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:13,090
say the relationship between Crosby
456
00:22:13,090 --> 00:22:15,550
Stills Nash and Neil is is very much
457
00:22:15,550 --> 00:22:17,460
like a frozen pond
458
00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:20,770
the ice gets a certain things and if we
459
00:22:20,770 --> 00:22:22,450
wait long enough it will bear your
460
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:24,520
weight but if you put too much weight on
461
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,760
it you'll go through the four musicians
462
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,970
scrapped the album but agreed to tour
463
00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:33,520
the demand for tickets was enormous for
464
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,170
the first time ever a rock group would
465
00:22:35,170 --> 00:22:37,680
do an entire tour football stadiums
466
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,859
[Music]
467
00:22:42,790 --> 00:22:46,870
time to change
468
00:22:48,390 --> 00:22:52,269
[Music]
469
00:22:53,150 --> 00:22:56,429
the tour was a huge success it was over
470
00:22:56,429 --> 00:22:58,110
the group convened in Los Angeles to
471
00:22:58,110 --> 00:22:59,940
make an album shortly after the
472
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:03,510
recording began Neal disappeared we
473
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:05,640
started it we cut two Tunes Neal said
474
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,990
show up the next day never saw him again
475
00:23:08,990 --> 00:23:11,340
everybody has to feel it at the same
476
00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:13,559
time for it to really be what it is I
477
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,720
mean I think it's really great that that
478
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,400
people have wanted CSNY to be together
479
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,700
over the years and I think that's
480
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,320
testimony to what that it was worth it
481
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,140
when we did get together but you have to
482
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:29,070
want to
483
00:23:29,070 --> 00:23:31,080
after those sessions fell apart the band
484
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,309
members went their separate ways
485
00:23:39,649 --> 00:23:42,330
prejudice is slick when it's a word game
486
00:23:42,330 --> 00:23:47,130
a year later Stephen was on tour with
487
00:23:47,130 --> 00:23:49,620
his own band when Neal showed up after
488
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,240
years as being part of Buffalo
489
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,940
Springfield and CSNY Stephen and Neal
490
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:56,640
began recording his Stills and young we
491
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,320
make lots of room for each other and we
492
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,360
listen to each other and there's little
493
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,429
spheres of influences you know and Neal
494
00:24:02,429 --> 00:24:04,799
and I have a way of saying things and
495
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:06,929
three sentences that it might take him
496
00:24:06,929 --> 00:24:10,080
and David all day to get to Stephen and
497
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,149
Neil a special chemistry of the same way
498
00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:14,960
of nationality
499
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:18,099
[Music]
500
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,340
Stephens always wanted to work with me I
501
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:22,710
think you always will and I think that
502
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:24,780
goes both ways
503
00:24:24,780 --> 00:24:31,419
[Music]
504
00:24:31,419 --> 00:24:34,249
after recording a few song Stills and
505
00:24:34,249 --> 00:24:35,989
young invited Crosby & Nash down to
506
00:24:35,989 --> 00:24:38,929
Miami to join the sessions once again
507
00:24:38,929 --> 00:24:42,499
talk of a CSNY album and tour began but
508
00:24:42,499 --> 00:24:44,239
David and Graham had signed a deal with
509
00:24:44,239 --> 00:24:45,950
ABC records and had to finish an album
510
00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:48,830
for them first they left Miami to finish
511
00:24:48,830 --> 00:24:51,139
the Crosby Nash album wind on the water
512
00:24:51,139 --> 00:24:53,419
and in their absence Neal and Stephen
513
00:24:53,419 --> 00:24:55,190
erased their vocals from other recorded
514
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:58,009
tracks David and Graham were heard in an
515
00:24:58,009 --> 00:25:01,249
angry Neil and Stephen released long may
516
00:25:01,249 --> 00:25:03,230
you run by the stills young band and
517
00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:05,710
went out on the road we've been through
518
00:25:05,710 --> 00:25:09,559
some things too
519
00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:12,320
it was a great record and then the tour
520
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,690
got going along pretty good and we were
521
00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:16,399
moving so fast though there was no time
522
00:25:16,399 --> 00:25:18,109
to rehearse up anything new so the set
523
00:25:18,109 --> 00:25:20,480
never changed after a few weeks Neil
524
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,789
quit the tour he left Stephen a telegram
525
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:24,649
that said funny how some things that
526
00:25:24,649 --> 00:25:27,409
start spontaneously and that way eat a
527
00:25:27,409 --> 00:25:30,440
peach Neil little sense of humor it
528
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,359
certainly wasn't I'd started I knew him
529
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,039
too well in late hurt might be things
530
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:36,350
like that with a little bit of verbal
531
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:37,100
jousting
532
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:40,100
I left the tour in the middle of the
533
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,540
tour and
534
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:44,580
there was something inherently something
535
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:46,559
was wrong something was wrong with the
536
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,380
whole thing and you know it wasn't
537
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:52,590
working the balance was off in some way
538
00:25:52,590 --> 00:25:56,010
so you know I bailed on hill got
539
00:25:56,010 --> 00:25:57,840
frustrated and then he got sick and he
540
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,630
said well that's it I'm off you know and
541
00:26:00,630 --> 00:26:03,120
he's you know he's got more nerve than I
542
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,970
do I can't I can't just bolt like that
543
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:09,240
Stephen was left shaken not only an eel
544
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,950
left him holding the bag on the rest of
545
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:13,350
the stills young days but he had done
546
00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:15,179
what it seemed like a reparable damage
547
00:26:15,179 --> 00:26:16,740
to his relationship with David and
548
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:19,290
Graham and Stephen showed up at a crosby
549
00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:21,120
nash concert and managed to patch things
550
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,000
up with david and graham crosby Stills
551
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,500
and Nash decided to pick up where they
552
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,140
left off after their first album in 1969
553
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:35,840
as a trio in 1976 they made CSM Shi
554
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:41,170
it was a big head Neil Young was back to
555
00:26:41,170 --> 00:26:43,150
being a solo artist crosby Stills and
556
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:45,580
Nash were back to being a group it was a
557
00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:46,450
pretty good time
558
00:26:46,450 --> 00:26:48,970
I remember recording the CSN record and
559
00:26:48,970 --> 00:26:51,610
in in criteria studios in Miami we had
560
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:52,870
we'd rented this villa
561
00:26:52,870 --> 00:26:54,760
we had great songs we were having a
562
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,150
great time
563
00:27:04,650 --> 00:27:10,120
like twice the speed of sound it's easy
564
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,660
to
565
00:27:13,510 --> 00:27:16,280
just a song before I go with CSN's
566
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,480
biggest hit ever
567
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,700
the band was back on top and exhilarated
568
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:21,860
to be there but David's drug use was
569
00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:23,900
escalating to dangerous levels
570
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:26,630
I was just shifting in the bad habit
571
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:28,670
from snorting cocaine to freebasing
572
00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:34,010
cocaine which is even worse and I was a
573
00:27:34,010 --> 00:27:35,930
very good place with my music Crosby
574
00:27:35,930 --> 00:27:38,810
Stills Nash was doing the CSN album but
575
00:27:38,810 --> 00:27:40,850
by the end of the 70s Graham had had
576
00:27:40,850 --> 00:27:46,700
enough Crosby next recording session the
577
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,310
band started a gem david was free
578
00:27:49,310 --> 00:27:56,810
smoking bass and his pipe was on an amp
579
00:27:56,810 --> 00:28:01,100
and the jam session was so vibrant and
580
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:05,540
so hot that the amp was shaking and it
581
00:28:05,540 --> 00:28:08,120
was slowly shaking the pipe towards the
582
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,820
edge of the end then the pipe fell off
583
00:28:10,820 --> 00:28:12,760
and shadow danced around
584
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,000
a David stopped who is it dope had
585
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,880
gotten more important to me than music
586
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,080
something which I swore would never
587
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,930
happen tomorrow and at that moment I
588
00:28:22,930 --> 00:28:25,270
knew that David was in deep trouble and
589
00:28:25,270 --> 00:28:27,190
that if David was in deep trouble we
590
00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:29,440
were all in deep trouble when he stopped
591
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,880
that Jam from going forward a door shut
592
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,880
in my mind that was the time I told
593
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,440
David that I couldn't make music with
594
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,930
him anymore Graham Nash was David
595
00:28:40,930 --> 00:28:42,850
Crosby's most loyal friend and defender
596
00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:45,160
if David was so far gone that even
597
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,840
Graham gave up on him it looked to
598
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,340
everyone like crosby Stills and Nash
599
00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:49,950
were gone for good
600
00:28:49,950 --> 00:28:54,130

[Music]
603
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:06,510
tene 81 Crosby Stills and Nash were
604
00:29:06,510 --> 00:29:09,120
divided again this time because of David
605
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,850
Crosby's drug addiction Stephen Stills
606
00:29:11,850 --> 00:29:13,920
and Graham Nash decided to record a duo
607
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,460
album
608
00:29:24,060 --> 00:29:26,120
you
609
00:29:27,170 --> 00:29:29,720
and I were totally we're just gonna make
610
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,490
a stew
611
00:29:30,490 --> 00:29:32,980
- record the only combination we haven't
612
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:34,929
done can't blame a man that was right
613
00:29:34,929 --> 00:29:37,840
near the end of my drug use days and I
614
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,210
was have bout us dysfunction as a human
615
00:29:40,210 --> 00:29:41,800
being could be and not be dead
616
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,600
we handed it in to Atlantic Records and
617
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880
they said no we want to see SN record
618
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,820
said there is no cross but he's gone he
619
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:52,059
said well we don't want the record so
620
00:29:52,059 --> 00:29:54,820
now we're $600,000 in a record out all
621
00:29:54,820 --> 00:29:59,490
right and I thought we Steven I said
622
00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:02,200
what was he we do and then we had to
623
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,000
make room for Dave you know any change
624
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280
some things that I really wish he hadn't
625
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,300
and then there were some other things
626
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,670
that were there were great additions it
627
00:30:09,670 --> 00:30:12,600
came on my special day
628
00:30:15,990 --> 00:30:19,930
[Music]
629
00:30:22,149 --> 00:30:24,459
Crosby was in bad shape but with his
630
00:30:24,459 --> 00:30:25,749
friends help he made it through the
631
00:30:25,749 --> 00:30:28,299
sessions the finished album included a
632
00:30:28,299 --> 00:30:30,189
song by Graham that documented how he
633
00:30:30,189 --> 00:30:32,979
felt about the whole saga of Crosby
634
00:30:32,979 --> 00:30:35,709
Stills Nash and young wasted on the way
635
00:30:35,709 --> 00:30:39,909
I wrote as a reaction to the amount of
636
00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:41,649
time that me and David and Steven and me
637
00:30:41,649 --> 00:30:43,149
and David and Steven and Neil of wasted
638
00:30:43,149 --> 00:30:45,069
over the years we have made a lot of
639
00:30:45,069 --> 00:30:47,289
good music I'm not denying that but we
640
00:30:47,289 --> 00:30:49,539
have wasted a lot of time we have wasted
641
00:30:49,539 --> 00:30:52,659
a lot of love and we have wasted a lot
642
00:30:52,659 --> 00:30:55,949
of life so
643
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:05,569
[Music]
644
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:07,440
the fact that I turned it into a hit
645
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,140
record is his fist he sell more silly
646
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:11,550
could considering what it's really about
647
00:31:11,550 --> 00:31:14,610
between 1982 and 1985
648
00:31:14,610 --> 00:31:16,950
David was arrested five times on various
649
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:18,900
drug and weapons related charges
650
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:21,450
but his habit persisted the trio toured
651
00:31:21,450 --> 00:31:23,430
on and off whenever David was well
652
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:27,050
enough I've always tried to be that 100%
653
00:31:27,050 --> 00:31:29,610
and he didn't always make it but I do
654
00:31:29,610 --> 00:31:31,740
believe that the compensation factor of
655
00:31:31,740 --> 00:31:34,080
me and Steven wanting to be stronger and
656
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,160
better because our partner was hurting
657
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,330
equaled everything humph to me
658
00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:41,970
in 1985 Crosby Stills and Nash had a
659
00:31:41,970 --> 00:31:44,040
bittersweet reunion with Neil Young and
660
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,640
Live Aid
661
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:54,309
[Music]
662
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,520
there are a lot of times that I would
663
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,050
rather not remember that's that one
664
00:32:03,050 --> 00:32:05,510
wasn't the worst or other times over
665
00:32:05,510 --> 00:32:08,240
much worse but you know a lot of times
666
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,160
when I did not do anywhere near where
667
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,580
I'm capable
668
00:32:14,309 --> 00:32:16,679
young tried to help Crosby as others had
669
00:32:16,679 --> 00:32:18,299
it was no use
670
00:32:18,299 --> 00:32:21,599
he carriage my house in the valley and
671
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:24,359
syphilis immune I know you kind of
672
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:28,049
scared to go to the hospital know what
673
00:32:28,049 --> 00:32:30,389
she's come down to my place even even
674
00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:32,309
kick all this stuff there and he took
675
00:32:32,309 --> 00:32:34,679
the time out to try and help save my
676
00:32:34,679 --> 00:32:42,899
life you know we we all care about each
677
00:32:42,899 --> 00:32:45,659
other a lot they offered to do another
678
00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:48,499
CSNY album if David managed to clean up
679
00:32:48,499 --> 00:32:50,700
instead David went on the run from the
680
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,129
police ending up on his boat in Florida
681
00:32:53,129 --> 00:32:56,909
when he was on the boat contemplating
682
00:32:56,909 --> 00:32:58,610
escaping
683
00:32:58,610 --> 00:33:00,590
and therefore never coming back into
684
00:33:00,590 --> 00:33:02,630
American society and being a fugitive at
685
00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:05,630
large a federal fugitive running out of
686
00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:09,230
food running out of money the decision
687
00:33:09,230 --> 00:33:12,290
that he made to walk off his boat into
688
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:15,230
the nearest FBI office was the point on
689
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:16,910
which David recognized that he
690
00:33:16,910 --> 00:33:19,910
desperately desperately needed help in
691
00:33:19,910 --> 00:33:22,610
December of 1985 David turned himself in
692
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:24,950
and was extradited to a Texas prison I
693
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:30,530
prayed for him as much as I do he got
694
00:33:30,530 --> 00:33:32,570
through it and then while facing the
695
00:33:32,570 --> 00:33:34,970
inevitable and then he got through it I
696
00:33:34,970 --> 00:33:36,740
don't want to be the recovery poster boy
697
00:33:36,740 --> 00:33:41,840
come on I I'm one of the lucky few that
698
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,270
was given a chance to get away from it
699
00:33:44,270 --> 00:33:48,890
and did took a year in prison and held a
700
00:33:48,890 --> 00:33:50,690
lot of meetings and a lot of help from
701
00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:54,080
their friends in 1986 David emerged from
702
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,780
prison clean and sober Neil kept his
703
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:58,730
word in the quartet regrouped to record
704
00:33:58,730 --> 00:34:00,980
American dream as a gesture of
705
00:34:00,980 --> 00:34:02,929
friendship it was wonderful but
706
00:34:02,929 --> 00:34:04,460
musically it was not the triumphant
707
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:09,220
reunion fans had waited 16 years to hear
708

[Music]
709
00:34:12,940 --> 00:34:17,360
it was part of a bargain that that we
710
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,920
would get together if David got
711
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,530
straightened out I don't remember a bit
712
00:34:21,530 --> 00:34:24,380
of it don't have Italy record I discuss
713
00:34:24,380 --> 00:34:26,449
it we really didn't get together we were
714
00:34:26,449 --> 00:34:29,420
just in the same area they did the work
715
00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:32,469
for it some more reasons that I can come
716
00:34:32,469 --> 00:34:36,320
dalia never been didn't work CSNY did
717
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,270
not tour in support of American dream
718
00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:40,520
young went back to his solo career in
719
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,530
Crosby Stills and Nash returned to the

[Music]
722
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:52,270
then in 1994 David was dealt another
723
00:34:52,270 --> 00:34:54,820
terrible blow I was very sick and I
724
00:34:54,820 --> 00:34:58,000
didn't know I was dying and I didn't
725
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,370
know my liver was probably half gone and
726
00:35:00,370 --> 00:35:02,230
we'd had no idea why I kept on the line
727
00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:04,810
on arrest Crosby finally went to the
728
00:35:04,810 --> 00:35:06,460
hospital and was told his liver was
729
00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:08,200
family and that he was probably going to
730
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,180
die he'd need all the luck in the world
731
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:12,730
just to survive for Crosby Stills Nash
732
00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:14,740
and young to ever make music again it
733
00:35:14,740 --> 00:35:16,530
would take a miracle

00:35:16,530 --> 00:35:25,910
[Music]
735
00:35:25,910 --> 00:35:29,160
in 1994 the future of Crosby Stills &
736
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,410
Nash was endowed as David Crosby's
737
00:35:31,410 --> 00:35:33,240
health was in serious decline that's
738
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:34,740
know when t is healing
739
00:35:34,740 --> 00:35:36,750
they sat me down he said David what the
740
00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:40,350
deal is is you have hepatitis C and your
741
00:35:40,350 --> 00:35:43,290
liver is just about destroyed and you're
742
00:35:43,290 --> 00:35:46,580
gonna die unless you get a transplant
743
00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:49,760
fairly soon and he put me on the list
744
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,220
and we started to wait David's friends
745
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:54,780
stuck with him through his ordeal with
746
00:35:54,780 --> 00:35:57,060
Graham Nash keeping vigil at his bedside
747
00:35:57,060 --> 00:36:00,870
they had medicine at UCLA call me one
748
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:02,700
day and said down we found a liver for
749
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,250
David you wanted we're gonna prep him do
750
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:09,870
you want to come I wish him the best and
751
00:36:09,870 --> 00:36:11,820
I go to the door and I turn around I
752
00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:13,310
says no luck
753
00:36:13,310 --> 00:36:17,120
don't you leave me with stills and he
754
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,650
burst out laughing and I burst out
755
00:36:18,650 --> 00:36:19,220
laughing
756
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:22,160
Crosby's will to live prevailed again he
757
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,810
made it through the operation got a new
758
00:36:23,810 --> 00:36:26,360
liver and regained a sound the puzzling
759
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,340
part isn't my descendant writes the
760
00:36:28,340 --> 00:36:31,180
puzzling part is the amazing good luck
761
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:34,160
has happened and continues to happen to
762
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,300
my life I am an incredibly fortunate man
763
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:40,010
when David was well enough crosby Stills
764
00:36:40,010 --> 00:36:43,010
and Nash returned to the road in 1997
765
00:36:43,010 --> 00:36:44,300
they were inducted into the Rock and
766
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:46,550
Roll Hall of Fame then they were dropped
767
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:49,010
by Atlantic Records when we signed with
768
00:36:49,010 --> 00:36:51,020
Atlantic Records in 1969 we signed for
769
00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:52,250
six records and I think we've only just
770
00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:54,380
done six records and it's 30 years later
771
00:36:54,380 --> 00:36:56,120
the last couple of records that I landed
772
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160
put out of ours I didn't think that they
773
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,650
cared about at all and so we wanted a
774
00:37:00,650 --> 00:37:03,440
clean break and we wanted a fresh stop I
775
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,350
don't think it's fair to blame just that
776
00:37:06,350 --> 00:37:07,760
one record company they all went through
777
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,230
the same metamorphosis
778
00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:11,150
these guys are lawyers and accountants
779
00:37:11,150 --> 00:37:14,570
they had a clue about music crosby
780
00:37:14,570 --> 00:37:16,250
Stills and Nash decided that they wanted
781
00:37:16,250 --> 00:37:18,050
to make new music with or without a new
782
00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:20,870
record deal in 1998 that put up their
783
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:23,270
own money and began recording then
784
00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:25,040
stills got a call from Neil Young who
785
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,960
was working on a Buffalo Springfield box
786
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,540
set the two old friends got together at
787
00:37:29,540 --> 00:37:31,460
Neal's ranch to listen to the tapes of
788
00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:33,470
their first band basically we were
789
00:37:33,470 --> 00:37:35,450
reliving our childhood and I played in
790
00:37:35,450 --> 00:37:37,850
his new song I was working on and asked
791
00:37:37,850 --> 00:37:40,400
him if he would come down and help Gabe
792
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,710
Ingram and I
793
00:37:41,710 --> 00:37:43,600
you know cut that I thought that was a
794
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,690
cool idea so a few weeks later I went
795
00:37:46,690 --> 00:37:49,060
down there and I actually didn't even
796
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:51,400
call him I just waited I was well on my
797
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,960
way down there and then called him from
798
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,450
a Roadhouse young began recording with
799
00:37:55,450 --> 00:37:57,580
crosby Stills and Nash and soon they had
800
00:37:57,580 --> 00:37:59,560
more than an albums worth of material
801
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,400
Daigo Neal this is not you guesting on
802
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,280
CSN reckoning
803
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,000
what are we doing Wow
804
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,320
looks like we're heading into a CSNY
805
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,770
record
806
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,610
me the third studio album by Crosby
807
00:38:24,610 --> 00:38:26,380
Stills Nash and young was released in
808
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:29,320
the fall of 1999 the group had made one
809
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,230
album in the 70s one in the 80s and one
810
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:34,510
at the end of the 90s they called it
811
00:38:34,510 --> 00:38:37,540
looking foam it speaks to everything
812
00:38:37,540 --> 00:38:40,240
that I'm feeling I want to look forward
813
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:43,870
I've done enough explaining what we get
814
00:38:43,870 --> 00:38:46,810
wrong in our middle years and I'm
815
00:38:46,810 --> 00:38:49,600
looking forward to how much fun we're
816
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,750
gonna have rediscovering the joy of
817
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:56,410
being together CSNY agreed to tour for
818
00:38:56,410 --> 00:38:59,290
the first time in 25 years but the dates
819
00:38:59,290 --> 00:39:01,060
were put on hold when Graham Nash broke
820
00:39:01,060 --> 00:39:02,710
both of his legs in a freak boating
821
00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:04,870
accident I must tell you that as a
822
00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:06,400
musician this was one of the strangest
823
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,350
sounds I ever heard when I broke my legs
824
00:39:08,350 --> 00:39:11,440
and I thought I really heard myself here
825
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,320
I did not think about the tour I didn't
826
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,330
think about anything Graham had been
827
00:39:16,330 --> 00:39:17,860
sailing with his family when a storm
828
00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:19,960
came out he was thrown in the air by the
829
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,630
waves when he landed back in the boat he
830
00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:25,480
shattered his legs it was a two-hour
831
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,480
journey back after the accident on the
832
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,420
boat to port and the way that I dealt
833
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:34,780
with it was I chose to ignore everything
834
00:39:34,780 --> 00:39:38,140
to know my race I went in my mind to a
835
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:40,090
great sunset and my land in Hawaii with
836
00:39:40,090 --> 00:39:42,910
its waterfalls and the beauty of it and
837
00:39:42,910 --> 00:39:45,130
the two hours passed very quickly
838
00:39:45,130 --> 00:39:47,410
Nash's recovery was difficult but his
839
00:39:47,410 --> 00:39:49,300
spirit was strong carried him through
840
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,760
the year 2000 brought another medical
841
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,130
surprise from David Crosby but this time
842
00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:56,440
it was a happy one the man who came back
843
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,480
from near death by drugs in the 80s and
844
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,970
liver disease in the 90s was revealed to
845
00:40:00,970 --> 00:40:02,620
be the secret birth father of the
846
00:40:02,620 --> 00:40:04,420
children of singer Melissa Etheridge and
847
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:07,240
her partner Julie cypher Crosby told
848
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,970
animées world fatherhood is the wildest
849
00:40:09,970 --> 00:40:11,140
ride I've ever been
850
00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:14,230
and that's saying something Crosby
851
00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:15,910
Stills Nash and young had beaten the
852
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:18,130
odds so many times who would be hard to
853
00:40:18,130 --> 00:40:20,079
ever count them out again in spite of
854
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:22,359
all their battles all their talent and
855
00:40:22,359 --> 00:40:24,009
all the temptations that came with
856
00:40:24,009 --> 00:40:26,230
success in the long run the music they
857
00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:28,210
made and the love between them was
858
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:29,890
always strong enough to bring them back
859
00:40:29,890 --> 00:40:32,289
together we have more compassionate with
860
00:40:32,289 --> 00:40:34,119
each other we're more understanding of
861
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:36,130
our own weaknesses and strengths we are
862
00:40:36,130 --> 00:40:38,980
more sensitive Nash's peers you know a
863
00:40:38,980 --> 00:40:43,299
gentleman and I would have always put
864
00:40:43,299 --> 00:40:46,749
him at the center of the group I think
865
00:40:46,749 --> 00:40:49,779
he's the central guy Graham he's really
866
00:40:49,779 --> 00:40:52,180
great in the studio and he works really
867
00:40:52,180 --> 00:40:55,239
hard to keep things going and keep
868
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,230
things organized
869
00:40:56,230 --> 00:41:02,660
Steven explosive brilliant passionate
870
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:06,259
guitar player musician singer writing
871
00:41:06,259 --> 00:41:08,450
how can you compete with Stephen Stills
872
00:41:08,450 --> 00:41:10,400
he's a great musician you can't compete
873
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,380
you can't compete with Neil Neil said
874
00:41:12,380 --> 00:41:16,309
brilliant deep guy a huge creative force
875
00:41:16,309 --> 00:41:23,420
and he changes the chemistry me I'm kind
876
00:41:23,420 --> 00:41:25,170
of a lunatic
877
00:41:25,170 --> 00:41:28,350
I can't categorize my stuff well David
878
00:41:28,350 --> 00:41:37,190
is more the sole catalyst and spiritual
879
00:41:37,190 --> 00:41:40,230
level of things you know in some ways to
880
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:44,760
me and then Steven is just my bro I mean
881
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,440
and I love to play guitar with them
882
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,760
between the three of them they're just
883
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,960
never gonna let me down
884
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,060
yeah we're just different yeah we make
885
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:52,530
lots of room for each other and we
886
00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:54,150
listen to each other really assiduously
887
00:41:54,150 --> 00:41:56,340
like we did when we first started when
888
00:41:56,340 --> 00:41:58,380
we were kids I must tell you that the
889
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:00,270
feeling between the four of us has never
890
00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:03,080
