CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG BACK ON STAGE TOGETHER FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1970!
Stephen Stills was booked to play two gigs at San Francisco's Winterland in October 1973 with his band Manassas.
Surprises were in store both nights, but the October 4th gig turned out to be the most delightful. Following a lengthy set by Manassas, the audience was charged up and cheering for more.
When Stills returned to the stage with David Crosby and Graham Nash in tow, the audience was ecstatic! The trio hadn't shared a stage since 1970. Strapping on acoustic guitars, they first delight the audience with two staples from their debut album; 'Helplessly Hoping' and 'Wooden Ships'.
The harmonies are ragged and the delivery unrehearsed, but regardless, just having these musicians playing together again, and obviously enjoying it, was a cause for celebration.
When Neil Young walks out to join the other three, the crowd goes nuts.
The musical chemistry between Stills and Young had always been undeniable, but many believed they'd never see the two on the same stage again, so this was indeed a monumental moment!
