Crosby and Nash on Some HorriblyLate NightTVShow

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I hate to say this, but they haven't sounded very good in years, at least
when I heard them on TV.
They sure were great at the Greek theater in '69.

Did they talk about their "Joint Presidency"?

When I saw them they were calling themselves "The Frozen Noses".

I think Nash has always kept himself pretty together, singing well all along.
It's Crosby and Stills who really lost it, Crosby most famously for his
virtual-suicide drug binges over an absolutely unimaginable number of years.
Such a shame. He had one of the best sounding high male voices ever (insert
"high" joke here). In addition to CSN, he was probably the biggest single
contributor to the distinctive sound of The Byrds next to Roger McGuinn's 12
string (and voice).

Check out Crosby's singing on the CPR studio albums. He still sounds great (at
least in the studio)! I NEVER heard a live performance by CSN that sounded that
good. Of course this was before in-ear monitors wer available.

You know term "egomanic with an iniferiority complex".
I think that discribes Mr. Stills to a tee.
Add lots of coke and booze, and you got one real swell guy. Never met David,
but talked with him on the phone a few years ago, he seemed ok.
From what I've heard, Graham is the saniest and nicest.

It's Deja Vu (okay, that's their second album) all over again:
