HAPPY 32nd WOODSTOCK ANNIVERSARY 1969-2001 *August 15th, 16th, 17th 1969* No show tonight Next show #3 is Thursday 08/16 in Pittsburgh Submitted to the site by Neal Alhadeff THANKS NEAL :-) RollingStone.com Daily Music News CSN Still Looking Forward (Article excerpt) A barefooted Graham Nash strolls across the well-warn carpet that has graced so many Crosby, Stills and Nash stages and loudly proclaims to anyone listening, "OK, we've got songs." At a rehearsal hall in Burbank, California, it's obvious that CSN do have plenty of great songs to run through while they prepare for their first major tour in five years. With the band back in place, they run through a new Nash rocker "Dirty Little Secret," which is about a little-known Southern race riot in the 1920's that still holds the record for the most casualties resulting from a racial incident in American history. Stephen Stills begins the song on timbales, then switches over to an ancient Fender Strat for a bombastic, searing solo. The whole band (Mike Finnigan on organ, Joe Vitale on drums and Gerald Johnson on bass) is working like one gigantic instrument. As a rock & roll band, Crosby, Stills and Nash have never sounded better. "Yeah, it's gonna be a good tour," says David Crosby, who is doing double duty fronting his own band, CPR, as well as his day job with CSN. CSN&Y had a big year in 2000, with their Looking Forward album and subsequent tour. To some extent, that experience has rubbed off on CSN today. "You know," continues Crosby, "it just gave it a little freshness again, because CSN&Y is a completely different band, a completely different chemistry. We [CSN] do different things; we do some of the same songs completely different. So, coming from that to this gives freshness to this. We got into a room together and dug in and played and looked at each other and got grins all over our faces. This is a rock & roll band; this is some serious stuff. And then we did a couple of acoustic things and they sounded really, really good. CSN has been a great band for a lot of years, and I think that we're getting to the point in our lives where we're grateful when we hear that real stuff happen, and we look up and say, 'Ah, thank you, thank you -somebody's being nice to us. The muse just came and sat on my shoulder again.'" 08/14/01 update TONIGHT CSN 2001 Show #2 Rosemont Theatre Chicago HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!! 60 Well the word on the street-tah is CSN "Kicked Ass" in Detroit last nite.

However, the two are in total agreement about the effect putting together the new Buffalo Springfield Box Set had on them. In fact, both men say that the project--which Young helmed, but also involved the other members of the band--helped enhance their nearly 40-year relationship, and both have par Young recalls, "He came up to the ranch and we played it. We had to stop after the first half and take a little while off, a couple of days or something, and then come back and listen to the rest of it, 'cause it was four CDs and it was a real experience for us listening to ourselves grow and reach a certain point and then listening to the group kind of disintegrate and fall away from itself, so it was a learning experience." Stills concurs, adding that Box Set opened the door for Young to rejoin Stills, David Crosby, and Graham Nash for the Looking For listened to...We couldn't listen to the whole thing at once. It was, like, too emotionally overwhelming 'cause it's sort of like revisiting your childhood, only a smellaphonic dream, you know? And, and we just...we laughed and cried and it brought us back together spiritually. It was really, really quite something." Stills is currently preparing for a CSN tour that kicks off August 13 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan. He has told LAUNCH that he expects another CSNY tour to take place in the next couple of years as well.

See July 2001 What's Going Down for those figures..... For the NEIL YOUNG and CRAZY HORSE Euro tour NONE of the numbers have surfaced till now.

They sounded good and in gear for the tour. Bob Coburn started the evening with Stephen. They discussed the glorious Buffalo Springfield Boxed set and fielded some calls. Stephen was in good form. The BIG NEWS item from it all was Stephen discussing the fact that he has 1 more song to write to go towards his solo project. Friends I believe we are truly going to see a Stills solo record next year. Can't be soon enough for me! BEAUTY David came on during the later portion of the show with James Raymond. James was in studio and David was calling in. They also fielded some calls and played some Cpr tunes on the air waves. David confirmed the band for the CSN tour FINNIGAN - VITALE - JOHNSON All in all a good night! Weird item for the day So I’m waiting for Rockline to hit the airwaves last night watching the festivities of the much ballyhooed MTV 20th Anniversary celebration @ the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Best moment, Kid Rock and Billy Gibbons jamming on an imprompteau slow blues. They also paraded alot of the old VJ’s out for the event. When what to our amazement, we get some STILLS content... be it weird anyway... Former MTV VJ ‘KENNEDY’ when remembering Woodstock 94 Kennedy said something to the affect of: “I was so excited I got Stephen Stills face tattooed on my heine.” Oh I forgot to mention that recently I saw a brief interview with Graham on the new VH1 CASS ELLIOT: Behind the Music. 08/01/01 update STOP! HEY, WHAT'S THAT SOUND? It's been 27 years and five months since a Buffalo Springfield album has appeared on the Billboard album chart. Their "Box Set" (Atco/Elektra/Rhino) debuts at No. 194 on The Billboard 200 this week, giving the seminal group a well-deserved chart placing.

Some clarification from Gerry Tolman on Stephen's appearance on Jim Ladd's show He did the following songs: "Stephen gave a great interview, from music to politics. It was a high energy 1 hour show. Played 4 songs acoustic; Bluebird, For What It's Worth, Seen Enough, as well as an awesome tribute to Fred Neil, Dolphin, which is a Fred Neil song." Thanks Gerry!!

Read here from Bonnie Harris who listened in and sent to the site: "Stephen Stills was on (was he ever!) Jim Ladd's Living Room last night. He did "Bluebird", "For What It's Worth", a beautiful Fred Neil song that I can't remember the name of (NOT "Everybody's Talkin'") and "Seen Enough". He was solo acoustic. Played great, sang great. He was very funny and personable. Of course, Jim Ladd is master at getting these guys to be at their best. Beautifully engineered too. I really enjoyed it." THANKS BONNIE FOR LETTING US KNOW!!!!! GO STEPHEN!!!!!
