Crosby, Stills and Nash are a folk rock group hailing from California, U.S who formed in 1968. They are arguably the most celebrated rock super-group of all time, who are best known for their collaborations with Neil Young, and for releasing eight studio albums since their debut in 1969.

Giving the phrase “super-group” an unambiguously good name is the California based band Crosby, Stills and Nash, who came together in 1968 after the bands that each member came to prominence in split up. David Crosby was the singer and songwriter from The Byrds, a band that he was dismissed from in 1967 due to friction with his fellow bandmates. Crosby had a friend in the form of Stephen Stills, whose band Buffalo Springfield had folded completely in early 1968. The duo began meeting up together and jamming, before writing the song “Wooden Ships” together on Crosby’s boat.

Inspired by the quality of “Wooden Ships”, Crosby and Stills started writing together regularly, coming up with a backlog of songs that neither of them knew quite what to do with. At around the same time, Graham Nash found himself in California after being kicked out of his band The Hollies. He’d known Crosby since The Byrds had toured the United Kingdom earlier in the decade and started seeing him again soon after he landed there. This all culminated in a party that Joni Mitchell threw in her house in July 1968, where Mitchell asked Crosby and Stills to perform a song of Stills’ composition that she’d heard earlier in the day.

As they performed, Nash chimed in with an improvised harmony line, and everyone who was listening found that they had great vocal chemistry together. The trio decided to form a band together, but didn’t want to be locked into a group structure that had burned them before. They decided to focus on the three of them performing together as three distinct songwriters and named the new group after their own surnames. This ensured that the band couldn’t continue without the involvement of all three of them. Clearly these were three carefree individuals who weren’t bitter with anything in the slightest.

Soon after they formed, the group managed to sign a record deal with Atlantic Records. However, they also signed a management deal with Elliot Roberts and David Geffen, giving them one of the most formidable management teams in rock music at the time. It was pretty much a given that anything they’d put out would be a hit and their self-titled debut album did not disappoint, spawning two hit singles off the back of it and peaking at number six on the Billboard albums chart. However, this presented the group with their own set of problems, as they needed to tour and Stills had performed all the instruments on the record save for the drums.

The band needed a fourth member to compliment them, and to Stills’ horror and Nash’s consternation, Ahmet Ertegun, the boss of their record label, suggested Stills’ Buffalo Springfield bandmate Neil Young. Stills understandably didn’t want anything to do with his old band and Nash had never met Young before, but the initial meetings went well enough. Young became a paid up member of the band, one who was still allowed to continue his celebrated solo career during the band’s downtime. After recruiting a rhythm section in the form of the drummer on their first record Dallas Taylor and 19 year old Motown bass player Greg Reeves, they started performing live, with their second ever show taking place at a little gathering called the Woodstock festival.

Ever since then, their storied career has taken them into the heart of American rock. Every single member of the band having been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, as a member of CSN&Y and in their previous groups. Their stories of interpersonal friction are as legendary as their music and their activism, and to this day Crosby, Stills and Nash can still put on one hell of a live show. With a back catalogue of songs that any folk-rock fan would swear by, Crosby, Stills and Nash come highly recommended.

Live reviews

Somehow they’ve survived in-fighting, drug and alcohol problems, liver transplants and prison time (and that just David Crosby) – Crosby, Still and Nash just keep on rolling. How they have the energy to do at their age when I can’t climb stairs without stopping for regular breaks is beyond me. Surely I don’t have to point out the classic stream of records CSN produced from the late 60s to the end of the 70s? I do? Okay, putting aside the Buffalo Springfield wonders and the solo releases, CSN had a self-titled debut in ’69, Deja Vu in 1970 and CSN in 1977, all of which contained songs of political activism, peace and love which resonate as much today as they did back in the day. Live, it’s best to sit back and enjoy the ride as the white-haired Crosby, the tough guy looks of Stephen Stills and the sprightly Graham Nash guide you through a couple of hours of ‘Marrakesh Express’, ‘Guinnivere’ and ‘Cathedral’ while also visiting the solo back catalogues with stirring renditions of ‘Love the One You’re With (Stills), ‘What Makes It So’ (Crosby) and ‘Here For You’ (Nash). You will, of course, overcome the whiff of cheese when the encore of ‘Teach Your Children’ starts up, and head off into the night wishing it was the 60s and you were off for a drink down Laurel Canyon way.

Report as inappropriate

Music legends David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash are currently performing in the folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash and although there has been continuos inter-band disputes and issues with substance abuse, the group continue to tour to date.

All of the members are now into their 70's yet they have such dedication for the music there is no sign of them taking early retirement anytime soon. They also appear to have the fan's dedication very much at the centre of what they do as they continuously thank them for coming out to support their shows and explain that without them they probably all would be in respective retirement.

This would be a crying shame as the audience would be robbed of hearing classics such as 'Wooden Ships' and 'Lay Me Down'. They also honour their frequent collaborator Neil Young by performing 'Chicago' and 'Our House' both recorded with the great man himself. The compassionate way in which the group performs is clear proof they still very much care about the live experience and the whole room is in agreed opinion they are masterful in their craft.

It was amazing. Every song was just as good if not better than when it was recorded. David Crosby looks great, Stephen Stills' guitar playing is amazing, and Graham Nash's voice is great! They still got it!

Great show, the best CSN I have seen. It was assisted by a superb vocal audience, very enthusiastic (considering their average age!!). Thanks a lot and hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic concert. Great singers (they still have very good voices), great guitar players. They have a great band. I had a wonderful time. They sang new songs and all the old hits.

Music | more potential jurors dismissed as trump’s hush money trial enters second day, music | graham nash talks new tour, joni mitchell, and crosby, stills, nash & young, the musician, who plays malibu on oct. 14, has a new album coming. ‘i’ve got one ready to go. it’s already mastered,’ he says. ‘and it’s my most personal album.’.

Graham Nash will have played more than 40 concerts this year by the time he gets to Malibu on Friday, Oct. 14, and his excitement to be on the road is clear when he calls from his home in Manhattan’s East Village recently.

“It’s very, very satisfying,” says the singer-songwriter and two-time inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as both a member of the Hollies and of Crosby, Stills & Nash .

“I do love these small places,” he says of the venues such as the Smothers Theatre in the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts at Pepperdine University where he’s playing this time out. “Obviously, I’ve gone from singing ‘Guinnevere’ to half a million people to playing in Malibu.”

The conversation began with talk of the tour and new album, “Graham Nash: Live – Songs for Beginners / Wild Tales,” a collection that presents live versions of his first two solo albums recorded in 2019.

It ended up with Nash’s thoughts on his former girlfriend Joni Mitchell’ s return to live performance seven years in July after a devastating brain aneurysm, as well as an update on how things stand between Nash and his former bandmates in Crosby , Stills, Nash & Young and the Hollies today.

Q: After two years away from live shows, what was it like for you when this tour started? Were you concerned about how you would feel or how the audiences would react?

A: I actually at one point had to change the beginning of my show. Meaning that normally you would come out and you would play like a smaller hit, you know, so that people can take off their jackets and get in their seats and stuff.

Because of what’s been going on in Ukraine, I actually started with ‘Find the Cost of Freedom’ acoustic, and then follow that with ‘Military Madness.’ So I did actually change my show. But then I realized that maybe I’m just bumming them out quick.

So I changed once again, the beginning of my show, and I do the anti-Putin rap about five songs in.

Q: Planning a set must be both fun and challenging given the many songs you have to choose from. There are some that fans obviously are going to demand to hear ‘Teach Your Children’ and ‘Our House.’ What’s it like to kind of fill out the set with songs that they’re not expecting?

A: I think one of the things that they like about the show, and always have done, is that you have no idea what’s coming next. I do love to throw songs in there that they’ve never heard. I’ve actually done shows where I’ve written a song that morning and played it that night. So my audience loves the fact that they have no clue as to what really is coming next.

I realized that if (David) Crosby is not playing any more and Stephen (Stills) is not playing anymore – and who knows what Neil’s up to – if you want to hear any of those songs, probably my show is the only show that you’re going to see one of the originals playing those songs.

And I love Neil Young songs. I do ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart,’ which Neil wrote for me actually about me and Joni. And I’ve done ‘A Case of You,’ which is a Joni Mitchell song, of course, one of my favorites. Yeah, I go anywhere I want and I’m very pleased to be able to do that because as you said, I have written a lot of songs.

Q: Then there are always a handful of songs from ‘Songs For Beginners,’ like ‘Chicago,’ ‘Military Madness,’ and ‘Simple Man,’ but none from ‘Wild Tales,’ which is the other one on the live record. Why is that?

A: During that first album, ‘Songs For Beginners,’ I was in love with Joni and we were living together, and so I was very happy. When we came to do (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s) ‘Deja Vu,’ Joni and I were no longer together.

So the difference in the attitude of both albums, one of them, the first one is very sunny and full of love and open-endedness. And ‘Deja Vu’ was sort of a depressing album, and so was ‘Wild Tales.’ And that’s why. It’s very hard to sing very depressing songs. I mean, some of those songs I’d never even done live.

But I enjoyed it. It was my wife, Amy Grantham, who gently forced me to do these shows, because she’s a fan of my music and she wanted to see them, and so I did. I did four shows and chose the best of each song, the best performance, and ended up with a pretty good live album.

Q: When you were recording those, especially the ‘Wild Tales’ album, how did it feel? Is there enough distance now you are able to sing them without getting too bummed out?

A: I still feel the emotions. I really do. I tell my audience, you know, I want to sing these songs that I sung a million times. I want to sing with the same energy I had when I wrote them. And I think my audience deserves that.

And that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m gonna stand up there with a good guitar and two people are playing with me. Shane Fontaine, of course, my guitar player, and Todd Caldwell, my keyboard player. Yeah, I’m having a good time. I feel very creative. I feel full of energy and I can’t wait to get out there.

Q: You touched on the war in Ukraine earlier. It’s hard to miss the relevance of songs like ‘Military Madness’ and even a little bit of ‘Chicago.’

A: The truth is, it’s insane to me how songs I wrote 50 years ago are still relevant today. Military madness is still happening in Ukraine and Putin. Of course, you know, it’s still happening. We have never learned from history and that’s one of our mistakes.

Q: What is the crowd’s reaction to those songs? Your audiences have grown up with you – how do they respond?

A: They respond very well because they sing ‘no more war’ at the end. I sing a chorus of just ‘no more war,’ you know, ‘I’m sick and tired of war.’

And I’m sure we all are. And I think that humanity right now is tired. I think our hearts are tired, our souls are tired. We’ve had four years of Trump. We’ve had three years of pandemic; we’ve had the war in Ukraine. We’re tired.

I go up there, I think, for two or three hours a night you can be enjoying yourself.

Q: Are you telling stories between songs still as part of the show?

A: Yeah, sometimes. I don’t talk about every song. I understand that the art of songwriting to somebody who doesn’t write songs is quite magical. It is. You know, I take it for granted because I’ve been doing it for over 60 years myself.

Q: You mentioned you mentioned Joni Mitchell a few minutes ago. Did you see her performance at the Newport Folk Festival? What did you think?

A: I sure did. And I can tell you that there is no one happier than me that Joni is finally out there singing and getting in front of people. Her journey has been amazing. I mean, she got polio when she was nine and had to spend weeks in hospital. She had to give up her daughter, you know.

She’s had an incredible journey. And then the brain aneurysm and the fact that first of all, she’s alive. She’s alive, still. And that’s fantastic. There’s nobody happier than me to see her singing

Q: You mentioned how you’re the one person that people can come and see, at least this year, performing some of these songs. I was curious if you still talk to Steven or Neil or, or maybe even David? What’s your status of talking to the other three guys from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young?

A: I talk to Stephen every week. I talk to Neil every couple of weeks. Um, and I haven’t spoken to David in nearly three years.

Q: Fans always are going to wonder when they read a story about one of you guys if there’s any chance that you might get back together even with one of the other guys and do something.

A: Who knows what’s going on in the life of a musician, you know? I despised everything (at a point in the past) and Neil has come and said, ‘Hey have you heard these three Stephen songs? Man, we should make an album.’

And he plays me three songs, and they break my heart and then I’m back into the madness. So you never know what’s gonna go on. I don’t think that CSN will ever appear together and I don’t think CSNY will ever appear together.

Q: I saw an article from when the most recent record came out in 2016 that said there were additional songs that were written and maybe even recorded then. Is there a chance we might get another new album from you at some point in the future?

A: I’ve got one ready to go. It’s already mastered, already mixed, already got the cover. It’s all ready to go. It’ll be out in six months in the spring. The album is called ‘Now,’ and it’s my most personal album.

I’ve also been singing remotely with Allan Clarke. Allan and I started the Hollies in December of 1962. And he’s the great voice behind ‘The Air That I Breathe,’ and ‘He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother,’ and ‘Long Tall Woman.’ I’ve been singing on his album, so I think I’m on every single track.

Graham Nash talks new tour, his epic years with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

• Published: Mar. 17, 2022, 9:00 a.m.

It’s been 10 years or so since Graham Nash went by 815 Palm Avenue, the West Hollywood address of a rundown house where Crosby, Stills & Nash shot the cover photo for their 1969 self-titled debut album.

“It’s still gone,” Nash says in his crisp British accent, followed by a laugh. The CSN house was torn down soon after that cover photo was taken. Thankfully, Nash is still standing. As is his music, which is about as immortal as anything in classic-rock. Nash-penned rubies include “Our House,” “Teach Your Children,” “Just a Song Before I Go” and “Marrakesh Express " – recorded by his folk-rock supergroups Crosby, Stills & Nash (also featuring Byrds and Buffalo Springfield expats David Crosby and Stephen Stills) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (after Stills’ Buffalo Springfield homey Neil Young supersized CSN).

Nash’s exquisite, expressive vocals are essential to those compositions. With his previous group The Hollies, Nash cowrote/sang “Carrie Anne,” the summery ode to ‘60s “it girl” Marianne Faithfull. His 1971 solo album “Songs For Beginners,” with assists from the likes of Jerry Garcia and Neil Young, is required listening for singer/songwriter enthusiasts.

Nash has led eventful life away from his music too. He’s an accomplished photographer. He had a famous relationship with another apex songsmith, Joni Mitchell. And for Christ sake, Nash was in a band with David Crosby for decades and lived to tell, as detailed in the 2013 memoir “Wild Tales.” Recently, I caught up with Nash for a quick phone interview. He was in New Jersey, about to head to the first gig of his latest tour, the self-descriptive “An Intimate Evening of Songs & Stories with Graham Nash.” Edited experts from our conversation are below.

Graham, the “Intimate Evening of Songs & Stories” tour was originally scheduled for 2020, before the pandemic hit. In the two years since, how have your plans for the shows changed and how’ve they remained the same?

Well, you know, there are basic songs that I realized that fans of mine want to hear. They want to hear “Our House” and they want to hear “Teach Your Children,” etcetera. But I think, there are like 24 songs in the show. And there’s new stuff in there, some stuff you’ve never heard before, and I’m really looking forward to playing.

That’s thrilling there’s new stuff in the set too, along with the classics. You’re a relentlessly creative guy, and there’s no shortage of inspiration in the world for songwriters these days. What sort of subjects are you writing songs and lyrics about these days, Graham?

Everything from falling in love to hating stuff. I’m in love with my new wife, and I hate Trump. [Laughs] And everything in between.

You’ve done some raucous material in your career too, but you’re known for acoustic and folk tinged songs. So to flip that, what’s the heaviest loudest band you’re into, whether it’s Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin or whoever?

I very often stood in the middle of Stephen Stills and Neil Young playing guitar together, against each other and for each other, you know. And that gets pretty f---ing loud.

There’ve been some archival releases from your various projects in recent years – the “Over The Years” (solo) compilation, the “Déjà Vu” (CSNY) boxset. Are there others coming up soon?

There are two things. One of them, me and Crosby have sung with some really great people, you know, like Carole King and James Taylor and Jackson Browne and Joni and stuff. Paul Simon. And there’s a great record of me and David singing the backgrounds on all these great songs. And also, our friend Joel Bernstein, who is our archivist and Neil’s archivist and Joni’s archivist, is working on CSNY from 1969. Stuff that has never been released.

Not long ago I was in a record store and a younger person in their 20s was talking about loving the debut Crosby, Stills and Nash album. Why do you think that album is ageless? Young people seem to keep finding it.

I think basically because the music is good. The Hollies and The Birds and Buffalo Springfield were pretty good harmony bands, but CSN and CSNY is totally different. And we’re four strong writers and four strong singers and I think that carries on.

I love your song “Pre-Road Downs” on that first CSN record. A great “road song,” if you will.

There’s only one other person singing with us on that entire record, and it happens to be on that track.

And who’s that?

Cass Elliott (from The Mamas & the Papas).

You’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Once with CSN and later with The Hollies. Which meant more to you?

With The Hollies. I kind of knew that CSN would eventually get in – we were incredibly popular, with some really fine albums. But it was 25 years and The Hollies still had not been inducted. And then when we were, I was most happy about that, particularly for my friend (and Hollies bandmate) Alan Clarke, whom I’m making a record with right now.

Do you have a guitar or a piano that you’ve held on to the longest, that you’ve pulled the most songs out of?

My original Epiphone, I sprayed it black and I wrote “Teach Your Children” and “Marrakesh Express” and “Simple Man” and stuff on there. Unfortunately, I can’t find it - it’s missing, somewhere. It’s quite upsetting really, but that’s the oldest guitar I have.

Your upcoming show here in Huntsville, Alabama is only about an hour away from Muscle Shoals. Back in the ‘60s, how much were you listening to and aware of the R&B and soul coming about of Muscle Shoals?

Sure, yeah, we learned how to play all that. That was one of the things that was amazing to us. The Hollies we would get records that were brought back by merchants at sea - someone’s cousin or uncle is in the navy and going to America and bringing records back. And we’d be playing and singing those ‘60s songs, just really great stuff and we loved it. And what we couldn’t understand is how we could sing it and sell it back to you . That was amazing.

I was looking at some pictures from your photography book, “A Life In Focus.” These really intimate and stirring images of these musically powerful people, like Crosby and like Joni. Do you still travel with a camera when on tour?

Absolutely.

What kind of photos do you shot when on the road?

I can tell you what I don’t shoot. I don’t shoot sunsets. I don’t shoot landscapes. I don’t shoot pictures that match my couch, and I’m not shooting pictures of kittens with balls of wool. I’m looking at completely surreal moments that happened in front of me that I have to have the courage to press the trigger.

Last question: Crosby, Stills and Nash and CSNY have been on and off several times, but both those bands have a long together. Whereas a lot of other major supergroups, like Blind Faith in the ‘60s or even certain bands more recently, had pretty short runs. Why were your supergroups able to have longer runs together?

I think we really care about the music. It’s got to be important to us. We have to be saying something that’s important to say and to share. And that’s what we do. It’s quite simple, really.

Graham Nash on longevity, ‘new’ album with David Crosby, and smoking pot at 80: ‘It doesn’t affect my voice’

The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, now on tour, has several albums set for release next year, including one with Crosby and another with Hollies’ co-founder Allan Clarke

Graham Nash was 25 when he wrote his classic 1968 song, “Teach Your Children.” He recorded it a year later with the then-budding supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, which teamed him with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young.

Had anyone told Nash then that he would still be recording albums and doing concert tours in 2022, at the age of 80, how would he have responded?

“I would probably have laughed and then smoked another joint!” said the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, who performs Saturday, Oct. 15, at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay.

“Just think about it,” he continued. “Most people who are 25 now think somebody who is 80 is probably dead already. So, why would I have thought of (being) 80? No way! It just happened.”

Nash rose to stardom in his native England in the 1960s as a member of the Manchester band The Hollies. He achieved international fame after moving to Los Angeles in 1968 and co-founding Crosby, Stills & Nash, which soon expanded with the addition of Young.

That he is now on the road performing songs by all three groups, along with such Nash solo songs as “Chicago” and “Military Madness,” is a source of pride to him. It is also something that makes him chuckle in disbelief.

“Even at 80, I am singing better than I ever have, and I mean that sincerely,” he said, speaking by phone from Tacoma, Wash.. “I’m not a man to brag. But when you reach this age — ha-ha! — am I supposed to be doing this well?”

Make that doing well, with a recent caveat. Nash noted that he had to cancel the Sept. 29 opening date of his fall concert tour.

“I’m actually in a lot of pain,” he said. “I fell (Sept. 27) in New York City and spent five hours in the ER. Fortunately, I have not broken my hip, but I have internal bruising, which is incredibly painful. I had to cancel my show last night in Tacoma so I would feel better. But I’m still in a lot of pain.”

(Nash subsequently performed some of the initial dates on his fall tour while seated in a wheelchair. On Oct. 13, six days after this article was published, he cancelled the tour’s 11 remaining concerts citing “a COVID outbreak in the touring party.”)

Nash is not the only graying music star who launched his career half a century or more ago and is still performing.

This year has seen concert tours by former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who are 80 and 82 respectively, and by the Rolling Stones, whose best-known members, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, are 79 and 78. (Starr postponed several performances earlier this week after contracting COVID-19.)

Others who hit the road in 2022 include Willie Nelson, 89, Buddy Guy, 86, Mavis Staples, 83, Smokey Robinson, 82, Boz Scaggs, 78, and Blondie, whose lead singer, Debbie Harry, is 77.

“I saw (classical guitar giant) Andres Segovia perform at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, when he was 92, and he killed me!” Nash said.

“The Ink Spots were still touring when they were all in their 70s and 80s. I mean, why not? Was it Mick Jagger who said: ‘You can’t trust anybody over 30?’ I wonder what he thinks about that now.”

With the clock ticking, Nash is keeping as busy as ever.

In March, he released a live double-album. Recorded at several concerts in 2019, it features him and a seven-piece band performing his first two solo albums, 1971’s “Songs for Beginners” and 1973’s “Wild Tales,” in their entirety.

The live album followed last November’s publication of his latest book, “A Life in Focus: The Photography of Graham Nash.” His previous book of photos, “Eye to Eye,” came out in 2004.

Nash’s next solo album is due in the spring. He is also featured on every number on the upcoming new album by Allan Clarke.

“Allan is my oldest friend, and I’m honored, of course, to be on his album,” he said.

“We’re both 80. I met him when I was 6. We started The Hollies in 1962, and he’s the voice behind (such Hollies’ hits) as ‘The Air That I Breathe’ and ‘Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.’ Allan sent me a couple of tracks, and I added my vocals in my home studio in New York. Now, I’m on the entire album and very proud to be.”

In harmony with David Crosby

Nash is also looking forward to the release of a new archival compilation album that he curated. It features him and David Crosby singing vocal harmonies on songs with a bevy of their famous musical pals.

“That really is a great album, and I hope it comes out soon,” Nash said.

“It starts with us singing on (Stephen Stills’ 1970 solo hit) ‘Love the One You’re With,’ then on Jackson Browne’s (1972 hit) ‘Doctor My Eyes’ and James Taylor’s (1975 hit) ‘Mexico.’ It finishes off with me and David singing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’ with Carole King (in 1993) at the Universal Amphitheatre (in Los Angeles).”

Does this album have a title?

“I don’t know. ‘Harmony’? “ Nash replied, with no apparent hint of irony.

He and Crosby have been engaged in an intensely acrimonious battle of words since Crosby, Stills & Nash imploded in 2015.

The two have since had scathing exchanges, largely via the media. In a 2018 Union-Tribune interview, Nash declared: “Crosby, Stills & Nash will never play another note together,” then added: “I just don’t like Crosby. I can’t make music with him. It’s done. It’s over.”

Graham Nash, happy to be on solo tour, says: ‘Crosby, Stills & Nash will never play another note together’

If any music fans are still hoping for a possible reunion by famously estranged Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills, Nash has a friendly suggestion.

Oct. 10, 2018

Does Nash’s upcoming new/old compilation album with Crosby mark a reunion of sorts for the long-estranged bandmates?

“No,” Nash said. “This record has been in the works for about five years. I put it together, compiled it and made a great album cover for it. I think anyone who hears it will say: ‘Holy s--t, this really is a great record!’ ”

Does listening to him and former best friend Crosby harmonizing in their prime make Nash wistful that they no longer speak, let alone sing, together?

“The truth is, I do miss David,” Nash replied. “I think he’s really a great musician, totally unique, and we made a lot of really good music together in our lives.

“But, as with brothers, sometimes you argue and that (can wreck) your relationship. That’s what happened to David and me. But look at the music we made together.”

Wasted on the way

What Nash and Crosby continue to share, besides their musical legacy, is their long-avowed affinity for smoking pot.

“I do smoke pot, and it doesn’t affect my voice at all,” Nash said.

“I mean, listen to my new live album. I’ve been stoned at every show I’ve done for the past 50 or 60 years.”

Along with Santana and Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young was the only band to perform in 1969 at both the Woodstock festival and the daylong Altamont concert.

Woodstock embodied the peace-and-love ethos that blossomed in the second half of the 1960s. Altamont — held barely four months later and marred by violence and death — seemed to signal the abrupt end of that era.

But no matter. Nash, 53 years later, still embraces the hippie ideals he espoused back then.

“I was a hippie, absolutely,” he said. “And I still believe that love is better than hate, peace is better than war, we have to take care of each other and you have to try your best. I still believe all that hippie s--t.”

Before Crosby, Still & Nash formed, Crosby co-founded the pioneering folk-rock band The Byrds in 1964. He was fired in 1967 by fellow Byrds Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman.

In 2018, McGuinn and Hillman toured without Crosby to perform songs The Byrds had recorded during, and after, Crosby’s tenure in the band. Could Nash envision himself, Stills and Young touring without Crosby?

“I don’t think so,” he replied.

“I mean, yeah, of course we could, because Stephen, Neil and I are fine musicians. But it would appear to people that, well, Crosby would be terribly missed.

“Let’s get real here. It’s Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. We could make music together, without David, but it would have nowhere near the power of the four of us together.”

With or without Crosby, Stills and Young, does Nash feel a sense of urgency to be as active as possible?

When that question was posed to him in his 2017 Union-Tribune interview, he replied: “Of course. I’ll never finish all I’ve got on my mind to do. And I feel a tremendous urgency to get it done before I croak.”

Does he still feel that way now?

“No,” Nash said. “I feel relatively healthy. I eat well. I exercise. I take care of myself. I’d love to play the Royal Albert Hall (in London) when I’m 85.”

A Crosby, Stills & Nash Tribute Show Is Set for New York This Spring

By David Browne

David Browne

More than a year after the death of David Crosby , the music he made with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash will be saluted in a tribute concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall this spring.

Set for May 13, the show — simply titled “The Music of Crosby, Stills and Nash” — will present interpretations of both group and solo songs by an eclectic lineup, including genre-fluid singer Yola; classic rock visionary Todd Rundgren; singer-songwriters Shawn Colvin, Rickie Lee Jones, and Aoife O’Donovan; indie rockers Iron & Wine and Real Estate; and jam-rock vanguard Grace Potter.

“We didn’t want every artist to be from that era or be colleagues,” says City Winery founder Michael Dorf, whose MDP (Michael Dorf Presents) company is producing the show. “Those harmonies are so much in our collective subconscious. So we were also thinking of new artists or other voices who can interpret the songs so you can hear the lyrics in a different and more profound way.”

O.J. Simpson Executor Clarifies Stance on Goldmans Receiving Money From Estate

Supreme court justices compare bribes to taking a teacher to cheesecake factory, trump and his team are already lying about what happened in court, trump reportedly nods off while attending first day of criminal trial, editor’s picks, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Given that one of the previous tribute shows saluted Neil Young (2011, featuring Smith, the Roots, Aaron Neville, Jakob Dylan, and J Mascis), Dorf says the decision was made to intentionally focus on the original trio. (Young was only added to the band’s lineup after the release of 1969’s Crosby, Stills & Nash .) Dorf, who recalls seeing CSN at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin in 1982, says the tribute was in the works before Crosby’s passing. “This has been kicking around for a while,” he says, adding jokingly, “I’ve been bugging Graham Nash for five or six years to do it.”

Nash is currently slated to participate in the show. As for Stills and Young, Dorf says his team has reached out to the former and holds out some hope that the latter would consider joining in. “Bruce Springsteen and David Byrne played at their tributes, and R.E.M.’s last show in New York was at theirs, when they came out for the encore,” he says. “Neil doesn’t do these things very often and has his own charities. But we try to get the artists involved.”

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: the 10 best songs

The 10 songs you need to know by folk rock supergroups Crosby, Stills & Nash and Crosby, Stills & Nash & Young

Darlings of the post- Woodstock nation, the superstar line-up of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash (and later Neil Young ) brought together ex-members of Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds and The Hollies. 

Dubbed The ‘American Beatles ’, CSNY’s songs told tales of past lovers, political unrest and a rocky road ahead - often while battling inter-band discord in their quest for pure vocal harmony. 

Here are 10 of their best songs.

10) Long Time Gone (1969)

Written as a reaction to the assassination of Bobby Kennedy in 1968, this moody David Crosby song on Crosby, Stills & Nash’s debut album was a warning of darker days ahead. The chorus refrain, ‘It appears to be a long time before the dawn’, echoes the foreboding atmosphere. With the tragedies at Altamont and Kent State ahead, it was not too far off the mark.

9) Déjà Vu (1970)

The title track of their second album – their first with Neil Young – opens in jazzy 4/4 time before moving into a dreamlike tempo befitting the lyrical content. Crosby delves into a past life, reflecting ‘I feel like I’ve been here before’ . The song inspired them to appear in retro Civil War garb for the album’s cover shoot.

8) Teach Your Children (1970)

One of a handful of songs Nash bought with him from the latter days of The Hollies. Frame-worked by the steel guitar of guest player Jerry Garcia, Nash’s plea for youthful understanding touched the post-Woodstock generation. CSN&Y, and their audience, were growing up. Inspiration for the song came from Nash viewing a photograph by Diane Arbus titled Child With Toy Hand Grenade In Central Park .

7) Helpless (1970)

The addition of Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young in mid-1969 added an extra creative dynamic to the band. Originally recorded with Young’s Crazy Horse, the country-tinged lilt of Helpless was one of the highlights of CSN&Y’s Déjà Vu . Meanwhile, Young’s own solo career was about to take off big time with the After The Goldrush album.

6) Our House (1970)

This ode to domestic contentment was written by Nash during the time he lived with Joni Mitchell in Laurel Canyon. The song’s spiralling melody is a perfect foundation for them to layer on the harmonies and counter harmonies. It’s one of their most durable songs and you’ll often hear it in TV ads and film soundtracks.

5) Marrakesh Express (1969)

Another Hollies remnant of Nash’s that would find a home on their self-titled debut album, Marrakesh Express captures a bright and breezy spirit of adventure, driven along by a Hammond organ played by Stills. Nash derived the idea for the song on a 1966 vacation that saw him travel by train from Casablanca to Marrakesh.

4) Carry On (1970)

Here Stephen Stills brings elements of three different songs into one concise package. He draws on Questions from his old band Buffalo Springfield, plus there’s a jam session with drummer Dallas Taylor tagged on as a delightful free-form coda. And, of course, the yearning harmonies are to die for.

3) Wooden Ships (1969)

Co-written by Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner (their version appears on the Airplane’s Volunteers album), this captivating tale of survival in a nuclear holocaust is wrapped around an arrangement that mirrors the ominous undertones of the subject matter. Both Jefferson Airplane and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young performed the song in their respective sets at Woodstock Festival.

2) Ohio (1970)

Composed by Neil Young in pained reaction to the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, Ohio was rush-released as a single, scoring them a Billboard Top 20 hit. Its hard-hitting lyrical message was in sharp contrast to the peace-and-love vibes of the Woodstock era. Crosby’s fear and loathing is plainly evident during the fade as he bellows ‘Four, why? Why did they die? How many more?’ .

1) Suite Judy Blue Eyes (1969)

Another deft amalgamation - as the title implies, this is a suite of four short songs written by Stills and seamlessly interwoven. Lyrically it refers to his relationship with folk singer-songwriter Judy Collins. Opening with glistening acoustic guitars, it builds to a searing, Latin-flavoured climax, ending on a repeated ‘doo-doo-doo-da-doo’ refrain of life-affirming joy.

What hits did Crosby, Stills and Nash have?

Crosby, Stills and Nash wrote enough hits (or at least firm fan favourites) to fill a compilation album – check out Greatest Hits which was released in 2005 through Rhino – but had a number of top 30 singles in the early part of their career: their first single,   Marrakesh Express (1969), peaked at 28 in the US charts and 17 in the UK. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes , Woodstock , Teach Your Children , Ohio , and Just a Song Before I Go were all hit singles in the US. 

What is Crosby, Stills and Nash's most famous song?

 Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and Just a Song Before I Go are two of of Crosby, Stills and Nash's most recognisable songs. The former was taken from their 1969 self-titled debut; this single was a tribute penned by Stephen Stills as a tribute to his former girlfriend, folk singer Judy Collins. It reached number 21 in the Billboard Hot 100 and fared even better in Canada, where it placed at number 11. 1977 single Just a Song Before I Go – from the album CSN – reached number 7 in the Billboard chart. Digitally, Spotify tells a different story. Helplessly Hoping – a song from their debut – has racked up over 112 million streams. 

Why did Crosby, Stills and Nash fall out?

Graham Nash says he will not consider any further Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young activity after falling out with David Crosby. In a 2022 interview with The Guardian , Nash says that he grew tired of Crosby's barbed comments about him online. “My patience, my love for him, it all just stopped,” he explained. "When he goes on social media, says I wasn’t his friend, and all I was in it for was the money, that’s fucking heartbreaking for me.”

Did Crosby Stills and Nash remove music from Spotify?

The band removed their music from Spotify in early 2022, in a show of solidarity with their bandmate Neil Young, who pulled his catalogue from the streaming service in protest of Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan's alleged misinformation on the coronavirus. 

The band issued a statement to NPR, which read: "David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Stephen Stills have requested that their labels remove their collective recordings from Spotify. In solidarity with their bandmate, Neil Young, and in support of stopping harmful misinformation about COVID, they have decided to remove their records from the streaming platform including the recordings of CSNY, CSN, and CN, as well as Crosby's and Stills' solo projects. Nash has already begun the process to take down his solo recordings. 

"We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify's Joe Rogan podcast," it continued. "While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don't want our music – or the music we made together – to be on the same platform."

Rogan later countered that he was not trying to promote misformation, but merely wanted to hear different perspectives on the deadly pandemic.

Crosby, Stills and Nash made their music available on Spotify again later that summer, with the band donating streaming royalties to charity for a month.

Dave Lewis is a freelance journalist and the editor and publisher of the Led Zeppelin magazine and website Tight But Loose , and author of several books on the band. Through the magazine and books, the Tight But Loose website and his Facebook page , Dave's objective remains to continue to inform, entertain and connect like minded Led Zeppelin fans new and old throughout the world – bringing them closer to the greatest rock music ever made.

"This was no mere warm-up; this was a declaration that Bruce Dickinson is still a force of nature in the metal universe." Iron Maiden's irrepressible frontman played his first solo show in over 20 years - and it was a triumph

Excellent compilation. We always loved CSN&Y individually, and collectively. As in any marriage, if it is important enough, you each find a way to forgive, take the blame, and move on, experiencing the thoughts that made you love each other in the first place!

How is it I’m still in love with the music they made 50+ years? ago? The answer is, just listen to it!

10 Best Crosby, Stills and Nash Songs to ‘Teach Your Children’

W hile Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN) songs didn't chart as singles (for example, "Ohio" was banned from many stations in the U.S. when it came out in 1970), their influence is nevertheless staggering today, as they are now staples in the American songbook.

If you haven't already, now's the perfect time to play some of these songs for future generations, starting with these 10...

10. Woodstock

Year released: 1970

Album:  Déjà Vu

Bottom Line: Woodstock

"Woodstock" is the only song on this not written by any members of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY). Joni Mitchell wrote it, and it appeared on her album "Ladies of the Canyon," but CSNY released it first. Their version is arguably the most well-known. 

Mitchell was dating Graham Nash at the time of the Woodstock Festival, which she didn't attend on the advice of her manager, as she was scheduled on the "Dick Cavett Show" soon after and didn't think she'd make it back to New York City in time. (CSNY played the festival and appeared with her on the show.)

Mitchell based the song on Nash's description of what it was like to be at Woodstock and later said , "I don't know if I would have written the song if I had gone. I was the fan that couldn't go, not the performing animal. So, it afforded me a different perspective."

Crosby agreed, saying she nailed the event's vibe. "She captured the feeling and importance of the Woodstock festival better than anyone who had actually been there."

9. Wooden Ships

Year released: 1969

Album: Crosby, Stills & Nash

Bottom Line: Wooden Ships

David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Jefferson Airplane's Paul Kantner wrote "Wooden Ships" at the  height of the Vietnam War  from the point of view of survivors attempting to escape a nuclear war's aftermath and create a new civilization. 

As the group travels, they eat "purple berries" — "Say, can I have some of your purple berries? Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, Haven't got sick once, Prob'ly keep us both alive" — which are iodine pills to stave off radiation sickness.

Those left behind aren't so lucky: "Horror grips us as we watch you die, All we can do is echo your anguished cries, Stare as all human feelings die, We are leaving, you don't need us."

After the song came out, fellow musician and friend of the band, Jackson Browne, asked Crosby what happened to the people left after the travelers embarked on their journey. Crosby callously responded, "Well, **** ’em."

It was an answer he later regretted. There is, however, a silver lining — Browne was so shocked by Crosby's comment that he penned his classic 1973 "For Everyman" in response.

8. Teach Your Children

Album: Déjà Vu

Bottom Line: Teach Your Children

Graham Nash wrote "Teach Your Children" for his former band, The Hollies, but they never ended up recording it because he never finished the song.

Nash, a photographer and collector of images, loaned his image of Diane Arbus' photo, "Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park," to a California gallery. The gallery placed it next to a photo of Alfred Krupp, a German arms magnate, who provided his country with arms during the two world wars. While looking at the photos next to each other Nash " realized right there that we had better start teaching our children better; otherwise, civilization was in jeopardy."

It was then that he was able to complete the song. Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead played pedal steel guitar on the song, in turn for vocal harmony help on the Dead's "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" albums.

Bottom Line: Ohio

In May 1970, images from a student protest at Ohio's Kent State rocked the world. Four students died during this demonstration against the Vietnam War when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on protestors.

After seeing the photos in Life magazine, Neil Young was moved to write "Ohio" in just a few hours. While Young takes the lead vocal on the track, it is Crosby's voice you hear at the end of the song singing, "Four!" "Why?" and "How many more?" According to Young, Crosby cried when the recording was finished. The lyric, "Tin soldiers and Nixon coming" was said by Crosby to be "the bravest thing I ever heard."

Nixon came out publicly against the song, and some radio stations banned it, but today, it is regarded as one of CSNY's best. 

6. Long Time Gone

Bottom line: long time gone.

"Long Time Gone" opens the "Woodstock" movie (the festival was CSNY's second-ever gig) and is one of Crosby's contributions to the band's self-titled debut LP. 

The late 1960s were indeed turbulent, and Crosby was simply demonstrating the frustration and disappointment of the chaos that was the time.

He said , " It was written the night Bobby Kennedy was killed. I believed in him because he said he wanted to make some positive changes in America, and he hadn’t been bought and sold like Johnson and Nixon — cats who made their deals years ago with the special interests in this country in order to gain power. I thought Bobby, like his brother, was a leader who had not made those deals. I was already angry about Jack Kennedy getting killed, and it boiled over into this song when they got his brother, too.”

5. Southern Cross

Year released: 1982

Album: Daylight Again

Bottom Line: Southern Cross

"Southern Cross" ushered the band into the MTV arena. It was a heavily rotated video on the channel in 1982. 

Written by Stephen Stills, it is based on another song released in 1975 called "Seven League Boots" by Rick and Michael Curtis. Stills took basic parts of the song and added lyrics and a new chorus to "polish it." He based it on a boat trip he took to clear his head after a divorce.

Crosby didn't sing on the song when it was recorded (he wasn't in the band at the time), but he's present in the video and has sung it live. 

4. Our House

Bottom line: our house.

This simple love song was written by Graham Nash and recalls the time he spent in a relationship with girlfriend Joni Mitchell. The couple lived together in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon. 

As he explained it, the song describes just an ordinary morning in the couple's lives: "On Ventura Boulevard in the Valley, there's a very famous deli called Art's Deli. And we'd been to breakfast there. We're going to get into Joni's car, and we pass an antique store. And we're looking in the window, and she saw a very beautiful vase that she wanted to buy. I persuaded her to buy this vase. It wasn't very expensive, and we took it home.

"It was a very grey, kind of sleety, drizzly L.A. morning. And we got to the house in Laurel Canyon, and I got through the front door and I said, 'You know what? I'll light a fire. Why don't you put some flowers in that vase that you just bought?' An hour later, 'Our House' was born, out of an incredibly ordinary moment that many, many people have experienced."

3. Almost Cut My Hair

Bottom line: almost cut my hair.

This Crosby-penned tune describes the dilemma of cutting one's hair and leaving the counterculture movement to join normal society. The song was one of a few of the era to popularize "letting your freak flag fly" by growing your hair long.

While Crosby called his lyrics "juvenile" later in life, he also said the song has a "certain emotional impact," as it was likely the most political song he ever wrote. And yes, at one point, he was faced with this decision.

2. Just a Song Before I Go

Year released: 1977

Bottom Line: Just a Song Before I Go

"Just a Song Before I Go" was written as the result of a bet between Graham Nash and his drug dealer who was taking Nash to the airport from his home in Hawaii. With 15 minutes to go on the drive, the man challenged Nash to write a song in that time for $100.

Nash composed it on the spot, and it peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard charts.

1. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

Album: Crosby, Stills & Nash 

Bottom Line: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

Stephen Stills wrote this song to win the heart of his former girlfriend, folksinger Judy Collins. The couple had dated for about two years, but things weren't working out. She left, but Stills gave their relationship one more college try with the song.

One night, in a Los Angeles hotel room, he sang the song to her. While she was blown away by it, she said, " Oh, Stephen, it’s such a beautiful song. But it’s not winning me back."

Nevertheless, the song went on to be a smash hit for the band and is one of their most well-known to this day.  Though the two went on to marry other people, they remained friends and even went out on tour together in 2022. She says , "Stephen and I managed, through all these years, to keep a friendship. Louis [her husband] and Stephen became best buddies [during the tour], which is the tops. Having a friendship that lasts 60 years is pretty awesome and pretty rare."
