RIP David Crosby

[Kathy]

So influential in the 60's music scene from the Byrds on. Deja Vu is still one of my all time favorites.
RIP another music icon from my middle school years.

I think you mean David Crosby. Neither were in the yardbirds. He was in the Byrds though

 

[Billy Jack]

Where are you seeing this?

RIP Neil Young. Loved him in Buffalo Wild Wings.

 

[Kathy]

You're right - was very distracted - I fixed it

In Kathy's defense, if you can remember the 60s, then you weren't there, man

 

[Jaydumo20]

For the record, no pun intended, Crosby's last few records (especially his last) were brilliant. One of the only legends of the 60s who stayed pretty much true to his style rarely cheesy. (Hey, even HERO with Phil Collins is great.)

Great musician but whacked in the head - took everything a step too far
Saw him many times with CSNY/CSN in concert and once as a guest appearance with Rita Coolidge outside of Bethel NY.
Sometimes he was on top of the game and other times Graham Nash looked like he was going to kill him because Crosby was "off" his game.
At least Jerry could perform without his feet touching the ground.
If I Could Only Remember My Name is a classic album
RIP David Crosby

He was a massive bellend, I loved him for that.

As long as Stephen Stills is still kicking I'm happy, he was always my favorite.

 

[Jaydumo20]

@superjohn Stills is my all time musical idol. They all are really. That first Manassas record is still my top 5

Move in day freshman year in a jungle ‘93. My roommate, who I had just met, had 4 Way Street blasting. First time I had ever heard it. My all time favorite album since that day.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Thanks for the tunes. Kind of amazing he lived this long all things considered.

One of my favorites as well. That album was on the turntable frequently 3rd floor Wright late 70s. Deju Vu another favorite.

He's my favorite out of CSN/CSNY and one of my favorite artists ever. Awesome raspy soulful voice, awesome guitarist, awesome songwriter.

He's just awesome.

The Wilford Brimley of rock.

The Wilford Brimley of rock.

The picture and Crosby's response to the picture sums him up perfectly...

Great tenor voice which complemented the harmonies of the * Byrds and CSN and CSN & Y
A pain in the butt to work with and later apologized to his band mates for his sometimes insane behavior. He almost got the Byrds cancelled. from the Ed Sullivan Show because he got in a fight with the program director . Ed’s son in law .

Got to wonder what it was like for Stills and Nash to be between two perfectionists like Neil Young and David Crosby.

 

[alexd]

He almost cut his hair. But he never did. ;-)

For anybody that hasn't checked out the CSNY 1971 live album "Four Way Street". Please do. It's an overlooked gem.

Neil's solo on "Don't Let it Bring You Down" is by far the best version of his song that he ever recorded......As to David Crosby's passing, even in death not too many folks have many kind words to say about him.

This is a long song and we’re going to play it real slow tonight. Southern Man often played or requested by me at Wright B.
