Neil Young criticised for failing to back guitar string charity
2007 | December 19 | wenn.com

Neil Young has been criticised after refusing to support a new charity campaign. WearYourMusic.org founder and Relix magazine boss Steve Bernstein asked the star to donate guitar strings for a fundraising initiative - and was stunned when the rock star turned him down.

Bernstein plans to turn the donated strings into bracelets and sell them on auction website eBay.com - and hand the proceeds to charities of the stars' choice. Keith Richards, Slash and Pete Townshend are among the guitar greats who have sent Bernstein strings, and raised thousands of dollars for good causes.

Bernstein says, "Neil Young is the only person who has said no without giving a reason. Paul McCartney is already backing a different charity with bracelets, so he declined. "Young gave no reason. And I can't understand it, because it's so easy to just get his guitar tech to send in strings.
"He doesn't have to perform, and the proceeds would go to a charity of his choice."

New York fire officials delay Neil Young concert
2007 | December 14 | reuters.com

NEW YORK (Billboard) - A New York Fire Department investigation delayed the start of a Neil Young concert by almost 90 minutes on Wednesday, forcing about 3,300 confused fans to wait outside in a line stretching around the block.

Fire officials were checking that the 77-year-old United Palace Theatre was up to code. Young called it a "bull---t excuse," once he finally took the stage, but then joked, "unless I catch on fire or something."

His wife, Pegi, was supposed to open the show around 8 p.m., but since no one was allowed in until well after 9 p.m., it was decided that her performance would be scrapped.

Young is scheduled to play five additional nights at the converted movie theater, which is now owned by a church.

CSNY film in 2008
2007 | November 30 | in.reuters.com and hollywoodreporter.com

The Sundance Film Festival completed its lineup of world premiere and other feature films for 2008 highlighted by a closing night movie about CSNY. The festival, which was founded by actor Robert Redford as a showcase for movies made outside Hollywood, has become the premiere event for U.S. independent cinema and has built a strong reputation as a major event for foreign filmmakers.

This year's closing-night film will be the world premiere of Bernard Shakey's "CSNY Deja Vu," which looks at the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young reunion tour and the musicians' connection to its audience in political and musical terms. Bernard Who...?

Young has directed (or co-directed) a number of films using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, including "Journey Through the Past" (1973), "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979), "Human Highway" (1982), and "Greendale" (2003). Neil Young is credited as a co-writer on the project...

David Crosby Claims New Film as his own Biopic
2007 | November 23 | wenn.com

From pr-inside.com: Rocker DAVID CROSBY has adopted new film AUGUST RUSH as his biopic - even though the film, about a music prodigy looking for the parents who seemingly abandoned him at birth wasn't inspired by him.

Crosby was asked to consult on the film's soundtrack and, after reading the script, he realised the story echoed that of his own reunion with the son he never knew.

Screenwriter James Hart reveals, "He read the script and said, 'This was my story'."

Graham Nash appears in an streaming interview of NovaTunes
2007 | November 19 | 4waysite.com

Graham Nash appears in an streaming interview on the front page of the website novatunes.com The start up will be this next week if all goes well.

NovaTunes embraces a "Hear, Like, Buy" approach: users can hear each album in full and if they like it, they can buy and download it directly. Music fans can also join "artist networks" where musicians and their audience meet. They can discuss music, write reviews and recommend other NovaTunes artists they like. This type of "social network" is a great way to discover new music and new artists.

Graham Nash, who has joined the Board of Advisors of the company, is a firm supporter of the NovaTunes model: "The music industry is in dire straits and solutions are coming from companies like NovaTunes. The people at NovaTunes understand the internet and take advantage of it by creating a space for musicians to connect to their fans and to release new music instantly to them, wherever in the world they are. It's a fabulous business model and that's why I wanted to join in and help them and push them as far as they can go, because this is the future".

The company currently represents over 60 artists in the singer- songwriter and rock-genres, including established artists such as
Jackson Browne, Leon Russell, Graham Nash, Julia Fordham, Chris Hillman and developing artists like Joe Purdy, Meiko, Bow Thayer and Devon Allman's HoneyTribe. The NovaTunes roster spans all over the world from the US to the UK, from Australia to Brazil, appealing to music fans of all countries and age groups, catering specifically to adult music lovers (25-65). NovaTunes expects to release at least two new DPs each week. The company continues to look for great music from all over the world.

Neil Young to Appear on CNN's "American Morning"
2007 | November 18 | marketwire.com

Neil Young will be interviewed on CNN's "American Morning" on Monday, November 19th. Young, in the middle of a North American tour, went to Wichita, Kansas to meet with John Goodwin, who is converting Young's 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV convertible to run on biodiesel and electricity. Young and Goodwin describe the new fuel-efficient life of the car and how it holds exciting possibilities for the future.

Neil Young is directing a movie about the experience, including the drive from Northern California to Kansas to deliver the vehicle. Titled "Linc-Volt," the film is scheduled for a 2008 release. Once the conversion is complete, Young will drive the Lincoln from Wichita to Detroit for meetings with the auto industry, and then return to Kansas to retrace the route back to Northern California, raising awareness of the feasibility of hybrid-powered cars within the mainstream consciousness. He describes the Lincoln's new form and function as the embodiment of "classic Americana from then, meeting the Americana from now." The Linc-Volt is expected to achieve up to 100 miles per gallon on the highway.

"American Morning" airs on the CNN television network 6-9 a.m. EST. Neil Young's interview will also be featured on www.cnn.com.

Raitt, Browne & Nash Rerock Against Nukes
2007 | October 24 | eonline.com

Bonnie Raitt is once again giving the government something to talk about. 

The titian-haired songstress joined fellow rocker-activists Jackson Browne and Graham Nash in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to dissuade Congress from approving as much as $50 billion in federal loan guarantees for nuclear power plants.

On Monday night, Raitt, Browne and Nash were joined onstage by Hall, who's now a Democratic congressman from New York, during a private concert on Capitol Hill for members of the House and Senate who might consider X-ing the loan guarantee from the energy bill.

Raitt said Tuesday that she and her fellow concerned rock stars haven't ruled out staging another series of musical events to rally for the cause.

Astrid Young releases book about life with... Neil
2007 | October 20 | pagesbooks.ca

Neil's half-sister Astrid Young, is releasing a book about the life with Neil. 

In "Being Young," (Insomniac Press) Astrid Young, gives us an intimate portrait of the private man behind the public performer. Taking up where their father, journalist Scott Young, left off in his best-selling 1984 book "Neil and Me," Astrid offers a fresh perspective on a cultural icon. She explores the events and motivations that shaped their family, drove it apart, and eventually brought the Youngs back together as a close-knit brood. Being Young gives readers a privileged, insider's look at not only the man but the people and issues that are most dear to him. We see the rocker as a loving husband and father, as a sociopolitical activist, and most of all, as a survivor. 

Sharing the family gift for music, Astrid Young has toured solo, with her band Sacred Child, and as a backup singer for Neil Young & Crazy Horse. 

Next week she will discuss her life, career and her celebrity sibling with ethnomusicologist, Professor Rob Bowman.

Last year CPR's master drummer Stevie DiStanislao toured with none other than Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

From David Gilmour's Blog: "As one of the most pleasant of many surprises during David's tour was the fantastic drumming (and not to mention ever-cheerful personality) of Steve DiStanislao, who you have taken to your hearts, we thought you might appreciate an update on what Stevie has been up to since the tour ended. On behalf of everyone here, we'd like to wish Stevie the very best of luck with all that he does". 

On Gilmour's site, fans can choose their favorite "Stevie D" moment and this one ranks as the favorite one: "Without a doubt, my favorite "Stevie D" moment from the DVD is Stevie in his Robin Hood shirt."

"Nash and Crosby were superb Sunday night. Crosby looked great and sounded simply magnificent, blowing away the 2,000 or so fans in the baby boomer-dominated crowd with a strong, sure voice that didn’t sound tarnished by time, booze or drugs. Crosby looked healthy … having dropped 53 pounds … and was plenty feisty on Sunday night. Fans certainly noticed; their cheers were a mix of admiration and awe after Crosby sang the first verse to 'Long Time Gone'”.

Neil Young's Harvest tops list of 100 favourite Canadian albums

Neil Young's Harvest tops list of 100 favorite Canadian albums

Neil Young's classic disc "Harvest" tops a list of the 100 best Canadian albums, according to a new coffee-table book coming out Thursday.

Author and music lover Bob Mersereau polled nearly 600 musicians, critics, DJs and retailers to come up with a ranking of the country's best-loved discs for his book, "The Top 100 Canadian Albums" (Goose Lane Editions).

Joni Mitchell's "Blue" comes in at number 2, followed by Young's "After the Gold Rush." Rounding out the top five are the Band's "Music From Big Pink" and the Tragically Hip's "Fully Completely."

Crosby & Nash Pray For Peace - Updated
2007 | October 17 | washingtonpost.com

It was the coolest of church coffeehouses. 

"Thanks for coming to give peace a chance," David Crosby told the crowd of more than 2,500 at Washington National Cathedral, before he and Graham Nash launched into "Lay Me Down." 

With white hair and dark clothes, and flanked by pulpits, Nash looked a little like a singing televangelist. "I would like to congratulate Bishop John Chane for being brave enough to do this," he told the gathering. 

"These are desperate times, calling for desperate answers," Nash said. The first step to peace, he added, is dialogue. "I'm 65 years old. . . . My time is passing." He said his activism now is on behalf of his three children. 

There was a guitarist and a hand drummer. Crosby's son, James Raymond, played keyboards. Crosby and Nash sang "Jesus of Rio" and a new Nash song, a musical prayer titled "In Your Name." Then Crosby picked up a guitar and they sang the heavenly "Guinnevere." 

Browne and Nash performed a haunting version of "Crow on the Cradle" and were joined by Crosby for "Lives in the Balance." And many of the night's entertainers gathered for the finale, "Teach Your Children." 

The story behind the music: The Dalai Lama was speaking at Washington National Cathedral in 2003, when Chane looked down from the dais and recognized Nash and Crosby in the congregation. He invited them to his office after the event. A former professional musician himself, the bishop plays drums in a midlife-crisis band, the Chane Gang. Nash saw Chane's drum set in the office and the two began talking about the power of music.

Chris Matthews Riffs With Anti-war Rockers Crosby and Nash

Chris Matthews joined anti-war rockers David Crosby and Graham Nash as they pined for the good old days of Vietnam war era campus activism and hoped it would rise up again to oppose the "shameless liars" in the Bush administration. Invited on Monday night's "Hardball" to promote their appearance at a peace concert at the National Cathedral, Crosby and Nash riffed with the "Hardball" host about everything from the trashing of the Dixie Chicks and Bill Maher to how Big Oil has made "obsence" profits off the Iraq war. 

Crosby and Nash received such a friendly audience from Matthews that Nash actually sucked up to his host as he credited Matthews, along with Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, as the only ones who are really "asking the questions".

Musicians Petition Against Nuclear Power
2007 | October 15 | nukefree.org

Some powerful names are listed on a new petition asking Congress to stop bailing out the nuclear power industry. Musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Graham Nash have released a new YouTube video in which they speak about the pending energy bill that provides loans for nuclear power plants to get built. 

As they sing a rendition of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," they urge viewers to sign a petition demanding tax dollars not go towards benefiting the nuclear power industry. The trio of singers hopes to then deliver the petition to Congress on October 23rd, which is known as Lobby Day in Washington D.C. This isn't the first time the musicians have fought against nuclear power, they've been protesting it since the 1970's. Melissa Etheridge, Ben Harper, Patti Smith, Pearl Jam, Herbie Hancock and many other artists are also taking part in the petition.

The long-awaited return of "Long Time Gone"
2007 | October 6 | amazon.com

"LONG TIME GONE" was already published in 1988, but out of print for quite some time. The long-awaited reissue of LONG TIME GONE (aka “the first Crosby book”) is completely indexed with a new introduction by the authors.

The tell-all book, Long Time Gone, by David Crosby and Carl Gottlieb is an incredible view into one man's life, loves, women and drugs. It starts with David as a small boy growing up in the early fifties and takes you all the way through to current times. It delves deep into the lifestyles of the late sixties and early seventies and gives a candid view into the revolutions of those times. This book is a wonderful book not only for Crosby, Stills and Nash fans, but for all who are interested in getting a peek into lifestyles of rock and rollers.

Crosby & Nash Tour - Updated
2007 | October 4 | 4waysite.com

A CSNY fan kindly sent us a review that we would like to share with you.

By: Nicholas Dunn 
Date: 30 September 2007
Venue: Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
Location: Asheville, NC

At 8:02pm the house lights went dark and there they were. Two friends and tour companions going on 40 years now, Crosby & Nash. With a packed house of 2,500, Graham Nash announced "This is the first song of the tour" and excitedly began to sing "Military Madness." It seems as though the two haven't lost a step in the 40+ years they've have been performing music. Not one time in the 20 song performance did the two ever get out of key or off beat, like a fine wine Crosby & Nash seem to get better with age. 
Without the pressure of CSN or CSNY, Graham Nash proudly stated: "We can play whatever the hell we want on these tours" and to this effect the two of them meant it. On the stage, a pleasant happiness of the old companionship of the early 70s is still there, Crosby & Nash throwing jokes back and forth to one another and laughing between songs. Aside from the occasional fan yelling out to hear a Stephen Stills song, the two never seemed to flicker and would gladly play old favorites and the occasional new tune of the 2004 Crosby - Nash album. 
I must say and incredible first show, no Young, no Stills, but for the 2,500 in attendance Crosby & Nash were all that seem to matter. 
Pure magic.....

The attached set list was posted yesterday.

 

Neil Young third most underrated guitarist
2007 | October 3 | rollingstone.com

From Rolling Stone's "The Twenty-Five Most Underrated Guitarists": Statistics show that the average rock fan spends roughly 4.7 hours per year arguing over who’s the greatest guitarist of all time (see: Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time). 
We asked you who’s most criminally left out of those discussions — in other words, who are the most underrated guitarists ever? 

The top three:
1. Prince
2. Kurt Cobain
3. Neil Young

Here is the complete list and use your own judgment, but Jeff Pevar is so underrated that he can’t even make this list. 

Stephen Stills can be found in the Top 100.

Soon more about Jeff Pevar...

Crosby & Nash Tour - David Crosby and Graham Nash celebrate legacy 
2007 | October 2 | courier-journal.com

Last Sunday the Crosby & Nash tour began and we found the very first review.

The Courier Journal: "Their show Monday night at The Kentucky Center's Whitney Hall was a celebration of their music's legacy and of 40 years together. It was a vital, often beautiful performance marked by enduring songs and the friends' obvious pleasure at sharing a stage one more time."

Nash Looks Back With Extensive Boxed Set
2007 | October 1 | billboard.com

Looking back with an eye on the future is what Graham Nash has been up to these days. The rock veteran told Billboard.com he's putting the finishing touches on a 65-song career-retrospective box set, "Reflection," due in February.

"I've been remixing songs for my box set," says Nash, 65. "It starts in 1964 and ends in 2004. So it's the Hollies to the last record that David (Crosby) and I put out. And everything is in there. It's me solo, me with Crosby, me with Neil (Young), me with Stephen (Stills) and Neil, and me with Stephen, Neil and David."

He adds, "I had never actually listened to 65 pieces of my own music in a row. Why would I ever have the need to do that? But it was very interesting. I'm a pretty decent writer."

Among the material included in the box set will be unreleased tracks, as well as different versions or mixes of previously released songs.

Crosby's health - Updated

Poco drummer needs help
2007 | September 29 | poconut.com

Graham Nash has thoughtfully donated a prize to be won, along with several other name musicians, for this upcoming "auction" to raise funds to help pay for the medical care for original Poco drummer George Grantham.

You may know that George Grantham had a debilitating stroke while on stage in performance in (ironically enough) Springfield, Mass in the summer of 2004. George played on Neil Young's first solo album. 

Richie Furay along with Jim Messina, founded Poco after Buffalo Springfield disbanded.

Last week, Google was visited by Neil Young, who is touring the country in a soon-to-be converted 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV named Linc-Volt, spreading the word about plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and vehicle-to-grid technology. 

As part of the trip, Neil and his crew are filming a documentary of their travels and the folks they meet along the way.

Crosby, Stills & Nash will play an extra show on the upcoming Australian tour for Melbourne. 
The day after their winery show at A Day On The Green, CSN will perform at the Palais in St Kilda on December 9.

Third most covered artist of all time: Neil Young
2007 | September 17 | thrasherswheat.org

Neil Young is considered to be the third most covered artist of all time, at least as ranked by the article "Purple Words on a Grey Background: Four Decades of Neil Young Covers" by Phil Dellio in Stylus Magazine. Only The Beatles and Bob Dylan are ahead of Neil of other artists covering their songs.

The article does a pretty comprehensive job laying out artists that have covered the classics as well as the obscurities.

"Chrome Dreams II" - True 2007 studio version?
2007 | September 14 | thrasherswheat.org

There's been a fair amount of discussion about whether "Chrome Dreams II" is a true 2007 studio version or some hybrid 1988 version.

On first listen, it looks that this is all 2007. Although on second listen, it does seem that the background vocals are more in line with the 1988 era. Also, given that the lyrics are the same, it seems most likely this is a 1988 studio recording.

Crosby & Nash Pray For Peace 
2007 | September 7 | pollstar.com

Graham Nash and David Crosby (as well as Jackson Browne, Keb' Mo', Emily Saliers, John Hall and Krishna Das) will join a group of interfaith leaders for Pray for Peace. The October 16 event will take place at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The evening will consist of two parts: a prayer ceremony featuring multi-phonic Tibetan chanting followed by a benefit program of acoustic music and spiritual reflections.

Tickets go on sale September 7 through ticketmaster.com and at livenation.com.
Proceeds from the event benefit the International Campaign for Tibet and Washington National Cathedral's Center for Global Justice and Reconcilitation.

Pray for Peace began as a collaborative effort between Graham Nash and Bishop John Bryson Chane after the Dalai Lama visited Washington National Cathedral in 2003 to promote the concept of universal responsibility.
The pair vowed to make the event a reality when the Dalai Lama returned to the capital. The Nobel Peace Prize recipient will receive the Congressional Gold Medal October 17 from Congress for "his enduring and outstanding contributions to peace, non-violence, human rights and religious understanding."

"Chrome Dreams II" - Updated
2007 | September 6 | amazon.com and neilyoung.com

In the surest sign yet that Neil Young's decades-in-the-works "Archives" boxed set is nearing release, a bonus CD featuring a track from the project will be bundled with copies of his next studio effort, "Chrome Dreams II," due Oct. 16 via Reprise.

As previously reported, the first volume of "Archives," expected Feb.18, 2008, will also include the previously released concert sets "Live at the Fillmore East" and "Live at Massey Hall." The remainder will feature material cut with Young's early Canadian band the Squires,recordings from the period during which he lived in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and scores of previously unreleased studio tracks.

Young is expected to tour in October, but for now, his only confirmed dates are next weekend at Farm Aid in New York and his annual Bridge School Benefit, to be held outside San Francisco on Oct. 27-28.

"Chrome Dreams II"
2007 | August 29 | thrasherswheat.org and neilyoung.com

Over on NY Times (Neil Young Times) comes word of bonus CDs that will accompany Neil Young's "Chrome Dreams II". The bonus CDs will include a track from the Toronto 'Riverboat' performances in February 1968. The news confirms that 'The Riverboat' will be disc 1 of the Archives Performance Series and will be included in the Archives Volume 1.

It appears that selected retail outlets will each have a different track. So if you go to enough stores and purchase enough versions, you can conceivably put together your own 'The Riverboat' and not have to wait until 2008.

Neil Young plays new record 
2007 | August 17 | neilyoung.com

NY Times, August 16, 2007 -- Continuing a tradition that goes back to 1969, Neil Young played his latest recording for Reprise yesterday. The recording was played for about 100 people in Burbank. Produced by "The Volume Dealers," NY and Niko Bolas, the recording runs 60+ minutes and includes two giant songs that time in at 18:30 and 13:00, respectively. Drawing from three songs written previously, and 7 new songs, the latest Neil Young is a very diverse recording. A release date is unknown at this time. The title is Chrome Dreams II. Chrome Dreams is a legendary NY album from 1977 that had originally been scheduled for release but was shelved. The original cover for Chrome Dreams was created by Neil's long-time producer and friend, the late David Briggs. Unfortunately, all original documentation and art for this album was lost in a fire that destroyed Neil's Malibu home in early 1978. 
From a WEA schedule release sheet: "New cd Chrome Dream tentatively scheduled Oct. 16. Touring for 7 weeks beginning Oct. 13. Performing at Farm Aid Sept 9 & Bridge School Oct 27-28. To be determined date in 2008 cd & dvd archive set includes 8 cds, 3 dvds, & 160 page book in box packaging."

Greendale goes Graffic
2007 | August 6 | publishersweekly.com

It's been a CD, a concert/stage play, a film, a book and a DVD. Now comes word that Greendale will become a graphic novel -- a fancy name for a comic book.

According to Publishers Weekly, Vertigo Publishing executive editor Karen Berger said: "I met Neil about year ago. He approached us. He loves comics and he’s been following all the attention for graphic novels that’s going on. The book will reflect Young’s activist bent, much like the rest of his creative work. It’s his baby, and he’ll have a big hand in producing the book and promoting it later on."

Ghosts On The Road expanded and updated
2007 | July 17 | ghostsontheroad.co.uk

The first edition of Ghosts On The Road was published in 1996 and immediately became recognized as a valuable resource for Neil Young enthusiasts worldwide. The updated and revised edition now is published and contains additional chapters relating to the years 1996 through to 2006 together with considerable expansion of many previous chapters. Author Pete Long has spent a good deal of time revising particular sections of the book and his work on the Buffalo Springfield box set and an article in the NYAS magazine Broken Arrow regarding the Time Fades Away tour in 1973 bear testimony to the expansion.

Stephen Stills says... "Just Roll Tape"
2007 | June 5 | 4waysite.com

Rumor has it that the new Stills CD called "Just Roll tape" (from Rhino Records) will be available on July 10. It is a collection  that  features 12 Previously Unreleased Demos from Historic 1968 Session. "Just Roll tape" presents remastered versions of the 12 songs Stills recorded with engineer John Haney at Elektra Studios in New York City. An amazing glimpse into Stills’ songwriting genius, the recordings spotlight Stills’ instantly recognizable voice accompanied only by his acoustic guitar. The album includes the first recordings of future CSN hits “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” “Helplessly Hoping,” and “Wooden Ships.” 

Also included are early versions of songs that would emerge on Stills’ solo albums such as “Black Queen” from his 1970 self-titled debut along with “Change Partners” and “Know You’re Got To Run” from his 1971 follow-up. “So Begins The Task” appears here almost four years before it was recorded by Manassas, the legendary group Stills formed in 1972. As a bonus, the collection is bolstered by a track not recorded during the April 26 session — the first demo of fan favorite “Treetop Flyer,” which showcases Stills singing and playing dobro.

Again an interesting Interview - now  it's Joe Vitale's turn!

Despite playing drums for Crosby, Stills & Nash for thirty years, Joe Vitale remains the invisible man... 
In the classicrockrevisited.com interview Joe Vitale talks a lot about CSNY. An example:
Joe Vitale: "He [David Crosby] is a walking miracle. He had a liver transplant in 1994 and he is doing well. He is breaking all the odds. He is singing great these days. He gets tired after a long haul on the road but he is a hell of a trooper. He loves being in a band. He is still going strong even after all the brutal things his heath went through. He is singing very good right now. He has not lost any chops on his vocals. "
Right now  Joe Vitale is touring with Stills.

2007 | May 9 | theage.com.au

Michael Dwyer looks at a new wave of back-tracking Neil Young's career. The legendary Neil Young archives have been subject to intense speculation for decades. Their promise wove a tantalizing thread through Shakey, Jimmy McDonough's authorized biography of '02, which began with Young describing the nebulous restoration project with a characteristic lack of self-congratulation.
Neil Young: "I want people to know how f---in' terrible I was. How scared I was and how great I was. The real picture - that's what I'm looking for."

Graham Nash says David Crosby is doing much better
2007 | May 7 | therockradio.com

David Crosby was dealing with some health issues earlier this year, which caused two tours to be postponed, but he's doing much better now. That's the word from Graham Nash. 
The exact nature of Crosby's problems were never explained, but Nash told that it was a shoulder problem more common to pitchers and quarterbacks than rock stars: "It was a bone spur that was ripping into his rotator cuff and causing him a tremendous amount of pain. He wasn't able to sleep, he was taking pain killers, you know, just to deal with the pain, and even that situation worried David a lot, because he admits he's got an addictive personality, and he just didn't want to go down that road of being addicted to painkillers."

Crosby has since had surgery to deal with the issue, and Nash said his old friend is doing "remarkably well."

Now that he's better, the shows have been rescheduled. The U.S. dates for Crosby-Nash that were supposed to happen from mid-March to mid-April have been pushed back to October, while the Crosby, Stills & Nash gigs in Australia and New Zealand that would have run from February 17th to March 4th will now begin November 27th and run to December 15th.

Since forming in the 80's, this group's surf-scented harmonies and folk-pop sounds have garnered the respect of the music industry's most discerning critics. Venice is often compared to Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Eagles, and praised for their "seamless harmonies". David Crosby called VENICE "The best vocal group in the country and one of the best groups of any kind I have ever heard."

Stills reveals he's writing his Autobiography

The Stills tour has only just begun and we found another article with interesting news about Stills.
Stephen Stills: "It's a good time in my life to reflect. The only big problem I have, is the timeline. There are periods where I can't remember what happened, so I have to research myself. Graham doesn't remember the same stuff I do. David doesn't remember the same stuff I do. But I'm writing in my own hand, not ghosting. My 10th-grade English teacher, who told me I had a real talent for writing, would never forgive me." 

Stills expects his book project to take a while, as he's producing a few pages per day at the typewriter.

Story behind Stephen Stills' forthcoming CD...
2007 | April 20 | courierpostonline.com

The story behind Stephen Stills' forthcoming CD, "Stephen Stills: Just Roll Tape" sounds like something out of an episode of Antiques Road Show.
Stephen Stills: "It's from a session of demos that I did April 26, 1968. Basically I needed to get all the songs that I'd written for the first Crosby Stills & Nash album, and for my first solo album, down in some form or another. So I just walked in after a session I had done with Judy Collins, I think, and I bought (the time in) the studio after she was gone and said, "Just roll tape.'"

CSNY to attend Ertegun memorial in NY - Updated
2007 | April 18 | 4waysite.com

Yesterday rock icons such as Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Stevie Nicks, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young gathered at New York's Lincoln Center to pay tribute to the Atlantic Records chairman, who died December 14 at 83.
Jagger remembered his boss at Atlantic as "the wicked uncle with the wicked chuckle," saying he could never keep up with the dapper Turk. 

As one would expect, "Ahmet Ertegun: A Celebration" was largely a musical affair. Crosby, Stills & Nash took on the Beatles' "In My Life" before Neil Young joined them for "Helplessly Hoping" and Young coupled with Stephen Stills on "Mr. Soul".

Neil's "Massey Hall" # 6
2007 | March 24 | billboard.com

The second volume of Neil Young's long-promised, suddenly thriving Archives series "Live at Massey Hall", has debuted at # 6 on Billboard. It's been 12 years since that happened for Neil. 
"Live at Massey Hall" is also released as a two-disc set that contained a CD of the show and a DVD containing the same concert in high fidelity audio. 

Neil Young: "This is the album that should have come out between 'After The Gold Rush' and 'Harvest'. David Briggs, my producer, was adamant that this should be the record, but I was very excited about the takes we got on 'Harvest,' and wanted 'Harvest' out. David disagreed. As I listen to this today, I can see why".

While there, Stills revealed that David Crosby is doing well (as you could read on 4waysite.com a week ago) and is recovering from recent surgery on his shoulder.

Stills' Albums digitally remastered

We just said there is no information about a Stephen Stills box set, but three of his mid-70's albums for CBS will be digitally remastered, slip-cased and with extensive new notes by John Tobler. 
But - as far as we know - still no out-takes and demo versions.

Did you know Stephen Stills was the first musician who recorded digitally? He went into the studio in 1979 and cut an album with the then-revolutionary digital recording system. So his 1979 version of "Cherokee" was the first digitally recorded rock song.
