they began the 70s as the top band in
the u.s and then abruptly broke apart
for 30 years they lived high and low
from adoring stadiums to jail cells from
wealth and luxury to near-death
experiences
but when times were dark the friendship
between these four complicated men shown
brightest until they surprised the whole
world by reuniting to tour in the year
2000
three decades after they walked away
david crosby stephen stills graham nash
and neil young are legends
this is their
[Applause]
to story all
[Music]
the first time i saw neil
i was going across canada on this tour
with this little folk group and
he was doing exactly what i wanted to do
when i got back was to get a great
rhythm section and play bug songs on an
electric guitar
every time you touch her we drove down
to los angeles in a 53 pontiac curse and
we're in traffic and i guess still saw
us so he ran up to us and got us and
pulled over
neil young teamed up with steven stills
in 1966 to form one of the greatest
california rock bands
buffalo springfield
there's something happening here
but what it is ain't exactly clear
the springfield found immediate success
but conflicts between the two stars
stills and young combined with young's
desire for a solo career caused tension
from the start
still said later that he wanted to be in
the beatles and neil wanted to be bob
dylan
the relationship was a bunch of 19 and
20 year old guys
just getting something together for the
first time
in the spotlight of you know
interviews and
and uh you know attention that they
never had before we lost the ability to
stay in the moment
you know which is what you have to do to
perform
young walked out on the group just
before the 1967 monterey pop festival
stephen asked david crosby of the birds
to fill in
neil had split
and stephen you know i knew each other
and liked each other and uh he said well
you want to eat
like i got we got to do this gig it's
going to be great it's going to be great
you got to do this
i said
yeah crosby was also performing at the
festival with the birds who were at the
height of their success
[Music]
crosby was having troubles with his
bandmates chris hillman and roger
mcguinn
troubles that were magnified by his
performing with buffalo springfield
i remember it being a very kind of
sour experience it was sad on stage
there was
the camaraderie that we'd had as a band
wasn't there anymore it was david
crosby's uh
wanting to be in what became crosby
stills and nash that really drove the
situation to an end there was some
friction there and
also i just i've never been you know the
the easiest person in the world i'm very
opinionated
very independent guys
they uh said you know we'd rather do it
without you i said well you're making a
terrific mistake you know
they said well we think we'll do better
without you
when buffalo springfield split for good
crosby and stills decided to team up
we sort of found ourselves spending a
lot of time together and driving around
and uh you know and singing songs and
basically me and claws were hanging out
and we went and saw
graham sing with the hollies and then
cass comes up and whispers to me do you
think you guys need to harmony singer
cass elliot of the mamas and the pop has
introduced david and steven to the
english pop star graham nash
graham had been a member of the holly
since the early 60s
but by 1968 he was beginning to feel the
limitations the group was putting on it
when i made the decision to leave the
holly's
three things had happened one i was
getting frustrated that i was writing
songs that i thought were pretty cool
and that they didn't want to record
secondly they wanted to do an entire
album of bob dylan songs in a kind of
las vegas
horn section
swing band kind of thing and the third
thing is that
i'd actually been befriended by this
teddy bear called david crosby
cass elliott said get in the car i want
you to meet somebody she rated my room
and told me to get him stoned on his
chest was a
lid from a shoe box
and in the lid was a pile of dough i had
this pullover pot
meaning if you smoked some and you were
going someplace you'd pull over and try
to remember where you were going
it was stung or weed so we laughed all
through the afternoon and i liked him a
lot
in the summer of 1968 crosby stills and
nash sang together for the first time at
a house in laurel canyon
belonging to either cass elliott or joni
mitchell
nobody is absolutely sure
now this is possibly because we might
have smoked one
but uh
no none of us is absolutely sure whether
it was jones or cats as i say it was
jones
st davis got it wrong it was at cass's
house
where we sang together in the morning
when he arrives we had you know i had a
pretty good harmony too and we sang it
to graham
anyway do that again would you
in the
morning the third time he put the top
part on
and steve and i looked at each other
anyway
before crosby stills and nash could make
their group official graham had to go
back to england to quit the hollies
david and steven joined him in london
we got to britain to rehearse
you know and there were like fans
that would spot us in a car and and
holler things at us because we were
blowing up more of their groups
all those horrible americans they didn't
know that it was that big a deal
oh just a band the trio rehearsed their
songs and started looking for label
interest
we did attempt at one point to get on
apple records it was a up and coming
new record label obviously
controlled by the beatles and peter
asher at the time we actually auditioned
for george and peter
and we sang it very well
and they passed
which i think they probably in hindsight
were not happy about
amit erdogan of atlantic records had
loved buffalo springfield and offered
the new group a contract crosby stills
and nash settled in los angeles to
record their first album
we knew that we were doing something
really unusual we knew the songs were
really good
and we were
totally thrilled and it was the year of
the guitar player you gotta understand
this was a year when clapton and hendrix
and jimmy page and people like that were
it
you know and uh for us to come out from
left field with this
you know three-part harmony
and a lot of acoustic stuff you know
it's a pretty unexpected thing it was
great
[Music]
almost
cut my hair
the music was wonderful but the dynamic
between the three strong personalities
was explosive and you've walked out two
days in a row yeah hypocrite i have my
own
weirdnesses and crazinesses but it it's
not as volatile as david and steven's
so
we settled into that role you know
david and stephen over the years i have
loved each other to death we disagree
about a lot of stuff but we're brothers
i love him he loves me
you know
and brothers fight
in may of 1969 the band released their
debut
sweet judy blue eyes and marrakesh
express were am hits
fm radio played the entire album the
music of crosby stills and nash became
the sound of the counter culture within
a few months david stephen and graham
would be more famous than they had ever
been with their previous bands
they had never performed live when an
offer came in to appear at a summer
music festival in upstate new york
crosby stills and nash said yes
their performance at woodstock would
change everything
[Music]
in the summer of 1969 crosby stills and
nash released their first album to
immense critical and commercial acclaim
then it was time for the group to tour
[Music]
stills had overdubbed lead guitar
keyboards and bass on the album they
would need other musicians to perform
the songs on stage
[Applause]
it was atlantic records president ahmed
erdogan who suggested steven's former
bandmate neil young would be the perfect
addition
i've been casting about for a keyboard
player i wanted another musician to play
off of but i'm talking it over with
ahmed one day and arnold says why don't
you get neal
[Music]
didn't we just go through this
stephen decided that ahmed was right
david and graham were not so sure
we had a interview with neil in
greenwich village on bleecker street and
i went to breakfast with neil because i
was the one that was mainly against it
because i didn't
i didn't see what we needed from neil
you know the blend that we had with our
voices was pretty good
and our musicianship was pretty good and
by the time i finished
breakfast with neil i would have given
him the world he was
unbelievably brilliant and of course i
loved his music
[Music]
songs
how are you not going to invite him in
you know
listen to the songs man
good lord
i'd ask him to join the group if i had
25 people in it
[Music]
neil had begun to establish himself as a
solo artist but the chance to team up
with his old buffalo springfield partner
was too tempting to resist
i thought it'd be cool to play with
steven again and the other guys were
great singers and had their own songs
and everything but i i really felt like
i had some unfinished stuff with stephen
and we play together and we you know we
needed to do more of that the band
officially changed its name to crosby
stills nash and young and went to
perform their first gig in chicago one
week later they had their second
performance at woodstock
looking at the world through the sunset
in your eyes
traveling the train through glimmer of
the skies
ducks and pigs and chickens this gig had
come up and it was kind of a shaky deal
nobody was sure what was going to happen
we just knew that some of our favorite
bands were going to play there
the big nervousness that that everybody
you know makes a point of you know when
steven
don't know just says hello
the point was that all the people that
we really cared about were all standing
right behind us
and uh
they had all heard the record but we'd
never played live before and so they
said okay
let's see can i do it
[Music]
i'm sorry
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
but when the camera's set up to shoot
the band's historic performance neil
young refused to be filmed
i was offended by the cameras all over
the place because it was a distraction
to what we were doing which was playing
the music so i told him not to do that
with me
that not to film me
don't bother you know
don't come near me and you know stay out
of the way
after woodstock the band's reputation
grew with every show they
[Music]
no respect performed the sanctuary the
dressing room look at them
within a month after their first gig
crosby stills nash and young were
superstars their performance in new
york's film maurice created such
pandemonium the crowds refused to leave
the venue
concert promoter bill graham began
stuffing money underneath the dressing
room doors until the band returned to
the stage
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
yes
[Applause]
[Music]
in september the group went to san
francisco to record an album but the
mood had changed
four and twenty years ago
come into this life
the song of a woman and a man who lived
in strife he was tired
[Music]
david suffered a huge loss when his
girlfriend christine hinton was killed
in a car accident
when i made deja vu i was very sad
my girlfriend
had just been killed
and a lot of the time i would come into
the studio and just
sit on the floor and cry
i wasn't
very together i'm amazed that we did as
good a work as we did
the band managed to finish their album
but it was a tough time to begin the
longest tour any of them had ever been
on
[Music]
was released in march of 1970 at the
same time the beatles broke up
csny were rock's new superstars
their singles woodstock our house and
teacher children were all over radio it
was a symbol of peace and love
except between themselves
well you know there was one time in
denver where we had some some trouble
about rehearsals or something and they
had booked the tour once again that
never really works for us because the
first day we were rehearsing when the
new bass player once we got to know the
guy and started playing with him it was
great so there was there was a big fight
around then we used to fight a lot sort
of like a hockey team you know the
puck's playing on the neil tells this
great metaphor but playing hockey the
team's really clicking and everything
and then all of a sudden the gloves are
up and they're all fighting and then
they pick them back up and they go back
to playing hockey again it's kind of
like that
in may of 1970 the band recorded what
would become their most profound
political statement a reaction to the
shooting of four kent state college
students at an anti-war rally
i was at this house in uh in a canyon on
the california coast crosby came up and
he had the magazine the kent state
killings cover on it
and i'd heard it on the news but crosby
always has a way of
bringing things into focus that's what
woke me up to
that there was something going on there
that i had some thoughts about he
started writing a song
and when it was done i called
nash i think and said get the studio get
any studio get it now
we're on our way
and we cut it and
it was out
[Applause]
ohio ratified csny's position as the
voice of the counterculture
[Music]
deja vu was selling in the millions
their concerts were rallies rock shows
political events
but neil was gearing up to restart his
solo career with his new album after the
gold rush
in july the csny tour ended and so did
the band
they were living legends
they had been together one year
[Music]
at the end of 1970 crosby stills nash
and young had become the biggest band in
america
then at the peak of their fame they
walked away
we got together at a certain point in
time and it had a huge effect on a lot
of people including ourselves
and then but we always plan from the
beginning to go off in the different
directions and do different things and
it just was a loose organization
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
by the time the live album four-way
street was released crosby stills nash
and young were all making solo records
when we started we used our own names
because we intended to continue with
solo careers
all of us
and every time we did it they say oh
they broke up
we were never together i thought that
was that was kind of cool to give
ourselves you know some air
and that's why we used all of our last
names if there was any plan
at all that was the only one
in the aftermath of csny all four had
hit solo hours
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
everybody
[Music]
while stills and young were leading
their own bands crosby and nash began
making music together as a duo david and
i knew that we had a musical link and we
always have and always will have there's
probably nobody currently that thinks
harmony the way nash and i do or can
[Music]
it was easy to make music with david
because we think so similarly
it was a joy we had great songs starting
with
the first gram nash david crosby record
young solo music propelled him to the
top of the charts
in time his association with crosby
stills and nash began to seem like a
brief side trip in what was always
essentially a solo career
all the people that i play with they all
know me that
that i'm moving along and that i may not
stay forever and i might be back
and you know as long as everybody knows
that from the beginning it's great to
see everybody and change is good for
music so real musicians understand that
they don't worry whether you're playing
with them this year or not
[Music]
the only one of us who's gone off on his
own have been really successful is neil
and he's done that brilliantly
in 1973 neal was on the road when he
called on david and graham to join him
after the tour the trio contacted steven
and they all ended up in hawaii
they began recording new songs going so
far as to shoot an album cover photo
but the reunion was not to be
when people planned things for us to do
thinking that oh what a great
opportunity sometimes it didn't work out
you know because it wasn't that we
weren't looking at life that way at that
time
the relationship between crosby stills
nash and neil is is very much like a
frozen pond
the ice gets a certain things and if you
wait long enough it will bear your
weight
but if you put too much weight on it
you'll go through
the four musicians scrapped the album
but agreed to tour
the demand for tickets was enormous
for the first time ever a rock group
would do an entire tour of football
stadiums
[Music]
[Music]
again the tour was a huge success when
it was over the group convened in los
angeles to make an album shortly after
the recording began neal disappeared
we started it we cut two tunes neil said
he'd show up the next day
never saw him again
everybody has to feel it at the same
time for it to really be what it is i
mean i think it's really great that that
people have
wanted csny to be together
over the years and i think that's a
testimony to what that it was worth it
when we did get together
but you have to want to after those
sessions fell apart the band members
went their separate ways move along
quick it furthers want to have somewhere
to go
[Music]
prejudice is slick when it's a word game
[Music]
a year later stephen was on tour with
his own band when neal showed up
after years as being part of buffalo
springfield and csny stephen and neal
began recording as stills and young
we make lots of room for each other and
we listen to each other and there's
little spheres of influences you know
and neil and i have a way of saying
things in three sentences that it might
can take him and david
all day to get to steven and neil have a
special chemistry the same way that
nationality
[Music]
steven's always wanted to work with neil
i think he always will
and i think that goes both ways
[Music]
after recording a few songs stills and
young invited crosby and nash down to
miami to join the sessions
once again talk of a csny album and tour
began
but david and graham had signed a deal
with abc records and had to finish an
album for them first
they left miami to finish the crosby
nash album wind on the water and in
their absence neil and steven erased
their vocals from the recorded tracks
david and graham were hurt and angry
neil and steven released long may you
run by the stills young band and went
out on the road we've been through
some
things together
it was a great record and then the tour
got going along pretty good and we were
moving so fast though there was no time
to rehearse up anything new so the set
never changed after a few weeks neil
quit the tour he left stephen a telegram
that said funny how some things that
start spontaneously end that way eat a
peach kneel
real sense of humor it certainly wasn't
i certainly knew him too well to let him
hurt my pieces
like that with a little bit of verbal
jousting i left the tour
in the middle of the tour
and uh there was something inherently
something was wrong something was wrong
with the whole thing
and uh and it wasn't working
the balance was off in some way so you
know i bailed on it
neil got frustrated and then he got sick
and he said well that's it i'm off
you know and he's uh you know he's got
more nerve than i i do i can't i can't
just bolt like that stephen was left
shaking
not only a neal left him holding the bag
on the rest of the still's young dates
but he had done what had seemed like
irreparable damage to his relationship
with david and graham
steven showed up at a crosby nash
concert and managed to patch things up
with david and graham
crosby stills and nash decided to pick
up where they left off after their first
album in 1969
as a trail
in 1976
they made csn
she has
seen the changes
it was a big hit
neil young was back to being a solo
artist crosby stills and nash were back
to being a group
it was a pretty good time i remember
recording the csn record in in criteria
studios in miami we had we rented this
villa we had great songs we were having
a great time
[Applause]
[Music]
just a song before i go was csn's
biggest hit ever the band was back on
top and exhilarated to be there but
david's drug use was escalating to
dangerous levels
i was just shifting in the bad habit
from snorting cocaine to freebasing
cocaine
which is even worse
and
i was in a very good place with my music
crossfit sales nash was doing uh the csn
album but by the end of the 70s graham
had had enough crosby nash recordings
session
[Music]
the band started a gem david was free
smoking
base
and
his pipe
was on an amp
and the jam session was so vibrant and
so hot that the amp was shaking and it
was slowly shaking the pipe towards the
edge of the amp
then the pipe fell off and shattered
onto the ground
and david stopped the music
dope had gotten more important to me
than music
something which i swore would never
happen in my life
and at that moment i knew that david was
in deep trouble and that if david was in
deep trouble we were all in deep trouble
when he stopped that jam from going
forward
a door shut in my mind that was the time
i told david that i couldn't make music
with him anymore
graham nash was david crosby's most
loyal friend and defender if david was
so far gone that even graham gave up on
him it looked everyone like crosby
stills and nash were gone for good
[Music]
in 1981 crosby stills and nash were
divided again
this time because of david crosby's drug
addiction
steven stills and graham nash decided to
record a duo album
basically
david was completely out of it
stephen and i had a lot of music to make
so we decided that we were going to make
music without david graham and i were
totally we're just going to make a
stills nash record it's the only
combination we haven't done can't blame
him man that was right near the end of
my drug use days and i was about as
dysfunctional as a human being could be
and not be dead we handed it into
atlantic records and they said no we
want a csn record
he said there is no crosby he's gone he
said well
we don't want the record so now we're
six hundred thousand dollars in a record
out of our own money
right
and i talked with stephen i said
what what should we do and then we had
to make room for dave you know and he
changed some things that i
really wish he hadn't and then there
were some other things that were there
were great additions it came out much
better than it should
[Music]
crosby was in bad shape but with his
friend's help he made it through the
sessions
the finished album included a song by
graham that documented how he felt about
the whole saga of crosby stills nash and
young
wasted on the way um i wrote
as a reaction to the amount of time that
me and david and steven and me and david
and steven and neal have wasted over the
years we have made a lot of good music
i'm not denying that but we have wasted
a lot of time we have wasted a lot of
love and we have wasted a lot of life
[Music]
the fact that i turned it into a hit
record is is
he's almost silly considering what it's
really about between 1982 and 1985 david
was arrested five times on various drug
and weapons related charges but his
habit persisted the trio toured on and
off whenever david was well enough
he always tried to be there 100
and he didn't always make it but i do
believe that the compensation factor of
me and stephen wanting to be stronger
and better because our partner was
hurting
equaled everything out to me in 1985
crosby stills and nash had a bittersweet
reunion with neil young at live aid
[Music]
in the
ground
there are a lot of times um
that i would rather not remember that's
that one wasn't the worst time there
were other times that were much worse
but you know there were a lot of times
when i did not do anywhere near what i'm
capable of doing
young tried to help crosby as others had
it was no use
he came out to my house in mill valley
and said listen man
i know you're kind of scared to go to
the hospital
[Music]
i should come down to my place
you can kick all this stuff there and he
took the time out to try and help save
my life
[Music]
you know
we all care about each other a lot
neal offered to do another csny album if
david managed to clean up
instead david went on the run from the
police ending up on his boat in florida
when he was on the
boat contemplating escaping
and therefore never coming back into
american society and being a fugitive at
large a federal fugitive
running out of food running out of money
the decision that he made to walk off
his boat
into the nearest fbi office was the
point at which david recognized that he
desperately desperately needed help in
december of 1985 david turned himself in
and was extradited to a texas prison i
prayed for him
[Music]
as much as i do
he got through it and then while facing
the inevitable and then he got through
it i don't want to be the recovery
poster boy
i'm on
i
i'm one of the lucky few
that you know was given a chance to get
away from it and did
and it took a year in prison and a hell
of a lot of meetings and a lot of help
from my friends in 1986 david emerged
from prison clean and sober
neo kept his word in the quartet regroup
to record american dream
as a gesture of friendship it was
wonderful but musically it was not the
triumphant reunion fans had waited 16
years to hear
[Music]
it was part of a bargain
that that we would get together if david
got straightened out i don't remember a
bit of it and i really rather not
discuss it we really didn't get together
we were just in the same area
it didn't work for some more reasons
than i can come
valiant effort didn't work
csny did not tour in support of american
dream
young went back to his solo career and
crosby stills and nash returned to the
road
[Music]
then in 1994 david was dealt another
terrible blow
i was very sick and i didn't know
i was dying and i didn't know
my liver was probably half gone we had
no idea why i kept wanting to lie down
at rest
crosby finally went to the hospital and
was told his liver was failing and that
he was probably going to die he'd need
all the luck in the world just to
survive
for crosby stills nash and young to ever
make music again
it would take a miracle
[Music]
in 1994 the future of crosby stills and
nash was endowed as david crosby's
health was in serious decline
and i went to ucla they sat me down he
said david what the deal is is you have
hepatitis c
and your liver is just about destroyed
and you're gonna die
unless you get a transplant
fairly soon
and he put me on the list
and we started to wait
david's friend stuck with him through
his ordeal with graham nash keeping
vigil at his bedside
the head of medicine at ucla called me
one day and said we found a liver for
david do you want to
we're going to prep him do you want to
come
i
wish him the best and i go to the door
and i turn around and i says now look
[Music]
don't you leave me with stills
and he burst out laughing and i burst
out laughing crosby's will to live
prevailed again
he made it through the operation got a
new liver and regained his health the
puzzling part isn't my descendant rise
the puzzling part is is the amazing good
luck that has happened and continues to
happen in my life
i am an incredibly fortunate man
when david was well enough crosby stills
and nash returned to the road
in 1997 they were inducted into the rock
and roll hall of fame
then they were dropped by atlantic
records
when we signed with atlantic records in
1969 we signed for six records and i
think we've only just done six records
and it's 30 years later the last couple
of records that outlandic put out of
ours i didn't think that they cared
about at all and so we wanted a clean
break and we wanted a fresh start i
don't think it's fair to blame just
that one record company they all went
through the same metamorphosis these
guys are lawyers and accountants
they haven't had a clue about music
crosby stills and nash decided that they
wanted to make new music with or without
a new record deal
in 1998 they put up their own money and
began recording
then stills got a call from neil young
who was working on a buffalo springfield
box set
the two old friends got together at
neil's ranch to listen to the tapes of
their first band basically we were
reliving our childhood and i played in
this new song that i was working on and
asked him if he would come down and help
david and graham and i uh you know cut
that i thought that was a cool idea so a
few weeks later i i went down there and
i actually didn't even call them i just
waited till i was well on my way down
there and then called them from a
roadhouse
young began recording with crosby stills
and nash and soon they had more than an
album's worth of material i don't know
this is not you guessing on the csn
record anymore
what are we doing
he said well
looks like we're heading into a csny
record doesn't it
all that i can see
[Music]
the third studio album by crosby stills
nation young was released in the fall of
1999. the group had made one album in
the 70s one in the 80s and one at the
end of the 90s
they called it looking forward
it speaks to everything that i'm feeling
i want to look forward i've done enough
explaining
what we did wrong in our middle years
and i'm looking forward to
how much fun we're going to have
rediscovering the joy of being together
csny agreed to tour for the first time
in 25 years but the dates were put on
hold when graham nash broke both of his
legs in a freak boating accident
i must tell you that as a musician this
was one of the strangest sounds i ever
heard when i broke my legs
and i thought
i've really hurt myself here
i did not think about the tour i didn't
think about anything graham had been
sailing with his family when a storm
came up he was thrown in the air by the
waves when he landed back in the boat he
shattered his legs
it was a two-hour journey back
after the accident on the boat to port
and the way that i dealt with it was i
chose to ignore everything below my
waist
i went in my mind to a great sunset and
my landing away with its waterfalls and
the beauty of it and the two hours
passed very quickly nash's recovery was
difficult but his spirit was strong and
carried him through
the year 2000 brought another medical
surprise from david crosby but this time
it was a happy one the man who came back
from near death by drugs in the 80s and
liver disease in the 90s was revealed to
be the secret birth father of the
children of singer melissa etheridge and
her partner julie seifert crosby told an
amazed world fatherhood is the wildest
ride i've ever been on and that's saying
something
crosby stills nash and young had beaten
the odds so many times it would be hard
to ever count them out again in spite of
all their battles all their talent and
all the temptations that came with
success in the long run the music they
made and the love between them was
always strong enough to bring them back
together
we are more compassionate with each
other we're more understanding of our
own weaknesses and strengths we are more
sensitive nashes is you know a gentleman
and i would have always put him at the
center of the group
[Music]
i think he's the central guy graham
he's really great in the studio and he
works really hard
to keep things going keep things
organized stephen explosive brilliant
you know
passionate
guitar player
musician singer writer
how can you compete with steven stills
he's a great musician you can't compete
you can't compete with neil neil's a
brilliant deep guy
but a huge creative force
and he changes the chemistry
me
i'm kind of a lunatic
i i can't categorize myself very well
david is uh
more
the soul of the catalyst and the
spiritual
level of things you know in some ways to
me and then steven
uh is just my bro i mean and i love to
play guitar with them between the three
of them they're just never gonna let me
down you know we're just different you
know we make lots of room for each other
and we listen to each other really
assiduously like we did when we first
started when we were kids i must tell
you that the feeling between the four of
us has never been better
[Applause]
[Music]

a reality
