Original subtitles

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
