And now part two of the history of

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The gravy train that Crosby, Stills,

Nash & Young had created only just begun

and everybody involved wanted to make

sure that the gravy kept flowing. But

the band got stalled and crumbled amidst

a sea of money, fame, women, and

inflated egos. Stephen and I have been

sitting here for at least half an hour

because we were told that we were going

to play acoustic guitars right here.

Right.

So ask Stephen.

I guess it didn't say that it's about

the time that we've wasted acting like

idiots. I mean, when you're 23 years old

and they suddenly have all the money in

the world and all the attention in the

world thrust upon you, it can crack your

brains and I think that we all, three of

us, went through that period and we

wasted a lot of time doing it. It was so

much easier to walk off in a snit.

I'm not going to cop out an inch

to fear.

And you walked out two [ __ ] days in a

row, you [ __ ] hypocrite.

You pissed me off.

Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun

felt obliged to make a statement saying

the band is not breaking up when really

they had broken up. So what Atlantic did

in the meantime, since there was no

studio album to put out, is they issued

a double live album. Now they had

recorded lots of dates on the 1970 tour

and this got released in early 1971, 9

months after their last performance

together.

>> [music]

>> A man's [music] a man who looks a man

right between the [music and singing]

eyes.

But I don't really see.

Why can't we go home? [singing]

>> [music]

>> So it starts off real slow and then

whistles out all together.

>> [music]

>> Now those are some songs from the

acoustic part of this record. Now this

was split into really two halves,

acoustic and electric. I really like the

acoustic stuff. That's what I why I

played it for you. And to me it always

made it feel like it was intimate in

these huge arenas that they played in,

especially when they did their solo

sets. And uh

the other good thing about this album

that passed it over as a new new album

of new material is a lot of the material

on this album was stuff from their solo

albums or stuff they had yet to release.

So a lot of this felt like it was new

material.

The intimacy I spoke of

was really made more evident, I think,

with some of the the banter in between

songs and

they made it seem really informal. I

think that endeared them to the audience

in many cases.

Now one of the problems with this album

is it's not recorded very well. The

acoustic stuff is very quiet. It's not

that clear. And the electric stuff

sometimes it's just very noisy. And

unfortunately some of these tracks go on

way too long. So some people complain

about that. Uh but generally speaking

the critics love this record. They

thought this was better than their first

two albums, believe it or not. Okay, now

because there was no group anymore, that

freed up all the members to do solo

albums in '71. And Stephen Stills got

off to a very quick start late 1970 with

this album, Stephen Stills.

>> [music]

>> I'm not a jealous man.

I'm not a man. [music]

>> [singing]

>> Sit yourself down.

Take a look around.

>> [music]

>> Living in sorrow [singing] must be

for the other.

>> [music]

>> This album hit number three on the

charts, was a million seller, and it had

a hit single to boast, which was Love

the One You're With. So, Stills was

firing on all cylinders coming off the

last albums as the guy who could still

write some hits. Now, the other songs on

here all range range from, you know,

folk rock to blues to some ballads. Very

solid album.

Now, the photograph on here, you're

going to

Henry Diltz will be taking a lot of the

photos of these early '70s rock stars,

and this is another one of his

photographs in the snow. And Stills

insisted upon having this giraffe in

there. That was a a gift from Rita

Coolidge, and I think it makes the whole

photograph. Now, one of the other things

I just want to bring up here because

most of the album covers from the CSN

period going forward has this kind of

like a matte finish. It's a different

kind of album cover. It's not slick.

It's much more um

a little grittier, and it's a little

more down-to-earth. Like it's more

earthy is the way I put it with this

matte finish. And usually a little more

nature-type of photograph that's not a

glitzy Hollywood photograph. And that

became a style of uh these early '70s

rockers. The next solo album we have is

David Crosby, If I Could Only Remember

My Name. Now, this album came out uh

shortly after Stills' album. This also

went gold, hit number 12 on the charts,

and boasted a minor hit single, which is

Music Is Love. Now, that was a song with

Graham Nash and Neil Young on it. Now,

this album

actually was panned originally, but I

really like the album, and over the

years it's it's gained in prominence,

basically for its laid-back production.

Now, Crosby had a lot of help on this

album, namely from other musicians he

was hanging around at the time, the

Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra,

which featured the likes of Paul

Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Graham Nash,

Jerry Garcia, Jack Casady, Joni

Mitchell, Grace Slick, and Phil Lesh.

Now, as you can tell, this album

again, with this matte finish, very

close to photography. Eventually, this

album had a sticker on the top saying

who it was and the name of the album

because it's kind of hard to tell.

That's one of those things about rock

albums. Sometimes the record company is

trying to promote it better and you know

who it is if you put the name on the

cover. Well, they eventually did that to

this album. But, the album is really

kind of interesting cuz Crosby, who's

pictured more prominently on the back,

he uses a lot of his scat singing and he

does some a French song called Orleans

and a song called a tree a song with no

words a tree with no leaves. That's just

some scat singing but some beautiful

vocal arrangements and Nash joins in.

So, this album for vocal arrangements,

you'll get what I'm talking about when

you hear Crosby's treatment on this

album.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music and singing]

[music and singing]

>> Now, the momentum of the first CSN and

CSNY albums carried over to these solo

albums. This was another million seller.

Graham Nash's first album Songs for

Beginners hit number 15 on the charts.

And this is a really good record. I

mean,

most people I think consider him, you

know, he came out with those highly

songs like Marrakech Express

and it was a little more poppy, Our

House. This album is rather edgy. And I

think this is a really good effort by

Nash.

>> [music]

>> Now that you know it's nowhere.

>> [music]

>> Easy manipulations, who needs them?

>> [music]

[music]

[singing]

>> Next up we have Stephen Stills second

album second solo album called Stephen

Stills 2. So Stills was really cranking

out the songs. This is a fairly much a

carbon copy of the first solo album.

It's got another hit single on it and a

good smattering of different styles.

>> [music]

[singing]

[music]

[music and singing]

[singing]

[music]

>> This album also went gold hitting number

eight in the charts and by this time

with all the momentum

Neil Young's second album Everybody

Knows This Is Nowhere also went gold

during this period. So everything was

selling for these guys. All through 1971

the group and the counterculture in

general were under attack.

Now the solo careers were being viewed

with contempt and kind of as a microcosm

of where this hippie ideal had gone.

Kind of lost in a a barrage of

you know sex drugs rock and roll cocaine

and general hedonism. Now the press took

every opportunity to knock these guys

and one of the things that Neil Young

benefited from was he didn't have an

album that came out in 1971. He had

gotten hurt on his ranch and had which

required surgery. So he was working on

his next album but that got stalled till

the following year so he escaped the

wrath of the press.

Now we are in 1972 now and this is the

album that Neil Young was working on in

the prior year that he couldn't finish.

This is Harvest. Now, he dispensed with

Crazy Horse, who had backed him up on

the last two albums for the most part,

and he he formed a new band with the

rhythm section of Kenny Buttrey on drums

and Tim Drummond on bass. Now, Buttrey

was a long-time session guy, and these

guys were a little more nuanced than

Crazy Horse. Well, of course,

who isn't more nuanced than Crazy Horse?

But Neil Young was obviously going for a

little bit more of a commercial sound

here, and he got it.

>> [music]

[singing]

>> Heart of Gold was a surprise number one

hit, and that propelled this whole album

to go to number one. And with Neil Young

now being a superstar, this further

heightened the CSN&Y brand.

>> [music]

[singing and music]

[music]

[singing]

[music]

>> Old Man was another top 40 hit off of

this album, and The Needle and the

Damage Done was an example of a lot of

the rock stars that started to meet

their demise

via the drug world. Now, this album

employed the London Symphony Orchestra,

and Neil Young also did a lot of filming

of the sessions of this for later

archival work.

There you go. That's what yours should

be against Neil's. Words.

Words.

>> Right. Against that, you see?

>> Words. Words.

Oh, ah, [ __ ] it. Let's just sing it.

>> [music and singing]

>> Hello.

Singing [music]

words.

Words.

>> [singing]

>> Between [music]

the lines [singing] of age.

Now, one of the things that gets talked

about is the needle and the damage done.

And Danny Whitten, who

was in Crazy Horse, and he was brought

in to play guitar on this album. But he

was so messed up on heroin that Neil

Young sent him home.

Now, a day or so after he was sent home,

he died. And he didn't die of an

overdose of heroin, but he died of

Quaaludes and alcohol.

The combination of those two things, and

was found dead. So, often times this

it's thought that the song The Needle

and the Damage Done is about the death

of Whitten.

Whitten died after that song was

recorded, which was recorded live in

January of 1971.

Although Young was being surrounded with

some of these guys, like Whitten, they

were getting into heroin. So, no doubt

it was probably about people like Danny

Whitten.

Now, this album employed some different

musicians I had mentioned. And Neil

Young dubbed this band that played here

as the Stray Gators. Included Drummond

and Buttrey. Also Jack Nitzsche on

keyboards.

So, the other thing that he also

employed here were Crosby, Stills & Nash

on backing vocals on a couple tracks.

And it was very common through all of

these solo albums for everybody to guest

on each other's records. That's why it

always felt to me that a lot of these

were it felt like Crosby, Stills & Nash

& Young albums, at least in part. And

this is another example of that.

Now, like the other guys, this album was

also reviewed negatively. Rolling

Stone's Jon Landau called the album a

disappointing re-tread of earlier,

superior efforts by Young.

I love this album. I think this is a

great album. It was a huge hit. I mean,

I don't know why

uh it I think people just got used to

that rough edge Neil Young and that was

like authentic and maybe this was felt

by the critics to be less so. I don't

know. I I think it's got plenty of

cutting edge stuff on it and plenty of

edge to it. It just sounds a little

smoother, that's all. And I I appreciate

the instrumentation on here. So, I I

think it's a great album.

Now, Stephen Stills who out of the gate

as a solo artist, if you compare

everybody, he was the guy that had the

biggest hits. He had two big albums. He

had two hit singles. So, out of the

gate, he was the guy that was the most

successful solo guy. But with Harvest,

Neil Young, this was a number one album,

the only number one album of any of the

solo artists, I believe, and uh he

basically took over as the most visible

member of CSN&Y.

Okay, next album. So, Stills formed his

own band, kind of his own version of

Crazy Horse. This is Manassas.

Now, this band was formed out of a

bunch of guys. The main guy uh who was

kind of his partner on this album was

Chris Hillman from The Byrds.

Now, Stills and Hillman were always

tight and Stills always felt indebted to

Chris Hillman cuz Hillman's the guy that

got the Buffalo Springfield like a gig

at the Whisky a Go Go or something. So,

Stills was always

kind of tight with him.

And together they formed Manassas. And

he brought back Dallas Taylor, their

drummer, Fuzzy Samuel on bass. We got uh

Al Perkins on steel guitar and Paul

Harris on keyboards. And Harris was the

guy they originally wanted to bring on

on the first album as a band member, but

that didn't work out. Now, the guy on

here that I really like a lot that I

think makes this album is percussionist

Joe Lala. Now, Stills' background, he he

lived in Mexico for a while, but he

always has this He brings this Latin

flavor to a lot of his music and Lala's

percussion really brings that through

and really gives this album a lot of

depth.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Now, this album is a double album, so

lots of information on it that allows

Stills to do blues, to do folk, to do

ballads, to rock hard. So, this is

really considered a fine album. It's

like kind of like Stills' white album,

if you will. And all the players are

really solid on here. And when Fuzzy

Samuel on bass wasn't around,

Bill Wyman from the Stones plays on this

album. And Wyman enjoyed himself so much

that if he had been asked, he would have

quit the Stones and joined Manassas. And

one of the things I one of the reasons

for that, I believe, is he actually got

writing credit on one of the songs. Now,

Stills was an absolute workaholic during

this early '70s period, and he usually

works best when he's running his own

band. So, that worked great for

Manassas. He was also doing session

work. He did some work uh with Joni

Mitchell on the Blue album. He had also

played on her first album, so he was

always busy. Now, we have Graham Nash

and David Crosby looking at Stills and

Young with their bands, like, "Well,

what do we do?" Well, "Let's go on tour

together." So, they did, and they just

did a strip-down concert tour, which is

just them and their guitars, and maybe a

piano.

But, just those two guys. So, it's kind

of an unplugged kind of sound, and the

audience has loved it. So, during this

time they cut a song that was going to

be a single, which is the Joni Mitchell

song Urge for Going.

>> [music]

[singing]

[music and singing]

>> Unfortunately, Urge for Going was never

released, but they realized that they

had a good thing going here and they

released this album as a duo called

Graham Nash David Crosby. It's got a

gatefold here.

And this is an album I bought when I was

about 14 for 50 cents, the best 50 cents

I ever bought. This is an excellent

album. And still in this early 70s

period, all these guys are still

bringing that whole CSN&Y

sound across to their all of their solo

albums.

And what that means that there is an

edge, usually there's some political

stuff. Um

you know, it's just it's the best hippie

music I guess being made at the time,

although

I think the hippie movement was running

on fumes, but this album is really

solid. It is what it is, running [music]

for.

Where do I go

from here?

And the wall stretches [music]

[singing] endlessly beside you to

nowhere.

Land me in.

>> [music]

>> Immigration man.

You should

grab

a hold [music and singing]

of it.

As you find

it's best [music] you buy

on [singing] the southbound

train going [music]

down

all the time.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Further collaboration between members

was evident when Graham Nash and Neil

Young did this one-off anti-war single.

>> [music and singing]

[music]

>> War Song charted at number 61. So, that

was a pretty favorable showing for a

single that nobody remembers.

Anyway, let's move over to some of the

women that they were seeing at the time

and give you an update there. For

Crosby, he's now with Shelly Reker.

Stills, unfortunately, he was slapped

with a second paternity suit from

Harriet Tunis.

Stills claimed the child wasn't his. It

was.

And Nash had Rita Coolidge. That

experiment didn't work out. Coolidge

ended up leaving and marrying Kris

Kristofferson.

And then Neil Young had hooked up with

an actress Carrie Snodgrass who had

recently appeared in the film Diary. In

fact, a lot of the songs on the album

Harvest were written about her.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, even

though they weren't performing as a unit

anymore, were still hugely influential.

And all these new bands came out that

were kind of based on the CSNY sound in

this whole singer-songwriter

era that came out. Groups like America,

Seals and Crofts, the Doobie Brothers,

the Eagles, Jackson Browne, all these

groups were coming out and this sound

was all very polished and was basically

the new California sound.

Now, one of the other things that

happened about this time that coincided

with the success of these artists was

the formation of Asylum Records. So,

David Geffen and Elliot Roberts had been

up-and-comers and they had been working

for the William Morris Agency.

And that's where they learned about show

biz politics. So, they took the

knowledge from that and six were trying

to get an album deal for Jackson Browne

and nobody seemed interested. So they

went to Atlantic and Ahmet Ertegun said,

"Well, why don't you just form your own

label?" And Atlantic ended up ended up

putting up 50% of the capital for them

to start their label and they started

Asylum Records.

So let me give you a list of who

was on that roster very early on. We had

Jackson Browne, Carole King, James

Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash,

Warren Zevon, Joni Mitchell, J.D.

Souther, Jo Jo Gun, The Eagles, Tom

Waits, and Bob Dylan.

Not bad.

So the Asylum deal was basically that

since Atlantic put up half the money,

they get half the profits and then

Atlantic distributed the Asylum Records.

If Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young were

touring, they could make tons of money.

Individually, not so much. People wanted

the group. So one of the things that

came came up that Geffen and Roberts

thought about was trying to promote The

Byrds reunion album. So The Byrds they

were recording in 1972, disbanded. That

left Roger McGuinn holding the name of

the of the band The Byrds.

So this was ripe for a reunion of the

original five members.

So indeed they did this and there was

going to be an album and a tour. Well,

this is the album and despite the hype,

it didn't live up to the hype. And the

problem was is that most of the members

here, nobody really brought their A-list

material. This was being saved for their

own solo stuff. Everybody wanted to be a

superstar now. So this album suffers

because of that and it's rather boring

and it's there are some highlights to it

and you can hear about it in my

four-part series on The Byrds.

Now David Crosby was not working on

another solo album at this time, but he

was working in films a little bit or

trying to and there was a film that he

was working on that was going to star

guess who? David Crosby. Now this was

backed by Geffen and there was so much

money and so much momentum that talks of

rock stars being in films was actually a

legitimate idea and could actually

happen. Cuz as you know, rock stars all

wanted to be movie stars, movie stars

want to be rock stars. Well, here we

have that here with Crosby and some of

the guys in CSNY. And unfortunately, or

I should say maybe fortunately, this

never got off the ground cuz they

couldn't get the backing. Now, one of

the casualties of the Byrds reunion, I

believe, was Manassas. So, when when

Chris Hillman

was doing the Byrds reunion, Manassas

was recording and and playing live. So,

he cut a deal with Stills where he could

record with the Byrds during the week

and do tours with Manassas on the

weekend. Well,

that was one of the things that didn't

work so well. Stephen Stills was going

off the rails a bit. His typical way of

recording music was staying up for 2

days straight on cocaine and recording

48 hours in a row. And the members

couldn't quite keep up with that. The

Eber brothers who were helping to

produce this, they walked off the

project. And meanwhile, David Geffen and

was putting together another supergroup

that involved Chris Hillman. That was

Souther, Hillman, and Furey. This was

going to be the next big supergroup. So,

Hillman was already kind of looking down

the road on that. So, this album came

out nowhere near as good as the prior

album. Couple good tracks, but this was

essentially the end of the band.

>> [music]

[music]

[singing]

>> One other mentionable thing that helped

end Manassas was drummer Dallas Taylor's

heroin addiction. Now, heroin had

started to creep into the rock world.

Danny Whitten had already died. And of

our four horsemen here, you wouldn't

think Neil Young would be having some

major problems in this upcoming year of

1973 having just come off of the success

of Harvest. But, he ended up having a

very difficult tour trying to support

that album, and the death of Danny

Whitten set the tone for the whole tour.

With the mega success of the album

Harvest, Neil Young was going to get a

dose of what it's like to be a rock

star. And he started to put together the

tour for 1973. Now, this tour was going

to be really in two parts, one in the

first half of the year, one in the

second half of the year. And

since he sold so many copies and had a

number one song, he could book much

bigger venues. So, he started putting

his band together, which included the

guys from the album, Drummond on bass

and Buttrey on drums.

The problem was, right off the bat, is

Buttrey being doing a lot of session

work, he made a lot of money doing

sessions. He said, "Well, I'd like to be

paid in the amount that I would be

making if I was making doing session

work."

So, this was a lot more than Neil Young

had offered him, but he begrudgingly

paid it.

So, Jack Nitzsche, who was the keyboard

guy in the tour and on the album

Harvest, he suggested to Young, he's

like, "Hey, you got to pay the other

guys more as well. You can't have it be

lopsided."

So, Young did that, but he was bitter

about it.

Now, things started out very badly for

Neil Young at these larger venues. He

really struggled connecting with the

crowd.

And he started to get belligerent with

the fans, and some of whom were not

really appreciative of some of his new

stuff.

Now, it's often been told that this tour

he didn't play any stuff from Harvest.

Now, as I said, this tour was broken

into two halves. The first half of the

year,

roughly January through April, right in

there,

he did play Harvest songs, four or five

songs from the album each concert. So,

not a ton of songs, but a good a good

smattering of songs, including the

couple of hits.

One of the problems was is that Young

was drinking a lot of tequila. And not

only could he not handle some of the big

crowds, he could not handle tequila. Now

many of you, if you've had an experience

with tequila, it's a different kind of

alcohol and for some reason they were

drinking tequila on the tour and it was

not a good match for Neil Young, let's

put it that way.

It got to the point where Neil Young was

even drunk on stage on several occasions

and would mumble to the audience and

even berate them. And the audience was

this They were expecting this kind of

hippy hippy'd out hippy vibe of Harvest

and they got a bunch of songs shoved

down their throat that they they were

poorly played. So they were voicing

their opinion and Young was not dealing

with it very well.

And according to some of the players on

stage, that Young was playing some of

the worst guitar of his life.

Now part of the reason was I he had

switched to a Flying V guitar that would

not stay in tune. So I don't know why he

stuck with this guitar for so long, but

maybe he wanted to be out of tune, I

don't know. That's kind of Neil Young's

style. But um for whatever reason uh his

guitar playing was suffering. Now Jack

Nitzsche said everybody in the band was

bored and tired of Young overdramatizing

his facial expressions and they said the

band was laughing at him.

Now off stage Young apparently was out

of control, either high on cocaine or

drunk on tequila and he often would give

the band lectures after the shows. For

example, he would say, "Hey guys,

you know, we don't need to play them

just like we rehearsed them. I want a

little bit loosening up and to you know,

improvise a little bit." After which the

band would do that and then the next

night the lecture would be, "Hey guys,

you got to stick to the arrangements.

You just can't go off anywhere you

want." So the band was completely

frustrated with Neil and his direction.

Uh meanwhile Neil Young was staying on

the the nice hotel on the penthouse

level, everybody else is several floors

below. So he didn't fraternize at all

with the other guys, which was unlike

him in prior tours. So there was quite a

disconnect between him and his band.

Now, frustrated Neil Young ended up

firing Kenny Buttrey, the drummer,

saying that he wasn't playing loud

enough.

And Buttrey wasn't really a a full-time

live drummer anyway. He was a session

guy. His hands were bleeding. He was

trying to play so loud. So, he's

probably happy to be relieved of the

duties. And he was replaced by Johnny

Barbata.

So, one of the bad shows was in Oakland

where during the encore of Southern Man,

I think one of the a big burly cop was

trying to restrain a guy that was trying

to get to the stage cuz everybody rushed

the stage for Southern Man. And Neil

Young saw this cop kind of manhandling

this fan. And Neil Young stopped and was

kind of yelling at the cop. And Young

just walked off the stage. So, then the

whole band and the crew were there and

they were getting pelted by bottles and

they had to run for their lives. So,

this is just one of the things on the

tour

that made it kind of a living hell for

the band members.

Now, as I mentioned, this tour was in

two legs. So, there was a a tour in the

spring and then in the middle of the

year they stopped for a couple months

and he went to the recording studio to

record the next album that looked like

it was going to be Tonight's the Night.

So, on the second leg of the tour, which

was more in the fall,

he played far less Harvest songs. So,

that kind of irritated the crowd. He was

testing the Tonight's the Night material

on them, all this new material.

And he would kind of punk the crowd by

saying, "Uh here's a Here's a song

you've heard before." And he'd play a

song that he had played earlier in the

set that was from Tonight's the Night.

So, the the crowd was getting angry with

him and unruly.

Young was behaving like, "Well, I I get

I made it so I can do whatever I want."

I don't know who he thought he was,

Miles Davis or something. But he he

really didn't get away with it cuz the

tour made money,

but critically it was a disaster.

By the end of the tour, Neil Young's

voice was giving out after all the

partying. And he needed to call in some

reinforcements. So, he brought in David

Crosby and Graham Nash to help out with

the vocals to bolster them a bit. And

this only helped marginally. I mean,

David Crosby was not endearing himself

to the rest of the band. His guitar was

turned up too loud on stage and Jack

Nitzsche is telling him to turn it down

and

and Crosby said, "I've been doing this

all my life. I know don't tell me what

to do." and that kind of thing.

So, there was one kind of funny incident

that happened at David Crosby's expense

in one particular show. He was rather

coked up and he was

jumping around the stage wildly and he

fell down and dislocated his knee.

So, the stage manager goes, "What's

happened?" They're like, "Hey, Crosby's

down." And they're like, "Is anybody

helping him?" And they're like, "No,

we're having too much fun watching him

writhe in pain."

Now, just to give you the idea of what

Neil Young's attitude was at the end of

this tour,

the next likely album to come out would

have been Tonight's the Night. Those are

the songs he had recorded in the middle

of these two legs of the tour and he was

playing these songs live.

And instead of coming out with that

album and promoting that album on the

tour, he came out with a live album of

the tour of the disastrous tour. And

this was he was just being very defiant

with his fans, essentially shoving it up

the fans' ass. And this album is

considered one of his worst albums. In

fact, critics call it the worst album of

the year. I don't think it's that bad.

It's got a lot of new songs on it that

people never heard, stuff that was

neither on Tonight's the Night or on

Harvest.

>> There was some good news for Neil Young

as his girlfriend Carrie Snodgrass gave

birth to their first son. Now, Carrie

Snodgrass had essentially foregone a

Hollywood career to be with Neil Young

and she moved in with him at his ranch

and played the housewife.

Meanwhile, Crosby hooked up with Debbie

Donovan who was Christine Hinton's best

friend.

Stephen Stills married French

singer-songwriter Véronique Sanson.

And Graham Nash hooked up with a

16-year-old wealthy playgirl named Amy

Gossage.

Luckily, their personal lives started to

soothe some of the problems they were

having critically in their professional

lives which seemed to be going down like

this.

Now, one of the things that they knew

they could always rely on if they needed

to was to swim in the warm waters of a

reunion. So, the following year there

was talk of that and they were looking

at doing a studio album and a tour and

it might have looked like this. We're

going to talk about it in part three

here on Pop Goes the 60s. AND I I I
