Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Kevin Winter, Getty Images On Saturday, April 13, Crosby, Stills and Nash performed a rare small-theater show (their only Los Angeles-area concert this year) at Club Nokia. The performance was part of Light Up The Blues, a benefit for Autism Speaks, one of the world's leading autism science and advocacy organizations. The evening featured many other artists as well and raised over $250,000 for the organization. [...]
Jaws dropped, knees quaked and eyes twinkled. That was the reaction, when it was announced David Crosby from the Byrds, Stephen Stills from Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash from the Hollies had formed a band together. Imagine all that talent under one roof, and as expected the guys delivered the goods above and beyond the call of duty. Spring 1969 [...]
LA from The Byrds to The Eagles This is a great BBC documentary that makes a nice companion piece for our Southern California series from last year. Here is what the BBC website has to say about it.... Documentary looking at the music and mythology of a golden era in Californian culture, and telling the story of how Los Angeles changed from a kooky backwater in the early 1960s to become the artistic and industrial hub of the American music industry by the end of the 1970s. Alongside extensive and never before [...]

Let's listen....... 1. Music is Love 2. Cowboy Movie 3. Tamalpais [...]
Though they've since relocated to Portland, Moon Duo's Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada recorded the bulk of their pummeling new Circles LP in Blue River, Colorado, a tiny mountain town where they holed up last ... read more

"Let me tell you how it will be, There's one for you, nineteen for me, 'cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman, should five per cent appear too small be thankful I don't take it all, 'cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman" The Beatles infamous lament on the seminal 1966 album 'Revolver' [...]
Joni Mitchell 's 1968, David Crosby produced debut album Song To A Seagull has a great cover. Naive and charming in equal measure, it's also a great example of the vivid, wild and intricate psychedelic style that permeated late 19602s musical culture:
When Phil Collins released his final 1980s album, But Seriously..., it was billed as his most socially conscious work. While the project contains songs addressing social issues such as “Another Day in Paradise,” “That's Just the Way It Is,” “Colours,” and “Heat on the Street,” it still reflects Collins' gift for writing memorable uptempo tracks and ballads. In other words, [...]
I'd like to say tomorrow that today the subject was roses, but once again, it's death. Today's sub-topic: Does it really come in threes? I'm not talking about famous people dying in groups of three. I've never seen any consistent, compelling evidence to support this theory/urban myth. I'm talking about threesomes. What is it about them? If one is the loneliest number and two's company, is three totally unlucky? Consider musical trios, like Beastie Boys. Too often, it seems, one member gets taken from us way to soon. The latest example of the law [...]
Posted in Music Box J'aime beaucoup cette chanson / Fine Music Selection & Homemade Mixes. David Crosby est un sale type. En plus, il a un gros nez. Je ne vais pas vous détailler le parcours de cet ignoble bonhomme dont l'une des activités favorites est d'échanger son sperme contre quelques dollars dans des cliniques californiennes. Malgré tout, David Crosby est un très bon musicien à qui Justice s'est senti obligé de rendre hommage dans son dernier album. Ecoutez plutôt. [...]
Even as Crosby Stills and Nash, together off and on since 1969, gear up for yet another massive summer U.S. tour, there remains an electric atmosphere when those three voices intertwine. "When we get together and that first harmony hits," Stills says, "I think: 'Oh, good, I’ve got a job.'" He'll join David Crosby and Graham Nash on tour through [...]
That's right folks, it's Monday again... Sigh... Yes, already. So yeah, you could fight it, but it's so much easy to give up, isn't it? This could help keep you unmotivated: 1. Nick Drake: River Man ("Five Leaves Left," 1969) 2. Pink Floyd: If ("Atom Heart Mother," 1970) 3. Beck: Guess I'm Doing Fine ("Sea Change," 2002) 4.

By Trevor Meyer Wirral’s finest, The Coral put a lovely spin on a Byrds classic. Somewhere in the Irish Sea, with his sail cascading in the wind, ship captain, seafarer, and musical savant, David Crosby is channeling the voice of James Skelly and drawing inspiration for his next nomadic tale (well, maybe not). The Coral are always at their best, and their rendition of “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” is right on cue. The Coral - I'll Feel A Whole [...]
Coming on the heels of the Sweet Baby James reissue by Audio Fidelity, the outfit that releases limited edition remastered versions of classic rock albums, is the widely celebrated debut album by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Going back about a year earlier than Taylor's breakthrough record, Crosby, Stills & Nash also signaled a shift away from the harsher, heavier sound [...]
