Stephen Stills - Sounding Out (1972) Part 3

[aoeria]

he's still got it! just saw him tonight in NY with his band and he was acoustic electric and everything between. His guitar and voice sounded great! WOOO!

[Shameonfed]

This is how I will always remember him. Great artist...and I mean artist most sincerely.

[BuonoBruttoCattivo77]

This guy is amazing, as are CSN, Manassas and all the other CSN permutations. I don't understand why this guy (Cros and Nash too) isn't remembered today the way Clapton, Young, the Stones, etc are

[hazor777]

Ok , I love Stephen Stills , and respect him very much , but here's my question : IF he considered what was going down in 1964 a pre-lude to a revolution b/c of the "fascists far right", Id like to know what his opinion is of the current state of affairs and the current illegal president occupying the white house.......if he says there's no comparison or that the current situation is nothing like 1964 or isn't worse , then he is a FOOL!!

[lacadam]

@hazor777 hmmm... Illegal president? what are you talking about?

[hazor777]

@lacadam : Oh HI! You must have just come out from yer fucking rock for the last 2 years. Illegal President? Yea, an illegally elected president -- not gonna expalin it to you - figure it out yer damn self -unless you're the typcal Fascist / Liberal who refuses to believe common sense

[lacadam]

@hazor777 lol a typical Fascist / Liberal , I am sorry but this proves how stupid you are, they happen to be two completely different things, both come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, its like saying i am the typical Greedy / Generous person... And thinking that Obama was elected by the people is not going against common sense, its just simply the truth.

[hazor777]

@lacadam : really? Completely 2 different things huh? So politicians/political groups and "community organizers" can't organize, sign into law or influence society from a Liberal basis to result in Fascists style policies? I think you better brush up on your history, of course...you're 25 so the version of history you were taught was revised which is why you're clueless as to my comment..Liberalism incorporates "useful idiots" as Stalin put it, once the policies are set ,they are eliminated...

[hazor777]

@lacadam :BTW- why would you post that horrendous version of Castles Made Of Sand? All political opinions aside, Im fair when it comes to an honest attempt to cover a great tune, but damn.....your guitar was so out of tune, ...if it was me, Id be embarrassed to post that shit.....but maybe that's the difference btw you & I, I choose to live in reality.....which would explain your delusional, Daily Show influenced, political beliefs...

[lacadam]

@hazor777 Look, when either the extreme left or extreme right come to power, yes they have strong similarities most of us are aware of that but saying that liberals, far from communits have strong similarities to something like mussolini's policy making is just wrong. And I find it funny how becuase I am young I have been influenced by a show i have never watched while you "lived" in a time without propaganda and where you alone were allowed to see everything clearly.

[Seasass]

@lacadam I was going to ask hazor777 the same question, but thanks for saving me the trouble. Looks like disputing Obama's citizenship is an essential element of truthiness for some people.

Great man Great music

Thanks for posting - very enjoyable

[bookkeeper57]

Stills is so Texan: doesn't need a 10 gallon cowboy hat.

[tepporocks]

Interesting to hear what inspired For What It's Worth.

It made me wonder if truly great music needs troubled times to be written?

In my opinion, the greatest music was mostly written during the 60's and 70's, which of course were very extreme times of upheaval and change.

Not to say that great music isn't still being written today, but on a purely statistical level, those times were WAY above today.

Times are bad now with recession and global warming, but are they bad enough to inspire us?

[hazor777]

@tepporocks : oh yeea, "global warming" woooo..... big threat , big issue happening there. I guess the fact that a sworn COMMUNIST occupies the White House, govt. ownership of 90% of US mortgages,EPA condoning environmental suicide and murder, the absolute dismissal and trashing of US Constitution and an ever increasing police state against it's own citizens while encouraging the influx of illegals as well as terrorists ops.- should be of no concern ,huh ?? you're a total IDIOT

[rubyramone]

thank you so much!!

[Charlarae8]

absolutely love this man. I also agree that I was born 20 years too late. I meet you in the next life, don't be late...

[mmelindam]

Thanks for posting these and thanks to Stephen for letting you share them with us...These are PRICELESS!!!! They are also more reasons why I know I was born 20 years too late....

[charliebubblesoar]

loved it! thank you. He's just too cool

[Kalooookalay]

Thank you, kindly, for posting this! I've enjoyed it very much.

[johng618]

Stephen Stills - even the name is great

[Babyhowdy233]

@johng618

I've always loved the way his name rolls off the tongue, it's almost musical!

Watching this wonderful interview-quite possibly the best interview he has ever given anyone-it reminds me how utterly SWEET his speaking voice used to be! He used to have this wonderful Southern accent, it always did things to me! Nowadays he can hardly speak at all, bless him.

[hollyhockshangheavy]

Performing he seems so gentle, but there's a lot more than that to him. What's tickling me is that his voice sounds like Dstin Hoffman in 'The Graduate'. I love his sideburns, eyes, mad tooth and wicked expressions. I've fallen in love (tho it was brewing since listening as a child).

[avalonmuse]

You nailed it with the Dustin comparison.  Yeah, those sideburns and cheekbones.

[bookkeeper57]

"If you kick me, I'll kick you back". Horses or people. Thanks for posting all this.

[69pittman69]

These clips should have more hits, stills is a legend

[MichaelHudock]

Stephen has been and will be my hero for many years to come.
