@mega2846...You're SOOO correct! Amazing how many think its tuned different than SS does, he has to use Herco gold pics at times cause his index finger's so mangled up from use, I know, spent time with Stephen at his ranch near Caribou Ranch, Nederland, CO during Illegal Stills recording mid 70's
It's out of Open D. I used to play it in open E, too. But voices change over time and the higher key results in a lot more broken strings, as well. It's easier on the neck and is just an all around better key, especially if you're going to do a 100 dates all in row.
I love to hear about your generation learning about the great music we had. Our daughter - 39 - loves this song too!!...and the band... Me, I am a Stills nut!
My 9 year old asks to hear CSN on a regular basis. She likes GOOD music ...The Hollies,CSN, CCR, most everything 80's, plus, The Diablo Swing Orchestra, Rasputina, and the "Repo! The Genetic Opera" soundtrack, which is just crazy fun!
And I never got why Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher got him to father their child. After watching his bio on BIO and learning and loving their music, I get it!
My pleasure man, It has been fun to watch the critics of this video, CSN obviously like it enought to put out the DVD! I also think nost of the critics are much younger than you and I. Be well my friend, music is the way!
What the hell is Stephen saying at the end. Those aren't the original lyrics and unless I memorize it, I only know about 80 words in Espanol'. Laungisto piquito
Stephen in is fantastic form here, the guitar work is riveting! I love the tempo and drive in this. And in his solo the little flirtation with 'Carry On' (at 5:31), and how he chills the clapping tempo right down a few seconds later. The chords at 7:40 melt my heart every time. Every Time.
CLASSIC ! ! !

tunings nice but it kind of ruins the beautiful ending because of the lingering E tone

Nice version, however I do not like all the chorus effects on Stills' guitar...
deweypug 2 years ago
It's not chorus, it's because all the strings on his guitar but one are tuned to the same note.

It's either DADGAD OR DADDAD

I have read it is in "Bruce Palmer Modal Tuning" EEEEBE, seems weird but I think I can see it in his solo.
