Thanks for posting, from an attendee who was likewise surprised that they played this song. And very happy!

This is one of Stills's best songs, hands down. Pity its so unknown

This is the studio version with live Stills' lead vocals

@epimetero They did this song at woodstock- it was one of their encores, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded. Damn shame.

@ELVISHAGA I agree- I hate how he always rails against this period as if it holds nothing of merit. His live shows were fantastic, no doubt due to his awesome band!

@alt2ooning Believe it or not, this was pre-B-Bender. Clarence's is doing that all with his fingers.

There is no way that anyone but Clapton is playing that solo. It reeks of 1970 era Eric, straight from the Dominoes.

@MinstrelOnTheRun That's really interesting- I always thought it was Nash's harmony that was overdubbed later, as his voice sounds much different than on other recordings in 1970. The two voices definitely sound a little off (but this seems to change when Stephen's voice comes in at the end)

@CireAnab I think the whole tune's for Gram Parsons. Or it could be a chick. Brilliant how it could go either way!

@landrykkb You know, I've gone through phases where I thought each one of them (and all the associated permutations) was the weakest voice. To me, the thing about Crosby is that his voice is the glue that keeps Stills and Graham together. Some of the parts he sings are simply ghostly...the mo...

@wellergilardino9 As many people have pointed out, that video can't be Keith and Gram because neither play lead guitar like that. It's most likely Keith and Mick Taylor.

@fondofrory Even Richards himself admits that their standard of songwriting started to fall after "Exile on Main Street", largely because of the separation between Mick, who was becoming more acculturated to the socialite world he broke into, and Keith whose smack habit was starting to impact the...

@awotter Well, thanks for justifying your opinion with some sort of logical argument rather than just resorting to name-calling.

Oh wait. Nevermind.

@idaho101000 Aw man, that's such rubbish. There's not a single account that gives that any credit whatsoever. Gram had to BEG Mick and Keith to cover it- BEG them.

@captainsoul1953 Chris may be doubling Roger, Gene Clark style. But the voices that really pierce out are Roger's and Crosby's harmony. This album had this beautiful "dirge"-y, drone-y feel around that D chord, and their harmonies augmented that, making "Fifth Dimension" sound like was record...

@longlivejerryg That would be awesome if Payne did! But I'm pretty sure it's Terry Melcher on the ivories.

@jameus4 This has both Clarence and a pedal steel. In concert, Clarence would replicate the steel on the B-Bender, but this has Jay Dee Maness, I believe, on steel guitar.

@gmmakristin If you mess around with this song in audio-editing software, you can actually isolate the harmonies and pick out Gram Parson's voice in there, too. Roger also does a really interesting low harmony that I never heard before messing around with the tune! Deceptively more complicate...

@captainsoul1953 No no, I know what you're talking about. It was from 1973, and I had it somewhere once upon a time...might still have it somewhere. Man, they did a KILLER take on "Sugar Babe" and "Pensiamento" on that show!

@9erfandex Other way around. Clarence on lead, Gene comes in next, and then the rest on the last chorus.

No, I think the "gay" comment is to spite the guy who scribbled "music iz gay" on the bathroom stall.

@mikefastener That's actually funny, because the Danigelis and Cutler study seems to suggest that people tend to fall more to the left as they get older.

So I'm sure you agree that a several thousand member study outranks this clown Churchill, no?

@jimrennison1 What do you mean, it's not important? The C14/C12 and C13/C12 ratios are basically smoking guns.

@hulkamaniac1976 Your love for Taylor has completely clouded your objective ability to gauge pitch, my friend.

I love this version. For me, it's more dramatic than the master- the way the band fades on the chorus (complete opposite than the master) leaving just Tom and Stevie is so damn sexy.

@DawgPound86 Because they forget that the '60s had Twiggy.

@hampusheh Well said.

@powpraxis I understand, I'm just pointing it out so that people at least have a sense of what the song's original meaning probably was. It's easy to read one's own meaning into a song (which is completely and totally fine!), but I think it's also important to consider what the songwriters them...

Beatles fans take obsession to new heights.

@MrBEB123 How on earth did you get from McGuinn's comments on music to your little political spiel?

It seems the only one "pitching" something here is you.

@ineedaname7777777 Nope. Primarily because Carl Sagan, unlike your former self, was not an adamant atheist. In fact, he wasn't an atheist at all. He was an agnostic, and I can't think of the last time I've ever heard the phrase "adamant agnostic", because it's pretty meaningless...to be ste...

@moonrooster77 And if it weren't for the rigid authoritarianism of military life, there wouldn't be this song.

@lynington The UK version is CLEANER, not necessarily better.

I, for one, think the US version is actually better.

I love these guys to death, but I cannot believe that people who deny the use of autotune have truly listened to Art's little improv part at 1:55. It jumps from one note to another without going through any of them in between!

@DCartRow You're entitled to your opinion, and yes, I do enjoy Dudley's version very much, but I don't know about the Burritos being "mocking dabblers." They had quite a lot of talent, particularly at this stage.
