Crosby, Stills, and Nash Recount Woodstock

Woodstock was the first festival of its kind and launched the careers of some of music's biggest stars. Among them were Crosby, Stills, and Nash. In 1969, the newly-formed played their second performance in front of 500,000 people. (Aug. 12)

Funny, I was there, but I don't recall these wonderful guys there, for whatever reason. And certainly one of my favorite bands of all time, but then, I guess I wasn't focused on the stage the whole time I was there. Seriously, don't laugh, that would be impossible, you know. I wish I'd take a diary and written it all down! No camera either.

Today, it would be all phones and phone pix and phone videos, ruin it all that way!

We cooked some field corn on a bonfire at one point next to a field...

Got back from Vietnam September 15th 1969; ANY Unit in The World who a Vietnam Veteran was assigned to was in deep shit; we hated the fucking USAF; they let me out early because I bad mouthed the war so much.

FUCK Iraq and Afghanmistan...SAME shit different war....

@prince696 The Monterey Pop Festival was in 1967 not 1968. Only Stephen Stills played there with Buffalo Springfield played. Then at Woodstock with CSN in 1969, then at Altamount Speedway concert with CSN & Young in December 1969. Stephen is the only one to play at those three iconic festivals.

@GtoThaillDog I saw him last night 10/21/11 and he sounded better than this talking to the audience. He also lost weight & looked pretty good. His voice is raspy but we are used to hearing harmonies & it wasn't him with the highs but Nash & Crosby first. If you listen to his solo '70 song "Black Queen" you can tell this.

I'll tell you, Stephen is on Rolling Stone all time top guitarists at #28. He is still a great guitar (and piano) player despite some loss of his voice on CSN & BF songs.

@GtoThaillDog To repeat what someone said here: Stephen has "stilted speech" due to his hearing aids. When he talks it is very slow and careful and when he listens to you he stands very close and possibly reads your lips. He is very deaf in one ear and has limited hearing in the other. He has beautiful blue eyes and he looks deeply in them catching every word. He talks slow to get his point across and says funny things and he makes sure you chuckle. He is a dear sweet Man.

Monterey 1Pop, 1968 was actually the first.

David Crosby is a great artist who walks in the sand of Hanalei Bay Hawaii while holding hands with Jan. We love and respect your artistry David Crosby your generous lyrics about life and delightful music soothes mankind mahalo. We walked in the sand with David Crosby and Jan we hugged. We talked it was grand today was a special Sunday June, 26, 2011 Woodstock reunion. We were close to the stage in Woodstock 1969 saw each band perform. We are in the Woodstock 1969 Movie thank you David Crosby.
