I had a great time! I showed up, realized I had FRONT ROW seats, took some great pics and these videos and got to meet him after the show...couldn't have been any better. (unless there were more Buffalo Springfield and Manassas songs!)

[cutis1000]

Give the guy a break, dude! He's been singing a hell of a lot longer than you!

[bobaloubro]

oh dear!

I have to agree with cogitoroboto here. I have played guitar for over 40 years and this is hot! Think about it. He has played this stuff for decades, and is placing different vocals twists on an old song.

I have always cared very deeply and have soo much respet for him as a musician, writer and player. This is just heart breaking. It's time to hang up the the big white guitar, and leave with class. Time and life has finally taken it's toll on or Mr. Stills.

I'm confused: dfh1970 implies that he can't play or sing anymore. I've only been playing guitar for a couple of decades, but I can tell you that he's spot on here -- he's using a subdued blues style that's perfect for the song; it's meant to sound that way. His voice here in this interpretation sounds amazing, really rich and full. What are you guys listening to?

sorry but you are wrong this man has charisma, his one of the greatest players in the world. i saw him live with a title on organ from his last cd and he sings wonderful

I had a chat with his guitar tech in Birmingham UK 10/08

and for that tour SS used a 53 Strat "currently his favourite"...possibly the one in the Vid?

He also brought two SS 58 re-issue Gretsch falcons..I was so impressed by them I bought one in December...

made in Japan beautiful build quality and superb tonal ranges through any amp. Best guitar I've ever owned!

All comes down to taste in the end

[bopplayer]

Anyone know what kind of strat that is? pickups sound very nice are they swapped or stock?. Amp he's using? thanks

i met him recently and he is still(s) so beautiful and cute and loves his fans he wants to be near them he told me he is jazzed his words to be back on tour and to keep it fun He can charm any crowd dont please count him out he loves us and we love him

He opened his 2007 tour in Reading, PA on April 19th, 3 days after the Virginia Tech shootings. I was sitting in the front row with a VT shirt on (I'm an alumna). Long story store, he paid me a lot of attention that night and took my mind off of it. By the end of the show, he had spoken with me briefly, expressed his condolences, kissed my hand and given me a guitar pick. It was a very welcome gesture of simple human kindness at a much-needed time.

I can remember when Stephen could still sing and play....This is sad...I remember seeing csn at tanglewood in massachusetts, early 90's. I think it was their acoustic comeback tour, what a great show, this is terrible though. I agree that Stephen should retire, rather than sully his great legacy with shows like this.
