Stephen Stills and Eric Clapton - Go Back Home

This video, through pictures and music, chronicles the creation of the historic "Stephen Stills" album in 1970. It was Stephen's first solo effort, and had his friends David Crosby, Graham Nash, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Ringo Starr, Rita Coolidge and Mama Cass Elliot performing!
Stephen Stills is an eponymous rock album by Stephen Stills, famous for his long-time membership in Crosby, Stills & Nash. It consists of songs written by Stills and is one of four high-profile albums released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their 1970 chart-topping album Déjà Vu.
The album features an array of well-known guest musicians, including David Crosby and Graham Nash, who contributed vocals. Ringo Starr drums on two tracks under the pseudonym "Richie." Stills' album is also the only album in rock and roll history to which both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix supplied guitar work. Hendrix would be dead before the album was released - Stills dedicated the album to "James Marshall Hendrix."
The song "We Are Not Helpless" was written in response to Neil Young's song "Helpless" from the CSN&Y Déjà Vu album and both "Black Queen" and "Love the One You're With" have remained in the performing repertoire of both Stills and CSN. "Love the One You're With," Stills' biggest solo hit single to date, peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 19, 1970, and another single pulled from the album, "Sit Yourself Down," went to #37 on March 27, 1971.
The album peaked at #3 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums in the chart in the week of December 5, 1970.

@time4action101,

Guess I'll say thanks this time!

[rogkeista1]

A classic. Beautiful playing from Stills and Clapton. But the unrecognised hero here is Dallas Taylor on drums. He was under aprreciated. Just listen to how he synchs with the guitarists.

[clayopalstar]

@rogkeista1,

Dallas Taylor was a badass with CSN&Y, his talent was clearly evident on 4 Way Street!

[Cravatman]

@clayopalstar Dallas isn't on 4 Way Street, that's Johnny Barbata..

Dallas a great drummer though.

@TheBolillo310 .. I suppose it take one to know one, Eh?

[time4action101]

@clayopalstar ... I told a friend of mine about this, he laughed like hell and said "Isn't a bit late in the game to become a scatterbrain?"

(I'm 58) ...-:) thanks again.& back again

@time4action101 your an idiot

Greatest rhtyhym guitar ever played. When Stills kicks it into double time, Clapton goes berserk.

[Doogie20000]

Thanks so much for uploading this gem. I miss Clapton's classic high-energy licks on the Stratocaster

[RAULIMON1]

@starnet36 I

He's credited as "Richie." He's on "To A Flame" for sure, but I am going on a 40 year old memory.
