Check out Drugs charges and prison time

In 1982, after appearing in criminal courts facing several drugs and weapons charges, Crosby spent 9 months in Texas prisons. The drug charges stemmed from charges related to possession of heroin and cocaine.

In 1985, David Crosby, on probation for drunken driving, was arrested for hit-and-run driving and possession of a concealed pistol and drug paraphernalia. Crosby was arrested after driving into a fence in a Marin County suburb and officers found a .45-caliber pistol and cocaine in his car.

One of his famous stories is that while being interviewed, after being arrested, the reporter asked him: "Why did you have a gun?" Crosby responded, "John Lennon, man" and replied the same to each subsequent question.

On March 7, 2004, he was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, illegal possession of a hunting knife, illegal possession of ammunition and illegal possession of about 1 ounce of marijuana. Crosby left said items behind in his hotel room. "Authorities said a hotel employee searched the suitcase for identification and found about an ounce of marijuana, rolling papers, two knives and a .45-caliber pistol. Mr. Crosby was arrested when he returned to the hotel to pick up his bag." After spending 12 hours in jail, he was released on $3500 bail. On July 4, 2004, he pleaded guilty to "attempted criminal possession of a weapon," was fined $5,000 and given no jail time. "Prosecutors did not seek a more severe penalty on the weapons charge because the pistol was registered in California and was stowed safely in his luggage when it was found. A charge of "unlawful possession of marijuana" was dismissed. "Mr. Crosby was discharged by the court on condition that he pay his fine and not get arrested again."[9]

@stevedrums tks, For all YT'ers it shouldn't matter if anyone is high, a poofter or whatever, leonard da vinci, freddy mercury, charlie parker, earliest man ate /drank hallucinogenic herbs, am sure Jesus did too and he came up with some cool ideas :-) maybe Pontius Pilate had some bad shit. I played with Art Pepper 2 years, an experience of a lifetime, but yours truly could play a note after one drink or puff, to each his own. focus on the art my friends, nothing else matters.

@cliffworks4321 Mike Finnigan is playing the B-3. Funny, but as out of it as Crosby was, Still was in fantastic form.

Crosby's got the stare....

Uuhhh, excuse me but if David Crosby is so out of it, why does this performance sound so amazing. I mean he is 1/3 of the group both on guitar and vocals and pardon me if I am mistaken, but his voice is in the mix and he is singing perfectly. His form of concentration has always been like this. I have seen him perform about 25 times since 1964 starting with The Byrds and he has always had that kind of intensity and always been 100% in the music. Speculation of this sort is very unattractive.

who's on B-3 who are the other players other than CSN? tks

Singing, playing guitar, there, but....not there.

To be fair, even though these were certainly his "drug years", Crosby often did that intense eyes thing. He knows he has charisma and he digs the drama of performing.

Stills drug of choice was not booze. Check any interview of him after the mid 90's compared to 70's &* early 80"s and when he speaks it sounds as if he has a cleft palate. His drug of choice was coke and it ate everything away.

Still a great talent/genius,just too many demons I guess.

I know Stills' drug of choice was booze but at least he was able to keep it together on stage. This must have drove stephen & graham nuts, he looks totally & completely out of it, how in hell did he even remember the words???
