Steve Stills was a hero of mine as a young guy. Absolutely triple threat singer/songwriter/guitarist and producer…wait, that’s four lol. Bought all the great early albums- Springfield, CSN, CSNY, Solo, Manassas… 75%+ of the music in the box set he did this interview to plug and that I also bought back then. Saw CSN live four times, CSNY three and Manassas twice …one of those Manassas shows is still in my all-time top 10 concerts. I was and am a Stephen Stills fan. Sad to see time and a rock and roll lifestyle diminish his talent and singing voice- though his lead playing got even better in the 2000s. Thankful for all the wonderful 1960s-70s music and great 70s shows. Thanks for sharing this interview.

In addition to his explicit musicality, Stephen Stills is musical in his interpretation of the events that are considered at the moment. Costas does the same thing, in a way that allows someone directly responsive and respectful to the experience of living. There is, of course a price for that. I appreciate the honest context that Stills provides here as related to questions about what was happening in 1991. And then connect that through a set of data points experientially considered, that continue to connect to what is happening right now, October 24, 2023. re: "For What It's Worth", "Teach Your Children", "4 and 20", "Carry On". Thank you for an informative interview, that still relates to the present, but that is an essential part of the artist's work. In this case, Steven Stills.

It’s heartwarming to hear Stephen speak so warmly and affectionately about David. I spent a while touring with Stephen, David, and Graham. It was a musical wonderland, with many surprises and a super happy crowd every night. Personally, it was a lot, with three vastly different personalities that sometimes made me wonder how they could ever pull a show together each night. Age is being very kind to David and Stephen. I first met Stephen early in the afternoon in Houston. I heard a thumping at the door and looked through the window to see him getting way too much attention from ‘fans’. Opening the door to give him an escape, he jumped inside the truck, genuinely affected, actually hurt that fans could be so crude and stupid, he had tears in his eyes. I gave him a chair, locked the door and had a nice time watching him unwind. He’s a very generous conversationalist, and I don’t mean that in a bad way, but he does like to talk. This was November of 1979, incredibly, 43 years ago. We had a nice thanksgiving dinner thanks to the guys. A sit down with linens and waiters for 50-60. That sort of thing is unheard of on the road. It was a happy crew.

Can't thank you enough for this fascinating and complete interview with Stephen Stills. You have an informed, articulate and courteous interviewer in Bob Costas, and an equally thoughtful guest such Stills, and you have the makings of a fine interview. It was always a treat to watch this late at night, when much of the noise of the day had subsided, in a quieter hour, where more thoughtful ideas and conversation could happen. And at just a half hour, Costa's show was just enough of a good thing. Both he and Charlie Rose were such fine interviewers. I felt badly when Costa's decided to pull the plug on his late night program. But he said, at some point years later, he felt he had gone as far as he could with the program, didn't want it to become stale...or words to that effect. He would know better than anyone. Anyway, you've kept the show alive by putting it on KZbin. So,thank you again.
