David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash speak

"CBS This Morning" co-host Anthony Mason talks with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash about their shared history and the timeless music they produced, as "Déjà vu" gets a delayed 50th-anniversary expanded release.

CSN and CSN&Y are probably my favorite bands/bands of all time! I was fortunate and got to meet all of the members of CSN about 20 years ago in Atlanta. Graham Nash couldn’t have been nicer; Stills was pleasant; Crosby was aloof and distant. Still hope to meet Neil Young some day…

For all the kids out there just now discovering CSN, do a KZbin search on Steven Stills's band "Manassas", and get a master's education on guitar playing. That band was a Who's Who of 70s musicians, and the creataivity and production of the sound still holds up to modern standards.

Stephen was the only real master of instrumentation in CSN, on top of being a great songwriter and vocalist. Nash & Crosby's strengths were mainly in singing/songwriting, but on the instrument playing side Nash was ok, and Crosby was quite average.

I had the joy of seeing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young live at Olympia Stadium in Detroit in June 1970, 51 years ago (yikes) and I was 2 months shy of turning 14. Indelible days.

[@brewer9565]

Much has been said about Crosby over the years, and much of it by David himself. He seems to have come to terms with who he is and his purpose in life, which is to make music. I was fortunate enough to see him on tour with his band in an intimate theater in Clearwater, Florida two years ago prior to the pandemic. His voice was excellent, his demeanor was humble and appreciative of those of us in the audience, the caliber of musicians on stage was first rate, and I left feeling grateful that I was able to experience an evening of music with an icon. Life is short. We should always remember to appreciate what we have and make peace with each other before it’s gone.

My daughter and her girlfriend, attending UCSB, were having dinner at a Mexican Food place near the Campus one night, in the late '1990s... My daughter saw this man sitting alone at another table there, and kept looking over at him; she said she thought she knew him from somewhere.. He eventually saw them looking over and invited them over to his table.. They talked a while, had a pleasant conversation.. Later, my daughter remembered him!!! He was on the cover of the Deja' Vu Album I played for her and her sister when they were little kids.. I played all genre of music to them early on, so they could learn about all music, and appreciate it. The man she recognized from the Deja' Vu album was David Crosby !!! He eventually told them who he was... She told him she recognized his face from a record album her Dad (Me) played to her and her sister, many times, when they were little kids.. David Crosby was very happy to know this.. He even paid for their meals when he left.. If I could only imagine what that night must have been like for her !!!! David Crosby!!! :) No One will ever be able to duplicate what this man did for the group !!! His voice !!! You can hear it in any song he sings in!!! It is absolutely amazing !!!! Listen to him sing in just the chorus of "Something Fine", by Jackson Browne.. The last chorus of this song - he takes his harmony to another most beautiful, higher, perfect, level, that one can imagine... All of them = genius level musicians... David Crosby = that Voice..... :)

I'm 58 and can't say enough times how those of us who grew up during these years experienced the best musical experience no one after us could say the same. Music today is just 'okay' but I continuously listen to the music of yesteryear. What a time it was.

[@jonathandewberry289]

I mean, at 58 you were about 5 to 8 years old for their forming/breakup but of course the hits played on for years after, standards on radio and record players so yes I would say you grew up with it, this was your parent's music but it was also your childhood 'background music'. Your 'coming of age' music, let's say the music your fellow teens were listening to, the grad dance music of your era would have been some peak 'Disco' era. Your 'Grad Dance' would have been what.. The Police, maybe Queen? boogie oogie woogie till ya just cant dance no more? Your Grad Dance 'slow song' was almost certainly Air Supply? I get what you mean though, this was the music of your childhood, its what was the dominating music of your earliest memories and formative years.

[@ralphmunn1685]

I'm a decade older, and this stuff really WAS the music I lived for. But it breaks my heart to hear people around my age claim that "music today is just OK," or many times something far less positive... yeah, we witnessed something really special. But the best "music today" is leagues beyond what it was in my youth. Anyone saying differently is listening to "popular" music, which has ALWAYS been mediocre.

The perpetuation of this "feud" gets them off the hook for any more live performances, because they know they can no longer "bring it" live - IF they ever really could. It hurts me to admit this, because, like I said elsewhere, they have always been in my Top 10 favorite groups.

[@MissAstorDancer]

Agree. I have been a huge fan of CSN and CSNY since 1969 - they were IMO a studio phenomenon. I've gone through 3 LP copies each, of both the debut CSN album, and "Deja Vu". I have never heard one live performance, with the exception of SJBE at Woodstock, that did not make me cringe. They were never, IMO, able to reproduce their magical vocals live. If they were to try to do that now, well, the cringe factor would be off the charts. Again, just my opinion.

I loved the original vinyl lp album. I got a copy in about 1974. I think a friend of mine gave it to me when he was re-buying almost every album he owned. He said he could hear imperfections. I never did. And, I ended up with a lot of nice records in the process. The album is/was an audio masterpiece. It wasn't until the air conditioning system in my apartment became infested with toxic mold in the 90's, and I had to throw out almost everything I owned, that I learned even the paper and cardboard used on the original issue 12" jackets of the Deja Vu album were rare. They only made the jacket front paper for a while. After that, the photos and colors were the same. But, the cover didn't have an orange peel feel to it later. On one hand, I feel bad that ultimately, the supergroups can't stay together as long as I'd like them to. Many times, they can't even stand to talk to each other anymore. Thank goodness we have recorded audio and video, so we can experience them over and over again in their original, sterling form.

[@matthatter2849]

Yeah re-presses pretty much suck unless they ended up getting a good remastering. Sometimes better vinyl was used to press later copies. I hated the re-presses of the very late '70's/early '80's. A lot of the time, the gatefold jacket was done away with to cut down on expense!
