@@bryanhale5254 Van Zant and all the boys in Skynyrd were big Neil fans - hell, Neil even offered them 'Powderfinger' when he wrote it, but they thought it was a better song for Neil. 'Sweet Home' was absolutely a response to '"Southern Man' and 'Alabama' - they simply felt there was another side to the story to be told, but there was love between them for sure.

The killer in this is listening to how Stills and Young play off each other. This is way more than just Neil. You'll listen to it again and it'll come through. Personnel for this track: Barbata drums, Samuels bass, Nash on organ, Crosby rhythm guitar, just off center; Stills lead left ear, Young lead right ear.

Stills and Young were jamming together since their Buffalo Springfield days. Just don't give all the love to Neil, Stills is a great lead guitarist and is very adept at playing off of Neil and has played with greats like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield. A song of Neil's to try is Country Girl, a three song in one trilogy, from the Deja Vu album. Great lead vocal by Neil, the usual awe-inspiring harmonies and one of Stills' best piano solos. I wore these albums out in the day.

Sometime in the mid '70s Neil stopped performing "Southern Man". He was performing it live during a US concert and a fight broke out in the audience. Neil stopped the show and walked off. With the violent content of the song's lyrics and the fight, Neil decided not to do the song live anymore. I do have a cassette tape copy of the incident. It's an audience recording. I don't recall off hand exactly when and where it happened.

My greatest groups of all time are simply The Beatles, Crosby still's Nash and young, and Led Zeppelin. Now, before anyone freaks out and has their own list, which is totally different. That's what music is all about and I get it. And in reality, the difference between the greatest and the next step down is miniscule. The true list of the greatest groups from the late 60s and early 70s would amount to a number closer to 25, but these in my opinion are the 3 greatest, and yet all 3 different. No 1 stops 3 groups of all time is wrong. And I have no idea who would be on those lists. But that's what's great about music. The fact that nobody's wrong.

As live rock albums go, 4WS shows how much more (IMO) artists had freedom to explore their music in a concert setting, back then. Pretty much every cut is performed in a distinctive manner from the studio rendition: longer; acoustic, instead of electric; solo, instead of band. If many YT comments I've seen are indicative, lots of "fans" of acts want their songs performed as almost rote renditions of the studio cuts - yawn.

I believe with Young and Stills going toe to toe so often and getting most of the attention that David Crosby is sometimes criminally under appreciated as a rhythm guitar. I’ve seen them live many times (CSN&Y and CSN) and Crosby was always playing his ass off in the background making room for the lead guitar(s)to really explore the grooves. The album “CSNY 1974” (released in 2014) is worth exploring for more live stuff. It covers their summer of ‘74 reunion stadium tour.
