Stephen Stills would have to be one of the most underrated and talented musicians that ever lived.....if not the most. His guitar work and tone is magnificent and does it all from picking, bluegrass, rock and the most lush, dirtiest blues tones I have ever heard. And the smokey smooth voice. Truly love this guy, an absolute legend. What a legacy he has left, one that will never be equalled

I was just watching this on TV, the Woodstock directors cut, and singing along as usual when I realized that either I was messing up or Stephen was. So I played it back and sure enough, Stephen DOES mess up. He forgot the words " voices of the angels" and instead sang " lacy lilting ladies" twice. I've never caught that til today. Probably cuz I'm always singing at the top of my lungs with the boys whenever this is playing. Hey, I freakin' get it. They WERE nervous as hell. It's one of my favorite performances of this song regardless of the mix up. Just wondered if any of my utube compadres caught this too. I know my boys were nervous, but to play and sing and sound that frickin' good, with all their musical peers lurking in the background, wondering if they could pull it off LIVE, well, to me that just proves how magnificent they all were from the word GO. I LOVE MY BOYS, all 4 of them.(Yes, Neil was there too) I begged to go to Woodstock with my girlfriend, but I was 15, a sweet and innocent, cute and virginal, country girl who had never been more than 20 miles from home, ever. I can still hear my mom screaming " NO, NO, NO!! WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS? YOU RHINK IM GONNA LET MY BEAUTIFUL BABY DAUGHTRR GO WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE SEX CRAZED BOYS AND ROCK AND ROLL MUSICIANS ALL DOPED UP ON POT??? ARE YOU NUTS?!?! Yep. All these years later and I can hear her like it was yesterday. I think it was either WLS in Chicago or WOKY in Milwaukee that played the whole 3 days of music on their stations. So I sat glued to my radio for the whole 3 days and attended Woodstoock like that. But I still regret not being able to go.

They were my go to band in the late 60's while in HS. Several years ago when we visited New Orleans we went to a grand opening of a Planet Hollywood. We greeted each celebrity as they walked the red carpet. Then we saw someone step onto the red carpet and no-one seemed to know who it was. I saw him and gleefully shouted out, "Stephen Stills!!". Suddenly, he smiled and headed over to me and shook my hand. It was a highlight of our trip for me.. He meant a lot to me.

I agree with Jimi Page- Stephen Stills the greatest acoustic guitar player I'm America after a Hotel Room jam on a Zepp tour. Page also expressed that there are so few artist's releasing one masterpiece after another. He was referring to Joni Mitchell. She introduced there guys. Stills solo, CSN full band 7 nights at (The Fillmore) CSN Friends of the River benefit (Warfield)A Crosby on 🔥 show. Hitting notes that are still sailing somewhere 30 years later. Nash is so key to these guys. The glue. Live these guys are always good for a tear, a cheer and a bounce in your step for days after.

Over the decades he's shown his share of vanity, but what artistic genius hasn't? There are 'good musicians' & 'good vocalists' but his writing & arrangements are ingenious, accompanied by his incredible voice, a trained musical instrument of the highest order, along with his excellent guitar playing qualifies him for extra credit in my book, & though he may have treated himself to more liberties than many, in his later years he has come to an acute understanding of love and has matured greatly.
