I don’t really give much of a shit about that.” The guy who looks backwards and does this kind of stuff is Nash. It’s probably a good thing, but it’s not that big a deal to me. I am very proud of the record, this is like a repackaging. “Eh, I’m happy about it,” David Crosby said to Rolling Stone. “But I don’t have a dog in that fight, really. Discord among band members also contributed to the wait. Though the official anniversary of the album was last year, the coronavirus pandemic delayed production of the box. And ‘Birds’ is a perfect example of that.” I don’t want to stick out singing extra words that he’s not singing. Piece of music,” Nash told Rolling Stone. “It’s me trying to be the best harmony singer I can be with somebody of the stature of Neil Young. The four are still alive, mass murderer Charles Manson has been dead for some years.“I know it’s just me and Neil doing it with his acoustic guitar, but that’s a beautiful In flower power terms, you could say that good has triumphed over evil. It is nice to notice that the music of the four old hippies still appeals to young people, even today. The three of them also made phenomenal music I still get goosebumps when I hear the song 'Helplessly Hoping'. As a result, the album "Crosby, Stills & Nash" has found itself in the shadows somewhat. With the album "Déjà Vu", the foursome made one of the most beautiful albums ever. With Young's guitar and vocals added, the harmonies became even more beautiful, and not just live. Why? If he was that important, why wasn't the group called Crosby, Stills, Nash & Taylor? So it eventually became Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. But he was not present at the sessions at all. Drummer Dallas Taylor looks through the door window on the back cover of the LP. Suddenly there was a killer on the road, as Jim Morrison sings in the song 'Riders on the Storm'. Until psychopath Charles Manson and his clan started a killing streak. Lots of flower power, lots of mind-altering substances, lots of music. Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Cass Elliot from the Mamas and the Papas, Jim Morrison and the other Doors, they all lived in Laurel Canyon. Like the three men, he also lived in LA, in the Laurel Canyon district, the place for musicians in the sixties.
They decided to hire Canadian guitarist Neil Young. Stills could really play and Crosby could play a little rhythm guitar, but that was it. But to be able to perfectly bring the combination of guitar playing and vocal harmonies alive, they needed another guitarist. The recordings for the album, with studio musicians, were successful. 'Flaunt the imperfection', in the words of China Crisis, the British band that we - just a side track - had as guests at De Boerderij just before the pandemic. In fact, it might be the imperfection that makes the cover even stronger than it already is. Does it really matter they're not positioned correctly? Only some will notice and they won't be bothered, will they? I won't, in any case. I'm glad the photographer and the three musicians decided to leave the cover as is, with the picture actually not quite right. Moments that cannot be copied, because all details have to be right and that only happens once. When everything comes together and you realize: this is it. They decided to leave it that way, because the image itself was simply beautiful. And there was no comparable home to be found on the entire site. The next day they went to the same location. When he developed his roll of film that evening, he realized that there was something wrong with the photos: Nash and Crosby were in the wrong place. Diltz did a few photo shoots and Bob's your uncle. Nash, Stills, and Crosby sat down on the couch. An old sofa had already been put outside for the bulky waste. In a suburb, Diltz found a typical wooden American house. So a nice location had to be found to immortalize them for their first album. Everyone in the Los Angeles music scene knew that these three men would become world famous. Their vocal harmonies gave everyone goosebumps. Photographer Henry Diltz spent all day searching Los Angeles for a good location to capture the band members of this new folk rock group. Then it would have been logical, because the eye moves from left to right. Vocalist Graham Nash, on the left, should have been seated on the right, and singer-guitarist David Crosby, on the right, should have been seated on the left. What's wrong with this picture? Messrs Nash and Crosby are positioned wrongly.
