atlantic based contact fine friend main mutual personal records relationship singer
The relationship with Atlantic Records was always a personal one. Our friend and mentor, Ahmet Ertegun, was our main contact at Atlantic and our relationship was based on mutual respect. He is a fine musician, singer and producer.
along band couple hall james musically obvious past people personally rock roll taylor understand
That was one of the things that James Taylor said about us when he inducted us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; that this was a real working band. It's very obvious when people come down to see the show tonight, they'll understand that this band has been getting along better personally and musically for the past couple of years and we're flying.
appreciate brilliant club company cool flattering life musicians past touched worthy
I'm not a joiner of clubs... But this is a pretty cool club to be in. The past inductees are brilliant, brilliant musicians that have touched my life in many ways, and to be worthy of such company is flattering to me and I appreciate it.
band cared charts committed companies company couple days felt giving last lukewarm nobody promotion record several singles understood
After the lukewarm promotion of our last couple of records, we felt nobody at the company really understood us and cared about us. In days past, record companies were committed to working a band over several singles not just giving up if the first single did not set the charts on fire.
accepted coming good music sounds
No kind of music is CSN or CSNY; it's just what we do as a band. There is no accepted CSNY sound. It's just what sounds good to us coming out of the speakers.
impossible people
It's impossible to know why some people don't get the recognition that they deserve.
book four happens lives longer love months point step tour truly wait
We truly love CSNY music, and so we're always waiting, and what happens is that we have lives to lead, too, so, you know, at some point we have to say, well, you know, I can't wait any longer we have to book a tour because, you know, they take three, four months of preparation before we actually step out on the stage.
album tracks
We will take it one album at a time. We have other tracks in the can, but we'll see.
came liked neil roughly stayed studio three
We went in the studio ... to make music. And I think Neil liked that. When he came down to play on one song, he stayed roughly for about three months.
came certainly expecting fact fans favorite hear older proud recognize roughly songs work
We certainly recognize that our fans came to the show expecting to hear their favorite songs. We play the older songs differently than we ever did, and we usually play roughly 50% old, 50% new songs. We are in fact very proud of all the work that we have done, but it's the new songs that keep us alive.
adds booked handle million music piece records stuff tours
Especially when other stuff is not in the way. We've already done it the other way. We've already booked a million tours and 20,000 records for the record company; it all adds too much pressure. One piece of music at a time, one show at a time. We can handle that and we're doing well at it.
behind call constantly eight neil seem somewhat wants whether
We seem to somewhat be behind an eight ball, and what I mean by that is we're constantly waiting for a call from Neil as to whether he wants to do CSNY.
acoustic electric fully people sets within
We were one of the very first people way back in '69 to do fully acoustic and electric sets within the same show.
amongst best david discussion natural plan seems serious sit song unspoken
There's never really been any serious discussion amongst me David and Stephen about what we do with our harmonies. It just seems to be a very natural thing to do, and I think it's also an unspoken thing, too. It's not like we actually sit down and plan what we're going to do. We just do each song the best way we know how.
