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.
anybody best decided fell freedom knew names ourselves
We knew that if we called ourselves by our real names, we'd have the freedom to play with anybody we wanted to and still have recognition... we decided that was the best way the names fell off the tongue... Crosby, Stills, Nash-that's the best combination, we thought it rhythmically made sense.
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.

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.
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.

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.
extremely hard involved music people received record worked
I worked very hard on me and David's record and I'm extremely proud of the record, as most people are who were involved with it. And, it's been wonderfully received by people who like our kind of music, they think it's something special, and so do I.
brought ended fly incredibly land minutes tried
I brought my lamps from the house, you know, so - we tried to make it as comfortable as possible. So, we ended up in an incredibly comfortable place. Crosby was very comfortable because he could just fly on down, you know, he'd land in Burbank and he'd take - you know, it was 10 minutes from the airport.
brought people
People like us probably didn't have any real answers. But at least we brought up the questions.
best guitar lead playing singing
Stephen is playing better lead guitar and he's singing better, and I think this is the best we've sounded in years.
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.
british-musician self stills
I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has.
charged fame hall rock roll
It is a little off-putting to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and then be charged to go there.
