David Crosby R.I.P.

If you can find a copy of "Another Stoney Evening," an acoustic concert by Crosby & Nash circa 1971, then you will hear a very intimate performance that shows you just how great Crosby is/was.

David Crosby was an important figure in rock's golden age. However, he was the least talented of any band he was in. McGuinn was the essential genius of the Byrds, Stills of CSN. CSN would more aptly have been called Stills, Nash, and Oh, Yeah, Crosby. He was a ceaseless self-promotor, and eventually offended most of his friends and bandmates. Appropriated more than his share of livers in his lifetime. That said, rest in peace.

@richardmathes Seriously? The least talented? I disagree completely. He and McGuinn and Stills were equals on most every level. Granted, McGuinn sang lead for The Byrds so he was out front, but really, Crosby was right there with him on a talent level. Same with Stills. Sure, he was a cantankerous MoFo, but so what. If you’re talking about pure talent, then Crosby was as good as the rest of them.

I'll respectfully continue to disagree. 

@richardmathes Oy!
