Hey all, welcome! For quite awhile I've wanted to do a Rock Essentials vid about Stephen Stills who among other things I consider one of the great American guitarists of all time, but needed to get up to San Francisco to finish it and --- oh well, its finally here. Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to share it! Thanks much. Tim. :hand-purple-blue-peace::hand-purple-blue-peace::hand-purple-blue-peace:

Manassas with Chris Hillman was my favorite time frame of Stephen’s music period.

I grew up in Gainesville, Florida. I'm 74 years old now. I remember Stephen playing guitar at an older sister's house. He also formed a trio at Gainesville High School with Jeff Williams and Nancy Willingham. And he and Don Felder formed a band called The Continentals. I feel blessed having witnessed the very early days. Thank you for keeping Stephen Stills and his amazing talent alive.

Stephen Stills Manassas is one of the coolest albums ever. Like that photo of Hendrix looking up at him.
-
Poco and Crosby stills and Nash were some of my favorites back then.
-
Welcome back Tim!
-
The story about Neil Young and Stephen Stills meeting up when Stills saw Neil driving his hearse on Hollywood Boulevard is one of the great rock and roll coincidences
-
Stills’ Black Queen is out of this world.

I went to the CSNY concert in Hawaii in 1969. Most memorable was their last song, "Down By The River" with them all on electric guitars passing off the leads. Stills was a phenomenal guitarist, but they all sounded fantastic. They stood shoulder to shoulder singing and playing on that one song. One of my greatest concert memories in a lifetime of seeing most of the rock legends.

Born and raised in southern california, I have always been fascinated with the sound and vibe. How country and folk merged into electric and awesome harmony. Love watching your video documentary.
-
Very nice episode! When I was a teenager, in Europe, I volunteered at a radio station and had a show broadcasting mostly West Coast music, and my intro song for the show was "For What is Worth" (Memories...)
-
Well done. So much information in your videos. Well produced.
-
Not to take away from Crosby or Nash, but I've always felt Stills was the biggest talent in this group. "Love The One You're With" is a great example of his many skills. Thanks for yet another great story, Tim.

Man, I don’t know how you do it. Video after video, all gold brother!!

Back in the eighties I seen CSN at Wyoming Michigan where The Fabulous Thunderbirds open band. While I watched the show I noticed Steven watching the show,too.He was resting on the speaker and I locked eyes on him and I peace signed him and he did the same thing to me. My brush with greatness. I'll never forget that until I die.☺️
-
Stills is awesome. Love his singing and guitar playing. Great songwriter as well.
-
Great time from an era gone by to be a young long-haired hippie.
-
Finally ,a video of Stephen Stills. Thankyou.
-
Another great video, Tim! And the soundtrack: Wow, just wow!
-
Crazy how inter connected all those musicians were. What a time to be alive and not be overwhelmed by the drug culture to survive and become so successful too. Good video Tim.
