Nash is 82 now. In the interview he says he's 71. An 11 year old interview released 18 hours ago. Still works!
Yes considering that neither nash or young were on speaking terms with Crosby not long after, it was good to see the original line up together. Only Stills ended up friendly with all the others.
I think this was recorded before Stills got his hearing aid situation figured out -- his speech sounds like someone who can't even hear himself. He has sounded much better in the intervening years.
@blueguitar411, off topic but didn’t Stills go back to grade school or thereabouts with Don Felder? Seems like Stills was the one who convinced Felder to move to California. Don I think even subbed for C, S or N on some gigs when one was ill or something. I’m pulling from a Felder interview I once watched but my details are sketchy maybe.
@@melodymakermarkWe’ll see if anyone answers but I must have seen that same interview with Don Felder. I lean toward your statement being correct.
Love these Guys .great job on interview.
The title is clickbait. You hear a miniscule bit of content on drug use in the first 90 seconds--and only from Nash--then it's about how they all met. Odd thing is, it was interesting to hear how they met and (in my opinion) didn't require a title topic that is equivalent of putting bait on a hook to catch a fish.
100% agree!
i am smiling mark and all i can think is the fact they cannot agree on the single most important happenstance in their lives! sounds a lot like drugs to me. hilarious. besides, the bait worked and here we are. fun interview.
I agree with your opinion
I could hear these guys talk about their lives for hours. I really don't think this video needed a click baity title to garner views.
The talented musicians that existed back when I was a gradeschool kid during the early 70s. That period was epic. CSNY were a folk/rock group. Hendrix came and went by 1970. Zeppelin, Cream, Doors, Airplane were just the tip of the iceberg then. I listen to all of the music from this era and I am 9 yrs old again. Still get chills listening to Joni Mitchell, Clapton and the others were mezmerized by her gift.
Masters of harmony !
all i know is its awsome to see these guys together !
✌️💚
so much pure talent, right there !
The best harmony there ever was or will be 💞
I HAVE BEEN IN CHARMED LISTENING AND SEEING THESE GREATS MUSICIANS, I WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE WHEN THEY PLAYED TOGETHER THE FIRST TIME , WOW I BELIEVE WAS WONDERFUL TIME. THANK FOR SHARING I HAVE ENYOYED THIS BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW
Loved the band and Dan Rather's interviews.
Love their music. THe rest is superfluous
Sadly you can walk down main street of any little town now and find some young person whose drug use is way more intense and insane than any of these 60's rock stars, whose drug use everyone still talks about.
They never let Stephen Stills get a word in edgewise about his former bandmate Neil Young and he's the one who brought Neil into the band
I saw Neil Young in concert and it was the worst concert I have ever been to. It was obvious he did not like performing. Playing in a band with the other members probably brought out the best in him, but he is a jerk.
@@kerrypickens8594You know him personally? 😂😂
We all have our own experiences- not truths. Truth remains the same.
Well said. I was thinking exactly the same.
@@MouthBreatherGaming Rationalize what?
Never ask druggies their memories!?!
These guys produced sublime music 🎶
i'm absolutely sure i currently dont know anything .
there was a time when i was absolutely sure about everything but that was when i had a memory .
When did drug use start? It starts with alcohol in 99.9% of cases.
Crosby, Stills and Hash..
😂😂 liked that
I guess they didn’t think alcohol was a drug, but they all drank like fish before 1968. I’ve used alcohol, cannabis, LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, cocaine, Valium, methamphetamine, Quaaludes, and many others: of all of those, I consider alcohol to be the most addicting and life-destroying. I’m happily sober for more than 30 years. 😄
no doubt alcohol is the most destructive drug in the world...Ironic because its legal and socially condonced!!
Meth is definitely way worse than alcohol. It so much more nuerotoxic.
I believe the one reason alcohol is the most dangerous is because it's "safe". Culturally safe, that is. Your superego doesn't object to it like with other substances, it's associated with food, history etc.
exactly!!!!!!!!!!
@@brageboogie yup...socially condoned
As a teenager I snuck into the Record Plant in 1990 when CSN were working on an album there. Nash autographed an old newspaper for me. They were still partying at that point but I’m sure it was nothing compared to the era 20 years before!
It cracks me up that after all these years, they still disagree on when they first met and sang together.
They didn’t know that is was going to be significant, at the time.
@@halweiss8671 no I think it was the drugs
@@dougww1ectebow I was trying to be kind.
i think it is just the old friends experience. friday i got together with several old friends from 30+ yrs back and after going through the current stories of where we were at we drifted into when we first all met and none of us could agree, all erupting into loud laughter and great hugs. was a wonderful evening. just glad to still have old friends.
@@jebstewart666 I maintain my position that it is the drugs they were using at the time. Even they have verbalized that in other interviews.
Stills, Nash and Santa!!!! I'm loving that crazy Kringle!
This isn’t ’about their drug use’.theres about 60 seconds where Graham talks about drugs at the very beginning. Misleading click bait title
Awesome...
Follow your passions is the best advice ever.😊
Little dig there at the end from Crosby.
Crosby's Pills & Hash
They cant remember because like my grama says "They were all pumped up on that pot shit"
Perfect!
funny, now at my age, i can barely remember yesterday, but i can remember those smoky memories of youth as clearly as i see the screen i am typing on. weird.
i do recall all my grandparents and even my parents seeming to have the same experience---and they were pretty much back woods teetotalers. i am sure there is some science to explain that.
@@jebstewart666 Jeb - Step away from the bong, my mang. That'll be enough 'talking around' things for tonight.
@@MouthBreatherGaming lol, not sure your age, but i kid you not, some 20 yrs ago, somewhere in my mid 40s, i realized i was always stoned! and i stepped away from the bong and i have been in bliss ever since. toss in old age and what a blast!
love you, mean it, peace!
@@jebstewart666 If I could toast both of you I would . Classic . Not that anyone cares . I’m 61 and (almost cut my hair) is in my top 5 all time songs .!! Take care later . Joey in Pennsylvania.
1:25 what a story! What people do for drugs.
Started smoking dope but Alcohol is always 1st in way shape or form
My friend, Dave, and I have completely different recollections of where we first met.
why is everyone so focussed on drugs ?
and everyone saying they sucked ?
they, separately and togrther, made some of hhe best music of our time.
they should be thanked and celebrated .
their music will be listened to 420 years from now...
Mr. Rather and production crew: You MUST make sure your guests 10:41 10:43 are hydrated to avoid the dry mouth sounds! At times it’s distracting.❤
I don't hear it. Stills has a speech impediment caused by lifelong hearing loss. Is that what bothered you?
But Stephen... how much LSD was being used at the time...? That can jumble memories pretty good!
three guys who can't get over how EASY Neil Young makes music look
they were NEVER happy that Neil could write and play and FINISH a tune in A DAY, while they tooled around for MONTHS finishing six tunes
source?
@@4465Vman all of their autobiographies
Neil young can be great or he can never terrible . As a guitarist , I prefer Stills . As a song writer he is the best in CSNY . As singers , they all were great but Crosby and Nash were superb harmony singers while Stills and Young were very good lead singers
Owsley changed the world.
The only truth l care about is the sublime music they made
They created an amazing sound. In this, they could just be seniors arguing about dates and laugh to ease tension because it doesn’t matter. Not a point to cause acrimony and pick sides.
Dope!
And Young!
This interview was with Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Young didn't appear, so it would be incorrect to list him in the heading.
It started with alcohol, not marijuana. Alcohol is one of the deadliest and most addictive drugs.
Alcohol leads to blow
Holy cow I thought it was the Presidential debate at first. How old are these guys?
Truth is elusive even when we’re all present in the same scene
arf arf arf
Drug use usually starts with alcohol and cigarettes
LEARY....STILLS...HENDRIX....YOU CAN BE ANYTHING THIS TIME AROUND???
DONT REMEMBER WHERE I READ THAT.
CORRECT ME .ADD ON.I LOVE ALL YOU
Can’t remember if it was Joni or Cass? Christ, bless them both, but Joni and Cass are two very different looking women. Stephen did too much drugs…
Why would you believe one man over the other?
Drug use didn't being with alcohol? That's hard to believe.
Consider the possibility that they were speaking only of illegal substances.
@@markstevenson6635 That's the point.
To me it was never all four. It was CSN +Y. Even this interview is three. The "magic" discovered that night at Cass Elliot's house was their unique three part harmony, which lsoon became their iconic first album. Deja Vu had none of that.
Deja Vu is the best album any of those 4 ever made. The first album is a masterpiece, but deja Vu is perfect.
Absolutely
Crosby's work far surpassed his contemporaries once he got clean.
Nash is unique.
I’ve said cannabis is a stepping stone to hard narcotics.
You've got to be kidding me that it's a gateway drug. Isn't alcohol a gateway to most things, but that term gateway, it's like the word drug that's used to explain fungi...😂🙄
okay. nice vid
but why the click bait title.
"they" don't talk about that
one does a little bit at the beginning
the least interesting of the 3 to hear talk about it
And what do we have today? Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift whose music, to quote David Crosby 'about as deep as a bird-bath'.
The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" was a giant hit back then. The pool has always had varying depths.
Why is Dan Rather considered the one to do these interviews with these huge old rock stars ?
Title change...Crosby Stills Nash and Young on how the collaboration started
I thought Rather was better than this. But to imply that marijuana lead to hard drugs is pretty bad.
addicts talking about addiction. sad but true. i know, i am too. only difference is i m 21 years clean. so far
Ted Nugent says Wango Tango
Crosby was an amazing musician. Sadly he alienated his band mates in his later years.
Different stories..
And drugs were involved.. 😂
Cannabis doesn’t “lead” to anything.
While the dealer was still dead?
Drug waste too bad
.... I almost cut my hair....
I’d go with graham’s version.
Alchohol makes you try anything i used to smoke weed and think it's just as bad as alchohol if you consume it daily
1:39 what did he say? Something like: "...and stole the pink slit bat for the mercedes..."
great interview - but don't expect to hear anything about their drug usage.
stephen stills memory is shot. Jack Kennedy?
It's so strange that Dan Rather is having these interviews. And I really didn't like that he started with asking Graham about drug use.
They made one classic album deju voo and then a lot of average stuff i liked teach your children
How'd they get Stills and Nash to sit down with Crosby? How old is this?
Graham says he’s 71 here so it’s around 2013.
Pot doesnt lead to anythings. Its your choice. Have some personal responsibility.
Should drug addicts be allowed to receive transplanted organs? What if your money beats other people on the waiting list.
must have been 2013. I always thought they had been at serious odds in that time. Even bewaring from contact...?
I saw what I believe was one of their final shows and that was October 2014. I think they played about 6 of 7 more shows and then never played together again
“I never thought I would die from snorting cocaine”
Ha ha ha
Yeah, the heart blowing rush does not feel like it could blow out your heart.
Did so many drugs that they can't remember or agree on anything. That tells me that you can't believe anything they say.
odd, i 've smoked whacky baccy and i didn't progress to 'charlie', had the opportunity, just didn't like it or its effect. gateway drugs?, pah ! it's ego or lack of it.
Stills claims he was intimidated by Joni and didn't want to sing in front of her... thus his Cass memory. But who knows for sure?
These guys were basically finished by 1974. 50 years later...😏
Cats have 9 lives. David Crosby has 9 livers.
He has no livers at present due to the fact that he is currently dead.
@@markkershenblatt had...
I'd bet sugar caffeine and tobacco came first then weed then everything and anything.
3 dope heads can’t get their story straight.
Why the first guy sound just like trump
What`s for sure is that a LOT of Marijuana was involved in how this started 😅
David Crosby was a huge A hole!
I think he acknowledged that.
So it IS a gateway drug.
I'll tell you later.
You’ll understand when you’re younger.
😂😂😂
I bet he drank alcohol first thats the gateway drug.
Well, duh.
Would have been nice to hear from the good member of the band.
Only know his name and some of their music ofcourse.. But this man to me, seems a truthfull and open person. But ofcourse i could be wrong..😅
Sorry, ,, weed doesn’t lead to Cocaine ,,,, lol. Been smoking weed for 40 years , still only smoking weed.. Weed leads to Dorittoes,, donuts, snack foods. If you get some good stuff on the right day, , some fun off the wall humour. And music.
Of coarse if you have someone pass you stuff on a silver plater , in a mansion, with a glass of Dom ,,,, and Caviar, and everyone around you is doing it like it’s normal. You might be inclined to do it.
I’m not surprised that the Davy Jones of classic rock would talk like marijuana is a gateway drug. What a tool
Stills is drunk as a skunk.
He’s deaf and said back in the mid 70’s if he continued playing he’d go deaf and if you look close he’s wearing hearing aids , that’s what a deaf person sounds like when speaking
Bollox
The Drug Generation, forever soiled by their obsession.
That's what the 1960's were all about.
um actually their parents generation was completely addicted to alcohol, uppers downer and cigarettes...MDS prescribed upper and downers like candy in the fifties , sixties ...alcohol has ruined more lives caused more deadly assaults , deadly car wrecks, overdoses, short mediocre lives than all the other drugs combined many many times over.....all that happened in the 60s after the birth control pill is people didnt hide it anymore, grew their hair and wore whatever clothes they wanted to !!
Dan 'I'd" Rather not tell the truth. ---No thanks
Crosby was a POS. Luckiest guy in rock and roll history. Minimal talent carried by geniuses like McGuinn and Stills in two different bands
opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.
minimal talent??? lol!!
Dan Rather stinks at interviewing- I wanted to hear more about Stephen Stills, and Dan cut him off.
Ya wanna hear the real story? I'm a step parent to Stills daughter Eleanor and it's way worse than that. All of them unfit to be at the bottom of an outhouse. And the most over-hyped bland music that ever was recorded. Stills has been out to lunch since about 1973 and one of the worst guitar players to ever worshiped. He plays on nobody elses work because he sucks and real musicians know.
Cass, Mitchell, Clapton, Hendrix, etc, etc... the collaboration and "guest on" albums list is quite lengthy. They had one of the greatest harmonies, EVER.
Are you just trolling nonsense?
@@johnnykay4340 I agree with you.
@@johnnykay4340 I was there at the corner of Mullholand and Coldwater, where were you, asshole. They couldn't ever come through live, they're a joke as performers. And Stephen, we all tried to help him, even Graham, read everything he's said over the years. Have you read the Rolling Stone Record Guides? Without Neil, CSN had nothing, absolutely nothing.
@@johnnykay4340 They censored me again, but if you've ever been over to the Mullholland and Coldwater mansion at 10 AM you'd know. Too bad I can't post what I first sent you. Stills was the only one with talent, but he's been drunk and stoned out of his mind since the very early 70s, read The Rolling Stone record guide. Hendrix? Did you ever hear what he did? and Clapton wouldn't go near him, what are you talking about? Illuminate me about Stills trading licks with Hendrix.
really!!?? Bland?? Millions of people would differ from you on that one
LOL, why talk about music, or anything of interest. Instead lets ask about Drug use from 50 years ago. Wow, waste of time.
This is why it’s important to watch the whole video before commenting….😂🤡
