- Part 1 of Stephen Stills interview on 1970's television program "Sounding Out".
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:the interview shown here is shown with the full permission of MR. STEPHEN STILLS. Furthermore, all rights to this 1973 interview are PUBLIC DOMAIN.
One of the most overlooked underrated superstars ever. Stills IS THE MAN!
Agreed!
What passes for big talent today is a joke, mostly. Stills may be overlooked today but he was a monster in his day and still is to those of us that know his music. Steven Stills and his music still matters!
'The proof of the pudding is in the eating.' Steve cooks.
He’s great , I’m a huge fan . And he said goodbye NJ also 😂
Agreed
Still`s is too Awesome for Words. I love everything he has Done.
4 and 20, my hands down favorite Stephen song.
Stephen Stills is an INCREDIBLE !!! TALENT !! I TOO, could listen to him for hours on end. Wish I knew him so I could hang out and listen all the time : ) Rock On Stephen !!!
Stephen Stills is the man; he's such a versatile guitar player. He can go from playing kickass acoustics like "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" or "Black Queen" to great rockers like "Go Back Home" or "Woodstock."
Thanks for putting this up.. Stills is a giant ..
Fabulous! After all is said and done , a Bluesman at heart!
Huge talent. Almost too much ability as much of his solo work tended to be over produced - but within the structure of a group: Buffalo Springfield, CS&N/Y, or Manassas - man could he deliver. Also, his live performances could be spectacular. Keep rocking Stephen!

Stephen Stills was, is, and always will be cool.
Yes terribly sad and when I hear his immense talent it makes it all the more difficult to understand....he really is a form a musical God.
What ??
My big brother was a teenager in the '60's. I used to listen to his record collection, he was cool about it. Steve Stills is the best. Steve and Jerry, they play interesting music. Just Roll Tape. Absolutely awesome. Now I'm 60.
Steven Stills played..with all kinds of.players..It's a great timeline.
Love this! He has got such a great guitar playing style!
this intimate take with Stephen--thank you and God bless
Stephen, each time I start to play fingerpicking my wonderful Taylor GS-5 in different tunings... I think of you, pack all my things and listen to your records... 😁😙🙄
Greetings from France to all sweet listeners you are.
Stills is full of soul. It'd be great to jam and talk shit with the guy.
I've always loved this guy!
He is the man that can make a Martin sound incredible.
tony rice also jerry garcia as well , billy strings too but stills , stills is stills and always wills be the martin man
check out the work he did with Chris Hillman (formerly of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Bros.) in the group called Manassas. worth the listen. It was a side project in the early 70's while CSN was in one of their hiaitus periods.
Man, I was so bummed when this was deleted a couple years ago. Glad to see it back! Thanks! "Nothing To Do But Today" is one of my all time favorites. The funky guitar slinging on it is the shit!
Got to meet him last year. Very nice guy.
Stephen stills is strangely handsome 😍
little known fact...stills plays lead on clapton's studio version ''let it rain'' anonymously...
some of Stills best work !
Stephen Stills feels the whole truth in his music,writing and interpretive singing ,tell the truth-who's been Rollin you?Chris Young
This is the closest you will ever get to knowing the real Stephen Stills Listen to these parts very carefully!!
Thank-you......Ive been searching for this for a while.......Yep...this is as close up as you'll get. Im lookin to buy a martin like a d35 or 28 to get near the sound....cant go any higher in price.....i'll need some fingers too :-(
Excellent
One of the world's greatest guitarist and great s inger along with neil young .
Thanks for posting !
I wish mutton chops would make a comeback
be the change you want to see in the world
@@colin3983 Oh, I love this.
Steve Stills and Neil are the reason I have Martins.
immense talent
I want to stay up 3 days with Stephen Stills.
This is special - Steve Stills is it
True, brilliant I agree.
THANK YOU !
great stuff. favs!!
It's "4+20", originally on CSN&Y's album "Deja vu".
don't forget the brilliant "Cherokee" or "Good Times, Bad Times."
I love that man :)
I love him too, (you know not in love with him lol) ) whats true is that he is one of the best acoustic folk- rock or rock performers ever to pick up an acoustic guitar!
He said good bye NJ ! ❤
i liked this interview. think i'll watch part 2
Totally on the God Beam he is a gift
now now, no need to diss Dick Dale
Does anyone have him singing "Do For The Others"?
damagedangel08, you rock hard for uploading this...
4 and 20 from the opening three notes after the Bruce Palmer tuning explanation...interesting history too...
Listen to the solo version. Dick Caveat Show the night of the Woodstock appearance. TH-cam.
hey this guy isnt bad.
He looks fairly 'refreshed' in this video.
@toniswedberg omg "do for others" is my absolute number one favorite song ever i get lost in it when i listen to it,
Back when Stills was the shit!
He'll *always* be the shit...we shouldn't discredit an artist for growing older and not having too much to say anymore - he's written hundreds of songs and I'd love to hear something new from him but even if we never do, he'll still be the shit 🔥
does anyone know the song he plays around 5: 02? that is just frigging beautiful!
It's "You Can't Catch Me" written by Chuck Berry. The Stones also did a notable cover and Lennon used it as inspiration for "Come Together".
blackmore4 Thanks
Hi, it's called ''4+20'' good song tuning EEEEBE or can play in DDDDAD too :)
i just wonder and wonder how the soundquality is soo good of this video?? what mic will they have been using back in 1970
I love Stills, but holy shit is he flying in this interview...
So?
briliant
The fingerboard binding indicates that it is at least a 35, however although the abalone of a 45 is fairly indistinct due to the video quality, the guitar clearly has headstock binding and hexagon inlays which the 35 does not have, so it is at least a 41. If anyone can see the abalone on the sides and/or back, this means it is a 45. The body size is clearly a D. Voila D-45.
mercury13pam STILLS had a spectrum Pete Seeger style Vega type bajo and car wheel damaged donor steel rebuilt by Redon and Andy Bennett of Longmont CO. Made me a 28.5 barritone 12 string from a Michael Kelly AE bass -Who knows what kind of custom lutherie CSNY use no matter what they play looks like! your friend the fret fiddle fool,Chris Young
He did not say what the tuning is
what is the song called that he's playing at the start of the video
drunk or high, can't tell
drugs
positively both!
High af.
What difference does it make? That was 50 years ago. He managed to stay alive despite being a major user for so long. It's none of our business; just enjoy the music. He never told people to do it or to stay away from it, he was a mess at some of his concerts (ask me how I know) and we know nothing really about his real life. Just leave it.
@@melissa9375 For starters, when I made that comment a whole eight years ago it had only been only around 42 yrs, secondly, it's an 8 yr old comment, relax.
yes
He is playing a Martin D45 .
Ya...says IllinoiSe, and ecletic too...leaves out the second C. But who cares, what a brilliant musician!!
Southern. I had a white boyfriend who grew up on a farm ON the Mississippi and he said, "axe' instead of 'ask'. Smart. High school educated, loved to read. It's called dialect.
@marKism69: How exactly can someone be an "overlooked, underrated superstar"?
Do a little reading. It's a sin.
What's the first song he plays?
He is eight miles high
So what?
@m4ngo3 it's called 4+20 it's on Deja Vu
Looks like a basement studio
2:07 So cool here
He's very high during this interview oh my lord
So what? What musician wasn't in 1973?
Anybody know the song with the blues shuffle at 3:25?
Jimmy Reed "Take out some insurance"
Marchand Kenny Thanks buddy
Vitto Suico you're welcome man
Same
Has he EVER conducted an interview where he wasn't fucked up on SOMETHING?
Man look at those pork chops.
what is the song at 3:23 ?
Take out some insurance
Actually I said "being fucked up and it shows" and it indeed does. As far as name calling did you not call ME a "trolling bullshit artist"? I see nothing brave about my comments nor do I see them as the comments of a "gutter sniping coward". Stills has a well known drug problem. He's had it for YEARS. Are you not aware of that?
His drug use has had a seriously negative impact on his career and his health. I'm actually amazed he is still going.
me too, even if I'm not gay.
Still missing a tooth you could see he was going far .....
did not know that - that is despicable and quite disappointing to hear.
Stills is god.....
That's all well and good but do ya think he's EVER conducted an interview where he wasn't fucked up on SOMETHING?
Stephen is one guy who LOVED coke.
And I heard you love Twinkies.
I did too
Stones did a great version of "You Can't Catch Me"....gone like a coooool breeze
I gotta be honest. I think this is more of a question... This guy is talented and i understand that he was one of the first on the California folk scene, but is there a back story on him or something im missing..?? Is there something that makes him better then the rest.?
You want an answer???!!! Google it. What a bloody stupid question...man
Dude im asking the fans out there maybe something that's not on Google.... Why do you like him? What is it about Stephen Stills that you like?
Why do you like the artists/music you like? What is about the artists/music that you like? There you have the answer.
Whatever......
Jason, that's a great question. Sorry you got so much negativity here and I hope it doesn't turn you off to SS.
What was different about him is that he came out with a new type of songwriting (for the time) that was folk rock that was thematically more intense, personal and....psychological. Everyone else was playing blues, politically-flavored folk or a rootsy type of early rock. SS went into emotional territory that was unusual for the time.
For examples, check out 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes', '4+20', 'Carry On'. Also, he's an underrated guitar player because I believe most people focus on the songwriting (which was so pioneering and very unique.) His vocals were kickass, too.
If you look at it from these points of view, he could basically....blow your mind. It also has to do with when you grew up and what hit you the hardest when you were a child/teen/young adult. Not to take anything away from his talent, but the era you came up in has to do with how profoundly some things hit you.
Happy Listening!
Stills is great, but man is he high through all this, "whew...!"
LOL, Did he say"illinoise" LOL
I get on to my hubby for that. The s is silent. LOL
If I was Stephen reading these comments would make me find my dealer.
He is 40 lite years up high 😅😘❤️
Does this guy ever tell the truth? How many govts did he watch fall in S. America while he dodged machine gun bullets? But he spent his youth among the segregated blacks in the south who taught him to play music until he joined the folk scene in Greenwich Village, but came to LA and wrote "For What It's Worth" about the riots over closing Pandora's Box? Which version of that story does he tell here? I saw him auditioning for a TV show that would be called the Monkees; the rest of us had no idea his life was so full. But we knew he was full of something.
Have you ever read Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon?
No, why? Does it mention me?
caseyjoanz What reason do you have to not believe him?
Josh Sheets --Maybe if I hadn't heard him talk about the same events with different endings to the stories every time he tells them ...! Maybe if his ability to be all over the world experiencing everything from fighting S. American Contras to leading the civil rights movement. (he has claimed to have played a key role) didn't make me skeptical, I'd say it was possible. And it's possible I have my facts wrong. I might have misunderstood, you know? Listen to him yourself and draw your own conclusions. You certainly have no reason to believe me.
If you listen to his tales and think he's an amazing man who's had an incredible life, maybe I'm just too cynical. And I'm wrong about a lot of things! I really am. If he's someone you admire, it was tasteless of me to call him a Liar.
SHIRLEY PENA STAY OFF OF MY TH-cam SITE i KNOW A MONIKER WHEN I SEE ONE TRY AGAIN!!
No hatred here and I never said I dont' like Stephen but it seems YOU are the one who apparently can't understand the term "bye bye" seeing as you said it but keep replying to me. Why not just stop? Am I that charismatic that you simply can't walk away?
I'm from San Francisco! I wish I was from Ontario!!!nothing in the terms of music would have ever came out of the United States! The revolution came from Canada! It probably entered the Bay area they were eight Miles high! Put Stephen stills Graham Nash David Crosby and Neil Young!!!! Are the type of musician's that never can be or will be ever eclipsed!
Or duplicated! On any planet in the cosmic manifestation!
Coke much?
He seems really drunk.
You are exposing your own ignorance.Do a bit of research. His own son sided with his ex wife French singer and songwriter Veronique Sanson she was so abused by him. For someone using the name Webster look it up like in a dictionary.
more cowbell.....
Terrific musician without doubt yet quite despicable in his private life beating up viciously on his wife in alcoholic and drug-induced rages..what a contradiction when you examine his lyrics.
People said the same thing about John Lennon; he beat his wives, neglected his eldest son Julian, cut him out of his will, was a monster when he was drinking and/or doing drugs, and yet he is one of my favorite performers along with Stephen. Loved them when they either speak or sang. But here’s the thing, Stephen is still alive to defend himself, but John isn’t thanks to a crazed fan who shot him. Both men are musical geniuses, who were at times fueled by drugs and alcohol, but they produced many great classics between them as in groups and solo, and when they played, they were truly in their element.
I am dismayed at posters like you who keep harping about their personal lives and how they beat their wives, how many drugs they took, how many drinks they have before they became violent, or had numerous affairs with groupies and other celebrities, and how they are hypocrites for singing about peace and love while they were horrible to their families and friends. Both men were a product of the times; many of their contemporaries were also guilty of one, some, or all of the things they did, so I suggest you keep your trap shut until all the facts are in. As the old saying goes, there are two sides to a story, the truth lies in the middle.
@@tammylewis2408 Cynthia Lennon wrote quite the opposite. YO never said he beat her. He was a mean drunk, which is why he didn't get drunk all that often and eventually quit drinking. Lennon was never 'fueled' by drugs and alcohol. Try to avoid revisionist history.
Thanks for posting!
