When Manassas was released it was perfect, combining all the Byrds, Burritos, CSNY, Springfield influences with great new songs. It was necessary and right, plus this band could swing! Live, they were stunningly brilliant. Everything was happening so fast then....
@@jimwatson412 Was there more than one night? We were at the one which had guests Crosby and Nash and then Neil Young after songs from 4 album sides were addressed.
A bit tò young to have been there but it is well appreciated that someone took the opportunity to record for my generation and those that come after. Manassas were brilliant and its fantastic to be able to see them kick ass. There are no bum notes from beginning to end, thanks to whoever.....
Manassas in its final week of existence. They would play just two more dates - the last one in Columbus Ohio, on Oct 13, 1973. A few days later, Manassas announced it's disbanding. Sad a band this good and talented died so young. Just two years.
If you listen to 99.9 percent of radio stations you would think Rock has died, sad. Most stations play CRAP from the 80's and it's typically the worst of the 80's....
What a bunch of class musicians. And then of course there is the marvel of Stephen with just an acoustic guitar. I can't think of any other bands that sound like Manassas.
After hearing this album for the first time... went to the record store and bought 2 copies of this double-album, just in case something happened to the first!!
This was the way it was done!! A tube amp, a guitar , plug in and play. Saw these guys in aurora il. In 72 or so had just seen the allman ,s that same week. I almost flunked out if high school because i was going to concerts two or three times a week in those days. Ten bucks to get in!!!
I was there at the concert in Amsterdam (1972; me 18 )I never forgot this experience and one of the best albums ever made I still remember their solo last song acapella find the coist of freedoom buried in the ground But I was never able to find or hear this song again any body??
I saw Manassas in Portland Oregon in 1973, one of the best live performances I have ever seen. They took a break and came back with Stills doing "Crossroads" solo on acoustic guitar. The audience started chanting, "we want Manassas" until everyone came back to the stage one by one. AWESOME CONCERT!!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a long walk to the bus station down town, walked out of Winterland beautiful San Francisco fog in my eyes, and beautiful music still in my head, all the way to the Mc Donalds on the corner near the bus station. God I miss that city .Peace my brothers and sisters.
I never visited that fine city. (a missed stop hitchiking does't count. First time I was ever called a street person) Your description touches something in me, Like I had seen it.
I and my friend Bruce were there that day almost 45 years ago now. It was memorable. The only time I attended the Winterland. We spent the night on Stinson Beach and headed home the next day.
Concert elation I cherish the memories..how you remember the things you did at the time. Less pretension then, it was about the music, the experience. Thanks for sharing. At age 62....
great duet at 12:09 on "Anyway" Stills and Joe Lala. Joe was a pretty compelling singer from his days with The Blues Image, swell as a premier percussionist. RIP Joe.
WHOA! How have I survived the last 35 years without ever seeing this? My favorite album of all time, live. I always thought Hillman was the second singer on "Try Again Anyway." All these years. Never knew Joe Lala did so much singing. I always thought Stills picked with his thumb and index finger together, but sometimes it's his thumb and second finger. Here I am, born again! Whooo hoo!
Jeb Harrison Music, poetry, lyrics mixed with human desire to expose secret treasure entwined in De N Ay Belly bone may hold the....... Say can you see by dawns early light🕸🌑🌌🌒🕯🌋🔞❕❕❕❕ 🙏🏻👆👆🙏🏻 🕊🌾🍃🌾🌬🌪🌬🌪💨🌬 💯blow'in the wind.
personally I use what gets the best sound, no pick, pick w/fingers, thumb with or without fingers in combination, etc...I think, by listening and observation, that is how most guitarists play but I never did a poll or anything.
Really cool how Stills forgoes his ego here. Instead of just trying to be Mister Guitar God he has Chris Hillman and Al Perkins getting their licks in on their six strings too!
Stills and Manassas didn't stay together very long, but the double album they did that others are referring to here was/is a gem, and I still listen to it in 2019! Vocals a little rough in this concert, but still fun to watch.
TWO of my most favorite albums of all time. I saw them live at the San Diego Sports Aroma in 1973 when Stephen was on his typical mind set at the time. Brilliant as they all were, it's amazing Chris, as talented as he is, is playing this well just weeks after the death of Gram Parsons.
I was there too! Great show. I seem to remember he had a big horn section in the second part of the show . I seem to remember there were holes in the roof where Stills and the lads tore it off. Perhaps that was the 1971 show so I shouldn’t swear for sure it ‘73 show you saw. I just know the music was outstanding. Great memories,eh?
I saw them in 1972 about a month after the album came out. They definitely weren't coked up like this and Stills still had a lot of his vintage guitars on stage like the picture on the inside of the album. They opened the show with Rock and Roll Woman. It was all much more paced and true to the album and one of the best concerts I ever attended. It was also the best performance I personally witnessed of Stills and that included concerts I attended of his more famous groups. I'm glad this video was shared, but its not very representative of the early Manassas concerts. I think Manassas was probably a difficult group to keep together for very long.
Fat less coke than on the next summer Doom Tour with CSN, but there was some good interaction. This might have felt like home to SS, but I don't see a lot of joy in anyone. Considering they all were making more per night than he was... it's sad.
I was just a half generation too young for CSNY. But my older cousins and kids ahead of me in school played them all the time. I was 7 when the movie Woodstock came out and the spell was cast. Now that its the 2020's there is such a stark contrast between musicians with love in their hearts and tinny, commercial egomaniacs. Not that CSNY didn't have egos - but they sang about real love. real pain. real life. appreciate this concert even more today than when it happened -- so rich, real, full.
I was there also. Lost my friends at the concert and thus lost my ride home to Oak Park and had to hitch hike at 100am, drained from a combodrunk and LSd trip, was a good night. Saw them twice at Pine Knob, with Barnstorm opening, pretty amazing also (big James Gang era Walsh fan. Thought Joe Lala was amazing.
I would have to agree with ( M) below me When Still's put together ~ Mansas~ it was the start of really heavier Rock music, and Steven Still's is one of my favorite vocalist.- not to mention guitar players.
The Spectrum, Philly May 12 1972. My first concert, 15 years young and just getting into being stoned. Loved those times, thanks Manassas and Mexican pot.
Thanks so much for posting this! Absolutely my favorite band of all time...first Manassas album is just incredible. I actually saw them! At Merriwether Post Pavillion in Columbia Md. One of my first shows,but there have been very few that were comparable in the 43 years since. Stephen Stills was a god then.
Me too! No sitting on the grass for this one. We had seats! I remember Stephen crediting Joe Walsh with showing him how to play slide. The two of them sat alone on stage for a song or two giving the band a breather. One of the best concerts EVER!
Man oh, man...thanks for this 50 year old concert of Stephen and the boys. I saw Manassas in Roanoke, VA at the Roanoke Civic Center before they broke up - April 15, 1973? maybe 1972...Ticket prices were $4.20, $5.25 & $6.30... Ticket was a Birthday present along with a case of Heineken...thank you Deebie and Sharon!
En France c'est un must 🙏👍❤️❤️❤️❤️on est nombreux à toujours écouter ces deux albums qui nous habitent // Al Perkins jour sur une ZB...?😮je croyais qu'il jouait uniquement que sur une Fender ....
Saw Manassas live at West Virginia University, early '73 I think it was...still have the double album Down the Road and still play it today. No other era of music can beat this time in my life.
Stumbled across this full Manassas concert while looking for Steve still's song. I never knew this concert recording existed. AMAZING ! It should be released on Blu-ray or some other medium other than only on TH-cam
this is another reminder that even as good as the output of csny and stills with this group and that incredible 1st album it still gives me pause to think about what could have been with these guys that they could have had an even greater impact on music in the same way when i first heard an urban legend that Hendrix was supposedly suppose to join ELP, i sometimes think what if??? what would that music had been like??hmmm!!
Favorite Stills album with Manassas. I had the luck to see them live in Stockholm in 1972. A concert my mind still hold as one of the best concerts I`ve seen!
I saw the band play at Tulsa Civic Center Nov 1973..everyone was feeling great and sounding terrific. I had the 1st LP on Cassette for the drive up from OKC that night and played it for my best friend on the road and out to Tahlequah to see another friend. Great night, great tunes, musicians and all was in sync as I DIDN'T drive into Lake Tenkiller that night!
Manassas was a kickass band. Saw them at Merriweather Post Pavillion a few months before this show. The most musical talent Stills ever surrounded himself with. Hillman, Perkins, Dallas, Lala, Paul, Fuzzy.
I was at the show at Merriweather as well! Summer of 1973, I had just graduated from high school and rode to the concert on my motorcycle with my beautiful girlfriend on the back. Life at its best! Do you remember that Joe Walsh opened the show? And Joe and Stephen jammed on the acoustic set in the middle of the show. One of the best of many shows I saw at Merriweather.
Two of the greatest albums of all time - this one, Manassas, and Baron Von Tollbooth and The Chrome Nun from David Freiberg, Grace Slick, and Paul Kantner.
@@steveh46 Yes indeed - and I've seen them literally dozens of times since 1979-80. One of the voices of my punk rock adolescence in LA. But truth be told? I'd STILL trade it all to have caught these guys together onstage.
I listened to the Manassa album often as a kid(on cassette,) then in college and later the double LP, then the CD now. Chris Hillman deserves great credit. This is Stills at his best. As the man below says--I'd love this on blue-ray.
hop3777 I was at the concert across the Bay, at the Berkeley Community Theater, at just about the same time on that tour... it was the best concert I have ever attended in my whole life... bar-none!!!!
+Jay Cross I saw then in 1973 in Houston. The band was incredible! I hated to see them break-up. But, the next year CSNY came to Houston. So I got see both bands. I will say this that Manasa was as good as CSNY. The only better shows I have seen that were better was in '72 the Rolling Stones came to town. The Mick Taylor Stones was without a doubt the greatest Rocknroll band of all time.
We have all become so used to perfect auto-tune HD video clips but although this has neither I still recommend that you listen to the Manassas project by Mr. Stills, if you still need proof he was the real heart of CSN just listen to the Manassas double album (CD) project, absolute perfection. Also check out his solo albums there are some REAL gems on them, Black Queen especially , the best version of the song ever recorded, Stills is the real deal.
I agree. Stills was at his best solo and with Manassas. Although Crosby and Nash did provide some good harmony vocals, Stills was the real songwriter and musician behind CSN.
I have always been mesmerized by Stills’ musicianship. After reading both of David Crosby’s memoirs, and Graham Nash ‘s “Wild Tales” it’s not hard to see it WAS Stills’s professionalism and many talents that filled in the gaps. When Dévà Vu had no clear cut “single” for radio play, Stills went to work and brought “Carry On” in to studio, saying “I think I got it.” Granted it would not have been as powerful without the sublime harmonies of David Crosby and Graham Nash. That sound is what initially charmed me but going deeper through the years I agree Stills is still “the man.” I’m saddened by his hearing loss which has undoubtedly affected his ability to sing on key; an observation many fans noticed the last years CSN toured. There was a lot of criticism about Stills singing off-key which was true enough but I understand it now as a byproduct of his hearing loss and therefore unavoidable. How unfortunate he has to live with that loss. A real life changer.
I wish there were videos of some of the many great Latin-influenced tunes wrote and recorded over the years, influenced no doubt by his Cuban-born mother and life in Panama and other places where Latin music is king.
I've had the pleasure of seeing CSNY,CSN,C & N and of course the legend that is Stephen Stills a couple of autographs and picks but to my dismay i've never seen this underrated polished band.
I love TH-cam! This album was my favorite as a young teen and I would bet on it that it is one of the biggest influences that eventually turned me into a serious musician. As I believe it should be you can hear many styles fused here in perfect collaboration and makes this about the best music of all time. Where else can you get metal, fusion and country on the same album?
nice. SS dipping his toes into Latino influences meanwhile Carlos transcending into the spiritual stratosphere aka L, D & S / Lotus. Love it ALL! Musick is best.

- Stephen Stills
Awful vibes. They put on a great technical show, but... wow.
Simply outstanding and the ALBUM an absolute monster..... essential
A must!

I saw them at Saratoga performing art center with Joe Walsh and Barnstorm . I believe in 72 what a Great show ! Thanks for posting 👍
I think Stephen wanted to regroup his CSN band, produce and record more albums with them
Good info! It is sad, but both Stills and Hillman have always kept moving which, in a way, is part of what makes them so great.
I don’t think they got along, which is a shame
One of the best bands ever!
We just don't have JAMS like this any more. So SAD. I feel so lucky to have lived thru this period of Rock N Roll.
Ditto to tenth degree.
We don't have comments like this anymore.
If you listen to 99.9 percent of radio stations you would think Rock has died, sad. Most stations play CRAP from the 80's and it's typically the worst of the 80's....
There are great current Rock bands but they get no radio airplay.
@@showbox2084 First, check out Stained Glass by Alien Nose Job.
What a bunch of class musicians. And then of course there is the marvel of Stephen with just an acoustic guitar. I can't think of any other bands that sound like Manassas.
💐Because they were a "ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME"❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Stephen said Manassas could play any kind of music and he was right... such a wide spectrum on the double album (w/"Anyway" etc).
@@muzicaempathica6479 And naturally out of the 70s.. they don't have 'em like this anymore.
Couldn't agree more!!!!!!!
I have loved Stephen Stills for a very long time Manassas one of the best times.
1973 I went to Navy Bootcamp took one cassette, "Manassas". It has been a faithful companion through the years.
I will always love, love, love, the music of Stephen Stills and friends.
What a great band. Stephen Stills is a virtuoso guitar player.🎸
Side one of the Manassas double album is a perfect side. So smart to start the concert with it.
After hearing this album for the first time... went to the record store and bought 2 copies of this double-album, just in case something happened to the first!!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
Jeff Garmon Why not just record it when new . Then keep the new one in case you need another copy ?
Ignacio Crispe Perez I didn’t see any sunshine ... looked very dark like night time
I love it, i think i have two copies as well. The blown out party one from my youth and another one i picked up along the way....
That album is one of the best in 72.!
So excellent to see and hear this. Much too rare an experience. Stills' best band ever.
Ernest Osborne ❤ Happy Birthday To You ,Best Wishes for You, Dear friend, ❤
This was the way it was done!! A tube amp, a guitar , plug in and play. Saw these guys in aurora il. In 72 or so had just seen the allman ,s that same week. I almost flunked out if high school because i was going to concerts two or three times a week in those days. Ten bucks to get in!!!

Jacob Vredenborg You probably know this by now, but Find the Cost of Freedom is the closer on the 4 Way Street live album. It is a memorable song.
CSN Deja Vu or else it is the other one,,...oops sorry,brain fart or I would not have started this,
I saw Manassas in Portland Oregon in 1973, one of the best live performances I have ever seen. They took a break and came back with Stills doing "Crossroads" solo on acoustic guitar.

bad ass!!!

Long time Salem resident... Remember where they played
Pearls before swine.
best band all time!... SS best guitarist!
this is so amazing to see Stephen in his early days. Such a rockstar
I loved their album. STEPHEN Stills has unique voicexand Style.
One of the best 70s bands.I wore out there album
"Anyway" & "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star"..... priceless.....

Manassas could blow anyone off stage in the early '70s
great duet at 12:09 on "Anyway" Stills and Joe Lala. Joe was a pretty compelling singer from his days with The Blues Image, swell as a premier percussionist. RIP Joe.

Some revelations for me as well...amazing how we create music fiction in our heads...
Stephen Still's persona was just the coolest in this period. Of course his talent has always been as great as it gets.
Manassas...a real treasure...
What a tight outfit! Listen to the album, listen to every concert you can find of Manassas, they always nail it. These guys knew how to deliver.
The greatest band ever assembled
Really cool how Stills forgoes his ego here. Instead of just trying to be Mister Guitar God he has Chris Hillman and Al Perkins getting their licks in on their six strings too!
Maybe tired
Or on some relax drug
Yes, you are right; the music was more important.

What a stellar band, pmusicsllrom the heart and through the soul!
I was lucky enough to be up front for this gig 🤪
Out of sight!
Love this! I saw them in St Louis in '74 I believe. Bought the double album and wore it out. Joe Lala is the King of Cool. RIP, Joe!
Saw this great show at Pine Knob Detroit 1973. Very memorable! These guys were the real deal!
That's so awesome, man! Love these guys.

Amazing concert, one of my all time fav albums, Manassas
Yes, one of the best Colorado Rock And Roll Albums of all time for me too.
We drove from Wichita Falls, Texas to Dallas in 1971 to see them, what a Hell of a Show :D
I would have to agree with ( M) below me When Still's put together ~ Mansas~ it was the start of really heavier Rock music, and Steven Still's is one of my favorite vocalist.- not to mention guitar players.

That album.... still a great alright alright alright album
back when wha wha was cool
Stills is a trooper
The wha wha was... is still cool
william b Stoecklein Stills, Cippolina , and Zappa the three great wah pedal users. (maybe Jeff Beck on "Blues Deluxe" too )
burman smith
Jimi Hendrix was the innovator and all time champion of the wah wah pedal. He taught pal Stills.
Yep, I was there. 19 years old and smart as a stick.
I saw this tour and lineup ... a great concert. btw the Manassas double LP is a Treasure
1 of the best Stills & folks that ever hit our ears! I saw CSN,CSNY, STILLS(SOLO)...many times....I DID NOT GET TO SEE THE MANASASS TOUR. Dang it 😊

John Legere down the road ain’t a double lp mate
one of the greatest LPs of the last century and now a great live show!!!
Saw them on this tour in upstate NY!!! Once in a lifetime concert.
Don't see Nash on Carry On.. good to hear Dallas Taylor, the best drummer CSN ever had in my book. Great band.
davidturner9823 RIP Dallas He really turned his life around from heroin addiction and became an addictions counselor in later years.
Don't ever forget how great it was!!

I loved this album! I kept checking for it to come out at the record store but I missed out on the first issue. I finally got one and I still have it!
FUCKING WOW! Criminally underappreciated band!
Manassas was a kickass band. Saw them at Merriweather Post Pavillion a few months before this show. The most musical talent Stills ever surrounded himself with. Hillman, Perkins, Dallas, Lala, Paul, Fuzzy.
I was at the show at Merriweather as well! Summer of 1973, I had just graduated from high school and rode to the concert on my motorcycle with my beautiful girlfriend on the back. Life at its best!
Do you remember that Joe Walsh opened the show? And Joe and Stephen jammed on the acoustic set in the middle of the show. One of the best of many shows I saw at Merriweather.
More than talent than Crosby, Young and Nash?
Great band ! Can’t believe I’ve never seen this footage !
Sort by whatever works best for you not them thank you kindly 🐬
Sempre piacevole ascoltarli.
Two of the greatest albums of all time - this one, Manassas, and Baron Von Tollbooth and The Chrome Nun from David Freiberg, Grace Slick, and Paul Kantner.
Thank you. This is rare.
I could watch this over and over and yet over again. Thanks for posting.
So Happy i found this
Mixing rock, Latin, Blues, Bluegrass, country? Who would do that now?
Musica Latina es Cuban Bluegrass
Billy Strings
@steveh46
Los Lobos - Straight outta E. LA since 1973. Did weddings and quinceaneras upon request, too.
@@chriscoughlin9289 They are great.
@@steveh46 Yes indeed - and I've seen them literally dozens of times since 1979-80. One of the voices of my punk rock adolescence in LA.
But truth be told? I'd STILL trade it all to have caught these guys together onstage.
If I could only take one album to a deserted island this is it.
I listened to the Manassa album often as a kid(on cassette,) then in college and later the double LP, then the CD now. Chris Hillman deserves great credit. This is Stills at his best. As the man below says--I'd love this on blue-ray.
Fantastic !!!!
Simply perfect
Croz is right stills is a genius
Actually pretty sloppy, but fun to see.
was there that night thank you
wow...you really saw something wonderful.love manassas
hop3777 I was at the concert across the Bay, at the Berkeley Community Theater, at just about the same time on that tour... it was the best concert I have ever attended in my whole life... bar-none!!!!
+Jay Cross I saw then in 1973 in Houston. The band was incredible! I hated to see them break-up. But, the next year CSNY came to Houston. So I got see both bands. I will say this that Manasa was as good as CSNY. The only better shows I have seen that were better was in '72 the Rolling Stones came to town. The Mick Taylor Stones was without a doubt the greatest Rocknroll band of all time.
You Sir, have excellent taste in music! Identical to my own in fact ;)
OMG! Thank you so much for this. What a treasure to be watched over and over.
+Joe Lala on percussion knocks it out of the park in this live performance.
We have all become so used to perfect auto-tune HD video clips but although this has neither I still recommend that you listen to the Manassas project by Mr. Stills, if you still need proof he was the real heart of CSN just listen to the Manassas double album (CD) project, absolute perfection. Also check out his solo albums there are some REAL gems on them, Black Queen especially , the best version of the song ever recorded, Stills is the real deal.
I agree. Stills was at his best solo and with Manassas. Although Crosby and Nash did provide some good harmony vocals, Stills was the real songwriter and musician behind CSN.
I have always been mesmerized by Stills’ musicianship. After reading both of David Crosby’s memoirs, and Graham Nash ‘s “Wild Tales” it’s not hard to see it WAS Stills’s professionalism and many talents that filled in the gaps. When Dévà Vu had no clear cut “single” for radio play, Stills went to work and brought “Carry On” in to studio, saying “I think I got it.” Granted it would not have been as powerful without the sublime harmonies of David Crosby and Graham Nash.
That sound is what initially charmed me but going deeper through the years I agree Stills is still “the man.”
I’m saddened by his hearing loss which has undoubtedly affected his ability to sing on key; an observation many fans noticed the last years CSN toured. There was a lot of criticism about Stills singing off-key which was true enough but I understand it now as a byproduct of his hearing loss and therefore unavoidable. How unfortunate he has to live with that loss. A real life changer.
he's the guy who had soul in csny
Yea , the log cabin/ did wonders!!!
The untold story!!!...
Murder and more..!! CIA much??
Black Queen!💜
love it man when stills says WE AINT STARS MAN !Great music man the best! thanks for posting this!
Very happy to hear and see this.
My friend Joe Lala was a sweet guy and a hella percussionist.
Thanks for sharing
Oh yeah....Stills, Hillman, etc
Were amazing as well
What is amazing is that when I saw Neil Young in 73 David Crosby and Graham Nash played with Neil.
I wish there were videos of some of the many great Latin-influenced tunes wrote and recorded over the years, influenced no doubt by his Cuban-born mother and life in Panama and other places where Latin music is king.
I've had the pleasure of seeing CSNY,CSN,C & N and of course the legend that is Stephen Stills a couple of autographs and picks but to my dismay i've never seen this underrated polished band.
Thank you...
This album is right up there with White Album and Physical Graffiti and exile on main st
Thanks was there fantastic show!
Thanks for posting. Real music.
I love TH-cam! This album was my favorite as a young teen and I would bet on it that it is one of the biggest influences that eventually turned me into a serious musician. As I believe it should be you can hear many styles fused here in perfect collaboration and makes this about the best music of all time. Where else can you get metal, fusion and country on the same album?
Mine, too...
...add jazz and the where else is Alllman Brothers Band...well, you asked.
Simplemindedfool. TH-cam is garbage, and it's a pity they monopolize the video sharing industry.
nice. SS dipping his toes into Latino influences meanwhile Carlos transcending into the spiritual stratosphere aka L, D & S / Lotus. Love it ALL! Musick is best.
great stuff seeing Al on a Strat playing lead....
