David Crosby, Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash Co-Founder, Dies at 81


Neil Young weighs in. Turns out they stopped speaking in 2014. Here he speaks about the early days.

"We had so many great times, especially in the early years. Crosby was a very supportive friend in my early life, as we bit off big pieces of our experience together. David was the catalyst of many things," Young said. "'Almost Cut My Hair' and 'Deja Vu,' and so many other great songs he wrote were wonderful to jam on, and [Stephen] Stills and I had a blast as he kept going on and on. His singing with Graham [Nash] was memorable, their duo spot a highlight of so many of our shows."

Better days, CSN&Y on a NY classic.

At the end it's fun to see them rejoice, they knew they stuck the landing.

They sure did stick it! We saw CSN&Y at TC 20-25 years ago during one of their multiple reunion tours and Young carried the show.

I saw Crosby in a restaurant in LA about 30 years ago and I would not have believed that he would make it to 81. He looked terrible.
